Weekly Flylady Thread 21st February 2011

happycrafter_2

oh my gosh didnt know I had art that may be worth some money in the future and its all round my house!

no wonder he goes quiet and hides under the table when I clean his "art" off all the doors. this morning he put his nice muddy paws all over the armchair in the window (he had been out to check on the chickens) luckily its leather so I can wipe it down.

will be catching up with flying tonight in the middle of making birthday pressies and charity crocheting/knitting.

Hex, dont eat all those cakes - you will regret it:)

to all those who have recently lost someone dear - condolences:(

didn't find listy before back at work, but managed to declutter a little bit more of the back landing [our landing is sort of T shaped]

also while decluttering some WD40 I sprayed hinges, and anything else that was creaky :T screwed some loose hinges back, so doors now open and close without sounding like the Adams Family, plus cobwebs and dust have gone :T

We've been to the pictures and to the pub for lunch. I've come back, put washing on the line, washed the dog's bedding and brushed the dog.

LW/nixie/happycrafter we could have an exhibition! Guess which dog?:rotfl::rotfl:

Only problem is mine doesn't decorate a window. He decorates one wall in the dining room.It is the high traffic area to the kitchen so it ensures he gets lots of attention:eek:

ETA pigpen Just asked for facebook access. I did wonder where all these gorgeous photos were.

While you have the screwdriver out, could you possibly see to the loose screw that Mr LW is convinced I have, please?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Ooh, and if you could put some WD40 on my squeaky joints, that'd be grand.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hi Everyone,

Not much to do then.....:cool:

Off I go, but not before I say happy birthday Hex

Also, sorry to hear of sad losses and not great hospital results.
You are all in my thoughts

Of course I did, sockdrawer. Apologies - the flying today must have gone to my head. I'll go back and amend the original post.

The bathroom is still a WIP, but I've had enough for today and the rest mostly requires daylight, anyway. Left to do are: light fitting, outside of loo, skirting, base unit under sink, door + frame, window + frame and floor. Also two plastic drawer units if I feel really energetic. I will have my bath later, though.

And someone must have told Small Cat the vet's opening hours, as she's not come for her tea yet. ETA She arrived at 6.25 - the vet closes at 6.30. Roll-eyes smilie, anyone?

Who wants a 10 year old girl who's doing my head in at the moment - more attitude in her little finger than I could do in a year!! Face pulling and b!tching about something and nothing is becoming her favourite past time, guess who is washing up by hand [and its all the stuff that would normally go in the DW]
