    For those who don't know, ORF is short for Operation Red Fiart. Apparantly a red fiat has been parking on my drive on a Thursday. Without my permission. I do not know anyone with a red fiat (unless the gardener has changed his car but I only ever see him on a bike).

    ORF was a silly phase in the Flylady lives. Look through the weekly flylady thread starting around 20th Feb 2008 and onto beginning of March. But it was great fun! I ended up buying a network camera and various flyladies logged in and watched my drive for me.

    Never did find the perp...

    Thank you, soappie - that all now makes complete sense :T Good job I wasn't posting here then, as it looks like I would have had to delete loads of off-topic posts :p:p:p

    I did this room on Wednesday in order to get ahead:j:j
    Toots please may I have a Friday Star

    This morning I'm still plowing through the room of doom. I'm not actually decluttering much as that is too time consuming and time is what i've not got. This room has to be presentable by lunchtime when my DSis is due to arrive. All paperwork is going into an empty suitcase to be sorted 1/2 hour at a time over the next few days, and all my sewing has been tidily placed on the bed in the small bedroom/office until it can be put back in the room of doom which actually is my craft room. I now can see the floor in there so progress has been made.

    Must go and have some breakfast and get started.

    Mozzy She provides everything and I do keep telling her to get a mop she's just forgetful (Doctor so very busy) For a year I've been using one of those Flash mop pad things and it snapped 2 weeks ago because she didn't get me any pads or the spray so had to use a wet cloth hanging (for dear life) to the bottom of it, I left it broken in two last week so fingers crossed she's remembered to buy a new one, I wish she'd just buy a proper stringy mop and a bucket, much easier.

    Done a few bits..

    make beds
    S&S kitchen

    empty DW
    reload DW (dishes in sink at the mo)
    tidy living room
    sort tea

    dry washing
    hoover through
    mop kitchen floor (things were spilt)
    take clean washing upstairs
    make sarnie for work
    housekey for work

    littley pick-up from dancing
    littley drop off at nanas
    sort fridge
    take pile of books upstairs
    recycling

    local shop for bits
    pack shower bag
    Go to OH's for power shower (bliss)
  • Hi all, just thought I would pop in before my day off with DW. I did most of todays list yesterday but there's just one of the extras I'll have to later tonight.... damn filing :mad:. However that does mean.......
    :j:T:jIt's my first week and I have all my stars :j:T:j
    My house hasn't looked this tidy in ages. I still have a long way to go....lots more hotspots, cupboards to tidy etc but at least it's a start. Having the basics sorted should help me do the rest (....crosses fingers!)
