Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd November 2008

Actually I could buy a tin for my sister and her family - she has 4 kids - one's moving to a flat near us though - they are almost all older than mine...that's the sis who bought my two a Wii last year:eek: and the girls bought my two extra games too - and then bro in law handed over cash for an extra controller and nunchuk :eek: as they hadn't been able to get any...
Obviously it wouldn't be their whole gift...in fact sis has bought her xmas gift from me and given it to me to wrap:D - I have to pay her for it though :cool:

Well, I'm going to post even though I haven't had a chance to get near a computer today (and hardly at all all week). One day left on the bathroom - apparently - and I will be very glad to have a workman-free house. They have been perfectly nice workmen but still, workmen in my house.

I need to be able to clean round and be on my own for a bit!

I haven't read anything so I hope people are OK. I did see last night that Johanne and Pigpen have been having bad times. I hope things are no worse at least.

Right confession time, I haven't done much I'll be honest, tired and low on energy and no inclination to do much of anything to be honest.

Work is, as usual, gruelling, it's not so much the people I work with it's management, sheesh, there's got to be better ways to make a living.

Anyway, put 1/2 lb ON ala slimming world which, considering the copious amount of cake's I have made and eaten all by myself, is a flunking miracle.:D


GOT A GLASS OF RED, :eek: my first since THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE VOMITOUS TRIKER IN THE NIGHT............:D

Cleared sidess on kitchen worktops, wiped down.


Took many sauces out of various cupboards to organise into one cupboard because I can never find them when I want them.

Folded some stuff that was previously on my bedroom floor, it's on my bed..........it may go back on the floor if I can be[strike] arrrrsssed[/strike] bothered OR it may get put somewhere.;)

I cleared the table.....uuummmmmm..........I probably did something else but can't remember, ummmmmm.............ummmmmmmmmmmm, *screws face up in concentration*.........ummmmmmm ...........oh yes bought a few ickle bits for chrimbo from the sainsburys half price toy sale.:D

Going to get my jimjams on and have pudding, lots and lots of pudding.:rotfl:

Tomato soup & aubergine. Melon as a starter isn't a great idea as it can ferment in your stomach and make you ill afterwards. This has happened to me several times and has NOTHING to do with the amount of wine I drank :rolleyes: . The hot smoke salmon sounds great, but the potato salad would put me off as I might be too full for main/pudding! Aubergine is probably the lightest of the mains, and also they often make more effort with the veggie option.

Extra tasks list, as usual choose one or more

1. Clean windows in these rooms
2. Ring someone just to tell them you love them.. they are never here long enough - thanks for that, honey. I will give Mum a quick call this evening. She lives in South Africa now and we tend to keep in touch via email but it's so much nicer to hear her voice

Friday Flyday- Spare Room

Clear away anything that isn't in it's place (in my case, this means sort the laundry that has been bunged in here to be sorted ready for ironing :eek: )

Level Two
Vacuum the floor
Dusting.. all those shelves and flat fluffy surfaces!! Don’t forget the light shade and curtain pole!!!

Level Three
Clean 2 windows
Sort through a cupboard/chest of drawers and get the clothes out which are no longer wearable, too small or out of season!
Wipe any sticky marks off walls and doors

Extra Task List

1. Find 5 things to ebay/freecycle

3. BOOKS TO LIBRARY!!!!
