Weekly Flylady Thread 13th July 2009

Swinstie73

Hi All,

Slept in this morning and had a stonker of a headache but it's gone now! Managed to do a quick tidy before I left for work but nothing major!

I was inspired by Toots poem the other day, and by the fact my house is looking great because of everyone here. I have done a wee poem for The Flylady Crew (only could do a couple of mentions for the founders)!

Hope this works, it's a Word doc! Damnation it's not letting me attach it!

Ode to The Flylady Crew

There’s Pigpen, Toots and Soappie too
Our very own MSE Flylady Crew!

They post up our chores and tasks to be done
Count up the many stars that we have all won!

They give us our mission each day of the week
The Flylady Thread is no place for the meek!

The kitchen, livingroom, hall and the stairs
Are polished and buffed within a breadth of our hair’s!

The bathroom, the loo and the cruddy study
Are rooms disliked by almost everybody!

But they have to be done, along with the landing
Just think of those Flyladies, all working in tandem!

And finally we come to the Bedrooms of Doom
Almost finished, now where is that broom!

Thank You Flylady Crew for all your hard work
For helping your followers with the dreaded housework!

There was a wee picture and a border but the Word doc wouldn't attach!

Swinstie that is BRILLIANT I reckon it needs to be tacked onto one of the opening posts each week.

Well stand by girls............................

I have hung the washing out! :rotfl: Dad put up a washing line for me last week and I have hung the last load out this morning I used wooden pegs so in theory they all match BUT there were at least 2 different sizes of pegs on there so not sure, but I was chuckling away to myself. Have hung the socks in pairs, does that make me OCD?!?!?

Also started moving stuff off the stairs and generally reclaiming the house!

I have managed to cross off no. 1 on my list and have hung out 4 loads of washing. It is warm and blowy here but quite grey too so I will be keeping an eye on the clouds.

As I have been a busy little pooh today I have not read through your posts so massive hugs to anyone who needs them. Maybe back later, off to clear desk now.

Living room and hall finished toots!!

Swinstie - I agree thats Fab!!!!! Well done you!!!

That should be in the opening posts, I agree AnWs Mum!! Well done you honey on doing so well with the house!! I really hope you claim it all back soon - your doing so so well!! How are you getting on with the book?? xx

I have also started hanging socks up in pairs - Thanks to Valli! I hate pairing them up and she mentioned it ages ago and I started doing it cos them I match them up straight away when they come off the line and job done!!

Although, I think she has had a profound effect and I am now seriously concerned about myself after the matching peg mystery!! Still no one has owned up so it must have been me!!

I have transferred my savings and booked airport parking - also phoned up to have the windows outside done as some big bird has pooped on the upstairs bedroom windows which cant be cleaned from the inside. :rolleyes:

Shes gonna check when they are on my round next and ring me back

Off to see what else I can manage off my list from work..... :rotfl:
