Weekly Flylady Thread 16th November 2009

zzzLazyDaisy

Good morning folks. Please may I join you? I am new to OS - have recently started doing more cooking from scratch and batch cooking for the freezer and need to get a grip of the house. I have health and mobility problems and have a lodger who also helps in the house, so I may cheat and get her to help me with some of the tasks I can't manage - does that count? It all looks a bit overwhelming, but I'm willing to give it a go :rolleyes:

Here's my edited version....

morning all hope u r well?
before i start can i ask a quick question we r have my sil and bil round at the weekend and this is first time they have seen our new house i really want to make a good impression and tips on things to help the house and bedding smell nice or anything else i shouldn't forget.
my other house was messy and smelly even after i tried mainly cause i wasn't great on house work till before this thread but no i am (thanks to u) so i'm hoping they will notice this house is alot cleaner.

Garden pics here... hopefully!

ETA - can't make them work... will have to try again from work!

For anyone who would rather help redesign my garden than do their flying , I'm going to replace the garage with a large shed - it'll have double doors on the drive end, a veranda/door/window on the garden side and a lean to with log store/potting bench at the back (facing the current shed).

Shed will be demolished, and I have plans to put a rotary washing line in that area.

I know the apple tree needs a hair cut...

Hedge down the side of the patio (leylandii & laurel) will be replaced with fence. Patio will be extended by about 6 feet. Need to decide on stone, and also what to do with path.

Garden will be levelled a bit - there will still be a higher level at the back, where the tree is on the bank but the lawn/shed etc will be level rather than up and down!

I have roses, hydrangeas, poppies, paeonies & irises heeled in at the front to go back, and I like cottage garden plants, preferably scented, which attract insects. Soil is solid clay...
