Weekly Flylady Thread 13th October 2008

Morning Soappie, MoZzy & DeniseNZ, where you both at this morning?

I'm off to work soon so not on here today... will try to catch up tonight if I'm back early enough... Can't see much flying happening tho!

I have done an S&S of the kitchen and lounge already, but need to vacuum once DS is up. I love the way it is so easy to make it look nice now in a short time, instead of going to work and thinking 'I'll have to sort this mess out tonight when I get home'

Mumofjusttwo - had a great day yesterday, made a nice change to get out and have adult conversation with my lunch, rather than a quick sandwich and H&A - E is a beautiful child, and so well behaved, she was absolutly lovely.
Toots, have a great day today, enjoy yourself.
Soappie, good luck paying your inlaws - mine never let me pay even though I nag, (I buy the bits first so they can't do that too if I can) so I usually end up by doing something nice for them in return - not sure if that will work in your situation, but if they really won't take anything and it becomes an 'argument' as such, (my nan used to just say 'I shall be offended if you keep on' and got very upset), why not buy them something nice to say thankyou?
everyone else - have a great day, hope no-one is down today and everyone feels good and gets good news all day!

They aren't far from me and are really campaigning for change. I am sure I had my first while still a teenager, so why did they change it? This is one of the reasons I found
Petition I found too http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/smeartests/sign

Thanks for the links lil_me. Have signed the petition.

Morning All!!

Well, I'm really glad I found this thread as its already made an improvement, even DH has commented - praise indeed :rolleyes:. Its been difficult as the little one gets me up at least once in the night and she's really been screaming yesterday and suffering with teething. I literally couldn't put her down for ages - taking her today to be weighed and I'll ask the HV whats best to do.

Extra Mission : help yourself
[STRIKE]Slop over the oven and hob
Take one small electrical appliance and give it a thorough cleaning.. the toaster or the kettle or the microwave.. or whatever you like..
[/STRIKE]

Level 1
[STRIKE]Vacuum floors[/STRIKE] and sofas

Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets[/STRIKE]


And this is what I'm going to do today:

Level One
Clean floors in these rooms
Level Two
Clean baths, toilets, don't forget the outside! and sinks.. shine the taps with a toothbrush
Clear any clutter from desk <---not sure how far I'll get with this if at all - its a disataer area!!
Dust PC and desk and wipe off those cup rings!!
Wipe keyboard, house phone, sockets, switches and mouse etc

:mad: why do we have men :mad: he drives me absolutely batty sometimes :mad:
he left work late & got stuck in traffic so was in a bad mood when he got home, moaned when i asked him to watch dd2 for me then disappeared off to relax in the bath for an hour cos he was tired!!!!! like i'm not, i've also done a day at work then come home, fed dd2, helped dd1 with homework, prepared & cooked dinner, changed dd2 into pj's & given her last bottle, put washing on airer, made lunches for tomorrow, done dishwasher, done bottles for tomorrow (cos when i asked df he said he was too tired)
:eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek:
ok rant over, sorry ... but if i tell you guys i won't moan at him

Tell me about it :rolleyes::mad: My husband works shifts and according to him that is the worst thing in the world and gives him the right to swan around as if he's the king! I'm sorry but doing a night shift and then getting to catch up on your sleep is NOT the same as getting at the most 6 hours sleep a night and NEVER getting to catch up! I think he thinks I sit on my bum all day and watch this morning - well, only when I'm feeding

Anyone else fed up of having a big house? I've got one big study, one bathroom, one shower room and one downstairs toilet...loads of clean :eek: That's why I'm struggling! The big extension looked good on paper and when it was empty :rotfl:
