Weekly Flylady Thread 9th August 2010

Mumto5

Right I'm now dressed and am muching my breakfast as I type. Need to dress little ones. DS2 has just surfaced from his cave and is bossing DS3 about on the Wii.

DD2 helped me wipe all the paintwork down in the hall. She slopped alot of water about but I need to mop the tiles so it doesn't matter. It's amazing how happy she is. She's such a Mummy's girl.

I have a lady from Homestart coming to talk to me about being a volunteer. I need to find something to fill my time when DD2 starts school in September. They are running a training course on Tuesdays until mid December so that should do nicely.

Anyone join me for a HHC 10 - 10.30?

Thanks for all the welcomes guys! Its been ages since I was last here. Started working fulltime and its taken all I've got to make sure there is food on the table every night and just normal daily stuff!!
I've added my extras on in red as these are challenges I've set myself for this week whilst I'm off. I do feel like poop this morning, so will be taking it easy, I think and plus its actually sunshining so we will defiantly be getting out of the house shortly! We went for a carvery for my Nan's 89th b'day yesterday and I don't know whether I ate something that disagrees with more or something but I was up half the night.
Did try to have a little lie in as the kiddies just come in my room and put the tele on, but the council are doing something to all the walls and the builders have been here with their bloody loud machines since 7am!
Anyway, first things first - get kids dressed!! (Can't believe it is actually 9:45 and they are not yet dressed!!)

Morning all,

Pops head up to say hi :wave:its been a while since i have posted but i have been lurking. Back to work/school next week - its gone by far too quickly even with the wet weather - so i need to get the house in shape before then as i am still doing full time for the first 4 weeks at least.

We are due to meet friends for lunch but will make a start decluttering firstly myself to the shower and then the LR so that hopefully when we come home i can get the started on the dusting and hoovering.

I didn't touch any of the ironing last week so need to tackle it soon. Going to see what I can do from the list this week but I am not sticking to any level, anything will be better than nothing.

Thanks to our illustrious leaders. I have no idea what has been happening so hugs to anyone who needs or wants one x I will maybe catch you for some HHCs during the week.
