Yet more financial faux pas and many other disasterous decisions

Aw didn't mean to do a moolight flit guys, just forgot to do a linky from the old to the new *slaps self on wrist and writes 100 times moo is v. naughty*

Clearly moo is not as naughty as the demonic daughters who arrived home from pony school in disgrace after OH was informed by the instructor that DD2 had been caught licking sweets and returning them to the box. Having quizzed them about this they denied all knowledge and then fatally changed their story twoce more. OH waded in with rather substantial punishment before discovering that she'd been copying the instructors 17 year old daughter who had also been the one to rat on her to mummy. Means today will not be spent standing around in the rain at the stables. Which is probably just as well.

I forsee an afternoons pink grapefruit maramalade making instead.... just need to survive a morning of housework first.

Completed an entire pounds woth of One Poll surveys yesterday taking me a smidgen closer to payout. Need to do a P!necone one at some point and parcel up another Amazon sale. Have yet more stuff to list on flea-bay too. It'll be fun fun fun. Did pottle on to Amazons latest addition, the text book trade-in thingie but it turns out they don't want 15 year old editions. Can't think why. Will be donating them to DD1s new high school library as reference books.

Plans for today do not involve sitting on my bum surfing the net and you tube music, really they don't, even though thats far more enticing than the alternatives on offer.

Hell's teeth!!! In a week? And you'd manage it in a month? I don't think I do this much in a year!

I've made a start .... or at least OH has. Persuaded him to assist in the reorganisation of the wardrobe aka as chucking out as much of his stuff as possible. Have already done mine several times over. Filled another bin bag of stuff and have four suits to do something with. Vaguely wondered about E-baying them but they're all a bit odd and none of them are designer anything. Can't even begin to think what posessed OH to buy pale a green suit. Guess they're destined for the 50p a kilo cash for clothing place. At least that gets them out of the way sooner rather than later.

Wardrobe emptied, vacuumed and clothes returned, have several dozen surplus hangers to bin. Have washed up and done two loads of laundry but am rapidly running out of what little enthusiasm I had.

Disinfected one kitchen cupboard... unintentionally I might add. There came the batle cry "theres a rat in the house" followed by the appearance of the kitten hotly pursued by the one eye'd cat and the hound from hell. Several circuits of the house later the hound from hell had taken possession of the corpse and was persuaded to part with it in exchange for a chew. In her excitement at the opening of the treat cupboard she spat out the rat with considerable force and thus the rat came to rest in and amongst the cereal boxes. Corpse disposed of along with all the external cereal packaging and cupboard obsessively cleaned.

AM avoiding doing anything in the dining room which is strewn with an array of smelly riding kit in varying stages of dampness and several more grimy bits of land rover. May well concentrate my efforts upstairs in the hopes that I have at least one nice room at the end of the day even if its the only one that visitors never see. I suspect inviting people into my boudoir would gain me something of a reputation.

Have stopped for a cuppa part way through cleaning the fridge. Admitedly I got a bit side tracked and have grated 3kg of carrot whichis now bathing in cider vinegar ready for chutneying tomorrow... wandered down the garden with the carrot peel for the chooks, returned with a bucketful of giant mutant ninja spuds... seriously... some of them are the size of bricks.... and several strawberries would have had more had not the hound from hell insisted on barging past me to scoff them first.

Who put all the exclamation marks in the Fly Lady list? Is it supposed to make it seem fun?! *ironic exclamation mark*

I'm sure they weren't there when I last attempted the challenge (some 12 months or so ago...) LiIfe is really too short for that level of obsession

If I don't put my contact lenses in, I can't see the dust (or anything else).

I think they're they to warn those of us who are slovenly hos that these tasks may be hazardous to health... take:

Empty and wash out the bin.. make it smell sweet!

as an example

This is clearly FlyLady code for "gingerly open the door to the cupboard where liveth the dustbin and awaiteth the cascade of detritus left by the previous players of the household game of avoideth the emptying of the dusbin by cramming just one more item on top and slamming the door v. quickly (clearly the inspiration for Buckaroo). At this stage one should don marigolds and have a giant bin bag at the ready as the amount of stuff crammed into the v. small recptacle will be most impressive. Placing a clothes peg on ones nose is advisable since the bottom most item will have transformed to its liquid state. It is advisable at this stage to rinse out the bin from afar using a hosepipe before filling with disinfectant and leaving for quite some time. Rince thrice more and return from whence it came."
