    Good Morning flyers:j

    Up really early (since 4:30) as DS3 work me at 3:15 and I have not been able to get back to sleep. I have been sitting doing loads of financial flying whilst it is peaceful and I know I will be too tired later.

    Gentle flying today.

    Clean bath (only bit not to get done yesterday)
    clothes on line
    little bit of ironing
    sort desk drawers - last chore for my desk which feels great
    PTA catalogues
    Popcorn instructions

    Have a good day peeps DK

    Flyboy - your zones look fine to me :)

    I've just been cruising so far this week. Had other things happening - Doctors visit, travelling to pick up DS first car, settling kids back into school and me into work. Trying to do a bit of catch up tonight, tho. Have done a whole heap of filing and bugeting; got behind on the laundry again - on catch up mode till tomorrow.

    I did some kitchen zone work last week so not so much to do this week.

    It's about bedtime, so I'll put up tomorrows (Thursdays) list and see how I go :)

    Zone work:
    Clean fridge in and out;
    Clean microwave in and out;
    Sweep floor;
    Sanitize and wash tea towels and dish cloths.

    Usual stuff:
    Change two beds;
    Swish bathrooms;
    Get kids to vacuum living areas;
    Laundry;
    Work;
    Exercise (walk to work :) )


    ps . . . how do you put those lines through the things you've done?? :confused:

    Flyboy, have you not sorted your make-up bag then? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Funnily enough, it's the one thing that I KNOW I don't have to fret about;)

    The right hand button on the toolbar above the message box - or put STRIKE in square brackets at the beginning of the text and /STRIKE in square brackets at the end (I have my uses...:D )

    Got the kitchen floor done yesterday:j and dinner :j and DW:j and had mad ironing session this morning:j (only today's stuff ironed though:o )

    Today

    Dinner
    DW
    WM
    TD
    Ironing (thur fri)

    Mrs Fly and DS1 have fallen out BIG time, so I have a few bridges to build in my spare time:o :rotfl:

    Happy Flapping, Flybabes

  • A late start for me as i had a really disturbed night. I'm still sat here in my PJs and dressing gown, and 2 cups of tea have done nothing for me. :eek: I get the feeling this might be even worse once the baby is here.

    Pen-pen - how early would my little one have to be to arrive on your birthday? My mum reckons he will arrive on the 25th, as she had a gypsy go into her shop, and he said this would be a very happy day for her. (Maybe a mixed day for me ;) )

    OK - keeping it small - baby steps for me today.

    FLC mission is to scrub the taps with an old toothbrush

    1) finish 7F scheme for school.
    2) see if i can get some of 8C or D done
    3) deal with post
    4) do last nights washing up
    5) cook pork chops and jacket potatoes for dinner
    6) one load through WM
    7) sort load from WM
    8) tidy paperwork from dining table
    9) move one more box of stuff in office
    10) do some of cross stitch

    hopefully that will be manageable.

    Hi all

    Well Ive been financially flying this morning, and I have more paper-shuffling to do today too :rolleyes:

    So far I have
    spoke with acting solicitors who confirmed that the money they have given me is my bank charges back :beer:
    settled a sofa loan :)
    settled my student loans :)

    Lots of overflow from yesterday :(

    Put washing up away
    Shine sink DONE
    Wipe down all sides done
    Once over with the K floor
    put away all clothing DONE
    bookcase together?
    Sweep our bedroom
    list books on green metropolis
    Shuffle anything possible under the bed.
    think about ebaying some stuff later
    sit down and get all work documents in order.

    Cheers for the daily tip there, but I do the toothbrush thing with my swish & swipe routine :A hahaha I have this down to a fine art!

    Hope everyone else is good today :D
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
