Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd September 2008

Morning all, well best laid plans and all that .. scuppered, DH gone back to bed feeling sick. Which as he is NEVER sick is most unusual, but consequently means I am not going on the scaffolding by myself. I'm sure H&S would have something to say about it.

So, instead in a moment I shall go and make a start on the ground floor windows. Maybe tackling the top of them with a stepladder, but that's as far as my danger levels go, although with greenbee's father's experience, maybe sticking to the floor may be best!


My M.A.C.A.W. is a "simple" one .... bed by 11pm. Asleep before midnight.

Others:


Make tomato sauce with cherry toms from the greenhouse
Buy a scrapbook for DD to be a “profile” book
Draw up DD’s party guest list
School shoes – cleaned

Minging Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
Wipe all the windows in these areas!! - um ..... orbital sander anyone
Tuesday Tidiness- Living Room, Hall and Stairs
Level 1
Vacuum floors and sofas
Level 2
Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
HHI
Level 3
Water tomatoes
Clear the top of a cupboard or the mantle and give it a thorough clean and put back only what is supposed to be there. - that's a good one to do, I have details of a car accident which happened over 10yrs ago safely stored on one, I told DH I would "forgive" (stop mentioning it) after 10yrs, I'll give it to him to incinerate tomorrow.
Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself - saving vacuuming until Friday and will do all in one hit, currently causing too much distress with DIY
Extra Mission: Pick one or more of the following tasks –

1. Binbag dance.. Get a binbag.. fill it and bin it!!! Get rid of those hideous things!!
2. Wash any cushions, throws or curtains that need it.. Do you need your thick winter curtains up yet?

Wednesday Wishes- those frightening kids rooms and spare rooms
Level Two
Vacuum the floor
Extra Task List

1. HHI - yes, defo need to do that, as did a load on Monday but rest of it hopefully will be dry enough to do.

Shopping delivered and put away so off out now.

Mudbath - which MBTs do you have? I've already tried them in JL once - staff have had great training there - I felt like I was doing a MS - and I didn't want to take them off. How often do you wear yours?

Serena - Dahlias were ok - they had signs up saying it was the worst year in 47 years of growing them - still had a nice time though.

Toilet is now full of coke - never tried it before - how long do I leave it?

Mudbath

I've done the tupperware cupboard (why do I call it that when none of it is actually tupperware?). Now i'm going to fill a hole in the wall! I'm going to keep a list of all the things I do today because I'm sad like that!!!

What have I done today?
- sorted out tupperware cupboard
- filled a hole in the wall

Now to find the polyfilla! xx

We got a similar gadget for my terrified DD2. It's fantastic, because she feels able to deal with spiders now, without having to make a fuss, or hurt them. Also we found a free cure yourself of arachnaphobia (sp sorry) hypnosis thing on google. Which we did together, it really helped her too.....

Business link (I think MS is mystery shop(per) not sure about MBT though)
Denisefowler put me in touch with business link to get going with the cakes. I am going through their starting up guides and they include tasks and workbooks etc. Im going to a workshop in November and want to have been through the guides beforehand. I just can't get going.

Not feeling too hot today-but I'll live (always do:) ) Thanks for asking.

MBTs are funky shoes which are meant to help you walk more 'naturally' not sure about the other acronyms!!

I am trying to decide whether to hop on the bus later to the new wilkinsons which is quite near me, could do with a few bits. Had just intended to do the 5 minute walk to starbucks for a coffee and pastry (prescribed by DH!) but i'll see how my energy is later.

I am adding to this post some attempt at a list, not gonna bother with spare room but there's a few little jobs i can do without much energy:

find a dentist and make appt
make smear appt
phone insurers over getting excess back
look at diary and arrange meal with friend x 2
put summer duvet away in black bag

Morning ladies.

Having computer problems here, there was a virus on the computer - think we may have sorted it, but if i disappear again that is why.

Helped my sister do her coursework yesterday, and she really does not know much about computers and word processing but doesn't really have time to do a specific computer course, so i said i would help where i could. I also had my check up/scale and polish at the dentist, and got DS1 some socks and new toothbrushes from my mum's shop - i got him four colgate toothbrushes for the price of one in Boots, and as he just chews them, we go through quite a few. :eek: so pleased to save some pennies there. I then did not much else apart from bath and feed us and the boys.


Today i have:

• WM - load of lights
• ran steriliser
• sorted breakie
• got some haricot beans into soak to try a baked bean recipe.
• boys washed/dressed
• window cleaners came, so paid them
• packed baby bag to go to parents later.

I have a quick question for ebayers. I had an item sell 10 days ago and the person hasn't paid. I sent them an invoice, then a couple of days ago sent an email asking them to get in touch if there was a problem, should i now do the payment dispute?

Also, sarah shattered, MBT -masai ---- trainers, not entirely sure but the ones that make you stand right, MS - mystery shop, BL - business link? thing that polka is doing for her cakes.


DS2 seems to be weaning himself off the breastfeeding. He hasn't fed properly for days apart from his night bottle. i think it might be time to stop.

Michelle, x

BTW SS did I ever tell you about the day DS was born... I forget who it was, but someone in the matrix did a prose about living life to its fullest? DS bio dad quoted it to him as soon as he was born, deep and touching words...but I was so :mad: that it was all he had to say...it was soooo rehearsed. And the docs were trying to take him to get his APGAR done and there was the ex waving him around in the air trying to be all cool:rolleyes: All I could get out was "oh my boy,my baby boy, mummies boy":rotfl:
