Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd January 2011

pigpen

2 huge binbags decluttered to the wheelie.. that is one bin full 5 days before binday (think they are coming Thursday this week.. I'll check)
Dates updated in my phone calendar and my diary
DD3's school shoes replaced.. they are velcro ones and I aid if they stop being velcro-y in the first 2 months I WILL be taking them straight back.. DD was VERY sensible and refused to even try on any of the ones with dolls in the bottom as the insides always collapse.. HA! The lady in the shop was mortified when she brought a pair out and my immediate response was 'They are HIDEOUS!!!'.. apparently it came across a little strong.. I'm just glad I didn't swear lol.. they were like Mr Men brogues.. for a girl?!?!?!
Composting also out
2 boxes of christmas gibble upstairs

Baby had an hours nap.. before being woken up.
Half a cow in t'oven for dinner.. not sure what they are having it with though *shrug*

I might go throw out some more carp now my roses sugar rush has kicked in..

Excellent - DH has kept promise and put kitchen back as it was before so looking good again (I'm shutting my eyes to all the builders stuff in the corner obviously).

Bathroom bits had a good clean - it's amazing how filthy things get even when you do stay on top of them!

Study - Did the clearing off of the desk and giving it a good wipe - behind the monitor was an eyeopener. I've never seen such a disgusting collection of dust and cat hair in one place - amazed DH and I are still alive.

Right, off to finish a pear and ginger trifle (making, not eating) and start a chicken casserole off for friends coming tonight. Going to have a lovely time and not think about anymore housework till tomorrow.

Have a great evening everyone - don't work too hard!

Hugs for your Dad Helen he's in the best place....

Well, the sun did finally pop its head out after lunch so I've a line of washing out. And I went and got provisions so I don't need to do that tomorrow.

Helen sorry to hear that your Dad's so poorly again.:(

As we don't have any canine guests at present, work has today commenced on replacing the kitchen door. So Flying could be ...er... interesting next week!

The smoke alarm has gone off twice, because of all the wood dust, that it obviously thought was smoke.

I've washed and dried the bedlinen, and done a machine load of Mr LW's clothes.

Need to make the bed up with clean linen - must remember to do that before we want to get in it! Also need to turn the mattress; don't worry Toots, I promise I won't attempt doing that by my self!:D

Not sure how fraught things will be here early next week, so just in case I don't post for a day or three, don't worry, in the best Terminator fashion, "I'll Be Back!";)

helen ..hope your dad gets better soon bless him x
been to mil for lunch and was so full i could hardly move but dd and i went for a long walk with our dog so that has helped lol .
it was funny at lunch , after mil and i had spent about an hour washin and wiping up i opened the wrong cupboard and found a dw stuffed with carrier bags and cereal boxes .when i asked her why she had never used it she said she thought it might cost too much money and cause a flood love her lol x

helen (((hugs))) for you and your dad. yes he is in the best place and I am sure they are doing everything possible to control the pneumonia - the AB's will help. Try to be upbeat with the children and take them in as soon as possible so they can see with their own eyes that he is poorly but being looked after. I am also worried about you! you havent slept properly and are quite naturally worried stressed and up to 90 - please try and rest - maybe even get something from the doc - make sure you are eating high energy healthy foods to keep you going even if only nibbling - its very important to take care of yourself in case your Dad or Mum or the children need you! You are in my thoughts and prayers xx
aj fingers crossed they have a date free for you - enjoy the fair - I am sure you will get loads of ideas:eek:
Aunty Crafty :T:T:T well done with your lists
Ishtar thats great about Mum - everything crossed that it stays that way (((hugs)))
neveah awh bless her - I hope you have now got her organised to use it.

toots xx

Hello all

Haven't posted on here much this week but pretty much managed to keep on top of things despite being back at work. Wanted to sit down with DH tonight and discuss finances but he's had a major row with his old man so timing isn't good! Maybe next week....

Toots are you better from your chest infection? Hope so, bluddy takes it out of you though doesn't it?


I have a hopping chicken, my silkie has a poorly leg/foot...she was fine this morning, then I checked this afternoon and she was limping badly. W e checked and cleaned her feet but she was still bad although chirping away as she does...hope she's better tomorrow.

Need to eat something as very hungry. x
