Weekly Flylady Thread 15th September 2008

Hi

Well i've just got back from Toddlers where the kids did their sponsored bounce, it was great fun. Not all the money has been collected yet but so far it's over £200:j . Not bad going at all. With the money from the insurance as well we should be able to get some really nice toys.

Housework wise i have made my bed and thats it, i need to strip the boys beds so i haven't done them.

Doing those things before bed last night made such a difference this morning i wasn't rushing around so much. Especially as i got up late.

I want to get out in the garden as well at some point today and do a bit of tidying up, the lawns need mowing but i need to have someone to watch Ds2 whilst i do that so i'm going to have to do it tomorrow. I need to check if OH has put the wood in the wood store he made me yesterday, if not Ds1 can d that when he gets home.

Does anyone fancy a HHC 12.30-1?

Just having a lunch break - I'm actually getting somewhere with my essay at last :j:j Brain just suddenly kicked in and I got 2 paragraphs done (including quoting someone and doing all the referencing for that, and then the self-assessment bit I need to do at the end I've put something on) then my stomach started growling and was putting me off major style so I made curry & chips a-la-ding (microwave meal ) and just had that. Off to play another round of Tetris, and I'm hoping my brain will kick in like it did before so I can get it done and dusted by 3pm when I'm hoping to submit it. If I can do it then I'll be able to fly tonight and my kitchen floor may actually be white(ish) again instead of grey

Valli

ooh ooh me me I'm in too!

HHP for me!

Hi

DS is in such a foul mood! I've just got him to sleep and got my dailies done, will have to go out to Savers when he wakes up. In the meantime, there was a wanted on freecycle for bits for a raffle for a Macmillan function next week. I emailed her a picture of the cake I did for the comp and offered to make one. She came back really excited with a huge yes please! Her mum is an events organiser so she has local press attending and has asked me to give her some business cards too:j
When I phoned DF to tell him he laughed at me, saying he read my stars on the way to work and it said I should concentrate on a creative effort that would arise around the 20th of this month as it could have a huge impact on my financial situation in the future:rotfl:
Right, where is my list?

Hello you crazy lot!

The sun is shining and it looks beautiful out there which is great. Washing machine still not working - no plumber on the horizon to fix the loo either but hey, getting used to flushing with buckets...probably more water saving that way actually...:rotfl:

Firstly - happy birthday Joanne! :beer:

Daily list
feed cat at least twice
deal with the post
do my click thrus
write at least 3 reviews
check emails and reply
do any surveys pending
Do some STP if I can bear it *laughs*

Extras for today
file 10 peices of paperwork
Make a birthday card for my nephew
Get OH to deliver card and voucher
prep for dinner
ring plumber again!
ring C/C companies
find CC statements
Write cheques for CC

I love the idea of a MACAW though I had to read back four pages to find out what it was..:rotfl: . As a Life Coach I often gave a similar thing to my clients and it can really help make big changes over a period of time, almost without you noticing!

Hope you all have a great day flying.

*hugs* to all
