Weekly Flylady Thread 31st August 2009

Nothing done from the list yet but I have set up a sponsorship page for the walk I'm doing this weekend and sent out a link. I think I've added it to FB, but I'm not entirely sure

Suppose I should start doing something useful now!

serena

I was halfway through the bedroom when I came over all wobbly - so I'm having a quick break on here instead!

Rain has stopped and the sun's out - hope it stays there as DD has a barbecue planned for this evening.

DS1 out on driving lesson, and DS2 lying on the floor playing on the PS3. I'll declutter him in a minute I think.;)

:coffee::coffee::coffee:anyone? Then I'll do a bit more in the bedroom. Or I could list the pile of garden magazines on freecycle, which counts towards the bedroom, and means I can stay here??:cool:

Valli

I have packed the x box and taken it to the post office but I had to go to Morrisons for a box first....got a bag of 16 apples (and no bruises that I have spotted yet) Granny Smiths for 25p! Go a punnet of cherries for the same price too...and some bubble wrap;)

Valli's fly-with-a-blue-bottom list

(because it's wednesday and I've done nowt!)

make my bed
put aired washing away
iron next lot and air
kitchen
dining room

regroup and assess situation...

just having a :coffee:

BTWI'm happy to change avvies next week as per Dusty's suggestion ... they are somewhat confusing (I have red hair and freckles as do Zoe who share's my avvy but has a different picture, and this smurf. I also spotted her on Jinky's :eek: :rotfl:)

I've got a couple of bits of hand sewing to do

Oh yes that's something else to add to my list, need to sew up my pink bra so I can put my black/purple one in the wash

On the flying front I managed to get a chair stuck in my bedroom door (have to climb over it to get to bed)

That made me laugh, how on earth did you do that?

Valli, well done on getting a refund on the fishing set, that’s a good phrase for me to remember: not fit for purpose Grateful I will also remember your phrase: not of satisfactory quality

Soappie hugs for your DD and for you

Twilight well done on the progress you have made in your house and with your mental health, it’s good the doc thinks you are doing well. I saw my psychiatrist today, he wants me to work harder at going out and walking about outside on my own – I’m agoraphobic so find going outside really hard but he says if I don’t try to do it I’ll never make any progress. So that’s my goal to work on. If I can build up my confidence doing that, it should help the depression too. We’ll get there, we can all support each other, Jinky and FFP too

Jinky hope your gran is ok, does she have a dosset box for her pills? The pharmacist or a relative can do them so that all her tablets for the day are in the same place and then it’s easy to see what to take on Monday morning, or Tuesday evening or whatever. Also it makes it easier for rellies to see if some tablets have been missed…HTH

Dusty, I tried so hard to get a smurf avatar but MSE wouldn’t let me do it, it kept saying invalid file but I really want to get one, sleepy smurf or greedy smurf

Flying: have decluttered a go ahead bar, going to do some tidying up for a bit

Have a lovely day L-L

Bird-proofing is being done tomorrow morning... should I be relieved or worried that he can fit it in at such short notice

Well, I expect he is relieved, people just can't seem to get things done anymore, so I bet he was happy to get your phonecall! DH is finding work is drying up, he's got some work but he's not as busy as he'd like to be. People can't afford "extras" like getting their hedge cut, it's sad. Hope your man who is coming to sort your birds out has enough work but doesn't sound like it if he's able to come so quickly

Hi ladies i am a newbie to flying have just discovered her wondrous site and have really enjoyed putting together my contorl journal, hwever as usual i am procrastinating and insted of ding things i am writing and thinking about them!

I have however implemented the morning and before bed routine and am loving having a clean sink and bathroom everyday and not worrying about answering the door in my pj's!!!!

My bedroom however, is such a tip i want to cry everytime i go in there and can't even see where to start!!!

It doesn't help that it is my sisters wedding on sat and she told me yesterday she likes neither of the childrens outfits which meant running round town frantically yesterday and having to do the same today.

I am also walking round not in lace up shoes but extremely high heels trying to 'learn' how to walk in my bridesmaid shoes!!!!

So hello ladies i look forward to reading your pears of wisdom.#Love lucy xxx

Good job it's just at the top of my street as the bags are getting bigger! (Jinkys brain doing overtime now!)

Morning all. Had a lovely rest this morning, DH got home at midnight last night after getting a puncture. RAC took two hours to get to him, so the lemon sole I spent all afternoon preparing spoiled of course which was a bit upsetting. DH says I've been stressed out this past week so he made me breakfast in bed which was lovely.

Gonna start the housework soon.

Haha, I wish! They're both bridesmaid dresses that I've never worn since the weddings, been stashing them but I'm never gonna wear them so it's time to get rid of them.
