Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd September 2008

Flylady_Flower

Hi all, count me in!

Done next to nowt this weekend and had DD round saturday night (she was a bit upset over some family stuff that was supposed to have been said, but seems OK now), she stayed Sat night after coming out up the club with us and went home to my mums later this afternoon... It was lovely to have her here as she makes a great cuppa! :rotfl:

I did tidy the garden and cut the grass though, and hubby jetted off the patio, plus we changed the terrapin AGAIN (didn't flood the house this time ) and put a nice heater bulb in his tank to help his back and some vitamin drops too.

Plus I went next door and helped them with their garden too (no, not a good neighbour, just sick of seeing the mess in there plus doesn't look good to prospective people wanting to exchange with us... method in my madness... ) the grass was sooo overgrown and the small border they have was awful too - I used my petrol mower on it as theirs wasn't getting anywhere - hopefully now it's cut, they can keep it down...

Still thinking about my MACAW as so many things I want to make routine in my life, but I think the main one at the moment is exercise - I don't have any and am constantly tired, so think this will benefit me most, so my aim for this week is to do a minimum 10 mins exercise a day (doesn't sound a lot, but is massive for me - may increase next week)...

Right, off to finish catching up on last weeks posts and will be back in the morning to post my list... (got help with it tomorrow as DD coming round for a few hours to help me with some business stuff... :j :j :j )

Errrmm - do you think I should do this too then as I'm a teeny bit older than you :rolleyes:

Oh, and Valli and Tag - I sorted my pegs this evening

Pleased to hear it Froddy

Think I should be doing a Valli as well seeing as I'm a very teeny bit older than her as well. Only 14 months mind.:D

TAG

Right I have decided what my MACAW will be.

I must be in bed no later than 10.30pm Sundays to Thursdays......and looking at the time I won't be including tonight:D.

So if you see my green light on please please tell me off and send me to bed.:D

Just a quickie from me ladies - we got back not long ago so we unpacked the car and got kids to bed and not a lot else. The short version of the weekend....

plus points -

• ds2 slept well
• i got tons of sleep and help
• ds1 told me twice he had done a poo and he had, so that might be the start of potty training and a way to save some dosh soon.

negative stuff

• we woke on friday morning and someone broke into every petrol car on our street and stole petrol - probably only a gallon from each but we reported it and had the police round before we left, and it was all really crazy, and i have a lovely scratch on my car from the azzwipes
• one of the cats has peed in the pantry (understairs cupboard) before we went and it smells rank - we've mopped it with starclens, but it reeks - any OS tips for that one as i don't think bicarb will cut it.
• DH spent somewhere in the region of £150 on his stag do - which he doesn't think is much - :eek: shock horror, so some careful balancing of the books needed to deal with that one.

Several things going on this week. I've promised to help sis with her 1st assignment for her course, i have to go to the dentist, and i will have to do some serious money jigging as i have several more birthdays to sort. I'll be catching up on the thread before starting any cleaning

See you all tomorrow

I did the kitchen yesterday so maybe I'll concentrate on the hotspot that has become my bedroom.

Morning All
Well wasn't around much and didn't do much flying either Must try harder. Didn't even keep track of the thread.

Managed to get all the ironing up straight yesterday and now seem to have another pile. I don't know where it comes from. I did also manage to do a few bits in the kitchen yesterday so hopefully will have less to do today
