Flylady Challenge - Take 3

kscour

I think I was better at half term challenge!
Had an awful day. I started to do up accounts for School but I got it all spread out put pen to paper and phone rang, up answer phone sit down, phone rings and on it went for an hour - didn't know wether to laugh or cry! Meeting dragged on for aaages and I got back just as parents turned up with DD's they had been looking after whilst I was in meeting - they had taken them out to local park and DD1 had had 2 nosebleeds and been sick!
So what I achieved apart from answering the phone all day:-
not alot:o
D/W done
sink clean
sides clear
1 load of washing done/part dried, 1 more in now
put dd's stuff from hoilday away
cooked tea
played monopoly to take DD1's mind off bleeding to death!
that's it!:o

Tomorrow is another day (a slightly more productive one I hope!)

evening!
you had me laughing alot earlier - but i did follow your 'online cooking lesson' with great interest. - if the outcome of that crispy duck is any good i might attempt it too :cool:

not done much today - but i am just so tired!
kitchen is clean though and d/w is ready to get going in a minute.
loads of washing done too and will take the folded one upstairs once i go to bed (in a minute!)
toys are all off the floor; and ds is prepared for 'trick and treating'
meals are planned for the week and shopping done today
and that's about it
will have to sit down tomorrow and come up with a 'list' of things to do i normally avoid to do .. maybe that'll help ...

probably a newbie question: what's star drops??

morning everyone!

thanks pollybear! now i know the pros and cons of stardrops and if it actually exists or not - but i haven't seen it anywhere so far ... so i have to look out for it under every stone now :rolleyes:

anywho
first a big mug of :coffee: for who needs one and of course a :grouphug:

haven't done anything yet - ds sneaked into my bed at 5.20 and i somehow managed to keep him quiet(ish) for another 30min - with lots of shuffling around of course :cool:
so we are up now but not dressed, bed not made ... nothing as i said
will wait till dd wakes (any minute really) and start the day then!

nothing planned for today.
not sure what to put on my to-do-list yet.

so current to-do-list:
- think about what to do today
- stardrops hunt

must phone houseing association to discuss rent issues when seliing DONE
phone EA & tel them to add about the car issue. DONE

Susi - if you are starting with duck- just do the legs- way cheaper & takes way less time to cook :cool:

Morning all flyers,

Thanks to all for the kind welcome, you are a great bunch.

Well I for one am chuffed with the amount of stuff i got done yesterday. It may not seem much to regular flyers but it all got done in such a calm organised manner rather than the usual feeling i have of trying to do ten things at once and not achieving any of them , all the time thinking i also need to get xy&z done!
Thanks for all the motivation and inspiration. :T:beer:

So here is what i got done:
3x bedrooms, beds made, floors swept, clean clothes put away,
Spare bed linen-washed dried and ironed.
Hoovered downstairs.
Dinner cooked and cleaned up after.
Playroom sorted and tidied.
Also had unexpected visitors for about an hour and a half.
Sorted spme space in garage for a freezer, kindly donated by my sister as she dosent need it at the moment.
TV in car boot to be taken to tip.
Charity stuff sorted and in car.
Curtain pole up in sitting room and curtain hung.
And all the usual kiddy stuff, feed, play bathed etc.

So today's plan is:
Get kiddies washed and dressed. Done
Clean kitchen after breakfast.Done
White wash load.Done
Empty DW.Done
Clean out freezer and plug in. Try to put everything back in around it.Done
Tidy spare room.ish
make up the bed in spare room.Done
Contact hairdresser to make appointment.
Contact Dr's re letter.
Tv to tip.Done
Charity stuff to charity shop.


Right better go and make a start, but can anyone tell me why my screen looks funny today, i have no avatars, no thanks or quote buttons, no new thread button and the strio at the top where Martin usually is, is blank.
Can't even ask on the techie board as i cant start a new thread!!

Thanks
Sunny Angel

Roast chook for dinner (wouldn't dare attempt a duck!!);
Sweep floors;
Laundry as per usual;
Water garden.

Would LOVE to clean outside windows, but there is so much dirt around and it's so windy that it's not really worth it.

Have a great day, everyone.

lynzpower - I'm surprised you could find so much to do! you're place is immacculate (sp)!;) :rolleyes:

DeniseNZ - go, go, go:D

Apologies to any I have missed



THIS AINT FLYING, BUT........

Ok - so I've got this duck. i had a look and found loads on here about how to do it (peking duck/aromatic duck/crispy duck/aromatic crispy duck/edd the duck). i really should have written one down and used it, cos I think I've taken an amalgamation of all of them:o

Sooo - took out me bits and bobs - including the fat from inside:D - then went at it like Norman Bates in a bathroom. Put it in a colander and poured a kettle full of water over it. Then I refilled the kettle and boiled the water:o and did it again. Left it for a while. Made up a rub of 5 spice(scary, sporty and the others), pepper, salt and cumin and whacked it all over. Now, I know by rights I should hang it somewhere to ward off evil spirits, but it would just turn into a cat toy and be already shredded when I got home, so I've put it back in the fridge

The plan is that I get home and roast the beast, constantly draining the fat off. Right or wrong?

Back on topic - did 2 DW and a WM and cheated on dinner last night.:T Also did rest of ironing for school/work clothes:D

and we lost to Man City........

Keep going - I'll let you know what it tasted like tomorrow:D
