Weekly Flylady Thread 11th April 2011

  • Hi all
    Thanks for the thread.
    Last week I fell off the flying wagon. That's two in a row. Not this week for sure.
    Makes me much happier if I fly as it means I have a list and can tick stuff off. Had a HHE this morning by mistake when I went to take DD to school and my car wouldn't work :(
    Off to write out my list, tick off what I've done and crack on with the rest before DH comes home for his half day :T

  • Count me in for this week.

    I wasn't about last week as I hurt my back last Sunday and didn't fly at all as a result and boy, does it show. This week i'm hoping for a level 1 (may be more if back doesn't give out again) The boys are home from school and ds1 has promised me he will tidy his bedroom today:eek: (I'll believe it when I see it) but i think it is a sweetner as it's my birthday today, 21 again, :cool: and .....dh might have done the ironing by the time I'm home from work. I'll be back with my list when I have something to cross off.

    only problem is while i was sorting the kitchen i thought dd2 was playing quietly in the lounge, actually she emptied the toy box all over the lounge, hall, utility & dining room :eek: mental note to self a 3yo can't play quietly & keep the place tidy :p

    back later off to sort the clean washing & tackle the dining room

    All my HHCs seem to run over, but at least I'm getting stuff done. DS2 has cleared the hotspot at the bottom of the stairs! :T Next job is to hoover the cleared space and sort lunch, as DH will be home soon (He works at the bottom of the road on Mondays.) and DS2 is going to get on with some homework.

    Happy Birthday, Need more time!
