Weekly Flylady Thread 5th January 2009

newlifeahead

Last post before bedtime.

I have sorted out the kids school uniform for tomorrow so I am now all set for the morning. I am normally rushing around and can never find anything so I will see how it goes.

Going to sleep now, but I am very tempted to start tomorrow list...(no..no..no..go to bed..)

Night everyone.:D

We may complain but they can be useful...mine's just gone to get me a medicinal Baileys to help the sorethroat. I don't want one but it will help me! :rolleyes: xx

OK, read mega chunks of this thread and did loads of thanks but just on this thread, not old posts.

Big hugs to all who need them

Got more done than I was expecting today because dd went to her friends house after nursery then onto rainbows from there then friends dad rang to say he would bring her back home so I didn’t need to leave the house after I got in from work.

Everything is ready for back to school x 3 tomorrow. That feels so good!:j

Tuesday - tinklings
Level One
[strike]Clear and wipe kitchen worksurfaces
[/strike]Sweep the floor! Needed it but may get done tomorrow
Level Two
Mop the floor As above
[strike]Wipe the table [/strike]and dining chairs These are a bit of a nightmare for me. They are in a right state. Pine chairs that are really grimy - YUK, YUK, YUK. I got one done:j
[strike]Muck out the fridge
[/strike]Level Three
Empty the under the sink cupboard.. give it a wipe out and put back neatly the things you NEED.. get rid of or rehome the rest! Everything was ok in there!
Throw out any chipped mugs.. the porous pottery harbours bacteria.. YUK!! There is one plate I really should get rid of - it had cracked in two and dh had glued it back together, looked for it tonight but could not find it - hey ho!
[strike]S&S over all the unit fronts and appliances!
[/strike]Extras

1. Wash the windows and sills Have patio doors, a job too far for me tonight:D
2. Clean out the microwave Didn't look in it - it might be ok:D or it might not:eek:
3. Fill a binbag with rubbish and get rid! Didn't manage this!
4. [strike]
   
5. Catch up on important phone calls... if you do it now you have time to chase the follow up calls later in the week!
6. [/strike]

It was lucky I did the phone call - it was to book the place my youngest has chosen for his birthday party only to discover they will be closed that weekend due to maintenance:eek: Will need to convince him he wants to go some where else:D

Speaking of birthdays January is my manic month - dh, twins and youngest all have birthdays, dh - 24th, twins - 28th, ds - 29th:eek: :eek: This year the kids parties will be on the same day and day after dhs birthday but I'm sure we will get through it and the kids will have a great time. Sadly the anniversary of my Mums death is also the 25th so I have a lot to deal with that week

Anyway - I'm really enjoying being a proper part of this Flylady thing rather than just printing out the lists and lurking:D Maybe in a couple of weeks I might start to rememeber peoples names and stuff:D

Well likklegibbon I couldn't go without hearing your plea and have found a few more unthanked posts for you. (Only one left to find now til you're up-to-date.)I'm afraid that'll have to do for tonight though as my head really is hurting and it's getting late now. OH has been asleep for hours now.

Night all and sweet dreams.

Well maybe if it's REALLY clean, he won't want to stay? What are you doing to try to get rid of him? Best bet for trap bait is chocolate... just as long as you make sure you have some spare for yourself in case of any major chocolate cravings, or it could be dangerous :rotfl:

Well, the kitchen took a lot longer than anticipated, but I got there. Have bathed, pampered, caught up on thread and am now going to sleep... after having a look at tomorrows list.

Night all!!!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. Had a great evening out, but came home earlyish (left Windsor at 9.30) due to the weather.

Sending safe journey vibes to everyone who is travelling over the next few days. I've changed my route to work so I'm using the main roads, as the ones I normally use won't be salted. I've also cancelled my early gym appointment tomorrow and have moved it to Monday afternoons until the weather improves.

Pigpen - hope you still have a live 6 year old

rach - (((hugs))) You can do it. Commuting is tough (I find my drive hard enough), but remember, at least you can get some reading done! And Dusty's right, dieting can make you feel down.

soappie - did you get my email?

JillD - I won't join your weight loss challenge, as I don't weigh myself (too scared :eek: ), but it's a great idea, and if you're interested in doing some walking, let me know. I may be working in Reading occasionally for the next few months...

I have still done no flying this week, BUT my parents have left the house nice and clean and tidy ... I should be able to get away with doing the minimum this week (which is lucky, as it'll all have to be done tomorrow evening) and still have things looking OK at the weekend.

I do need to get some paperwork done for work though, as I've just been asked to justify some of my end of year grades for my team, and still need to do my 'I need lots of money for 2009, sorry its short notice but you don't have a choice' paperwork ... the money's been agreed in principle, but I still have to jump through the hoops to get it formalised :rolleyes:

Good to see so many new flyladies doing so well... and putting the rest of us to shame.

And OJ... can you slow down please? You're setting a bad example - it's supposed to look like hard work :rotfl:

Finally... I HAVE MORE B&Q DISCOUNT VOUCHERS!!! PM me your address if you need them... they run until Jan 18th
