Weekly Flylady Thread 5th September 2011

Washing put away, cats fed, bits and pieces put back in their homes, dejunked the fire place and coffee table, living room swept (dyson buried in the girls pit) more glass found :eek: it's been nearly 3 months since XH broke in. Stupidly it upset me so much that I cried I'm thankful the girls aren't here, pretending that everything is ok is getting hard.
I've unloaded and partly reloaded the DW and will start cleaning round the kitchen after I've had a fruit tea

:wave:Valli, saw this and thought of you

PenPen _party_

I have cleared the bedroom to be so that it could be plastered, and dug the rest of the potatoes out so they don't just rot in the ground. Terrible year for veg or is that just us?

HHC done and there is a slight difference but still not happy to sit in most rooms - our ensuite bathroom upstairs is ok but not really the place I want to spend a Saturday night:rotfl:

Off for a quick brew then another HHC starting at 5.20 - focus on kitchen and lounge (if I can shift icklies off sofa)

Gardens done and furniture put away. Moved some plant pots and i must move the trampoline in to a sheltered part. Dw nearly finished and i go stick another load in. More washing put on the line too, washing is nearly all done. :j

Best go get more sticks and set the fire up for lighting later.

DW and WM emptied and reloaded, I made the base for tomorrows Game Pie and Chicken Curry for OH tonight. DH made Tiramisu for tomorrow Num num num.

Then I ATE A FROG:j:j:j and did a Freezer Audit. Only some unidentifiable Pate and some stuff that I can't tell whether its stock or soup :rotfl::rotfl:Now I can find everything and I've got loads

Just finishing watching the England replay. Do glad about Scotland result. Then need to S&S Bathroom and walk the furry beast.

i managed to do a baby inventory and gave the kitchen a once over and phoned mum and panicked about how much baby stuff i have, she has reassured me that ive not gone OTT and in fact there is loads missing from my list :rotfl: so will be getting all that sorted when she is up in a few weeks.

next doors brats are screaming and i want to tell them to shut the heck up as they are screaming for the sake of screaming and there is no need. thankfully their dad has just told them off but they started again!

off to do another HHC doing i dont know what, most likely will attack my bedroom as clothes just appear on my floordrobe and if thats all tidy i can then start on the spare room properly tomorrow.

toochoosey

Everything back in place and second load in the machine. Really fancy a takeaway but funds are limited......looks like Pasta for tea then!!!!

Took a while to reconfigure DD's room...the bed, wardrobe, 2 chests and a set of shelves were moved numerous times but all looks good now...we'll see how long it stays like that!!!

Need food now though.......catch you later xx

Dorastar

Completed WM, DW emptied and re-filled, kitchen tops emptied, lounge decluttered, bathroom cupboard emptied and cleaned - how many manky old toothbrushes do we really need:o, tea cooked and eaten yummy baked potatoes (I love Autumn cooking all warm and toasty)

Strictly then Doctor Who so going to sort out some paperwork, schoolwork and get some stitching done while they are on.

Dh has rung from work and is going to do loads tomorrow while I concentrate on school work, especially since a lot of it is cluttering up space which will soon be filled by a birthday guinea pig!

Goodintentions

Good afternoon

the only flying I have done today is declutter DD1 back to Uni! :j

She tried her hardest to stand back & let everyone else do the work, & then is so hard done by if she is asked to actually carry her own crapola :mad: that isn't packed properly! she has left her pillow here. Probably other stuff aswell, but we haven't found it yet! She left her printer at her nan's so no doubt i will have to go up there in a few weeks anyway.

Apart from that, I have brought the washing in, emptied the DW & restacked, taken the family out for lunch (CBA to cook!) & slept for about 1.5 hours :eek: NDN came and took 2 bookshelves out of our summerhouse. That just leaves 2 in there, which we are going to keep :T
I am going to run myself a bath, and probably not do much else. DH's BD seems to be nipping me aswell, as I really CBA
Fresh start tomorrow!

That is so sad/lazy of the school tbh. Understand on the toast front but our y6 sell mini cheeses, fruit and squeezy yogurts every day - one lady does an asda run on the way into work most days to get it and school subsidises it so fruit is 10p, cheese and yogs are 20p. Could sensible older ones not do it at your boys school?

I agree it seems a bit lazy...there's only so many fruit bags kids will eat before they get bored & I don't even have kids!
