Weekly Flylady Thread 2nd November 2009

Ishtar

Morning all
Hope everyone is doing OK? I've been too busy to really keep on top of the thread, so big hugs to anyone who needs them. Things here good, although have been up in the night with a baby who wanted to play from 3.30am. Soon have to put a stop to that!

Yesterday, along with entertaining my sister and nephew, I did some of the following:

Tuesday ~ Living room, Hall and Stairs
Level One
[STRIKE]Declutter the floors
Vacuum said decluttered floors![/STRIKE]
Level Two
[STRIKE]declutter and dust the mantle putting back only what should be there[/STRIKE] Not the mantle, but the grotty sideboard where the loudest budgie in western civilisation lives.
Wipe the sofas if needed Not needed
Wipe and water plants, dust and deweb No plants in living room.
Level Three
Wash any soft furnishings that are in need
[STRIKE]Clear and wipe window sills, and any electricals and picture frames etc[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Empty and clear out a cupboard or drawer.. [/STRIKE] Ongoing process of removing loads of DDs 'treasures' (ie. cut up bits from magazines, broken toys, small bits of ribbon - you get the idea)
Extras [STRIKE]Write a christmas list.. whether it be cards or presents or just food shopping..
Tidy the mountain of coats bags ad shoes!
[/STRIKE]

1. binbag dance
2. Wash any windows that have been neglected

I also did HHI, knitted some more of DDs jacket, 3 x loads of washing (with nowhere to dry them :rolleyes:) and generally kept on top of the hotspots.

Haven't looked at today's list, but will, and in addition I have to drop some parcels off at the post office and then hike to the other side of town to buy some bits in Tesco (nappies, loo rolls and deodourant for OH).

Hope everyone has a good day
Take care
D

I think there are several more people I will now put on ignore. That thing at the end of December - we really don't need to talk about it NOW! Bah Humbug!

I'd like to do that, but BGs aren't allowed to ignore people Jinky - do you mind if I change my avatar to one like yours :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Pointless gesture, but it'll make me feel soooooooooo much better :T

But Penny, Oh the irony of Jinky's avatar - I can't look at it because even though it's the prohibited sign, it STILL reminds me of that event! I wish there was a house rule where it can't be talked about until Dec 1st....

Morning everyone

There's a bit of sunshine this morning. Let's hope it stays there!

all so much for the positive thoughts and prayers for Tris yesterday. The op seemed to go Ok and he logged on to messenger and we chatted a while - was going to ring but said he was being ill and bringing up blood and then about 10 mins later it went quiet and someone typed to tell me he had passed out. Long story short he ended up having a seizure and then back into theatre for emergency surgery. He is stable now and in their version of intensive care. I do appreciate all your support for him.

Am going to gather a load for the washing machine to hang out before I go to work. The forecast says it's not going to rain..

Morning everyone,
Well after saying I was joining in again a few weeks ago, I failed miserably. I even joined the 'real' flylady in the hope that would give me the kick I need, but, no, I'm most definately in lazy cow mode.
So, I'm jumping in where we are today as well as trying to get back into doing my dailies.
I've been giving the 'write everything down and clear your mind' thing. I don't know how successful its going to be but my list of 'stuff' is growing by the minute!

I hope you guys are all well. It feels good to be back...kinda
