Weekly Flylady Thread 8th February 2010

MrsChaos

Right - now to flying.

I've decluttered enough cups of tea and still don't feel any more motivated, so I'll just have to get on with it. So far I have:
copied this week's lists into a work document and amended it,
given DS1 a list for his bedroom and a deadline of 6pm tomorrow (he's now out at a friend's, revising for his physics exam),
made breakfasts for me and kids,
researched somewhere to go for a meal tonight,
talked to the central heating man who came unannounced :eek: (me in tracky bottoms and nightie and the house in a real mess).

I'll start working my way through the rooms and do what needs doing - I really like the 101 method an might start with that. With a bit of look I can cross a few things off the list to make next week easier.

Must also fit in baking and get some flowers for friend's birthday. I'll be a while.

Washing put away, and there was enough hot water for me to have a shower.:jIt's amazing the difference having a shower can make.:D I've also got dressed into clothes instead of nightwear, so feel a bit more normal as I've been able to open the curtains too and let some light in.

It's a lovely sunny day here - hope the weather continues like this next week as it'd be lovely to go on some walks into town instead of driving.

Off to find the most urgent bits of washing the put on now - my dressing gown is one, as I've been using that as an alternative bed cover when the bed has got wet, so it could do with a freshen up. Will do the other towels at the same time too.

Hugs to all,

pigpen thats great news that DS and GF and jacob are getting another house - is it nice and not too far away? I think the woofy is a bad idea - you have loads on your plate as it is!!!

It is the street at the end of my street.. possibly a little further than they are now but not a tiny flat.

But I LIKE being overwhelmed by everything!! Meaner..
