Weekly Flylady Thread 1st November 2010

Hi All :wave:

My evening/afternoon was totally out of my routine, due to a phone call I had just after picking DS up from childminder, I was the 'chosen one' to deliver news to a family member and I had no idea how they would take it:eek: funny how I always get voted for these horrible tasks. Anyhow, its all done now, I have done my bit, sorry to sound so cryptic but its really to hard to get into and I am mentally exhausted, families eh???

I had planned an HHC, then HHI & hollyoaks, then continue painting DD's room but TBH, I don't have the energy tonight

Anyway, hope you have all had a productive day, spoons/hugs/sticks as appropriate, grab one on the way past.
Special love & hugs as always to Lady-L, Toots & Diva

On a lighter note, 6 out of 7 of my ebay items have bids (selling one of them for FIL) but it still counts

Eek! I meant to get today's list done but this is the first time I've sat down since my post this morning. Scary! I've just taken delivery of a £250 Tesco shop and put it away. I hate that part of doing one big shop a month but I love it when it's all away and the cupboards are full again. Only need to get fruit and veg in each week now - that's the theory!

So, shop put away - luckily all the cupboards were organised from yesterday's flying. Another washing load on. Dogs dinner decluttered. Floors mopped and now I'm going to have a bath....haven't the energy for more flying. Will get back on board tomorrow.

Hugs and love as needed xx

evening all

well one parent's evening decluttered...

bits to do but I am trying to tidy.

i wasn't very happy when the alarm rang this morning as, in my dream, I was just about to declutter a room full of carp (little plastic models laid out all over bare floorboards) and create a beautiful, carpeted bedroom for DD there...
I deduce, from this, that I am well and truly hooked on flylady...

scanned through seems y'all need some love...

Manically busy day. I've been to my homestart course which I am really enjoying followed by school pick up and straight to swimming. Home at 6 to make a speedy macaroni cheese to feed the family + the jobless boyfriend who has made a rare appearance, he's had a job interview today so is obviously feeling brave.

DH has another car. The plan is to sell my still keyless car (!!!) and I will drive DH's old car - the lease finishes in April. He has his boss's car and it's very fast. We've had 5 different cars in the last 6 weeks - one of the mums at school said that people are speculating that we have won the lottery. I wish!!!!!!!:rotfl::rotfl:

Just printed out a walk that me and my moonwalking friends are going to tackle on Thursday. I'm really getting into my walks. One of my moonwalk friends gave me my new trainers today and it's like walking on marshmallows. Bliss !

So sorry not had time to read thread today. DH has promised to do the kids in the morning so I will catch up when he does he school run.

Didn't get to do behind the radiators - couldn't find a stick! But I will look again in the garden tomorrow, I'm sure there's a tomato cane somewhere...

Main jobs for tomorrow is to mop through downstairs while DS1 is at school. And more washing. He went through 4 pairs of trousers/pants and did a poo in his pyjama bottoms this morning. Shaking a turd out of the leg of pyjama bottoms at 6am is not my idea of fun... I'm hoping 3 pairs of trousers will be enough for tomorrow morning while he's at school - I'm sure he wont tell anyone if he needs the loo or if he has an accident and I'm a bit worried about it Plus, he wont go on the proper toilet, only the potty and I don't think they have them at school. They have little people toilets but I'm sure he wont be keen. Oh well, he'll get the hang of it eventually...I hope.

So shattered tonight, and I have toothache. Could go to bed now, but need to S&S kitchen and then feed the baby at 10.30. Better get on with it I guess...

Night all, sweet dreams x
