Weekly Flylady Thread 5th March 2012

LameWolf

I have a feeling that dusting anything will be a waste of time this week; Sadie is moulting enough to stuff cushions with on a daily basis!:D

Still not feeling too good, but will attempt at least a basic scrub of the bathroom, if nothing else, today.:o

WM has been on; wet washing is on the A-frame, as it's wet outside.

Helensdatter sounds like you're having the week from hell - I hope it improves for you.

Afternoon all. I've been flying but I don't think I've been posting......so far this week I've done the kitchen/diner, living room hallway and stairs and today all the bedrooms. I've got washing draped round indoors. Monday and Tuesday I was able to dry stuff outside but we've had rain this morning.

I've been walking every day (still hate it). Not much decluttering to do here, not my stuff anyway, but I did go through my purse this morning and got rid of odd bits of paper.

Job 2: dw emptied and stacked, not cutlery.

Job 3: radical rethink of scale of evening meal. No longer bangers, mash, gravy, too much work. Can prob manage plain pasta, do the sausages, add ketchup. Boys will prob like. DH doesn't care as finger hurty.

My Feb/March list:
1. Do RTM accounts
2. Enter my parents accounts onto Sage
5. Lose 3lbs to get back to SW target & finish the 30 day shred
6. Sort stuff for school trips
8. Sort holiday photos
10. Sort kids clothes & toys for the Spring NCT sale. I need to be ruthless as we have far too many kids clothes WIP
[STRIKE]11. Sew on scout badges - the pile keeps growing![/STRIKE]

Hmm - didn't really manage much flying last night, but I did make custard and pureed roasted peaches for peach ice cream . I forgot to put the ice cream thingy in the freezer so I need to wait til tonight to finish it. DH bought around 20 peaches for £1 on Sat so they needed using up.

I also sewed on all the scout badges, hemmed up DS's school trousers and put a button on DD's trousers.

I went to SW & have lost 2.5lb so almost back to target weight too:D

Then I went to bed only to wake at 2am so the sound of some sort of creature scratching around under the bed. I can only presume its a mouse or an exceedingly large spider :eek: DH is away (on his way home now tho) & under the bed is chocca with carp so we will need to deal with that before bedtime tonight or I'm back on the sofa

Ah sweetie do you hate it because you miss your dog? Could you walk with somebody else or walk somebody else's dog for them. Hugs for you xx

Ruthy well done on your weight loss.

Bathroom and shower room all clean so cake decorating is next on my list.
