Weekly Flylady Thread 4th January 2010

Quick question please

Tuesday ~ Master bedroom and landing!

I don't have a 'master' bedroom - me and OH sleep on sofa bed in lounge. DD1 & 2 share main bed room - but they live in a tip!!

Do I try to fly their room - but they are suppose to clean it themselves.

Or shall I do DD3's bed room and possibly DS's as I'm not at work tomorrow so have more free time?? Decisions decisions

Best get the ironing board out tomorrow now then Jo, bit too late to start now unlike greenbee who needs a great big kick up the jacksie- can't believe you would sleep in a sleeping bag rather than make your own bed you lazy mare! And yes I am trying to avoid the marking!

I didn't want to make it without doing the rest of the stuff (wiping the frame, dusting etc, which I don't like doing once its made as it gets the bedding dusty... I hoover the mattress last, then make the bed.

Greenbee - what's a pawnbroker chair? Google images fail me....

They're chairs with three little round balls in the frame on the back... when I get my new camera working I'll take pictures (they're very small, rickety and not particularly comfortable - they're old and should really be bedroom chairs, but if I used proper sized chairs I wouldn't fit 10 round the table!)

OK... so I've done quite well in the bedroom - taken everything off the chest of drawers, tall boy, blanket chest, bedside table & dressing table, dusted them, sorted and dusted the stuff to put back (and thrown some out); wiped the bedframe, wiped the chair, dusted & polished the pictures and mirror; wiped the lampshades, lamps, flexes (yuk) and bulbs (I can see more now!), hoovered the floor, hoovered the skirting, dewebbed, hoovered the blind... so tonight I just need to make the bed and then tomorrow I'll dust the corner shelf which has an ancient doll's teaset on it, wipe the window frame, window sill & wood work and wash the floor. All the drawers and the wardrobe have been sorted and tidied recently but I bet pigpen manages to come up with SOMETHING on bedroom day that I haven't done!:p ETA... just seen that bedroom day is tomorrow, so I should be able to cross most of it off before I go to bed!

Better get my bed made, hot water bottles made and go to bed... I need to do some ironing before work tomorrow (huge stack of pillowcases :rolleyes: which I'll need for visitors)

Oh my goodness, this is one heck of a thread to keep up with! Just skimmed it before I go to bed.

Problem with dh's work computer is that I can't seem to cut and paste on it, I am half way through the Monday list, but too tired now to type it all out slowly.

Had a great day today, dh had a days holiday to use up, so we went to the beach in the freezing cold, it was totally empty and very beautiful.

Back to school tomorrow, so off to first hang up underwear for everyone overnight ( knew there was something I had forgotten:o) and then to bed.

Evening everyone

sorry i havent been around much - its been one of those days - but hey ho I got there in the end - new carers didnt turn up until 30 mins before lunch was due and then cleaner hasnt made it so no cleaning, ironing or help taking down of decors done as i had hoped - but its not the end of the world!!! head down and batter on!!!

Greenbee thank goodness you found your keys - the next time you hide them leave yourself a clue somewhere like on your mobile or on the pc
Diva thinking of you honey and sending stregth and better health vibes to Tris. (((hugs)))
welcome back *Jellie*, RacheBud, skipsmum, shell_542, Eltee12, good to see you again
smartie12 it will take him a few days to get into his route - I hope he isnt late for school first day back!!! (((hugs))) for you for getting stressed in really Mummy style:D
julie hope the heating is back on now and you are getting thawed out.

welcome to the thread stressed.mum, LameWolf, Bree, BenW, snoozer, babs, cosmomo, Beki, SAVEALOT, gilly1964, mizzbiz, *~Mummy2two~*, mirandab,pippo, nikki_angel, caledoniaquine, Ladyhawk, laura_ - I have sent you a pm to help you (hopefully) - any problems just shout and the power of the flyladies will try to help!
LameWolf dont get stressed - just do what you can when you can - the lists are a guide to help you get more organised and have time to yourself. Take it slowly for a few weeks and you will be surprised how things get easier - stick with us - the clean up doesnt happen overnight!!! Wise words form Dusty:A
Happy New Year Kassey I missed you - I noticed you werent on my festive lists and hoped you were having a good time.
BenW I thought we were actually going to have another man on the thread until you signed your post:rotfl::rotfl: Dont worry about the state of the place - we have all been there- dont expect over night miracles it will take at least a month to see real progress so stick at it and restore order - grief can do that to us but you have made the first step by coming on here - aim to do level 1 everyday and anything extra is a bonus!
snoozer it doesnt matter that you have a cleaner or who does the jobs so long as its helping you get organised.
mudbath hope you are feeling better
Oi!!!! scared where you been do you think you can sneak back in with out me seeing yoo?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:nice to see you hun and wonderful news - i wont tell a soull!!!

thats the second arrival i have been told about today so whose next???
TAG oooooooooooooh a black escort I am sooooooooooooo jealous - I had forgotten about it!!!!

Sammiell you had better take it easy with that chest infection or you will take longer to recover - get yourself to the docs and get sorted (((hugs))) ooooooooooh how exciting for next year - and I could [STRIKE]nag[/STRIKE] help you by making sure you do the lists and maybe ebay a few bits????:rotfl:

carol my love sorry to hear Christmas was bad - will be thinking of you tomorrow too honey and I will be in touch after - but if you need your aunty before you know where I am - I love the idea of your own 'ceremony' and buying flowers - did he have favourite kinds - mine did - i think I might copy you in May. (((hugs))) xxxxxxxxxxx

Ladyhawk I loved that film!!!
kazm I hope the blood test are not ok - you havent done your bedroom yet:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: you need more time! seriously I hope the treatment has worked for you.
rosepink I am with AnW'sMum on the chocolate - it really needs to be all or nothing - cold turkey -you were not going to be eating it anyway to stop your headaches and feeling bleurgh - maybe if you gave it up as a trial for a month you would see if you are feeling better and achieved something during the day instead of sleeping. I hope you have cleaned the milk of the sofa - milk is the worst thing you can leave - it can smell for weeks if not cleaned properly.
Froddy (((hugs))) for the sore arm - the cold will not be helping you - I am pleased to see you have reverted to a one-a-day list - much more satisfying to achieve all seven!!!:T
MissHiggerty sorry to hear there has been more family problems - hope the 'peace' holds. nice to see you.
lil_me hope you are getting your heating sorted - hope Ds had a good day - natural fibres for the socks should help.

sorry if I have missed you but am nearly brain dead catching up.

must go find my liist and do a quick update before bed.

hugs to you all especially the poorlies
special hugs and love to Lady L
