Weekly Flylady Thread 9th August 2010

Winchelsea

Was WOKEN at 8.30 this morning by the doorbell. Thought it was part of my dream. Came to, thought "I don't think I'm expecting anything", opened the door - and there were DSIL, DGS4 and DGD5!

I'm doing a bit of child care today! Will take them out later, but they are chilling out on the sofa ATM, exhausted as just back from their hols. So, must do a bit of Flying.

Have had a go at the bathroom, but not much more than a S&S - gave it a thorough go last week. Need to do the spare bedroom today, as DGS1 is coming tomorrow to spend a night.

Good luck with your day everyone!

its hospital day for me, so i'm bra-less, feels very strange but at least my knees are warm.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

wishing well base done including card slot. Needs covering with patterned paper but I would say I'm a third of the way there with completion planned out in my head...I;m definitely a 'think things through' person and can mentally plan a project and 'walk through it' in my head - a real skill IMHO I have photos of the project to show you later. The base is a hexagonal prism;)

what do you think of this verse to put on the Wishing Well? (what I wote my self *glow*)

Thank you for coming to join in the fun
And celebrate with us as two become one.
Please deposit your cards and your wishes inside
And I'll keep them safe for the Groom and the Bride.

have been on hold to tax credits for 17 mins now - this is one handed typing!

Welcome home AnWs - perfect drying weather - warm and windy. I have washing out and it is drying beautifully!

I want to get the house up to a tidy enough level for a cleaner to come in

Similar impetus here to get house clean, but its the roof needs doing and electrics checking. Couldn't possibly have anyone here to work the state house is in!!:eek:

Level one and a few other bits done. Going to make DS1 lunch, and do dishes while he eats, then hoover living room floor before putting him down for a nap, then while he's napping mop the living room floor and feed myself and bub, and give the laptop a wipe

Someone told me about this air spray you can get for cleaning crumbs from under keys on a keyboard, but everywhere I've looked it's really expensive - I'm not spending £10 on a can of air! Does anyone know where I can get it cheaper?

I got mine reduced in Wilkos but their's is the cheapest I have found even at full price.

Having said that I find the patented Valli method MUCH more effective.
Shut down PC and disconnect keyboard (if a PC). Take it outside and invert and, using a stiff dry clean paintbrush vigorously (sp?) brush the keyboard. With a lappy I would have two people - one to hold firmly and one to brush.
