Weekly Flylady Thread 17th August 2009

kazmeister

Hi ladies,

Sorry had every intention of flying this week but it just didnt happen.

Hope you are all well and coping with whatever gets thrown at you. Hugs and congratulations to all those that need them where appropriate.

The packing is just about finished, just paperwork to check then we're off for an early start tomorrow - fly 630am. Busy day Monday tying up loose ends, chill out day Tuesday then the big day on Wednesday.

Will be back to update you all when we return on 2 September. and I shall expect plenty of butt kicking to get this place back to the palace it should be.

Love Kaz x

*drumroll*

I have washed my way through the 20 loads of laundry on the kitchen floor... there were actually 21.. but I did do some fromthe basket that was already there and I did take out some bits I refuse to do!

I have need of a binbag as I have a pile of stuff for charity shop and another carrier full for nursery when they go back (16 days of horrorday left!!)

Off to get them all into bed... they have been playing nicely for a change and SD1 eventually turned up to collect Jacob.. we had had an hours play then he went to sleep for 2.5 hours lol.. after having his stinky nappy changed of course.. and DS1 finally left about 7pm... after a hair cut and a shower!!

glad to know I am useful!

Anyway, as I had the shears out I minced DS2 and DS3 as well so they are not happy... but they look so much tidier!!

I lopped a whopping 8inches off DD2's hair last night and continued operation deflea this afternoon.. the little blighters were not done in by the full marks so we are back to the trusty old nitty gritty combing until it is back to school.. She is the only hoppy one at the moment so I am desperately trying to prevent them spreading to the littlies.. one of those gets them and all 3 have them!

Back soon..

Hello everyone.
Well I have sat and read through the thread while waiting for the Killers to come on at V Festival. No flying for me today as been tired.....ended up having an afternoon nap today. My Uncle turned up on the island for the day on Friday and had a nice time with him, despite sore back I tried to entertain him (house in the morning but took him out a wee run around in the afternoon).
Thankfully, due to strict flying earlier in the week, the house still looks ok.
Hope all are doing ok and will be back in for next weeks list.
