Weekly Flylady Thread 2nd August 2010

That's the landing sorted. All the car boot stuff has been sorted and put in the dining room. The stuff to go in the attic has been bagged & labelled and is on the landing waiting for OH to put it in there. I've slung a black bag of rubbish and various bits of wood OH has been saving just incase have gone on the bonfire pile, if he wants to keep them he can take them to his house. I also hoovered before putting the attic stuff back. It looks so much better now, it'll be even better once it's completely clear.

My list now looks like this

hollyh - give it back right now! My GUAG, you've got it haven't you, stamps feet.

Not getting anywhere useful today but did manage HHG. I need to search out an old piece of paper now so expect that will take up the time until tea and tennis. Another day gone, another day when the bathroom did not get cleaned.
