Weekly Flylady Thread 12th September 2011

Back from physio - I need an injection. Great.
Went to Mr Ts. I clearly cant do mental arithmetic cos it came to much more than I thought?
I need to put it away now (sat down with a buttie cos I was starved)
Then I have until 1.20pm when I leave for my voluntary few hours out.
I MUST do the bathroom. For those ladies of a certain age who wear specs for reading, might I suggest that you put them on when doing your housework.
I left mine on when in the bathroom, (no I wasnt reading!) and the grot is unbelievable.
Actually maybe housework is better without them ? It's certainly quicker.....
Off to put shopping away and feed puss cats again. Must do cat litter too......

Afternoon everyone, seemed to have missed the morning..lol

It's a gorgeous day here, with just the right amount of wind to dry the washing nicely

Just had a late breakfast of 40g (yes I did measure it out too!) of malted shreddies, a small glass of fruit juice and a cuppa. I'm keeping a food diary of what I eat for a month, and I'm actually really surprised how much it is reigning me in eating wise. I'm actually making more of an effort not to snack on unhealthy things and I can honestly say that since I started the diary last Thursday I have only slipped once - and that was big time. I managed to eat two cream cakes in one go, but I did feel sick afterwards though..lol

Have a ton of things to do as I want to get all the washing and ironing up to date, as well as the housework, before we go away for a week on Saturday. I do like to come back to a nice clean smelling tidy home, that way I can make it untidy again...lol

Anyone up for several HHC during the day?

LW, I completely forgot it was your anniversary yesterday so please have a “Belated Happy Anniversary” from me to you and Mr LW. Hope you had a nice and restful day.
Julie hopefully by the time you read this your interview would be over and done with, and it went really well for you. Fingers crossed you get the outcome you want.
Adamantine, huge hugs sweetie. It really does sound like you are well rid of XH though, he sounds a right pill0ck. And he obviously has no regard for you and your family to put you all through the possibility of having to give evidence. Hugs honey xxx
Triker, how are you feeling today? Do you have another day off sick? Although saying that daytime t.v. is enough to make anyone feel sick, hence why I have started to listen to Radio 2 from when I get up till 2pm (or after if it isn’t Steve Wright doing the show!).

Afternoon

It's a lovely day, I've got two loads of washing out on the line including my bedding and I've hand washed the cats blanket and that's draped over the garden chair until there's room on the line. So many hairs I don't want it touching the other washing - I looked like I had angora gloves on when I'd finished!

All the bedrooms are done and I dusted in the hallway and the living room and vacuumed through downstairs too.

I'm going to do a HHC at 12.30 if anyone wants to join me..

I really need to get my rear into gear and get started..lol

HHC results

Darling little man woke up after 15 mins

Still managed to clear the floor and cupboard top
Put away all stuff properly
filled a carrier bag full of carp
Dusted
Swept
Got chicken out the freezer for tea

That's the hall looking a lot better, wanted to clear the lower landing of all the stuff that has been put there to take up over the last few days, but hey ho. Maybe later.

Think it might be time for a new fridge soon, my milk seems to have a big frozen lump in it and no little darlings have adjusted the temperature.
