Weekly Flylady Thread 5th September 2011

MrsChaos

Thanks to FCC. I'm in, despite in a very limited fashion, focussing on decluttering and frogs.

Congratulations, jojo. :T Clip on youtube next?

Would have been a lot better if I'd not spent 90 minutes tonight watching Martin Shaw in Inspector George Gentley. Not very responsible, but extremely enjoyable - despite the sad story.

Quick check of the list and then I'll prioritise most urgent.

try one more time to send work e-mails
finish laundry - [STRIKE]drying[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]sorting[/STRIKE], ironing (essentials for tomorrow only) putting away
set up calendar
de-flea cat
forms for OH (DVLA and permitted work)
school to-do list
check uniform for DS2
check my clothes for Monday
contact DS2’s TA/childminder
sort OH’s prepayment cert for meds
[STRIKE]sort packing list with DS1 [/STRIKE]
wrap present and write card
write cards for NN's son and daughter
update spending record
[STRIKE]sort DS1's money[/STRIKE]
school work
sort work bag for tomorrow (new laptop wheelie thing due to arrive by Thursday :j)

Note to self: remember to put new battery for car key and phonecall to garage on list for tomorrow.

list-less

Hi, I'm back in this week. Been gone a while as been a bit hectic at work. Calmer now so need to get house back together.

Hi everyone I'm in this week, I've been working really hard today and cleared a lot of junk. I've got a shorter bin week so using that to spur me to clear more as I have more room in the recycle boxes and bin. Had a meal out tonight last treat for a while as I want to get back into the diet. Going to go for low calories when I'm out on Friday then a good restart from next Monday first full school week.

Finishing uniform shopping tomorrow, DSs feet have grown so his nearly new shoes he finished term with don't fit *grumbles*

Have a good Monday all, be in touch when I get chance tomorrow xx

Hi, didn't realise lists were done weekly, maybe i will have more chance of completing one. Please count me in. My problem is not so much the cleaning, though its not that brill, but that i have too much stuff tucked away, and once i take stuff out, to declutter, the mess totally sends me into a spin. I am going to give myself one job a day, and see how i go from there.

Apply for 3 jobs a day
Deep clean lounge, including finish decluttering cupboard
Tidy house top to toe with general wipe and polish and keep tidy
Put stuff on eBay to add to SPC
Sort out box of toiletries lurking under my dressing table
Freecycle some of unwanted stuff
Books

I think I will take the advice of a fellow flylady and stop there,

Goodintentions good luck with your first G/C, im on my 2nd, did rubbish last month, but hope im going to do better this month.

Morning All

I'm still in bed - didn't have a very good night's sleep and have no inclination to get up. However I have to be at the Job Centre for 9.50 and I still have 2 job applications to do which have a closing date of tomorrow and I need to ring up today to arrange to visit the schools. Somebody had unplugged my printer from the PC yesterday and then it wasn't connecting when I plugged it back in so I'm hoping it'll be working again when I go downstairs so I can actually print my letters off when I've done them!

LW - hope you're not worrying about tomorrow too much - lots of hugs and coping vibes for you.

Have a good day all

Hugs
