Weekly Flylady Thread 1st August 2011

Mrs_B

I have forgotten all who need hugs, spoons and congratulations - I am feling generous so do help yourself.

I have lists, I have lots of lists - Toots List x 999 at the moment.

However they are great because I am using them to declutter my brain, and they are actually motivating me to get on and deal with some Frogs (why Frogs? Frogs are loverly, and some of my Flylady Frogs most certainly are not!)

However, time before lunch to have a quick tidy round, then I can tackle some of the dirt.

Washing is on the line, so I have to keep checking to see if the threatened rain is coming - although I would like to think that Mr B, who is currently contemplating some concreting under plastic, will let me know!

Apparently not. Lunch is required NOW!

Special thoughts for MrsChaos - hope you can have a good holiday amongst all that is happening.

Had a very slow start to the day so going to feed sb (small boy) then get on with it. Going to gut dd's bedroom with a view to possibly painting one of the walls a sumptious grown up deep purple colour - would have it in my room if dh wasn't sharing with me lol!

Good to see you Dusty
Valli - thanks, sounds good to me. Last time DH made me walk in the peaks he chose something that was virtually sheer, poor boys had to crawl up as neither likes heights.

Today the focus is on cleaning the car ready to sell it later in the week. Be nice if it stopped raining long enough to do a thorough job .....

mrsChaos - hope you have a good holiday and the weather picks up for you! Raining here with intermittent thunder - OH has left in the hope that the weather in Selby will ermit a game of cricket!

I am paint spattered! I have painted the ceiling and above the picture rails in DS's bedroom! DD2 decided to help - but as the room is a box room....

Awaiting lunch - a potato is baking as i type.....

Oooo you're all busy bees! Welcome home Dusty, I hate that job too! Safe journey MrsC.

Thunder, lightning & a chugging big storm has hit the camp site. So I've washed up, had a shower, fed people, tidied round, vacuumed, walked the dog and now I think I might just chill out apart from dog walking duties. Strange having time to do nothing I get twitchy.

Hugs to those who need/want one today xx

Just popping in briefly to say :hello: to dusty and hex. Glad you had a good holiday dusty! I think you can get cedar wood thingies to hang in wardrobes to deter moths.... not sure if they work if you've already go them though.

I don't feel well today - some virus DS2 generously shared with me. My back has been aching all night. Plan to curl up on the sofa all day if I can find a pile of magazines and a book to read...

DS1's bedroom completely cleaned from top to bottom and inside out and not a moth in sight.

Onto either DS2 or 3's next depending on who is in the best mood.

Lil_me hope the rain stops soon.

Serena get well soon vibes for you. Went into the back garden this morning and I'm really pleased with the re planting I did this year; needs a bit of tweaking but doesn't it always.

lil_me

Oh Dusty don't wish that, it will mean having to move, do stuff and fair weather folks will stay, weekend staying groups will drink lots outside loudly, hehe not anti social but I do like quiet when I'm here ..... Terrible aren't I ? I will relax soon enough I'm sure, I've got a book out ready if DP was here he'd be moaning but he's at home/work so boys are reading on their beds and I'm on mine sneaking free wifi

Serena hope you feel better soon xx

I've popped a chicken curry in the slow cooker for later (jar sauce sorry :P ) boys have had some cheese, grapes & crackers. I had a prawn salad.
