Weekly Flylady Thread 1st August 2011

Dustykitten

I've not stopped all day.

DS2 room done top to bottom and inside out now too plus the landing.

Every crevice hoovered
Blind hoovered
lampshades banged outside
All furries banged outside
beds changed, hoovered, new duvet for DS2 and all new bedding
curtains removed for washing
all clothes removed from wardrobe, inspected, shook, wardrobes hoovered inside and wiped

WM has not stopped all day. Huge pile in the hallway awaiting washing and 2 more bedrooms to do yet.

Rest of the house is unbelievable but I'm just thinking one room at a time, methodical and it will all be done. Target is by Friday to have all bedrooms done, HSL, airing cupboard, bathroom, shower room and hopefully be starting on the living room - will see how that pans out.

im currently decluttering some vodka.

its my reward for decluttering a cupboard by accident while trying to find all the lids for my jelly moulds. i did not find all the moulds. i think the midgets have been playing with them. shall find them in some random place in about 2 weeks time i think lol.

Well, best laid plans and all that stuff.

It started raining, so, instead of having Mr B busy outside and out of my efforts to defluff, he was underfoot. Change of plan and I started to go through my "Admin" tray - which I do tackle every Sunday (yes, I know, it's not Sunday) but tend to lose concentration once I've paid the bills.

Anyway, every piece of paper has been out - most of which it appeared could be filed - and, since Flylady caused me to go out and buy myself a super cheap concertina file at the beginning of the year, it was a simple case of putting everything in the right slots.

Overflowing tray now reduced to things that I actually do have to deal with (add to Toots List).

I also found just over €5, which is annoying since I've had my Irish holiday for this year.

Lots of dog hairs decluttered now, and a triple helping of Ale Cakes made.

Quite a constructive day all in all - even if it wasn't what I intended to start with.

See you tomorrow.

Vanilla - do you want to come over and do my decorating?

I'm already starting to regret pulling all out but it's too late now. How i love to do it to myself..:rotfl:

My sister has been trying to talk me into going shopping with her and my mum tomorrow but i can't be bothered. House is a total tip so i think my time would be better spent trying to sort it out. Hubby needs to leave PIL to the bus station for 7 tomorrow morning so i'll throw dinner into the sc then. Then i can give him a hand with the cattle and stuff.

Tomorrows list.
1) Clear bedroom of flaky paint
2) meassure wood needed for window
3) clear and hoover hall
4) take more flaky paint off
5) undercoat other side of door
6) meal plan for week
7) get kids bathed
8) clear and clean kitchen
9) clear and clean bathroom
10) sort appointments and meds for week
11) clear and clean fire, get it oiled
12) hoover right through
13) wash kids bedding
14) sort money for the week
15) clear car out

Dorastar

Dd away so have gutted her room - yuck - she is not a princess, too much rubbish under her mattress and thankfully she is not asthmatic as there was a shameful amount of dust behind her 3/4 level bed:o.

Tomorrow will be sorting out and rehoming (charity and bin) a load of stuff she will have no idea she has in order to make life easier for us all. Have decided to cut right back on all our clothes as we are regularly gifted plenty by in-laws, nana and friends with older children so am going to pass more on to others.

Valli

I want some sympathy (pathetic wimp that I am) I'm covered in hives which I presume are midge bites (makes me think of my late, beloved Great Aunt who used to call them midgets) and they IIITTTCCCHHH

you might want to rethink the walk, Hex!

Dustykitten

Valli - I will give you sympathy by the bucket load my dear. I've got a large bite on my shoulder and one on one of my fingers. DS2 and DS3 have some too. Do you have some anti H you can take? Hope they do not keep you awake.

I've done all the ironing for now although the maidens are full of more stuff by the AGA. Ironing basket checked for moths and hangers all stashed by size.

Surprisingly not tired yet but not in the mood for paperwork so think I'll call it a day and take some catalogues up to bed (white stuff and Peter N unopenned) and have a browse.

Tomorrow I must food shop - actually I'll do a quick meal plan too before bed and need to do our room so DH can pull out our very heavy wardrobe and CofDs for me to do behind.

Squeak seems to have been eaten as well.. but I think that may be something to do with defleaing cats and her rolling about all over the stupid furry fools.

Finished cream cardy for Dot.. needs sewing up but ill do that in my tea breaks tomorrow.. started a white one which hopefully wont take as long.

Dot has decided to be breech.. and has feet hammering on my cervix... it is not only very painful but it feels like it will be being decluttered very soon if it doesnt stop.. naughty baby!.. best part is it means both my hips are incredibly painful rather than just one and both my feet are huge and swollen.. oh the joy!

Bedtime for me I think...

I have purchased 2 wedge seat cushions for Moomin and Tiddles for when they go back to school.. I dont think ESPD are bothering to do anything about the referral which was made months and months ago or OT who we have been waiting to see for 2 years so far so I sorted it.. I found them reduced from £20 to £9 (though the pink were £15!) so bought 2.

Tiddles home tomorrow

Right i'm half awake, hubby away leaving PIL in to catch their bus but we're both very tired today after a crappy night's sleep. I can't wait to get the bedroom done as i hate sleeping in the livingroom.

Right i best go find my list and make a start..:D

Morning

Got caught up a bit yesterday. 15 arrived for a planned bbq, and it took my day up. Most of the clearing up is done.

Other daily lists are all done

Hope you are all ok
