Morning All

Well I've hardly done anything this week - AF is wearing me out good and proper:o

Potty - Gloss woodwork in bathroom - mask area forgotten about last week first - I'm sure I've been reading this for about 2 months - get it done! - or at least the masking.

So do I - mine keep disappearing at work - the teacher uses them and I never see them again!

Lil-me - lovely to see what you look like at last.

Jinks - I'll find you on FB.

Have a good day all - staff meeting for me tonight so not sure how much I'll get done and I need to prepare for my interview although I have been given the morning off tomorrow so that's nice.

Hugs to all

Morning everyone.

I over slept and has 20 min for my next train. Going to get ready.

Dried the dishes from last night and put them away.

Jinky, tried your method to clean the oven grid (bio liquid in bathtub overnight). The caramelized stuff I am trying to shift is not shifting easily. :eek: Did you say I needed to really scrub it>

My room is pretty much pristine tho (coz if i hadn't stayed out of his way this week i'd have throttled him! )...can i have a sympathy star please? :D

I'll be back next week, new and improved, coz things are gonna get sorted this weekend! Do i get a star for 'reflagging' the patio? :rotfl:

Intastella, I know of people like that. It is a disgrace. I even have a similar case going at work: people make tea in the kitchen and leave dirty spoons on the sink, etc. And a colleague of mine is in a the same boat as you. His flat mate's room is a carpet of clothes, pizza boxes, well picture 'How clean is your house' in the first 5 minutes of the show. My mate is looking to move out. He's had enouht.My sympathy goes to you.:A

Anyway, need to get ready, or I will miss this train too...

What do you have instead Jo?

Gosh, I didnt realise my lavvy was now a place of interest

I put bleach in it over night (under the rim and all). In the morning, I don my rubber gloves which are solely for the toilet and clean it Kim and Aggie Style.

When I am finished the cleaning cloth/scrubber goes in the boil wash on the cleaning cycle, or in the bin. I only use the same cloth for the toilet, even after its been boiled.

Jinky, I can only reiterate what the others have already said - dont leave us because of another thread.....leave the other thread!!! Hugs hun x


Flying - Ive put the washing machine on this morning, that I forgot to put on last night - again!!!!

Swished the kitchen, made lunches and sorted tea. Did the dishes I didnt do last night and caught up with some of the thread.

Have taken down the shower curtain and bath mats, so they will get flung in the machine if the first lot is finished before I go to work.

Off to pop some clothes on and actually get ready for work now

Good morning Ladies.

Jinky - I have just read through this thread (no, not all of it from the beginning) and see you are saying you are leaving. I have no idea why as I dont know what other thread members are referring to. But I do want to say you have been an inspiration to me and you appear to have recently got the hang of the flylady habit (judging by the surprise people have shown when you have been getting your stars). This is not the time to leave this thread! I have thought: there is someone here who has been flying for a while; they have just made that breakthru - therefore I CAN DO IT TOO! I would be very sorry to see you go.

Not flying related but might have an adverse effect:
Just learned from my brother that my mother is in hospital and has been for two weeks! And her husband never told me! I hadnt been able to get in touch, but that isnt unusual - she is the kind of lady who is always out and about somewhere, so I wasnt worried. Seems she is having complications from some of the tablets she has been taking; her blood count is down to 8 (should be at about 10 or higher) and is bleeding from the rectum (TMI, sorry). Trouble is, she is in Brighton, I am in Durham and my brother is in Cornwall! Couldnt be more spread about if we tried!

Anyway, Im in London on Monday for a meeting, so will be staying down there and visiting. Will probably stay with my dad as he is closest (they're divorced).
