The Flylady thread for 29th January 2007

Pollybear

Nice list!

I haven't got a dining room (got a kitchen diner so that all got done together on Monday).

My computer desk is in the hall so that got done today.

I'm going to try and go through my wardrobe. I haven't got much but I want to see what I have got and whether I need to get anything new. I keep a couple of pairs of trousers for work (cleaning) and they are getting near their end but I was hoping they would last until after my holiday (in May) and then take on a couple of my better pairs.

You really wanted to know all that, didn't you?

What a lot of us are living with bl**ding ingrates. A quick flick through my shiny sink book reveals that I am not allowed to be a martyr - what do you suggest instead moggins in the absence of any salami in this meat-free household. Can i be a martyr or will a leek do instead?

What "shiny sink book" is that? What other wisdoms does this book have apart from not being allowed to be a Martyr? I'd love to hear more as I am quite new to this flying lark.

Definitely was long day today. Woke up at 5am and couldn't go bak to sleep.Left house at 7.45am, and returned at 6.45pm after DS1's parents evening. Shattered.

DS2 and DD had done the washing up before I came in, and DD had cooked the vegetables to go with casserole and baked potatoes, and also laid the table. Chocolate bars all round I think!:j

Otherwise, just the dailies done, and probably the same tomorrow and Thursday. Still don't know if new placement agreed to take me tomorrow, so will have to ring first thing.

moggins thank you so much for finding that poem that I could half remember!

Thank you to everyone for all your inspiration! When I've got the energy and a bit more time on Friday, I'll catch up!

The living room and kitchen are now clean but ARRRRGGGHHH my washing pile. No matter how many bloody loads i do, it still seems so huge that i'm sure i can see a few lonely goats (yodel-ay-hee-hoo) up there. I'm tempted just to pile in all in the garden and burn it.

ROTFLMAO Pink Butterfly at the lonely goats:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I've also done ALL the ironing this evening and got my DD's bag ready for tomorrow - as she's got her 2nd jabs and I need to remember to take her health book with me!!

So, for Wednesday...

2. 1 load of washing
3. Empty DW
4. Put away ALL ironing!
5. Vacuum downstairs & stairs
6. Finalise Tesco shop (being delivered on Friday..need to check & make some additions)

Moggins List

• Clean dining room, hoover,dust- I haven't got one!!!!
• Clean/polish table
• Wash table cloth
• Clean windowsills - done today as part of the kitchen!
• Water any plants - haven't got any!
• Home office/computer desk - declutter, dust
• Whilst working run defrag on the computer - I have no idea how to do this????
• Clean & hoover landings
• 27 fling boogie

Should all be quite do-able as long as DD is ok after her jabs.....otherwise I may just be trying to pacify a 12 week old baby all day!!! Wish me luck....

Oh, forgot to say, I managed to get micro clothes (is that what they're called) and stardrops today so am very excited. I know, officially sad! The micro clothes were a pack of three and one is just for windows so I guess i'll have to clean a window tomorrow too now. Lots to choose from as they're all grubby except the dining room that got done last week.

Ok, I can go to sleep now i've told you that exciting news!

Good luck with the jabs brummiebabe, I remember them well, my children were always fine and I was a nervous wreck!

it's called "sink reflections" and is written by the original flylady who can be seen here http://www.flylady.net/index.asp
I like our moggins best as she lets us use violence with leeks and salami and doesn't ram religion down our throats

Thanks.....she's my 3rd child so I'm used to it, but it just isn't a nice thing to have to do!! I'm sure she'll be fine...I'll give her a dose of Calpol aswell...;)

I too have a copy of Sink Reflections (far easier to cope with than the website. My gypsy ancestry allows for violence with fruit and veg and my Wicca religion believes that people have to find their own way to the goddess

So I'm sorry but Flylady you have to allow for strange behaviour from people with Romany genes
