Flylady Thread for Monday 5th February

embb

Morning :hello:

catowen: You can get replacement toilet seats anywhere Wilkinsons/Argos/B&Q all do them for around a tenner, btw your post made me chuckle cause that's the sort of thing I do one job always leads to another in this house...

Just finishing my brew off then gonna get cracking, house, in the main, is still nice and tidy, gonna hit DD2's room though, with her being at her nanas over the weekend it tends to be the dumping ground from around Thursday eve. onwards so got loads of clean washing/toys/bags of bits to sort through and I need to change her bedding/hoover, not take long though.

I'll be out most of the morning cause OH has just text to see if I want to do gym training today.....Yes I do! the lazy bugga hasn't done it all week and I'm chomping at the bit...so that'll be my morning taken care of.

Things to do:-

Training session
Go and buy Gas from somewhere
Swish and Swipe kitchen
Potter around living room
Do some washing
Sort DD#1's room
Hoover through
make tea


That'll do for today, have a good one ladies x

Well yestaerday i didnt do much flying as DS has been poorly and was quite bad with a cold and cough yesterday and just wanted to lie on the sofa with me sitting next to him :rolleyes:
I ended up taking him to the docs and he was given an inhaler and spacer as his chest was weezy, and he had a good night last night at last, although she didnt say he has asthma so i'm not sure why he has the pump, but i've got to go see her on monday for a dreaded pregnancy test so will ask her then.
Anyways i only got done yesterday
*2 loads of washing - darks and bedding
*Sorted the kitchen out, i have loads of glass bottles left over from new year:eek: so have sorted them all out and will drop them off t the recylcing bin tomorrow

Right, beds made, bathroom and toilets swished and breakfast dishes in the DW. Ive also washed my hair and got dressed - sent DD to tidy her room (DSs amazingly is still ok from last weekend!!!) and im now going to have a cuppa and a break - not much else to do today tho, so good news there!

Morning everyone! I've finally managed to wake up - DD woke me at 5.30pm, asking for a drink and throat sweets as she didn't feel well.I did go back to sleep, got up reasonably early, but on autopilot. Don't ask me any difficult questions (like 'Where are my socks?' or 'What time are we going downtown?':D )

Uniforms done on Thursday.

Oooh, like the one about the containers. There's a slippery avalanche of them lurking in my cupboard, and I've perfected the art of opening the door just enough to grab a tin, while holding back the lids etc with my foot! If I wake up enough I may empty the entire cupboard (the one with all the baking trays etc) and clean it out properly. The last time I grabbed a tin, I think I caught sight of a stack of colouring books. My youngest is 12.

Had another revelation about storage: not only do we not have the right storage for the things we want to keep, but the storage we do have is full of stuff we don't want. Logical conclusion (I'm getting there slowly!): get rid of the stuff we don't want. Now why should that be so hard to do???

Right, off to time how long it takes to empty a cupboard!

lil_me

Wouldn't worry moggins, Lynnpat seems to have only registered to post that in every topic on the board.

Well some things done, just lost my temper with the dogs who ran round the garden the through the house inc over the sofas - cream leather sofas, very light pine flooring!!!! Imagine the mud!!!! ARGH!!!! Sent the kids upstairs and put the dogs in the hall to dry while I cleaned the sofa and floors. Just posting this as it dries. Little DS has actually stolen the duster I bought, he says he's doing his room. Got to get DP out of bed soon.

That chilli made enough for last nights dinner, and 5 pots with 2 large portions in each for the freezer, impressed that's a few easy meals sorted. SC now soaking. Washing machine on again (school coats as uniforms already out drying) I best do the desk seeing as I am sat here then the fish tank as it's on the desk.

I am going to add a few to my list as I have an underwear mountain (found several bags of odds and sods stashed over the last week) and a few other things I need to get done.

Quick thanks to serena and moggins.

I posted on the daily thread begging for help and serena pointed me in the direction of here.

I'm going to print out moggins' first post on here and work through them today.
