Weekly Flylady Thread 20th July 2009

Valli

I think I will feel a LOT better if I post what I have achieved. Should I level 3 a whole room I'll put a star claim in. No hearts for me of course.

Teacher alert
ooh teachers who buy their own motivational stickers (that'll be most of them then:rolleyes:) W H Smiths have got their £5.99 packs of 180 reduced to £1.49 and they have football shirt style ones. So two packs for me, then!

Back to flying - I have

put away one maidenful of aired, ironed clothes
ironed another maidenful
defragged computer
emptied freezer - it's nearly defrosted
washed all cutlery drawer contents, cutlery tray and drawer itself (mate coming round for takeaway tonight and you know what they're like for collecting crumbs)
cleaned out microwave with frozen lemon slices in cup of water to steam first
mended DS's trouser hem as I ironed

the basic plan is to clean (today)

bathroom
kitchen
living room
and to de-hotspot dining room

(ooh sellotape wheel that goes through tape found by DD wedged up under the fire but she KNEW where to look:rolleyes:)

kids at their dads - first time DS has been for a month!:eek:
he WILL be pleased when he gets home - a French summer holiday homework assignement has arrived (which I could do in 5 minutes :rolleyes::rolleyes: and I think he could, too:cool:)

Hi! Just thought I'd better show my face, sorry not been around much the last couple of days, I've been a bit busy.

Am having a nice relaxing afternoon this afternoon, we went out this morning but it was very tiring and I started feeling quite ill again so we came home and I got straight into bed. Am feeling better now after a good sleep.

Not really done any flying apart from sorting the car out yesterday - I need to organise DH as he is supposed to be dealing with all the stuff that was in the car but he's just sitting there watching athletics. I might have to do some chivvying later but I'll leave him alone for a bit longer! He's been quite sweet today and I've been a bad tempered old bag, so I feel a bit ashamed of myself. I did apologise earlier and he came and gave me a kiss which is nice as normally he only kisses me if he's going out somewhere. I'm going to try to be a nice person this afternoon!

Hope everyone's ok, just going to catch up with the thread for a bit

Valli

It is sorted.. he pays the loan (£270) (I pay the overdraft.. £167) and £100 a week for the children.. there are 7 of them so it isn't a huge amount between them.. but anything at the moment other than the nothing I am getting would be good.

though I think maintaining a relationship with the children should be a priority over the money.. or maybe it is just me that puts them first in everything.

You'll have to grit your teeth and keep the moral high ground, its the only way to come out of it not exactly intact, but at least less battered.

Hoping he sorts himself out.


Have done HHI and cleared up puppy poo again, he was supposed to go home today, but beginning to suspect his owners have left the country!

By the way has anyone else noticed how the exclamation mark button jumps to where the thanks button was when you thank someone? May be a lot of accidental reportings?!
