Weekly Flylady Thread 30th May 2011

SarahShattered

Evening all. :hello:

Long, but good day at work. I set the children to work this morning. DD1 had to make dinner, (very good job she made of it too) DD2 had the bathroom list. And a darn fine job she made of that too. I always forget how much I actually enjoy flying, but more importantly the results of flying. (esp if someone else does my list :j )

So the bathroom list is more or less done. The computer desk/area is beyond a joke, and will require Mr Shattered and I giving it some serious attention; so I'm giving that a miss for now.
I'm not at work till 1pm tomorrow, so I'll crack on with DD3's room while DD1 &2 can do their own room following the list.

I am catching up on some bits online then will see if I can do a couple of bits to make tomorrow easier. I am changing a couple of the things on the frog list as more important things have come up which if they don't go on there will be put off.

I tried THE dress on today. I feel I should be very excited about finally seeing my own wedding dress but I feel so exhausted that I am just glad to be home. It looked lovely but I feel a bit numb to it, I hope that isn't a bad sign.

I don't think you can use turbolister - says no tools (so before anyone else says it)

I won't be able to list at all, then :rotfl:

lol...Piggers

would you REALLY want the feedback you'd get from the 'lucky' winner though?

I mean - unless you listed him as an utter !!!!head they'd have you under Trades descriptions...

pigpen

Well i'm sure I'd no get much for it anyway.. and I have a third 'not me' account I could use so the feedback wouldn't be an issue!

juliejim

Well 3 boys are in my bed watching a dvd, girls are in DD's room and I'm downstairs with a sleeping bag. Might put a dvd on myself I think.

evening all,
been busy the past couple of days but I don't feel I have a lot to show for it.
DD has been really poorly, a trip to the docs yesterday morning revealed another chest infection (she had one 3 weeks ago), it seems teething is making her more susceptible to picking up bugs, its not much fun. she now has to take antibiotics, prednisolone, an inhaler and calpol, trying to give her that lot 3 times a day is a nightmare, especially as she has now perfected the art of blowing raspberries, making sure the medicine goes in her mouth and not over me is a battle....

so have tried to keep up with the flying but not doing that well, oh well, there's always next week

i also tackled quite a big frog yesterday as I was inspired by some of you, i decided to tackle the dog 'snot' on the walls of the stairs and hallway. I have spent the past couple of years looking at it and thinking, 'i must do something about that' and never got around to it... well it needs another going over but the walls and banisters look soooo much better, dogs are disgusting!!!
and as there is so much gardening to do I have added HHG to my dailies once DD has gone to bed, although tonight i did 2 x HHG and so have managed to clear one or two things from my lists. I'm afraid my list of 10 has hardly been touched this week though, maybe I can get a couple done tomorrow as we have a bit of a quieter day.
