Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd February 2010

Glamazon

oops I kinda fell back to sleep with LO at 9am and woke up at 10.30am!

OH's fault because he went to work later and I don't like tidying while he's here - he questions EVERYTHING that goes in the bin or shredding pile!

Have put bleach down the toilets and cleared stuff in the bathroom ready to tackle that later.

Anyone up for 11.30am HHC?

ETA managed most of my list, but got a bit sidetracked, instead of the bits not done, I did the sink, washing up loaded the washing machine, cleaned up the 2 bowls I smashed! So I did achieve a few bits.

Morning all. Got very behind on my flying, wil try and catch up. We lost our lovely cat on Tuesday and it was horrible:( On top of that I have a meeting with my bosses tomorrow which I am dreading. We need the money but I really feel like telling them where to shove it.
So things aren't much better at the moment.

Hope everyone else is ok and thank you to those who were thinking of us.

Suppose I should go and start cleaning:o

Apparently Alan Alda agrees with Pigpen and says you need to clean your window *H* :rotfl:, know what you mean about not being that dedicated but it was very brave of you to admit it :rotfl:

Well done Dreamy and congrats on the engagement.

Did the bathroom last night and the study area with dining room other day so only have windows to clean for a star, had to buy squegee this morning to try out Pigpen's window cleaning advice. Thanks Pigpen and hope you feel [STRIKE]better[/STRIKE] less tired soon.
