Weekly Flylady Thread 15th February 2010

keys_2

I just thought I would pop in after ive got no flying done yet today , but reading your posts has given me the motivation to get started today - THANKS ALL -

This morning the council came and shifted all my bin bags in the back yard that were accumlating after my wheelie bin got stolen before xmas . So I now have a clutter free yard :j:j . So my back yard wil lbe getting scrubbed before Saturday as im holding my brothers 21st party at my house so lots to do before then :cool: So im hoping to get all stars this week , even thow I know its going to be a big challenge this week along with shopping and cooking etc for saturday night . But well im sure ill be able to relax at the party with one or 2 drinks ,...hehe . Then to do all the tidying up again on Sunday , which I must admit im rather dreading sunday :rotfl:

Im going to start with HHC at 4.15 pm if anyone wants to join in ???

This morning ive taken dd ice skating for the first time at the local park as they had a free event on - I already feel like ive done a work out , but at least now I have the fire for comfort

Prettypennies, we're the same with width of curtains, our front bay is huge so I dread to think what ours would come to.

I'd love to have a go washing them myself in the washer but daren't risk it and have them shrink - that and the CBA to iron them :rotfl:

Hello All – Am in this week and made good headway after my weekend away. LR resembled a demolition site when I got back and don’t think could see an inch of the table for all the rubbish that had been dumped on it not to mention the empty pizza boxes underneath it. Was worth it though to spend time with the lovely Jinky :kisses3:

Have not read back on the thread or I would have got nothing done so hope everybody is ok. Happy Birthdays, Congratulations and Hugs for anybody that needs any of them.

Thanks to Soappie, Pigpen and Toots for their continual hard work on the thread

Cant remember whether it was Toots or Soappie that suggested a few week ago that I maybe get new bedding ........... Well have been out today and bought a fab set and new curtains too. :T Am so so pleased with it and have cleaned all the bedroom so will have a head start on bedroom day

Special hugs for Diva, LadyL and Toots
