Flying gleefully into 2009 - One Fresians adventures in debt-busting

mooomin

Just wanted to pop in before bed and C&P the following from the Flylady thread - this is what I have done today:

Wednesday Wonders ~ Cruddy Study & Bathrooms
Level Two
Clean the bath, basins, shower trays and loo's
Degrot the desk and dust and polish the monitor and pc case etc Nope, bad Fresian

Extras

1. Empty and wash out bins
2. Clear and wipe a shelf or two

I have also:

• Done yet more blooming washing
• Done the kitchen. Twice.
• Bandaged t'other half when he was peeling the tatties and the tattie peeler sliced through his nail :eek:
• Changed cat litter
  
• Put away some washing
• Cleaned bathroom mirrors
• Done overtime at work before coming home
• Found new drawer for dusters as I now have so many clean dishcloths I need another drawer for dusters :rotfl:

Now, I have only done half an hour of overtime today and 45 minutes yesterday, but that will be over a tenner (before tax) to me anyway. Hopefully I will make it into work a little early tomorrow so I can do more overtime before I go out for dinner with my friend. I must remember to print off the voucher for Zizzi before I go - and I need to *ssh* do this at work as I don't have a working printer at home.

I am also thinking of doing a couple of hours overtime on Friday before I go on holiday as there are no guarantees that there will be overtime available when I come back, but I have a lot of housework, packing and other stuff to get done. Decisions, decisions!

I'm off to bed now anyway.

Night all

I had a look at the flylady thread the other day. I haven't signed up to it as i know i wouldn't keep up with posting. I am going to do some lists tho to keep me focused. After reading it i attacked my kitchen with vigour cleaning shelves and windows amongst other things. Talk about a motivating thread!!

Hope you have a good time with your friend tonight x

I signed up because I like to think that The People Of The Internet are watching me sternly when I promise to do something (ref: PAD, Weekly Spend Challenge, Grocery Challenge!!) I like a Challenge I do!

A lot of the lists don't always apply to me - I may be quite skanky for saying this, but I'm too useless to change bedding every week (Fortnightly is about as good as I get) and HATE hoovering, so ignore all requests to do this. That is what t'other half does The lists also ask you to wash your windows more often than I feel is normal :rotfl:

What I have found is that the thread is really motivating. My other half must think I have gone mad, but he's liking the newly shiny house we have. He wasn't allowed in the bathroom for hours yesterday as I had used so much Cillit Bang and he has a bit of a bleach allergy :rotfl:

Right, must dash and dust the living room before jumping in the shower to try and make it into work early to do some overtime. I bet I end up sitting on here for another hour and scrambling to get in on time

Have a good day!

lol FF I hate hoovering as well! Awful job! I find that I am more motivated than the b/f when it comes to housework - it works in my favour though because it means I get to do the jobs I don't mind, like ironing, washing up etc - then I am entitled to whinge at him to take the bins out and do the hoovering!!

Hope things are good with everyone here :-)

Hi pointy! :hello:

I have been trying to keep on top of the cleaning this week but failed due to doing loads of overtime. Not helped by t'other half it has to be said. I left him a list yesterday which consisted of - dishes (tiny amount) do some washing and phone the credit card folk. He did none of it :rotfl:

Today my plans for Flying consist of nothing more than a quick tidy before we go away tomorrow. I'm not going to miss the forums too much as I won't be around this weekend. I am hoping my friends have left us the password for their computer though as I don't want to miss any good MSE gossip!!

Hey FF hope you enjoy your little jolly! xxx

Evening all,

Not long now until the forums die :eek: so I thought I would put through a quick update before we are removed from MSE. Most of the threads I visit are instigating some kind of Facebook/forum contingency plan which is quite hilarious. T'other half is accusing me of being an MSE addict

I have had a looooooong day at work which was pretty pants tbh, but it's over now and I'M OFFICIALLY ON HOLIDAY YEEEEEEHAAAAA!!! We go Up North tomorrow for about a week, and I have left flatmate with instructions on how not to kill our cats. All should be well.

Have a lovely weekend everyone, and I will be on as soon as I can.
