Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd February 2010

Tomato

Hello, ladies

Happy (exhausted ) to report that Mon- Fri is all done!!

I have the usual excuse of a very busy week in the office, so all had to be done in one go. Thank you to the trio for all the lists and keeping the thread together for people like me .

The flat is clean, and it smells fresh too :j:j:j.

On a different note: is anyone expecting letters about secondary school places next week? Our DS1 is going to big school next year, and schools in our area are not that great, but those that are only take kids who practicly live on the school's door step:rotfl::rotfl:

Anyway, I am stressing about the whole thing a bit. We applied to a couple of grammar schools, and I keep my fingers crossed, but .... oh, enough of blabbering. Better fix myself a drink. It is kinda of my weekend ritual now: clean, a drink, cook a nice family meal. Cos if you are a bit tipsy, their faces look nicer ....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

As per usual, positive vibes to all in need (and not) as I have not been reading the thread at all. Oh, well, let's hope it will be around once I am retired, plenty of time then (she hopes).

Love to all.

Been to church, re-done lounge, emptied car, am off to buy new shoes for Emily then a lovely afternoon of school work to sit down to - woohoo. Am going to go to Nan's house while she is away and can get on with stuff without small people there, and can watch rubbish tv and drink many cups of coffee too.

Dh is having icklies again cos I am a bit snowed under as we are expecting an Ofsted any day soon and I need to get everything in order, then need to understand what it all means!

Am also going to realistically plan my week so I can get some housework done instead of waiting for the weekend and dh is going to get a list for each day cos am fed up of him loafing around 'playing' with Adam and getting nowt done (sorry for yet another whingey post - must be hormones)

I'm going to update my spending spreadsheet :eek: i've overspent majorly this month and i'm dreading finding out exactly how bad it is. I've had to transfer almost all my savings into my current account. I have bought the xbox for Ds1's early Birthday present and the rabbits mansion so it's not all been squandered. On the good side my Gas & Electricty DD's have been reduced by £60 a month because they owe me money for once.

Afternoon all,

Had a lovely morning with LadyL - we went to starbucks, had fruit toast and coffee, and put the world to rights (translates as I had a moan about the head, and LadyL very graciously listened to my babbling lol).

Had a bad night's sleep as Moon was snoring, and there was a bad storm, so the rain kept on waking me up, so I got up early (not as early as Moon though) and did some flying. I cleaned the bathroom, put a load of washing on, and cleaned the window frames in the bedroom to get rid of the mildew on them. I also made the bed and sorted out the washing on the floordrobe into the correct piles.

Moon has cleaned the dining table of all of the dust (not the chairs though), and has sort of sorted out his paperwork on the desk, so things are a little bit tidier. I've also chucked out a few bit of paper from the coffee table, so will be off to dust everything properly in a minute once I've put another load of washing on.

Colleague may be coming over this afternoon to see the wood burner and our new bed, and her house was beautifully tidy when I went over on Tuesday, so don't want ours to look like a pit when she comes over. Will try to persuade Moon to do a HHC with me.

Anyone fancy a HHC 2.15-2.45?

Off to sort out this washing now. Will be back at 2.15 to start the challenge.
