Weekly Flylady Thread 14th June 2010

boddy

Afternoon everyone.

A very cold wind here today. Ive been into town to take back some of the things that didnt fit DD. She is more or less sorted to go to her dads for her step mums funeral next Monday. I wondered why it was so long till the funeral but DDs step brother had booked 2 weeks holiday and has gone.

No real flying here yet Im just having a cuppa to get warmed up. Im feeling a bit CBA today.

Summermoon Hugs.
Toots I always double check the doors are locked when going out and they are locked when Im in the house.
Sexymouse Hugs.
Valli Have a lovely weekend.

Hugs for everyone specially Toots Lady L and Diva.

Do you think it might have anything to do with someone getting out her garden parasol ???

Another one who needs to shift bahookie. Part of me wants to try and reorganise my kitchen, but things always seem to end up in the same place.
And I now need to find things to put at the back of the top shelves because I can't reach that far now (I've only lost one inch!)

hhmmph!!!! well its lovely here!!!:D:p:p
and just in case you are still sitting there .................... *KICK*
now get off your seat and sort out the kitchen - i have done mine this morning!xxxx

why thank you lovely lady:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: if only it was true!!!:D

S&S the bathroom
totally decluttered the kitchen

toots xx


later .....
mummyslittleboy glad you have managed to get things under control and nice that others are helping too - hope Nan gets well enough very soon to get Grandad home - she will be missing him too.
fedup well done to you - hope you have a fantastic holiday - I am impressed by your determination these days.
procrastinator - I know its hard but its their loss - obviously something better is coming - fingers crossed for DH.

Had text from xx_jo_xx to say that they safely completed their 3 peaks challenge and within the 24hours - they were on their way home when she texted and she was going straight to bed!

WM 3 on, WM 2 pegged out and dry towels folded/put away. I'm glad we didn't venture out, as this cold is still making me feel quite yucky.

DS2 is going to have a snack and then we'll do a couple of activities to stop me from going to sleep.

Shiny orb seen here, too, for about a split second. We're back to various shades of grey now. It's windy, though, so the washing is drying nicely.

Hugs to Sexymouse and Penpen

Apologies been missing in action, been one of those weeks, didn't seem to achieve very much really.

Anyway today has been a fling like mad day....so far I've ventured into DD2's pit and with that and other stuff from around the house we've filled and flung

7 binbags.:eek:

I started with an individual 27 fling and it grew...:rotfl:

Made soup

OH been to dump with knackered electricals...there were a lot and we were ruthless.

Now to sort some boxes of paper, then some clothes I think. In a rare ruthless mood so I'll take advantage of myself.:D

Also WM X 4

DW X4 including a vinegar rinse.

Car boot tomorrow so will load the van up later, there are tons in the shed.

lav1979

Posting listy to see where I'm at. Have read the fred, but forgotten everything lol x Big hugs, cuppas, etc take as required:A
BUT VERY BIG HUGS TO DIVA, LL (ENJOY GLASTO - I LOVED IT), AND TOOTS:A:A:A And sending spoons xxx

Must pack hospital bag as 36weeks preggers today, I'm honestly not in denial:rotfl:. I got the most gorgeous nursery curtains from ebeast for £15, instead of £40-50 as shown on website. :money:. Also got ABC and number stickers for the walls only £1.99 instead of £ 8 -10 I have seen on the net. They have a clear backing and have arranged them as much as my limited artistic talent allows:rotfl:. Bump still in wrong postion, will have a check in two weeks if still in wrong postion then c section it is, not sure how i feel about this .

Sunny and windy in Liverpool, so washing blowing away and managed spill scalding hot coffee over me - baby brain and no damage thankfully. Just feel very clumsy :cool:.

Just listed my first 4 books as an ama**on seller, so proud lol, if they do sell, it all adds up. Have been looking at morg overpayments, even on mat leave, it is doable, if only an extra 50 month potentially could knock of 5-7 yrs. Been reading chamichelle thread, in awe tbh.

Have been ritually making a list, that is evergrowing of things I want done before bump arrives. DH just nods
.
Right waffle over, if its not there its done.

Had a row with my Mum because she refused to help me, as she said she "can't help everyone at the moment and I should take it to a drycleaners" (she is looking after my Nan, who has just been diagnosed with dementia). So, have now had to fork out more money to get it repaired.

Hugs, honey, I may have told you the tale of my SIL having a diva moment about our wedding because she had to push a button on a CD player and that was too stressful for her:eek:
People always decide it's all about them, but they are wrong, it is all about the two of you just for that day.

That said, don't burn any bridges, take the moral high ground. DH made me do that when we got married (it don't come natural to me!) and I was soo glad we did...esp when someone we really didn't want but were forced to invite was desperately rude to three of our friends, racist about our best woman and finally....

panic stricken when a ferret tried to run up her trouser leg:rotfl:

Roll with it, enjoy every bit you can. Hopefully this will be the last wedding you plan, God willing.
