Weekly Flylady Thread 12th April 2010

Ishtar

Hi all
Hope everyone has had a good day? Things OK here - mum's operation was cancelled on Friday so she's waiting for a phone call to arrange another appointment. Worst thing is that she had gone into hospital on Thursday last week, been starved (and given laxatives :eek:), then was kept waiting all day Friday. They sent her home 5pm....

Anyway, I've done all my morning dailies, half my evening dailies plus the following (if it isn't there, I've done it!):

Monday ~ Kitchen/Dining area
Level One
Level Two
Scrub the fronts of units and large appliances
Wipe and replace the small appliances
Wipe tables and place clean cloth
Level Three
Clean out a cupboard..
Scrub the sink and shine the taps and tiles
Clean out the fridge! This will be done tomorrow/Wednesday. My 10 year old 'frost free' fridge/freezer needs defrosting. It truly is on it's last legs, but I can't have a new one just yet....
Extras

1. Declutter and wipe window sills
2. Empty and wash out bins.. recycling, rubbish and compost! (inside bins not wheelies!!!!)
3. HHI

I'm off to get the washing in, put littleys to bed then (hopefully) relax on the sofa with some knitting....you never know DS might, just might, go to sleep and not wake up until midnight. Fingers crossed....

Take care
D

:j:j:jTodays list is done:j:j:j
My fridge looks like its brand new-I love it. But it's empty :eek:Will have to put "order shopping" on tomorrows list.
LW sorry, Im getting threads confused BFP=Big Fat Positive. ie after all those months of trying (in my case 18 months about) its about bl**dy time I saw 2 lines on a pregnancy test.
Good idea about the HHwii, I might join you once the house is back on track. HHC’s are enough exercise for bump and I at the minute. My DH also does the ironing as most of the time if I stand in that “one position” for more than 10 minutes my hip ends up locking and I cant move away from the board...and I got fed up of the endless giggles before coming to “relocate” me....STOP LAUGHING;)
Notso Glad you got your coffee fix
La escocesa yes you can carry things over. It’s great to aspire to all three levels, but pace yourself so that you don’t crash and burn (I speak from experience), like the powers that be always remind us. It all comes back around next week-and its the longevity of it that keeps it fun for me.
Gien what’s the pick your own field? That sounds lovely. We have a heritage site that we can see from our bedroom (one of our reasons for choosing this house), that has so many interesting things-including wild gardens, and a lady’s heart buried on the site-but Ive never heard of one of them.
Valli yay for DH cooking. We’re also having spag-but ol’ smokey, not bog...and Im cooking as I haven’t done in a few months. DH is the cook in our house, but he’s been so thinly stretched I thought Id spoil him for a change...off to go do that then:)

La escocesa yes thats fine - read post 3 and you will get the 'rules'

vanilla how annoying - keep at them though - its just not good enough.

Hi, I have joined this thread as I need motivation. I'm the type of person who always has things to do but never gets things done. I think this thread will help as the daily tasks will help motivate me as I can see things on a daily level rather than having loads of stuff to do and not knowing where to start!

ETA...technical question...is it ok to leave something until another day??? So if I cannot face cleaning out a cupboard today and I do it tomorrow, do I still get a star???

Welcome and good luck.

Jobs need to be finished by Sunday evening to get a star

Dinner done.
Washing in.

Need to phone Mum to update her on DS3 and clear up from dinner.

meant to say earlier ther are some good new signatures going around just now - Dusty, Vanilla and G&B spring to mind!

Dusty hope you get a better sleep tonight

is toochoosey away just now - I dont remember seeing her post?

its lovely that so many of you managed to meet up over the last few days- it must make a huge difference being able to put faces to ID's now!!!

I think i forgot to tell you last week with all the excitement i had that i had my feeding tube removed - as you know it had given me no end of bother and the final straw came last sunday when a piece of surrounding skin punctured and I developed another hole!!! It will have to be done again but not for about 3 months at least!

And ....Cornhill want to see my wish list to see if there is anything that they can help with ...isnt that lovely - I dont think there is but who knows. Will need to get it printed off tonight to take withg me.

I put 11 lots on ebay at the weekend and 1 has a bid so something else will be leaving the building.

ok I am off this time

Evening all,

Well had a busy day, dropped DD2 off at childminders, while there put a plait in her DD's hair (really, really long red curly hair, it's lovely), came home, started on the kitchen, went to the skip when it opened, came back and went to steps (which wasn't on).

Carried on in the kitchen when I got home and also did some gardening. Popped to the garden centre to get a couple more plants.

Who would have thought that I would enjoy cleaning???? Well I like the end result so that gives me motivation enough. And the fact that I have more time and energy now that I am not working full time.

Hugs to all that need them, congratulations to anyone celebrating a Birthday!!!

Monday ~ Kitchen/Dining area
Level One
Level Two
Level Three
Clean out the fridge! - will do when it's a little bit emptier, probably Thursday.
Extras

1. Wipe over oven

ETA, I have not seen Ruth(BenW) posting, I hope she is ok and is bearing up.
