Weekly Flylady Thread 24th November 2008

SummerMoon

Wooohooo, my dad just dropped off the wardrobe for kids room so I can get finished in there tomorrow.
We are making progress, just need to borrow my dads drill to get various things put up on various walls.

Avonlea

I haven't got much flying done today but feel like I have been on the go all day:
Up at 6.45am
Got ds to school
Went through diary to check Xmas lists
Took dd to toddlers
Shoppingon way home from toddlers
Lunch
put WM and DW on
played and read with dd (she's pushed her nap into the school run car journey so that has taken an hour or so of time to get stuff done)
picked up ds
homework and reading with ds
tea, bath, bed for both children
finished 8.20pm

Looking at that list I have been busy but I haven't got many tasks done outside of what the children need. I know this is OK in principal but it can't happen everyday if we are going to have an organised home.

Gryfon, I like your 15 min on/off routine. I can imagine this working quite well with the children around (mine are 5 and 1 so need quite a lot of attention still). I can play with them etc during the 15 min off but still stay on track.

Wednesday - need to do

Tidy and vac children rooms
load cardboard into car for tip run - (tip run on the way to school pm)
make large batch bolognaise
phone number for hall hire (on the way back from school am)
SS bathroom and downstairs loo
get the laundry folded, ironed and put away
garden tidy up if weather OK (outdoor play for dd)

Will try to do at least stage 1 of wed list too.

Hi all, Zoey reporting in from her nice warm comfy couch lol.

Not done any flying today but I might have stated that some where else lol.

2moz if I can keep off the loo for 5 minutes, I hope to make a start on the kitchen and have a clean around the room to make sure its stay nice.

Been an ok day apart from the marriage to the toilet lol, mum paid for my hair to be done and it looks a lot better than it did.

That's all for now, as dnt think I will be on this couch for long, cry :-(

Gryfon

Avonlea...I just about manage to get my two interested for 15 minutes, it usually gets to about 12 mins and they're wondering how much longer My mind tends to drift when I'm doing it for any longer and thankfully lots of little 15s works better for me as I stay focused.

toochoosey

Gryfon OOOOWWWWWWW you made my sphincter clamp shut with that tale of three fingers!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Frodders I remember flooding the kitchen with bubbles when I put some fairy liquid in the DW!!!!! It was hilarious!

Sammy_Girl I always put my grill pan in the DW... and when it's done, I line it with silver foil. So it's never that bad now. HTH
