Weekly Flylady Thread 5th October 2009

pigpen

I got a threatening letter from the benefits freaks.. saying if I didn't go to one of their stupid interview things they'd stop my money.... I don't get any!!!!!!! dUH!!!!!

I bought 3 books for uni then had to get OH to come pick me up as I was unable to carry them home.. I couldn't even manage to get them to the car without stopping several times and I almost killed myself standing in the queue to pay.. the worst part is I have another couple I need to get but I'll get those tomorrow after a quick scan through the recommended texts in the library. I HAD to buy them too because I have to read a whole chapter before Monday..

'Tis piddling with rain here and absolutely freezing.. it is, as usual, colder in my house than it is outside. I have washing to fling in the dryer and I am NOT cooking dinner they can all buzz off.. I'm going to sleep.

Today as far as flying goes I have put out the wheelie bin.. and brought it in again.

I have a few christmas bits arrived and I have need to purchase some more bits for the bigger ones.. I have very little for the boys.. and I have temporarily forgotten what I was buying DS2.. I need to get them books.

I need to go round the house closing curtains I think.. oops... I still forgot to buy hay for the hoppeties!!!

Going to bed for an hour.. then I'll do the list!

My first every star please Toots! x


Think I'm addicted to cleaning - is that possible? I broke into a cold sweat at work when I couldn't remember whether or not I'd S&S'd the bathroom before I'd left the house this morning!

Finding myself wandering room to room and opening cupboards that I've decluttered with a big smile on my face!!!!

I've been following the thread on and off for a few months but have decided that posting might be the kick up the backside that I need !!

Have completed Mondays list (with help of DD aged 2 !!). Kids are now in bed and DH is away tonight so will crack on with todays and get some ironing done too.

List to do -

Tuesday list -Kitchen / Diner
Ironing - do all of the kids bit, will crack on with ours tomorrow.
Sit and have a cup of tea, then get to bed !! Was up early with DS (4 months) this morning, so need some sleep.

Welcome aboard MummyEm - here's a Christmas tree for you :xmastree:

I'm tired again this evening. Almost nodding off but can't go to bed just yet.

I think I'm on tenterhooks because tomorrow is the day the kids are supposed to complete.

Any successful completion vibes that are out there would be terrific please!

Lots of vibes for you and DS/DIL Soappie. I still remember how stressed I was on this place and we are coming up for three years at Christmas. Ours didn't complete till 4pm :eek: a couple of days before Christmas. Our solicitor had to leave at 4pm for his holiday flight and it happened at the last possible minute which was a bit grim for all concerned.

Still not a huge amount done. Home all day tomorrow for delivery of the new memory foam mattress for DHs back and writing this TUPE article so i should catch up with the lists
