Weekly Flylady Thread 2nd May 2011

dorajar

!0 oclock and kitchen looking sparkling. At least until OH gets back from walking the dog. Back to work today so shattered and didn't get to do kitchen until I got back with kids from swimming club and made tomorrows lunches. Still it's done now and I really do appreciate the lists to help me keep on top of things. ~Done level 1 and 2 tasks so not too bad. DS has cricket match tomorrow so will be late again but hopefully I wont lose a day of the weekend to housework if I am flying in the week.

I am, however, thinking that as long as I actually wake up at a reasonable time in the morning, I could put up with this - after all, there is iPlayer if I feel the need to shout at the telly occasionally (now Masterchef has finished, there has to be something to focus my sarcasm upon).

May I suggest 'Fast Food Baby'? It was on BBC3 tonight. 3 families who feed their babies fast food. One family had takeaways 5 nights a week on average. The Dad actually said 'I cant control what he eats' when discussing his 19 month old son! I did quite a lot of shouting at the tv tonight.

Toots - that is far too much for one day - I am jealous, you are pushing your luck!!! Glad you are able to use your buggy now, you need a blanket for your knees - it it's good enough for the Queen it's good enough for you. Lots of love xx

Cricket was good, a wicket and a 4 means a happy chappy
