Weekly Flylady Thread 26th September 2011
Comments
-
Hey all - havent done much flying today as such, but took advantage of the beautiful weather when I got home from work and cut the grass and tidied the garden, borders, pulled weeds from path etc... Have only done the back so far and then it was teatime.
The good weather is forecast till Sunday apparently, so fingers crossed I get the front done before then... that way, it should all only need a final once-over to be presentable before I hand the keys back.
Kitchen cleaned and swished as per usual
Laundry brought in/taken down and folded
Two loads done and drying
WM on again to be hung out in the morning.
LO's shirts have been bleached, but still show some weird stain which may or may not be paint...
downstairs hoovered again
LR glass done including patio windows..
Cant remember what else!
Love hugs sticks and spoons all round and as required. xxSometimes lurking, sometimes posting, but always flying

Wendywitch post a photo of the offending window with dimensions (old money or metric, we can manage with either 'cos we're flyladies) and we should be able to say how you can deal with it!

Normally do the shopping on a Thursday but given that DD is still dripping with the lurgy I thought it best to avoid the cattle market that is Tescos. Instead I've already ordered everything online with Sainsburys (only time I get to go to S as our one hasn't been built yet) and even with the delivery charge spent a lot less than usual. I only really go round T's cos DD loves sitting in the trolley and waving at everyone!:)
Have a good day!0
