Weekly Flylady Thread 6th November

roundtuit

Goodintentions :wave: - thankyou for the sticks. Am going to throw one for NN little dog which is going demented at the mo...am thinking he's alarmed by flying noises coming from my kitchen ooops

:jI can't believe I was dressed and had my dailies done by 10am!!! I even wiped down the cooker top and washed the bottom of the washing up bowl...go me. How sad am I???

I've phoned the garage and someone is coming to look at Pip 'in a bit'...he thinks it could be the battery. I hope so, a new battery I can cope with, a possessed car :eek: errr no thankyou.
BD appears to be chasing goodi's sticks....so I'm going to go to the Tardis and bring in my first box to sort - even if I know the nearest box has the iron and who knows what other nasties in

I'll be back when that box has been empied and contents put away/in charity bag/in bin. Taking a deep breath.... I'm going out ....this may take a while. xx

I was inspired last week to dig out my old suede gloves. Does anyone have any tips on how to clean them? The dry cleaners won't do them as they're too small an item to go through their machines. I've had a scrub using suede cleaner for shoes, but they still look grubby

Shifted the furniture (ouchie shoulder ) except the wardrobe which needs decluttering first, and cleared the floor. Having lunch now and then DS2 needs to sleep so I will have to get the carp out of his cot, then will do dailies until school run time. Hoping to have friends round after DS1's football club on Friday so need to get a wiggle on! CHAOS be gone!

AJmoney - good luck with your piano exam. My dd has her exam next week. I keep saying i'm going to have lessons again...really must!

It is a while since I last did an exam so not quite sure how it will be as an adult. My teacher said they mark adults differently/harder to children which I think is unfair so I will just have to see how it goes and wait for the results. DH and I are both learning and he is quite a bit older than me so it is never too late to learn!

I have done quite a bit this morning, not going to do much more now as I don't want to end up rushing later.
