Weekly Flylady Thread 31st May 2010

msgnomey

well I have written 3 reports so not quite the target I set but I am writing rubbish now so I must stop, just did a report with help from OH it went along the lines of ' **** has been a complete twit all year and has hardly done any work so what can I say? Your child is lazy, can't spell and should stay at how' only as you can imagine the language was a little more flowery!!

so off to bed

new list in the morning (will include writing reports no doubt!!)

Hello,

I have been lurking on here for a while, trying to fly, but often not getting beyond Tuesdays, mainly due to clutter issues, have also discovered the great declutter thread which has helped me get a bit closer to being able to clean without spending the cleaning time, tidying/decluttering. Given I only get a couple of hours of an evening after getting home from work and having dinner before I feel the need to crash out in bed this is a major problem. So, I am going to see if posting helps as I really need to get the house in order, and the garden needs work too but I like that so don't have a problem getting on with it. I'm not going to be too adventurous and stick to level ones, but have taken advantage of being home all day today and tomorrow.

Bank Holiday Monday ~ Bits of not very much!
Level One
[STRIKE]S&S kitchen[/STRIKE] Done
Wash the manky windows you have ignored every week it has been on the extras! Tried to delegate to OH, whose response was, they don't need doing, they were cleaned when we got the blinds fitted (several months ago:eek:)
Level Two
[STRIKE]Bake a cake or prepare a meal you've never done before[/STRIKE]Prepared a meal I've never done before
Catch up on the[STRIKE] laundry/ironing/filing[/STRIKE].. or whatever else you have been neglecting! Well, did the laundry yesterday (ok baskets still got some in, but done all full loads, and not going to waste water/electricity on half loads), ironing 2/3 done, filing done yesterday, just got the in tray to deal with
Get your spreadsheets/budgetting/insurances etc up to date. Spreadsheets and budgets planned for tomorrow - 1st of month job.
Level Three
Empty and wash out the bins OHs job, not done, though I did take the kitchen waste out to the compost bin
[STRIKE]Tidy one cupboard[/STRIKE].. any cupboard bt opening one which is already tidy and saying you did that one is not good enough Did the cupboard under the stairs:D.

Extras

1. Ring/visit a friend or relly you haven't seen/spoken to in a while!Wish I had done this.
   
2. Binbag dance. Not my strong point!
   
3. SOAADFA .. I know you like this one!.. Go enjoy your day!Did a bit of this with a cup of tea in the middle of my 5 hour gardening stint chopping back massively overgrown clematis, planting out seedlings, bit of weeding, managed to totally fill the green bin.

Now off for a bath and bed.
Hope I can keep this up all week!

MrsChaos

Have emptied and re-loaded DW and wiped 3 trays, as well as the top of the fridge, where they live. I've also decluttered a programme from the sky+ (only had to finish it). DH has just come in and gone straight upstairs, so it looks like he's still sulking. Bedtime, I think.

I shouldn't need to go out tomorrow, so I'll hopefully feel up to a bit more flying. I'd love to clean the inside of the playhouse, so we can move toys into there, but the weather forecast isn't great.

See you all in the morning. x

pigpen

Oh.. when we got back earlier we discovered a chest of drawers, a gate and 2 of the chairs have been removed from the front.. the rest of the stuff is definitely bin food and is slowly going down!

I best go forage some dinner.. I have incredible heartburn due to being hungry...

kazmeister

welcome jsaver, nice to see you posting rather than lurking, toots our official meeter and greeter will be along in the morning I would think to give you a PM.

msgnomey - I know youre not allowed to but I think sometimes the parents should be told the truth about their children.

longtermlurker - youre allowed to fall off the wagon we're all human (although I do admit to possible being possessed today )

AnW'smum - Oakes looks lovely, was it a school organised thing or something you arranged

cosmomo - thanks for the reply, thought it might have just been mine

Mrs Chaos - you post your achievements. It motivated me to do a bit more and update my list

Well I did a couple of things off today's list - I bought my car insurance after haggling on the phone and comparing prices on other websites, I baked a maple syrup sponge pudding for after dinner, and the rest of the day involved doing SOAADFA (on the flying front anyway - we did visit the venue for our reception and tried the cakes and tea, and I've also been looking at cupcake stands, and cases for our wedding cake, and sourcing bridesmaid dresses again).

Off to bed now or I'll be tired in the morning.

Night night all,
