Weekly Flylady Thread 5th March 2012

Evening all!

Away the weekend so trying to get the place presentable for friends who are coming over for dinner Monday night. I managed to lock myself out the house on Tuesday evening, so no flying done then , and yesterday was Welsh class. But tonight have done quite a bit in the last hour and a half - washload done, bread on, got DD to sort through her overflowing craft trolley, all now fits inside it so dining room looks a lot tidier , hoovered dining and living room, have changed hanging moth killers in wardrobe.

Now need to tuck DD up in bed, hang out laundry, hoover hall, change bedding and give two minute tidy to office... actually sounds quite a lot when I put it like that. Maybe I'll just watch some telly instead...

I havent been listing this week, but we are clean and tidy, apart from conservatory but we are playing out there tomorrow so we'll tidy as we go.
Bath been disinfected thanks to baby and her little bottom incident :eek: don't you just love 'em?
Laundry almost up to date, all bedding done.

A well done to my little lad, he had regressed somewhat with his potty business when daddy was in the hospital and hospice, but we have been getting back into it since new year, and I think he's got the habit well and truly back. He's a little star!

Happy flying x

Popping out of lurkdom to wish CY a Happy '49th' Birthday

I have been studying & working - with a little flying in between. DH managed to pull up some weeds in the garden today as the sun was shining.

Our dog has been poorly these last couple of weeks He had the squits - for about a week! :eek: That cost me £66. Then had his jabs - another £45. Now he is limping I think I may have to take him back to the vets tomorrow, as it doesn't seem to be wearing off (no obvious injury, or even a reason for it - except the fact that he is a nutter!!). I can't even give him a painkiller.

I am making cakes with a 2 year old in the morning, so will probably have to do the kitchen again after that!!

Hugs & spoons to those that need them. Night night all

Up a bit earlier - got nothihg done last night but DH had a good tidy up and hoover round - mainly because dog no 2 will chew anything not nailed down! Don't think we've ever been so tidy!

Sheets are in the WM, might even be finished by the time we leave - in which case the towels can go in. Will have to get over my mean streak and tumble dry them tonight, and the other couple of loads waiting to be done - if I'm really efficient I might be able to get it all ironed tonight! Weekends are usually dominated by the laundry so that would be a first - and a treat - not to have to work around that.

Looks like Flylady is helping in all sorts of ways! Have a good day everyone and will check back tonight.

Morning lovelies! :wave:

Hope everyone's well and Birthday wishes to the Birthday people this week xx

Been manic this week again, still got lots to do but I've got the weekend off so will have a good go at it all.

Went to view my house yesterday and it's lovely, it looks like a different house inside as well as out, I love it. Kitchen needs to be tweaked as they put in an extra cupboard where my DW is going to go but they're going to sort that before Wednesday when I move back in. :j Bathroom is unrecognisable due to the extension of the room and turning it all round the other way plus it's fully tiled, shower in, decorated and there's flooring down, been there 9 yrs and it's never looked like that :j So mainly just the 3 bedrooms and stairs to decorate and then carpet, ooh and they've even put in a radiator in the cloakroom toilet made me beam that did

So, got to sort stuff out this weekened, boxes need sorting, some stuff round to OH's a mini fling as there's not much left to fling in this house at least, will do a full clean over the weekend and need to catch up on the washing.

Went to Aldi for the first time in months yesterday and was gobsmacked at the cheap prices (I'd forgotten) online order for Asda done for next week but I'm going to copy the list and I'm going there instead see if it can beat the £67 :money:

Listy for today:-

tidy LR
WM
sort tea
work 9 - 2.30
hoover
dishes
S&S kitchen
dry washing

Laters xx

Just popping on to say a huge THANKYOU for all the birthday wishes! I love this place ( even more so now i'm officially 49 here as opposed to 50 in other places!)

I had a fantastic day - i was spoilt rotten both at home and at work. Now all I need to do is learn how to put music on my new ipod! This isn't helped by the fact that OH is sorting and rearranging the CD's at the moment! I can't find anything! The eldest set up the ipod for me yesterday and put a few CDs onto it for me - they are very random though. So far I have JohnDenver, Pink Floyd, Aha and the Notting Hillbillies on it - a very random choice of music!

Off to hang out the washing.....

It's my fault as I tempted fate! I said to the vet receptionist on Monday 'Hopefully I will see you next year' and said 'Yes. have a good Christmas!!' He is not limping this morning, but he is still not right. Will have to make an appointment after work.
