Weekly Flylady Thread 6th June 2011

Pernicious

Hello everyone,

Hope you don't mind a newbie amongst you, I have taken a looksey at this thread before but always been terribly put off thinking I couldn't possibly do all that...:o But I think it's time I gave it a go properly, even if I only do one thing a day that will help keep the place cleaner & therefore a less stressed me with a bit of luck! I'm one of those people who just never seem to have enough hours in the day.

So today I will aim to do level 1 - starting off small However I'm not entirely sure what a "frog list" is :rotfl: From reading the first page of the thread I will assume it's a list of things you've been meaning to do for a while but never get round to? If so, I will be able to make an extremely long frog list! I think I will check out last week's thread to double check this & then pop back on here to read the rest of this thread, it certainly seems to move fast. I will also be doing a binbag dance this evening as the binmen come tomorrow!

Anyway I will probably end up lurking more than posting to ensure I keep up with at least the level 1 tasks, but just wanted to say hello & thank you for the tips!

aRRGGH..LO just had a major allergic reaction to egg....there was a cracked egg on the worktop which was to be thrown away....it cracked all over his t-shirt and floor i took his t-shirt off straight away and he ran upstairs as the floors had just been washed and I wasnt too happy...cleaned up the egg then went to find him and he was covered in blotches and his face was starting to swell:eek::eek:

Picked him up and flew downstairs...chucked piriton down him and threw him in the shower...thankfully swelling is no worse but he is still itchy and blotchy...hope piriton kicks in soon or will be phoning an ambulance......

Hope you both are alright. Very scarey. Did you know he was allergic? My DS2 is anaphalatic to nuts and we have to carry epipens.


washing done nothing else:o

My older boys are allergic to loads including nuts and eggs...both have Epipens so it was on the cards he would be too but it is the first time he has reacted to anything edible....thing is he never ate any...it only touched 2 of his fingers ....will have to mention it at allergy clinic next time we go...think he will need epipens after such a bad reaction....DD1 took pictures so they can see Im not over reacting ....he has reacted badly to horses before...severe reaction to them.

Lily pollen dealt with
Hedge minced
Fire burned so there is room for more snotty tissues and junk mail now lol
Girls outside filling a plant pot with stones

Candle lit to combat the burning smell.. which seems a very strange thing to do!

My house is a pit

We are lucky then only to be nuts (mildly to strawberries). DS2 was going into hospital to have a trial attack to see how severe but his last skin test was so big they daren't do it.

HHC on hold as DS1 has had trouble at school
