Flylady Thread for Monday 5th February

Gooooood Morning Flybabies! *in best Robin Williams impression*

Woke up this morning after oversleeping until 6.50 again (my alarm goes off at 6am ) but we're running early again :dance: OH has taken a leaf out of my book and now gets his dishes & the toaster out for breakfast the night before. He also put all the dishes away so I came down to a few dirty dishes (supper ones which went in to soak) and was able to get out of the kitchen (after making DD's lunch, putting a wash load on, making DD & my brekkie) in time for OH coming down at 7.30 to make his lunch I've tried making OH's lunch up the night before but he prefers to make it himself of a morning.

Didn't get much flying done yesterday as I spent so long sorting out the weekly shop and then got distracted by this thread again! I did get some of Moggins list done, and I managed to clean the kitchen window inside and out, and demould the walls/ceiling/backdoor. So my list for today looks something like this :

• Dailies
  1. Beds
  2. Bathroom
  3. Kitchen
  4. Dishes
  5. WM - x 2 today
  6. Lunches

  2. Dust light fittings and clean light switch.
  3. Wipe down cabinet doors.

• Bathroom
  1. Clean bath, sink and toilet.
  2. Wipe down tiles
  3. Clean mirrors and tidy up.

rach

morning all, i'm up bright and early (for me!) as i woke up a bit anxious about all teh stuff i have to do. i also realised late last night i left my diary in the pub so i am really hoping i can get it back, as its hard to work without it - all the appointments i have planned are in there!

mylist today is not long, as no dining room and the hall i did on friday along with the stairs. so its a good day to catch up on the extras:

make soup
make yoghurt
book kia test drive
foresters claim
book train ticket
oxfam (if it kills me i'm gonna do this today!)
27 fling boogie - necklaces, coats
ebay listings
work out why overdrawn already!
book eyebrow appt
sort outdoor shoes out
sort out dodgy bead curtain
get diary from pub (assuming its there!)

that should be do-able i think.

happy flying

Did really well yesterday with Moggins' list. Unfortunately forgot to put plates away before going to bed last night so was disappointed to not see a clean kitchen this morning. *Must remember to do night time routine*

Ok gonna get dressed soon then start on todays list.

Hope it isn't as I'm the same. OK once I get my bearings but really uptight before.

Morning Flybabes! Good to see you Flyboy!

No more birth stories please guys - I'm only 11 weeks pregnant and finding it hard to keep my breakfast down !!! With DS I started labour in Sheffield (1cm) and finished in Reading (8cm) .....

ANYWAY, need to finish kitchen as had probs with the DW yesterday (DH needs to stop putting plates with food still on in DW :mad: ) then will get on with hall and dining room. DS currently playing with his friend so he's happy. Also haven't finished dailies yet.

Happy flying!

Back again while I defrost. Woke up to find it had snowed in the night, but it's also frozen as it's melting :rolleyes: Took DD to school with no problems, then slid most of the way back (gracefully though, no falling/waving of arms all over the place for me ) and managed to find 20p on route Only problem is now both my ankles are aching, this teamed with achy knees after climbing on the worktops/sink yesterday to demould means no hands and knees scrubbing of the floor today.

Catching up with the thread (my goodness are you all chatter boxes :rotfl: I know...I'm just as bad ) I'm surprised how many of you had birth stories with complications:eek: I guess I was very very lucky with DD then. I never put any weight on (moved out of my parents house and budget meant smaller portions and no junk snacks in the house) as I was loosing it at the same rate as I should have been putting it on Then when I finally went into labour 2 days late (post shopping and blitzing the house in 1 day...guess I knew :rotfl: ) I was in relatively little pain for about 4-5 hours just more discomfort as DD was back to back with me :rolleyes: When they took me in the hospital they put me on gas & air and I was fine for a while, then I was put on TENS (spelling?) and at 4.26am the next morning (went into labour about 3pm) DD finally arrived No C-sections or anything. This has said to me that I could easily do it again....but we've decided not to have another child so can we PLEASE stop this talk of babies as I'm getting broody :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Just realised, after looking at the calender, that I'm out at a meeting at school tomorrow afternoon which means I won't be able to attack the livingroom....so I might just tackle that today as well, especially as that incorporates the diningroom/study. Doesn't need much as it's tidy already, just a quick flick with the duster and a hoover over :j

So far I've made the beds and put 2 lots of washing on hangers/airers to dry in the bedrooms... off to tackle the kitchen jobs... :wave:
