The Flylady thread for 29th January 2007

Michelle, my husband felt my forehead to see if I was ill before I left today!!

I had the SC on, the BM on 8 children fed dressed and out the door by 8:45am and have actually not got a full load of washing left to do.. just 3 half loads!

My mother has asked if I'll go do hers.. I offered to help her but not do it for her. Which means I do it and she watches!

My sister thinks I have her disease.. she is a clean freak.. so I showed her all my dirty bits lol

hope everyone moving now - yesterday i set my timer and put on load bopping music - it did work!! :T thanks to everyone for motivation yesterday today is a different day!! was out of the house by half 7 to my mums with me and dd2 dressed - it is a treat for dd1 to be able to go to grannys in her pyjamas and have breakfast. But i had emptied dishwasher, put on washing and made all beds by then too!! :T

Dds have both had their fringes cut (long overdue) and then we went to the zoo - had a great time and took a picnic - we have season tickets so free now too.

just had lunch so catching up while they catch up with auntie mabel and pippen courtesy of cbeebies!!

then i'm making a bucket of bol - hope to have 5 to go in freezer and 1 for tonight - the living room is my fave room to do because its generally kept on top of.

the girls love it cos i throw all the sofa cushions onto the floor and they make mountains and i chase them with the hoover - they also love to get the duster under the sofa to see what we can find but of course these days not as much!!

Pigpen think it was your threat of a cattle prod (or stun gun) that got me moving yesterday!! :rotfl:

:rotfl: catch you all later

those of you feeling bad today - make a list of what you have done even if it includes getting dressed and making bed - and then do something nice before setting timer and putting on music a lot can be done in 10 mins then have abreak and come back and do another 10 mins

Ah-ha!! I found some stuff to fill my WM.. the nets from the toilet door an the front door.. don't think either has been washed for months.. if ever!!

I paid a bill and updated my signature.. see.. I have paid off over £2000 of my debt.. almost 1/10th .. but it is heading in the right direction. I was aiming to pay christmas off by easter and have more than done that already.. in one month!!! I am way ahead of schedule for payment so I am very pleased with myself! Payday tomorrow so I'll be updating again having paid off another whopping chunk of money... no wonder we can't afford food!!!

Smallfry not well so she is banished to bed so I have 1 hour to do the front room before I have to wke her and collect the other gremlins.. cuppa first though, I've not had one since 9am!

Scaredy cat.. glad to be of service!

I've hit my 1pm energy slump so seeing as I have done everything including cleaned all the floors (that Pod is fantastic), removed two stains from the hall carpet and sorted something out for tea I am going for a nap.

Can someone phone me at 2.45 so I don't miss picking DD up from school? LOL, only joking (someone from another website really did do this for me once, I was so tired they ordered me to bed and someone phoned from Scotland so I wouldn't miss the school run) people are so nice sometimes.

Which reminds me, I was 20p short of the parking money when I got back to the car yesterday and thought I would have to go back to the bank and get some more cash out and a lovely girl handed me the 20p so I didn't have all that hassle!

Afternoon everyone,

Hi everyone

I just wanted to add something to Becca's list about "how you know when you are a flylady!"....a friend of mine (who is also doing the flylady challenge) was asked out on a dinner date last week.She really did not want to go, so instead of the old "I'm washing my hair tonight" line, she told this poor guy that she could not come to dinner because she was shining her sink!!!!....there was not much he could really say to that!!! He must of thought she was mad! It did make me smile! Hope everyone is good; enjoy the rest of the day x

Sorry everyone, what a day! Got up to find DS2 had wet the bed, then started with bad tummy again. He can't control his bowels at all which has made chaos in my house today. Thankfully DP looked after him for 2 hours while I was at the appointment with DS1. Puppy had also messed everywhere, oh my I need a mask on today! House has suffered because I'm too busy chasing him around with a bottle of disinfectant everywhere he goes and have had to shower him off a couple of times. Need a health hazard warning on the front door!

I've managed to make a start on dinner, of course nothing was done while I was out so have sorted some laundry (he's also made a mess of sheets, sleeping bag etc he's sat on when his tummys started aswell as his clothes, tryng damage limitation having pants on!) third wash is in now and have had to use the drier. Got DS1 fed and to school for the afternoon session, have made a stat on living room which I will go and finished once I have finished posting this. Everywhere is just so upside down and disorganised today, but decided after running around like a headless chicken since I got back at 12, (doings a bit of this and a bit of that) I need 10 minutes to sort an action plan before trying to attack everything else!

After reading your post Moggins isn't it nice when people can be nice, I was 6th in a queue in the shop once and the boy at the front was short of his Mam's shopping by 50p so I gave him it. His Mam was at home poorly which she told me a few days later and thanked me, like I said I was suprised noone else offered! For the sake of 50p!

List

Finish dailies
Do mountain washing
Moggins list
Catch up in kitchen
