Weekly Flylady Thread 6th February 2012

CAB lady very nice - took DD1's history, photocopied the paperwork and they will be in touch when they have worked out whether to refer her on to someone they know or keep in house.
Came back via station to get DD1 a railcard - needless to say I paid (another £28!)
Now having belated lunch:eek:;) at 4.40!
have booked DS into dentist's for Wed - suddenly he has toothache now that the tonsilitis is on the wane..... Poor kid - he has never had a filling and he hasn't had a/b's in the last 10 years! He gets a new job and then suddenly everything goes wrong! Fingers crossed nothing else happens!
more wakeup vibes for Ed! My sister is a trained theatre nurse - she always said they never shouted at teenagers to wake them - instead they washed them! Maybe we should have bedbath vibes for Ed instead...:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -
wow holly you did fantastically in your HHC
glad you had a nap when ben dd seafarer sleepis more important
waxed and cleared the didning table just got to rehome the clutter that accumulated on it all it has on now is the fruit bowl some candles and the salt/pepper pots. need to find the table mats
was thinking the other day about a teenager i read about in a similar situation to Ed, his family had tried everything tapes of them talking tapes of his favourite music nothing seemed to stir him. then somehow a tape got mixed up and it was 'oldie music his parents listened to that he didnt like. the result the teenager stirred mumbling "will someone turn that off!"
i pray Ed wakes soon
am just finishing my HHironing had a break to sew on a button for DD
neither of the kids that have come home so far have commented on the kitchen floor and they've obth been in the kitchen LOLSPC~12 ot 124

I'm sort of in this week. I'm really struggling to get motivated at the moment - I think perhaps its the cold weather, but I just cannot be bothered with anything.
The house is clean-ish, the usual hotspots are still there & I'm sat in my room of doom trying to ignore the piles of paperwork that needs sorting.
I am going to try to keep up with level 1 - anything else is a bonus
Level One
[STRIKE]Wipe the table and work surfaces[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Sweep/Hoover/mop the floor[/STRIKE] did this on Sat so doesn't really need doing again
Level Two
[STRIKE]Wipe the hob[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]HHI[/STRIKE] did all of it last night
Level Three
Sort your store cupboard/baking cupboard/ladder and meal plan
HHMe time for everybody
Extras
[STRIKE] HHPaperwork or bill paying/budget updating[/STRIKE]
Dust any surfaces which need it
Dry any doormats/boots etc which have been left wet from the snow
I also cleaned out the minging microwave:eek:

My Feb list:
