Weekly Flylady Thread 2nd May 2011

Mumof2_2

MAJOR success on the decluttering front - got rid of the swing, trike and DH has given away the moped that was taking up some of the back garden :j:j:j. I'm starting to feel that he's in it with me and he will do his best to get this house the best he can; he's out now putting a new gate in the chicken pen so it's easier for me to get to them.

Flying wise, um, hung up a few things that are wet after putting all the dry stuff away/to be ironed. Got to go and do the rest now as got interrupted when people turned up for the stuff. Oh, and have emptied kitchen bin and done a binbag dance as it's the black bin day tomorrow. Also washed out our bedroom bin. So there, done more than I thought but still not very much.

Haven't read fred but love, hugs and spoons to all xx

Happy Birthday Triker, have fun on the boat

Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone, how lovely...great cakes too....mmm got some ideas, though I'm a little perturbed by the multi coloured Rosie one, remarkable resemblence after a heavy night out that...:rotfl:

Had a great time on the canal boat yesterday, we went to a beautiful spot and sailed through quite a few locks. It did rain but it was such a great experience.

I sailed the boat, well steered it, very zigzaggy at about 2 miles an hour , did the locks and just had a great day.
Headed back home to family where I had a cake, champagne and chocs.
Lovely day, finished off with an Indian takeaway and watching Son's of Anarchy series 3 (which I procured from ebay, it's not been shown yet in the UK) so all in all a lovely day.

Ahem...unfortunately today we found a 'present' from the cat in my daughter's washing basket...in her dirty washing....put it this was it wasn't a birthday present...

Hope everyone is having a productive day, off to bung more washing in and stare at the cat...

Good afternoon everyone

Another night of no sleep but I did manage to declutter a few hours when OH took dogbot for a walk.
We had to go look for a fridge freezer this morning as our went and died on friday but I only realised yesterday, so all the food had to be thrown out:mad:. So our new one should be being deliever on Wednesday but we have nowhere to store fresh stuff until then so its going to be daily trips to the supermarket.
I dont think there will be much flying except for dailies done today but I really could do with getting some ironing done.

Been swimming - 14 lengths and 6 widths - come back, cooked dinner and eaten it. Now I just want to collapse in a heap.

Nearly the end of the weekend, I really don't enjoy my weekends without the kids today I have spent a couple of hours at the allotment, put more spuds in, carrots , parsnips, spring onions and general tidy up.

At home I have WM x1 and now drying on the line, planted up 2 hanging baskets, washed up and thats about it, very lazy really, but not feeling very motivated today x
