Weekly Flylady Thread 8th August 2011

Hi all

Evening job after day job so no flying until 9pm.

Since I've been home

WM x 2
Cleaned bathroom
Cleaned shower room
Washed floors in both
Washed tiles down in both

Pigpen my WM does 7kg and the difference it made when it was me, late OH and his children's clothes (they only came at weekends but the clothes they went through amazed me! To you mums I guess that's the norm?) so 11kg will make such a difference to you (and your bills too).

Goodnight x

One of mine is 7kg but I struggled to get a single duvet in today.. and fits in so much more than the 5.5.. OH finds it amusing I want to buy washing machines.. I dont see his point TBH.. but 2 11Kg washers... yeeeeaaahhh!!!!!!

Thanks LW but i need to keep going with the flying or the house will be unbearable.

I've been up to the hospital and dropped a suitcase of clothes off. CPN rang when i got back and is coming friday to talk to me and PIL. He told me that social services will be out, so that should be interesting. I've told my mum too which was really hard for me, i'm used to telling them very little but they would have heard one way or another so i guess it's better coming from me.

Phoned plasterer and he's coming tomorrow evening, i hope he turns up and can do the job quick.....I NEED a bedroom.:(

Jobs for tomorrow
1) clear boys room out
2) build bunkbeds
3) throw old beds out
4) build 2 wardrobes
5) fill said wardrobes
6) left PIL when they get back
7) get all animals fed
8) clean the car out
9) plasterer

That is one busy day tomorrow..:eek:

Vanilla.. your list looks like mine!! lol.. I have new windows going in tomorrow.. hopefully the 3 bedrooms I have just gutted.. but if not the bay in the backroom.. and the chaps are coming at 8am supposedly. I hope your parents were as supportive as the inlaws and will help you now. Much love to you all.. are the children doing ok? They must be so confused.. horrible isn it?!

updated my list above.. it is getting longer by the hour!! and I keep finding other crazy stuff to do at the same time!

Pigpen I totally get your excitement, sticking what would take me 3 loads into the washers and dryers here as they are industrial ones makes me smile sad eh!

Vanilla ((hugs)) don't be scared of asking SS for help, that's what they are there for xx

Well it's tipping it down now, which means a lot will be put away wet tomorrow. We do need to be back by 4 but other than that no huge hurry....what's the bets in the morning DP decides he's in a hurry so everyone else has to run around like idiots to get done?

pigpen

i looked into getting an industrial one when I got my last one.. but stupid me listened to KH and didnt..

Well.. off to my nest as I have to be up at sparrow fart oclock

My parents never approved of KH but did start to talk to him more over the last few years, so thats another thing he's ruined for himself. Kids seen him today outside the doctors crying and DS1 said ''can you not give him one more chance?'' to which i said ''he'd had enough chances'' so he said ''daddy would be lonely on his own, i want to go with him''. I've told them he's in hospital now with a sore head because they were worried that he would have nowhere to go.:(

I think we'll both be glad when we get these renovations done. I just sick of dust and sleeping in the livingroom, i think my back is about to give up.:rotfl:

vanilla

Lil_me thats what the CPN said to, any support i'm to take it.:rotfl:but you know me i hate having strangers out to the house and asking the kids loads of question, it always makes me feel like a bad mum that they even have to be out.:(

Silly man!

Poor DS1.. He will get used to it.. it is all new and scary for him and he will feel very torn.

I know Ill be so glad when my house is my own again.. just these next 2 days to get through I hope and next week I am starting on getting the baby stuff sorted.. which again will take forever.. and I am just in so much pain and so tired.
