Weekly Flylady Thread 19th October 2009

I'm in again this week....

Thanks Pigpen for the lists and thanks Soappie and Toots for the stars.

Haven't managed much this week end, DS1 has been sick and didn't manage to make it to the toilet but carpets been scrubbed now. DS2 still very sleeping and pale, hasn't eaten very much all weekend. So looks like two will be off school tomorrow.

Good news is 8 items sold on ebay.:j I've relisted everything else and will add more this week.

*Question*
My bedroom is full of paper work and i was thinking of scanning the lot and putting it onto the laptop. Does anyone else do this?
I've took the paper work down as far as i can so thought this would be the best thing to do as i've no room nor money for a filing cabinet. Plus it would free up some floor space in the bedroom.
What do you think would work best?

Right school uniform nearly dry, so i'm gonna get something to eat and head to bed. See you all in the morning.

catch ups from old thread...

3tabbycats sounds like a lovely my kind of day - I envy you your wood burner!!!
dusty sounds good idea - will it help with storage now that you have it floored - at least it is tidy now too.
hex the reclaimed stripped door sounds great - a lot of work but well worth it I am sure.
pigpen WTG with the decorating :T:T hope you are keeping up with your uni work too??? we dont want you getting behind with assignments like last term!!!
doodledo welcome back - and congratulations on becoming debt free:T:T:T:T
rosieben well done with the furniture - I wouldnt have the patience i dont think!
AuntyCrafty I am saying nothing...... about the shoes or the revision:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Mudbath I am glad Ds is still at home but its hard on you all - like the others have said it may be just all the meds and will take time to settle done -fingers crossed for pain free sleep for him and you all (((hugs)))
sexy you have had a very productive day angel - but it should be more time for you - hope you have a good week xx
Valli thats terrible honey - what a waste (((hugs)))

and this week's ........

froddy hang on in there honey - you can do it (((hugs)))
rach hope the doc helps - painful sinuses are really not nice to have (((hugs)))
fedupand skint (((hugs))) its never easy when the other party has made their decision - if he is not swaying in the slightest then i think you have to accect that his decision is final - and hard as it feels you will have to accept it honey and start thinking of yourself. You can move on too- it maybe wont feel that way for now but you will get there.
serena hope your cold doesnt develop into anything nasty xx
alwaysthebusybee you have the right idea - start by trying to do level 1 everyday for at least this week and see how you get on - if you can manage any other little jobs of the list then thats a bonus
MissHiggerty thats lovely - it really nice when the rest of the household notice and appreciate your hard work - well done you deserved it for tackling the spiders!!!:rotfl:
Ishtar - how lovely and exciting and nerve wracking too I expect!! (((hugs))) hope it goes well
Jinky nice to see you back honey xx

xxJoXX where are you honey - didnt see you last week??

SS supergirl are you ok babes

polly and natty you are confusing me with your new (but lovely) avatars!!

lady Liberty you have not been on much today- I am afraid i will be hard on you honey - you have to have 7 putty tats each week!!!!!

I got my new curtain pole today so hoping we will have time to put that up in the LR tomorrow - the cleaner managed to put up my new voiles and they loook great. My LR is nearly there.

ok I am off to add newbies to the stars list then to bed

I may not be on tomorrow - so do not panic!!!! MY lovely cousin and her hubby will be arriving late morning and we have garden and house things to do and then we are going out for tea - I may be too stuffed and too tired when i get home!
And then its macMillan on tuesday - but I will be around when I can

love and hugs to everyone and I hope you all have a great week

DD2 room update..

Ceiling painted and door undercoated.. both sides..

Roller, brush and tray washed and ready for another day!

Tomorrow I must get the proper wallpaper on.. measure for carpet (preferably purple but grey will suffice) it isn't big so I should ba able to get an offcut.. 2mx2.8m I think. I also need to sort what colour the skirting will be.. door is to be white.. I hate white skirting so it will probably be either silver or purple.

I need to locate her some new bedding.

Listy-list... if it ain't here it is done already!

Monday ~ Master Bedroom
Level One
Declutter the floors
Level Two
vacuum the floors
Level Three
Tidy a box of 'stuff'
Tidy up the floordrobe

Extras

1. Binbag dance .. done several but another won't go amiss!

Toots.. I can't get behind as I haven't been in for a week.. and depending on when my docs appointment is tomorrow I may be missing tomorrow too... I'm regularly bleeding through clothing so daren't go anywhere for too long let alone 4 hours sat in a lecture theatre.
Who was on about memory foam mattress toppers?

I just got one with my new bed.. it is DIVINE.. my hips are a little better but my left knee is still really sore.. I am hoping it eases after a bit more use.. it is also very warm.

MrsChaos

Good evening all :wave:

I've updated last week's list - didn't get quite as much done as I'd hoped, but that's ok.

Mooooooooooooonday ~ Kitchen
Level One
Declutter and wipe the worksurfaces.. and sink.. polish those taps!
Level Three
Clean out the fridge..


Friday ~ Bathroom
Level One
declutter floors
Level Three
Wash bathmat

I also provided taxi services, done lots of washing, DW every day, shopping yesterday and today (groceries, new trainers and PJs for DS2), changed all bedding today - just ours to make so we can hop in. Also decluttered exchange student this morning - phew!

I'll have to focus on each day's list this week, since I'm going away next weekend :j. What isn't done by Friday morning won't get done. Had hoped for a star tomorrow, but got no chance with the bedroom. Too many boxes and stuff to sift through. It was lovely and tidy before I had to bring all my stuff down from the loft. I'm contemplating buying one of those incinerators for the garden, as my little shredder can't face the mountain of accumulated paperwork.

Here's the plan for tomorrow:

Monday ~ Master Bedroom/study
Level One
Declutter the floors - not a chance!
Strip the bedding get it washed dried and the bed remade! - done
Level Two
vacuum the floors
Straighten a cupboard of clothing - for this, read: put all clean and dry laundry away, which is all over the house
Empty all the bins upstairs
Level Three
Tidy up the floordrobe, inc. shoes bags and toiletries.
Extras
Check doors and windows for draughts and make a plan of action for dealing with them

My list for tomorrow:
make lunch x2
research/order air mattress for next weekend
WM x2
DW x1
dry/put away clothes
tell DS1 that last day for washing clothes he wants to take is Wednesday morning (must keep an eye on DS2's clothes, too)
check bank balance
start spending record book

:xmastree: welcome to our lovely thread and no.1 madhouse pinkbrick and Mumto5.
I have sent you a pm to help you along - we will do all we can to help you get organised.

Dustykitten

Welcome newbies, good luck, remember doing the odd 10 minutes here and there will start to make a difference over time.

Ironing all done (board and iron put away)
DW emptied
WM emptied and reloaded
LR tidied

Just going to put the kettle on for my hotwater bottle and then head up.

Fedup - I'm sorry things have not gone how you wanted them to. Maybe in time you will come to accept that things were just not right for your OH. At least you know where you stand now, you must feel drained for this has been going on for sometime.

serena - that sure was some defeat! Glad the shrub has gone, what are you replacing it with?

G&B and Mudders - hope both of your LOs are improving x

MrsChaos

I was so wrapped up in planning that I forgot my manners. Thanks pigpen, toots and soappie for lists etc.

Hope everyone has a good week and hugs to anyone in need. I won't keep up with the thread, but plan to post progress every night until Thursday/Friday morning. After that, I'll see you on the new thread next Sunday night. If it's important, please pm me and I'll get back to you.

Good night, all.

Mudbath

Welcome to the newbies.

My efforts will be limited this week as I still have poorly littlie - he's still awake now and in a lot of pain so it's definitely back to hospital tomorrow. I'm hoping it is a combination of medications etc but who knows. All I know is that none of us can continue staying awake until two or three every morning. He's tired...we're all tired.

So, i'll do what I can this week.

Hugs to everyone xxxxx
