Goals for this week include gently persuading OH to complete his tax return and cashing my change piggy in so I can buy some wardrobe doors for my dressing room.

Sure I'll think of more..

DRESSING ROOM DOORS........!? Oh how the other half live :rotfl:
Only kidding wish I had enough space for the doors never mind the dressing room

Good evening everyone. I am back being a flylady this week. I haven't been able to keep up with the lists or the thread but I haven't been idle. The whole house had to be turned upside down and round about as we had a mass invasion of fleas:eek::eek:. The cats had been treated but it obviously hadn't worked and wasn't helped by DH leaving the hall door open when we went on holiday allowing the cats full acccess to the whole of the house. Neighbour who was looking after them thought it was meant to be open; so left it open. The cats have now been treated again with different stuff and the house sprayed with very expensive antiflea stuff. The joys of keeping house pets.

thank you Pigpen and Toots for the lists and stars.

Hi

does anyone know of a website like flylady that isn't far too americanised as i like the idea of doing a little bit each day but i just don't like how american flylady seems!

also does anyone know of any free printable housework charts - either that tell you what to do or that you can make your own schedule in

many thanks
adele

Hiya

Thank you for putting the kitchen first, I did a huge clean there yesterday so tomorrow should be relatively easy.

Now my 5................

1. letter to OR (from last week)
2. At least 1 walk after work (from last week)
3. Enjoy my day off tomorrow and not feel guitly about sitting on my bum relaxing!!!!
4. Re-do nail polish on my finger and toe nails.............from vivid red to possibly grey. Or blue.
5. Make appt to see dr.

I hope to be on here a bit more this week as I feel I am "missing out" when you all type messages of support, as I am very grateful for the messages I read but do feel more of a lurker/outsider.
Did any of that make sense?

Vanilla I am sure your ring will turn up - I lost mine once and it turned up in a box in the medicine cupboard.I had some tablets on the side along with my ring, swept everything into a box and put it all away.

Night all

Polly is there no job that you have been putting off for ages?

• like cleaning out a cupboard that you hate
• or sorting through paperwork or purging your files
• do you have a craft project that needs starting or finishing
• have you any mending
• have you a book that you have been putting off starting
• what about writing up your christmas card list or your present list
• or the birthday cards and presents you need to get by the end of the year
• have you gone through and made sure you have postcodes on all your addresses
• have you cleaned and sorted all your jewellery
• have you taken cuttings or thought about what cuttings you need

hope something on this list gives you an idea


ok I am going to sign off - go read the news and have a cuppa and then bed!
will see you at some point tomorrow
sleep well everyone
hope all the poorlies feel better tomorrow
love and hugs
