Weekly Flylady Thread 14th March 2011

Mrs_B

Morning lovely Flyladies.

If there's anyone up and raring to go I'm off to do a HHC at 5.30.

Didn't manage to finish tidying up after my baking yesterday evening so want to finish that so I come home to a neat kitchen after work tonight - and then I can catch up with what's been going on here too.

Just off to send a couple of e-mails, then I'll be doing my HHC. Oh, and I'd better confess now - hair and make up most certainly not done, slippers on tootsies and certainly not dressed as per required Flylady standards. :eek: :rotfl:

I'm rather late to join you Mrs B as I was checking my bank account before I came on here but I have already stripped DD's bed and the bedding is in the WM and I'll go and start another one now!

Hi! I've been checking on the internet banking too! My WM has now just finished, DW nearly there and BM also on. I shall be ready for bed again by 10.30am at this rate! Have managed to keep up reasonably well this week, tho' as DS is in hospital again I've had other things on my mind as well as HW!

Mrs_B

Thanks juliejim.

It's surprising how much you can achieve when you actually limit it to 30 minutes.

All the baking stuff is now either washed, dried and put away, or at worst, still draining. :T

Thanks for the reminder to empty the WM. Would have helped if I'd remembered to press "send" on my e-mail before starting my HHC but at least that's gone now.

Just off to write up an invoice, then need to declutter DH from bed!

See you all later.

Morning

How late/early are you lot?!

We have our red clothes ready for school/work.

Hope you all have a good day.

Only just back from the HHC that started yesterday at 12.30pm - I carried on until 10pm when I had a bath then collapsed into bed :eek:. NF said 'you can't tell you have visitors coming at the weekend! - the baby will probably puke on your carpet' :rotfl:

Confuzzling myself staring at gas/electric options - and that is after checking the views on MSE.
However sun is shining so off into town.
