Weekly Flylady Thread 6th October 2008

Christmasshopper

I've never defragmented anything before. What effects will it have?
My bathroom hasn't been so deep cleaned since last time it was painted. I've just taken the chrome shelves down and put them in the dishwasher.
Oh by the way...I've just decluttered the last two pickled gerkins out of the jar into my tummy. Is the vinegar any use for anything or shall I chuck it away like I normally do?

Well, that was a waste of time, I read Christmasshoppers post so thought I would start defragging my computer and then went to go into the kitchen when my mum called, so have been on the phone for the whole time... (By the way CS, it will just clean up your harddrive and give you more space, so it should work quicker...)

OK, off again then - 12.30 - 1pm anyone? I'm starting now because I need to get on, but if anyone wants to join me, please do... (beginning to tire, need the support!:o )

Christmasshopper

Yep! Count me in for the 12.30 -1pm. That should just give me time for a quick cuppa before we start.

I must:
[strike]empty the bins[/strike]
[strike]clear the exploded nappy from DS2s bed and change his bedding[/strike]
[strike]find DS1's appointment card for Friday[/strike]
[strike]Level 1 the bathroom[/strike]
[strike]change the litter tray[/strike]
post four jobs on reed Done one, can't do more till I have the other log on password
read up on security clearance yawn
and play in the sunshine

That means I only have gardening left on the list- :j

I have a charity bag to fill so a 27 fling 12.30-1 and then out to play.

Tag and Denise:doh: No I didn't. But it does make sense now why she didn't give me a 24 hour one now. She told me for the first two weeks if Im craving really badly I should have one in the evening-thats why she specified evening:rolleyes: Thank you.
I tried Zyban in SA but as soon as I finished the course I was back on again.
I am feeling better today-but DS has been vomitting:( He doesn't seem unhappy within himself though so I'll just watch him and observe the 24 hour rule.

I spent most of the morning on the phone but whilst I was on the phone I did some flying. My friend thinks i'm mad though-she says she can't do anything whilst she's on the phone:rotfl:

So here's what I've done:

• One load in the WM
• WM finished and hung on the stairs
• Yesterdays load off the stairs and in to ironing bin or put away (whichever was relevant)
• Made the beds
• Hoovered the bedroom
• Dusted the skirtings, bed frames and dado rails in bedroom
• Dusted bookshelf and dresser-polished both mirrors in bedroom
• S&S bathroom

Next I'm going to deal with the kitchen so I can get the dinner on...Im doing chicken and ham chowder and there will be leftover to go in the freezer so I'll have a free night later in the month:j

Hi...not sure how much flying I will get done today, as ds is still poorly and we both had a rotten night.

Still if I babystep through it I may get more done than I think....hoping ds is open to the idea of an afternoon nap

HHC completed. My house is now one bag of rubbish, one bag of recycling, and 1 dyson container full of dog hair, lighter.
I'm going to make some nice soup for lunch now and while it is cooking I will touch up the paintwork in my bathroom before I put the shelves back up.
What an industrious day I am having!
