Weekly Flylady Thread 30th March 2009

lil_me

egon, oh dear, hope you and your DH sort your differences soon
Pigpen, I'm still working on DP but if his brother definately comes down with us, maybe Tuesday if you're still up to it oh and ((hugs)) for me too, I don't care if it makes you cringe
Triker never just rains your way either does it!

Those off on holiday have a nice time (Mudbath and AnW'sMum included) we don't leave until Monday for Filey and I'm taking you all with me anyway well the laptop/mobile broadband/phone with internet.

Morning all, ever so misty today, I could barely see past 3 white lines on the road last night and it's not lifted much since, yuk! Soggy ankles now off walking the dog on the very wet grass.

Today is packing and blitzing the house day, thinking while I am sorting laundry I may aswell pack it. Doing it in 2 lots, one of which is for DP to bring back with him as he's coming home for work Thurs-Monday, saves taking clothes for 10 days as it's all weight with caravans. I think I need to do a packing list, because it's been a while since we went away and stuff we left in the van all season last year has been taken out (must clean oven pans, fridge shelves etc I took out) I am hoping to get the lawns cut before Monday too as it'll be overgrown badly before we get home if I don't. Must get mop-a-tops to the barbers too as their hair is getting long and messy. I think I need a list don't I?

Oh, the caravan shop phoned yesterday, they're hopefully getting us the new one sooner 2 weeks time so we should have it ready for May half term hols

Kids off to school they finish early today so their room will get done when they come home. Was planning to sort through their wardrobes and drawers today anyway so glad it's on the list. Auntie brought me some coathangers yesterday so that will help!

Have a lovely day all those taking part in the flylady meet.

I might manage over to the yahoo group I have never even looked at facebook, must get around to it one time.

Toots thanks for the Asda idea. Will get Auntie to nip in to the one at the top of her road with Piper today if she has time.

As Piper is at Aunties I am going to have a half hour soak in the bath as my me time with the lakeland catalouge, cross stitch and gardening mags. I never get a bath without someone wanting into the loo or Piper wanting to chat. Just waiting for the postman to come and go, I'm expecting a parcel, and then I'll have a soak.

Morning All

Will add my wishes to everyone going away, have a wonderful time & safe journey.

Froddy & Sexy I am not going to make it to the Southern meet, I really wanted to go but have to be sensible & know that I'm really not well enough, I left it to the last minute to decide hoping for a miracle (but you can all breathe a sigh of relief now!)........have a great time all of you, will be with you in spirit.....

Toots I hope it wasn't your toothache that had you up so early this morning?

I will be on FB over the weekend & think I have the yahoo group.....will check that out.

Will do a little flying now.........

Toots I have finished all the lists except the Living Room one which I am doing now - so four stars in total for me now please . I do find the stars motivating, I was just going to do the emergency stuff today but then it would be the first week I hadn't had five stars and I couldn't let that happen .

Still on target for everything that has to be done before 2pm :j . I even went and did my run straight from dropping the boys off. I appear to have been kidnapped by aliens, apart from the bit where I just hid the weeks ironing pile upstairs in case anyone is worrying.

I am still in Dressing gown :eek: Not like me but I know for the next two weeks, it`s busy.busy,busy with three kids at home :eek: Going to fly as soon as I`ve decluttered the coffee... Promise!!:rotfl:
