Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd June 2009

poohbear59

I had a day off from flying yesterday other than a bit of s and s so I thought I should try to do a bit of catch up today. My niece is arriving tomorrow from Australia so I need to spruce up the spare room.

I am off to do a HHC at 12.45 if anyone wants to join me!


toochoosey, at my weigh in on Thursday I had gained 2lbs!! So today I am trying to stick to SW exactly with no guessing as I know when I doit properly it works. How did you get on?

I'm getting there really slowly Toots. I vowed i wouldn't spend all weekend playing catch up again but something went wrong somewhere and i turned into a lazy mare around Weds/ thurs time.:o

toochoosey

just going to jump in the shower, poohbear59, I stayed the same, need to pull my finger out....in 12 weeks have lost 1 1/2 lb!!!!!

All my ironing is finished!!

I've also put another load in the WM. The clothes on the line aren't quite dry but I'll have to rewash some of them as DH has been using the pressure washer and there are specks of dirt on them.

Hi guys, no flying for me today because I'm in Scotland, up from Edinburgh, just waiting for the mist to rise and then off out on a journey.

Hope you're all having a great weekend, catch you all later.

I meant to post on here earlier but I think I forgot.....

Afternoon all

One load of washing done, dried and put away including DS's bedding (he went home yesterday )

General tidying round, S&S kitchen and bathroom, cooked lunch and that's all washed up and put away.

DH watching MotoGP. Boring.

Got to go and check on DD2's guinea pigs tonight because she's away on a hen weekend. Nothing on television as far as I can see so it will be nice to have an excuse to go out.

Toots, I got on with the hall instead, great minds thinking alike there. I know I will do the LR as I can't stand sitting in the mess.

Just stopped from the 11.10 HHC but the hall is now straight and clean even if it is still full of wood. The wood has to stay there as it is too heavy to go upstairs, and it will get ruined in the garage.

and the paperwork mountain in what was a clean DR:

Well done hex. You have achieved loads. Your hall is 50 times better than mine.

I just had a phone call from the carpet fitter saying he is coming the week after next so my sons have some serious clearing to do. Lego, scalextric etc is still in boxes under their beds and they are 19, 20 and 22!

toochoosey, well done on staying the same. I was hoping to stay the same but the steroids make me want to eat all the time! I am doubly determined this week. I get weighed at the hospital every Thursday so I have a few days still to try to lose.
