LJD1_2

Well, i've done;
-two loads of washing
-tidied kitchen that looked like bombs hit it
-sorted five boxes or rubbish, i mean stuff i really wanted!, from the attic
-sorted text books
-cleaned out guinea pigs (sure that's my children's job!)
-gone to b&q for algae cleaning stuff for side path and cleaned it!
-tidied dining room
-sent hubby to tip with lots of rubbish from garden
-emptied bins
-checked over TMA and about to send it off (I think!)
-written out cheque for children's swimming and put all dates of holidays in
diary
-sorted out school uniforms etc for tomorrow.


Wow, put like that i really feel i've acheived something! My reward is to have a nice bath with smellies from christmas, a very large glass of wine and a good book.

Well apart from finding my sons library book (which I have given up doing until he's at school tomorrow ), finish tea (which is in oven, kids have eaten) and bath DS1, 10 mins before bed tonight in living room, wash dinner plates and then that's it until tomorrow. So pleased I got through all those bank statements, were weighing the filing cabinet I just sorted down and it's only wood so was scared would collapse.

LJD1 part of why I like this thread so much is it makes a what is mostly thankless and rarely paid job of doing housework something which can be looked on as being achieved.

Hi LJD and everyone else!

Which OU course are you studying? I'm doing Beginners' Spanish, and need to finish my TMA to post very soon. It can be quite hard to fit everything in: family, work, study, housework, etc, etc, can't it? I am finding this Flylady challenge very useful for keeping on top of things, as I now keep making lots of lists, and really enjoy crossing off completed tasks!

Quick hoover

I'm doing Human Biology, level 2. It's really fasincating but as you've said, it's hard to fit everything else in. Lil_me summed this site up (can't believe i've only just found it), all those little jobs that have to be done and normally I put off because....well, I just do. Today, I actually felt i've acheived something and deserve a break. The added bonus was that my hubby also got the bug so he's done loads too. I've got one child in bed, the other is reading until 8pm then it's time for a treat! Hope everyone's had a good day xx

hi what's comping challenge please?

rach

i've been away all weekend (at a fantastic activity hotel!) so haven;t done any flying (though at least the flat hasn't got messy!!). i've found the days lists i've missed, and will maybe tackle my bedroom tomorrow, depending on what tomorrow's mission is. as i don't have kids most of saturday's list didn;t apply to me

off for a bath now, then will eat up last week's home made soup and get an early night - i'm knackered!!!

:T :T :T

You're spot on there hun

Thanks for the support Moggins - I finally finished the assignment, but no idea if it's what she (tutor) wants She's shot me down a couple of times with regards as to how much work she wants/doesn't want.
I could've answered this one in a few sentences - but there's also a book on the subject:rolleyes: so how is one to know what she requires??? (I'm not the only one who struggles on this) I've done 2 pages on that one (typed is MS font 12). Hopefully it will suffice!

Right, off to do the rest of my 'to do list'. It'll be nice to start the college week with a nice clean house.... (DUCK! - flying pigs!!!)
Hmm, but I really ought to update my spends today too - and I don't want to leave it until tonight because then I'll not get to bed (If I'm spotted online after 10:30pm I'm to be sent into coventry )
Right, best get that done first,
Love and hugs
Kaz xx

Please tell me, am I the only one on here who has lists for all sorts of things? I like crossing them off as done - and yes, on a bad day I have been known to start the list with several things i've already done just so I can feel better when they're crossed off at once??!!

I was so pleased to read this as i thought i was the only one who did it! :rotfl: its very therapeutic

today i have:

done 3 loads of washing and dried one on radiators - resisted urge to dry towels in tumble dryer straight from wm (save money!) and will dry overnight on radiators

cooked dinner

taken girls out for walk and to visit auntie

and done half hour attacking another hotspot in bedroom

am off to empty dishwasher, do few bits of ironing (counts as hot spot too i reckon) and then to write up spending as am now on budget and wanting to keep on top of things

did get uniform ready for preschool yesterday (thanks) and got it out ready tonight - am normally more of last minute person so pleased about that :T

hope everyones had a lovely weekend - see you all tomorrow
