Weekly Flylady Thread 27th June 2011

Making progress ... My bed and spare bed stripped and bedding washed (last lot still on the line) so I have an ironing mountain I've moved all the bedroom furniture and hoovered, dewebbed and washed the floor. Landing has been cleared and the floor washed. Bathroom floor has also been washed. Need to go spend some time on my presentation before dealing with more domestic stuff. I have more presentations I need to write, but I'm not sure I'll manage it. However, I will feel better going away knowing the house is clean, and have started making enquiries about getting some help with the cleaning. Although I can manage most of the time, travelling really causes problems.

Cake collected for sis's OH's b-day
Front room, back room and hallway vacuumed and looking pretty.. OH sat and watched!!!!

My back hurts so much I could cry.. I am really hoping it isn't my kidneys starting up again..

Squeak playing in the jumperoo..

Off to sort DD1's CoD's once monsterchops is asleep.. and I may make a start on the girly pit.. again. I want to get some ebay pics done of DS3's stuff too.. FLING! I can gradually list them over the next week.. I have 2 items to post too.

Going to go and water the garden for a bit (and ignore the phone ringing AGAIN)


Didn't go to Pets At Home today, but did pop into pet shop by the market and got their majesties some Applaws and Orijen, as, in the absence of any small jumping things on them, there has to be another reason for Queen Meep to be looking a bit threadbare - so I wondered about improving the food quality. She practically threw herself headfirst into the bowl, so I don't see her complaining about this development :cool:

Oh, and I'm giving them a trial on the 'World's Best Cat Litter' in an attempt to save me some cash by scooping and flushing the nasties, rather than bin bagging the lot. I may still go to PAH tomorrow if Minion goes out with her friends, but I might not either



Going to be one of those weekends, I fear. Lots of shopping and not much housework.

Ah well, I still have wine.

Sparky coming monday or tuesday evening....:D

Boys loving there new room, mind you Rhys is still keeping them awake.:rotfl:

Did hear today that one of the bullies (the boy who screamed in DD's hearing aids and would nip her when he went past) had a go at 3 other boys at breaktime on the last day of school, one is bruised up his side, another has a broken hand and the other had to have 2 adult teeth removed. Thank goodness i pulled her out when i did.:eek:

Not much flying done since my last post, just 2XDW. I suppose i should go and get the washing of the line. It's been there 3 days..:o

Tomorrow morning, i want to get the 'soft furnishings' washed (stuff the cats sleep on) and on the line.

House looking bit better than at beginning of week, started well, but I had a migraine on wednesday that hadn't really gone till today... Made birthday cake that mother came & picked up for her to share with camera club, also made 2 dozen rosewater & pistachio cupcakes to take round to mothers tomorrow afternoon. I'll make the icing before karate but as we'll be going on the bus, I'll have to ice them at mums, & bring all my icing stuff home...

Washing machine loaded with school shirts to put on in the morning, washed up cake stuff... now off to bed.
