Weekly Flylady Thread 10th November 2008

Michelle - another one saying just wait till he is ready. I should ait till the summer when he can do no pants at all. DS 1 was nearly 4, so was DS2. I did try earlier but just upset the child and myself. I think you have enough on your plate without this as well. Hope I haven't offended you - I mean well!

Tag, you seem to have inspired Mr. H. He fitted two new doors, attempted to fix the elctric window on the old car and installed my dovecote that he made for valentines day yesterday, and has knocked out the old stud wall from our bedroom today. He is currently cutting up the resulting timber to burn whilst I tidy up. I am to purchase both new bathrooms today (using the untouchable isa savings!) so we can get them in before we start building the stud walls for the new en suite and bathroom next week. Don't get me wrong, very appreciative but he is usually quite understandably exhausted at weekends. I want some of whatever they are on please!

G n B - thanks for letting us know how your DD is. I appreciate it is very low on your priorities but lots of us hoping that you and your little one are ok. Big hugs for all of you.

Quidco Chrimbo Bingo - teams of 4 this year. PM me if you want to set up a flylady team, I have a range of stuff to order that Ihave been holding off on. Looks a lot less interesting this year thoguh.

I hope this has worked. If it has, then these are pictures of the bedroom that DD is moving out of. As you can see far too much stuff and not enough room.:rolleyes:

Even though I tried to whittle it all down after we had decorated it only 3 months ish ago. It doesn't matter what I do it just won't all fit. And, we have her birthday and Christmas to contend with yet as well.:eek:

TAG

Woohoo I did it I did it:j:j:j

Flower your instructions were brilliant. Thank you:T

Actually the only reason you can see the floor is because DD was at Nanny's yesterday when these were taken.;)

Plus you can't see properly the two bread boxes under her bed. One is full with dolly stuff the other jigsaws and games. Plus two other boxes under there full of dressing up stuff, bratz dolls, and bits that I have no where to put. And a great big cushion.

And you can't see the state of the big cupboard properly either. Believe me it is not tidy.

Love the pix Tag - thankyou! Anymore?

I've had a mostly lazy day which is a bit naughty - but hey, we're allowed them sometimes. Ended up soaking in the bath for about an hour reading a book - came out like a wrinkled prune. Then made brunch and read some more. Did get to the dump but the world and his wife seemed to be visiting at the same time. Took about 5 minutes to get in. Our dump is really peculiar and tight - you have to take some form of identification to show you live in the council area before you're let in, this all slows entry down. But, a very nice, very large dump worker got the machine out the car for me no trouble. The blanket it was on is now in the new washer!

Now about to contemplate getting a roast dinner sorted.

Way to go Mr H. :T Really don't know what has come over Mr Tag. I can only hope it lasts. If it does .............the kitchen could do with a lick of paint;):rotfl:

I'll stick some up of DS bedroom after [STRIKE]lunch[/STRIKE], I mean tea. Gosh didn't realise the time. The one that DD will be moving into. Not much to see there though really as it was all white and didn't actually have much in it.
