Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd March 2010

Mumof2_2

In my HHC I
let the chickens out to freerange (been in all morning eating pellets)
put away dry washing
hung up wet washing
did washing up (been there 2 days but shhhh, don't tell anyone )
wiped work surfaces
emptied bin and put new liner in
charged up DS's electric motorbike - not something you do every day when Flying!
shooed chickens out of hall (again, not something you do every day!)
tidied up DD's room
picked up stuff all over lounge floor

So not bad really. Just about to do scrambled eggs (thanks Betsy) on toast for lunch as starving!

Kazwookie, just seen your post - do you want to borrow my DD too? She's 7 and loves plants etc!

*wanders out of long-time lurking*

We appear to be in a routine of sorts and the house is getting sorted out slowly and now suddenly it looks quite tidy (or irrational hormones have stopped me seeing dirt and grime and stress everywhere). Our dog has also been re homed, which is sad but better for him and it also helps me to have more time, less to do and suddenly a kitchen again now there isn't a huge dog crate in there.

So, over the weekend I have a few things to do then I can get started on Monday with the flying Mainly just catch up on the laundry.

Fold and put away the pile of clothes in my room
Iron the mount iron-me
Clear the floor area of the kids room so I don't fall into the cot!

Some of us were talking about a second get together in York in the following week. Would that be better for you?

We could well be up for the second week, either as a day trip or IF I get a towbar in time and can get on the campsite we might even be up there for a few days anyway. Either way count us as possibles please
