Weekly Flylady Thread 17th May 2010

frugalzzz

Flying in to update on my week!

All done, cept the kids bedrooms, and I'm making them do their own from this week on so that'll probably take twice as long LOL!

Isn't funny how as you peel back the layers of griminess, cleaning opportunties just present themselves?

I mean I never before noticed how grey my white pvc window frames had gotten until everything else was ship shape and shiny. Sooo I add that to my extras today...

Scrub down the window frames in all the bedrooms.

Have a great day flyers!]

I start week 5 next week and it's been amazing and life changing for my family. Thank you!

Morning all.

Newlywed I hope you and hubbie are on better terms this evening. I know you feel let down but trust an old bird life really is too short for we never know what is around the corner. Next time you want a kiss take the initiative and instigate one yoruself.

Yeah we're fine. I think it was mostly coz we usually spend our anniversary together and he had to work (which I was fine with) but I'd spent the 2 days before traipsing over the county going to job interviews, had blisters on my feet which bled, got told I wasn't suitable for the jobs that I knew I could do, wrecked my new charity shop shoes and felt generally thoroughly fed up Was sat at home hungry waiting for him to come back for lunch too. So him not bothering to give so much as a kiss on our anniversary really got to me

Sorry about the foul mood yesterday. We got some vouchers and a bit of cash from family which was lovely And of course half a bottle of sancerre wine helped my mood no end

Still waiting to hear about one job, but not feeling very confident about it as they seemed worried that I wanted to do a different type of job than I was doing. There's no redundancy money left now so I only get £65 a week and then whatever OH can earn and since the jsa money doesn't even nearly cover the rent, and OH is self employed so housing benefit etc seems to get really complicated with se work, it's a bit of a worry and it's been 3 months now and I need a blummin job!!

But my fridge is lovely and clean and tidy from yesterday as I chose to do my binbag dance in the crammed full fridge :rotfl:

Anyone got any recipes for gala apples that have been in the fridge too long?

Morning all

Well done to embb's DD Now you can really start to worry........;)

Two loads of washing out on the line including two throws from the living room and my two coats. With this weather I think it's pretty safe to wash them!

I did all the bedrooms on Wednesday. I've vacuuumed right through downstairs this morning, after cutting the front grass (I always manage to drop some grass when I'm carrying the mower through the house).

It's very hot so I'm sitting here with windows open and curtains closed to keep it cool for the dog.

Hope everyone's OK.

danny is on the hospital plane as we speak thank the lord, we have to be at selly oak military hospital tomorrow at 2 to meet him, the doctors and the liason officer. they are putting us up in a hotel friday night, which has me worrying that there is something they haven't said to danny or us; it must be though that they do this as a matter of course? we only live 2 and a half hours away - which they know - so can easily travel there and back.

Hope I am not too late posting so you see this. I really wouldn't worry, family aftercare for the forces isn't always as bad as they make out on the news. I would have thought it would be more for Danny's sake. Although in comparison to most who come back he has been lucky there is still the mental well being that I mentioned in my pm, and having you there so he knows he can see you the following day too will be a comfort. I hope everything goes well for him with his treatment, keep us posted but not any time today, enjoy your time with him x

LOL! We'll have to disagree on this then - I wouldn't be advising anyone to attempt A-level without getting a B at the very least

Dustykitten wrote: »

I completely agree at least a B and a passion for the subject.

And some universities find that the best indicator for degree success is actually GCSE grades (maths for example)

The grass in the back is calling, I can't really be bothered to get the lawnmower out but it will give OH and I more time at the weekend. I am going...I may be some time!

It's just the way she is.....but she gets upset the day before - she was fine this am!

Glad she was happier this morning.. I'd rather gnaw off my limbs than do history! lol

baby washing all out on the line

Still only got half the patio area cleaned BUT I have weeded and repotted the planters and filled a wheelie bin and watered the rabbits (oops!!) Need to get through the other half outside but I am almost dead now!! It is so disgustingly hot out there!!

Having a cuppa and a browse through the Lakeland catalogue that arrived this morning.. looks rubbish so far!

OH sorted the DW

I will put both WM's on a clean cycle in a bit... when I am cooler!
