Weekly Flylady Thread 13th December 2010

lil_me

Soappie happy final day for tomorrow, I don't know how you've coped doing that I'd have gone stir crazy but like you said sometimes needs must and at least they have recognised you can do much much more. Enjoy your day x
Greenbee hope the appointment goes ok
Mudders pleased to hear you've got yours, I'm a bit more hopeful as mine said sent on 7th and out with courier on 11th but when I phoned today they said they have a huge backlog
LW hope you are ok x
Missus Aka....I fly best in my PJs, yes after the school run I sometimes clamber back into them. I do wonder if it's because I don't mind them getting mucky
Jassa ((hugs)) to you too
Kazm what a shame about the snow, go get your boy and enjoy having him home x
Dusty, what does that attach to? Only asking as when I did comparisons the site even said our usage was extremely high and to check figures

Busy busy day. Kids now sorted for Christmas apart from things we're waiting delivery of. I just hope they come with all the warnings in the newspapers. We still need other peoples gifts but I got really flustered at the traffic and queues so came home I think everyones seen the forecast and gone out shopping....so I am going to try on Sunday when it has snowed. We've managed to clear 6 boxes of clutter with the boys tonight from the toy room, so tomorrow we should be able to shift enough around to get the new cabinet built and installed. I wanted to get the boys stuff bought incase they end up on snow days Thursday/Friday.

We've also sorted the garage out, so can now fit the table in when it arrives tomorrow....hopefully. Also means any carbooty stuff (yes I am considering doing one next year) can go in there. I'm actually now cross with myself that we've bought furniture that needs building and given us more work before Christmas but I know it will be beneficial. Done several bin bag dances elsewhere too, I just hope the snow comes later on Thursday so we can have our bins emptied before it starts. 5 weeks last year and the tips being closed left the street a mess.

Right tomorrow

Boys to school and declutter a spare TV with a neighbour
Washing 2 loads minimum, DW empty and refill
Declutter minimum 2 bin bags
Help DP build cabinet & install TV etc into play room
Shift carbooty stuff and suitcases to garage
Sort all our cardboard out and take to tip
Start sorting DSs clothes 'pile' think there will be a few sacks for nephew I can declutter on Saturday

Oh and plan possible trip to Manchester next week. DPs Dad coming back from Dominican where they have had very heavy rain and thunderstorms all but one day (they are out for 22 nights) and they were planning to travel back by train .....the day after the worst snow is forecast for. Oh dear....

I have a question... does anyone have any tips on cleaning out a microwave?

I soak mine with flash spray and wipe.. I make sure any spillages are cleaned up immediately so the don't get baked on .. I learned eventually

lil_me

Microwave - some of us never learn I find putting a bowl of boiling water in for a few minutes to steam the forgotten yuk off then rubbing everything down helps. Non scratch scourer occasionally needed on mine. Never heard of the slice of lemon bit...

Can't sleep, again. Getting bored of it now, considering during the day I'm nearly nodding off all the time.
