Weekly Flylady Thread 5th July 2010

kalojac

Just away to bed after 4 hours of ironing, I want my flylady house back but all I seem to do is run round in circles, nevermind that is week 1 of the holidays in for us (Scotland) and its been great, the house is still a tip but we've had lots of fun, will try and get some proper flying done tomorow, but the kids want to go out and about again, so we'll see. Will update list tomorrow, night night - Kalojac xx

well decision semi-made - Miss Valli is happy for him to be in the house but not in the Valli bed. I can hardly force that one then try to discourage her from 'casual' behaviour later...
Looks like the flop down in the lounge then cos no-one is kipping on my sofas

Valli wrote: »

Well the upshot of it is OH (note upgrade;)) is going to go with HIS suggestion of 'coming here and kipping on the sofa' and I've 'got to behave':rotfl:*rolleyes*;))
he is more concerned about the kids being comfortable with it all, especially DD who, frankly, isn't (she feels it's too soon for him to sleepover with me).

Mmmm - well you really can't do 'don't do as I do, do as I tell you'
Pleased he is concerned about how your kids feel.

Morning All :wave:

Sorry but haven't been able to catch up with the thread for the last couple of days, the heat is really getting to me, yesterday after school took the kiddies to SplashZone at MK, they had a brill time but I cooked as its indoors, glassed area with no ventilation that I could see - sauna for 2 hours, gave me a bad head but the kiddies had a fantastic time and really loved it. They are off to ExKH today so I'm going to crack on with the list and get as much done as poss cos I've let it slip here and its a right ole mess

See you all later

Hope you all have a very nice day [I'd like to be in North Ire - there's rain there apparently!!]

Since I last posted I've

Cleared drainer
Washed dishes
Emptied and reloaded Wm
Clothes on line
Swept and mopped kitchen floor including pulling out the freezer and fridge
Wiped down the fridge and freezer
Cleared the tops of the fridge and freezer
Killed loads of ants which were obviously hiding underneath the freezer!

I'm shattered now.

Valli - FWIW - I think you're making the right decision and he sounds like a nice guy.

As the adut dealing with children.. yes you can!!

Otherwise adults would not be allowed ro drive, drink, smoke, have sex, eat ice cream in bed etc.. all those perks of being an adult would be pointless.

Morning all,

Well done Pigpen on reducing your debt, you've paid off a massive amount.:T

I forced myself to go to Curves last night, there was only 1 other person there. I've changed my weighing and measuring to Tuesday so i've got an extra day to be good .:D The Stepchildren are back today I can't wait to hear how the Honeymoon went. I'm hoping they had a good time but they were'nt looking forward to spending a whole week with their Mum.
