Flylady Thread for Monday 26th February

scaredy_cat_2

well - i have had my most successful day for a while :T

after a very poor start - i returned home at lunch time and (big pause)

sorted out the mess that was my kitchen
hung out washing
put main sofa covers on to wash - just cushions (seats and backs) to do
dusted lr
sorted out toys that are in there - put away all that needed to be as their box was upstairs!!
dusted
hoovered (but i have to admit not under sofas i normally do do it honest)

It looks so much better in there

i cooked roast - and cooked double everything to make pie tomorrow!! :T

and OH was off today ill but he managed to do a few bits of bobs of very significant nature :T
hung 3 pictures!! they have been hanging around for ever
sanded our beautiful waxed pine table as it is covered in dried weetabix and felt pens and was no longer beautiful and has now put on 2 coats of varnish - cheaper than a table cloth and will be waxed again when they are bigger!!
He also glued the chairs that are falling apart and wobbly!!

so a v productive day - AND the most important thing very happy children while all this was going on - they didn't ask for tv until after dinner this evening and helped with some of the jobs!!

so thank you moggins :A

this evening i have done lots of pigsback stuff - another voucher is nearing
and then (thanks to pigpen) i have done my snowball thing

when it comes to pc stuff i am a thrower :eek: when i get frustrated BUT even though i had to enter my stuff 4 TIMES :eek: i kept my cool!!

so great - and as for tomorrow - bring it on!!! i will live to regret that :rotfl:

oh and michelle i am v excited for you - its a great time and yes the movement brings a whole other issue - someone i used to work with lost her little boy when he started rolling she left the room and he rolled under the sofa and was hidden by the fringe bit!! :rotfl:

Well I have managed all from my list but have left the sort mail and file from Moggins list. When I first started flying i spent two hours sorting out the filing but it has gone backwards again as i concentrated on other things, i will get there hopefully next week, i have bought a new bookcase for keeping my files organised but waiting on OH to build.
Talking of OH it's his 40th tomorrow, and as we are taking him out for tea i don't have to organise a meal for tomorrow night but I do have to blow up some balloons for the morning the girls want the house decorated like it is when it's their birthdays - he's not too keen but never mind. Anyway away to get organised will look back later for the list for tomorrow.

Scaredy... was the snowball scaredy worthy?? mine was horrifying!! I couldn't beleive how LONG it will take to pay everything off!!! I really wanted to cry. I had to keep entering mine as well because I kept forgetting bits off and other painful things.

anyway.. stuff todays list.. I'm off for a shower and going to the pub with my mother!! Anyone fancy coming with me??

scaredy_cat_2

pigpen it was a little (am off to update my debt diary!!) but we are a little restritced due to loans and not being able to overpay them so i want to clear all the other stuff first and then i will save for them - its 2012 at the mo!! but i have already cleared £2k off of overdraft since nov!! because of bank charge claims and i have done a little work (yuck!!) 'paid work outside the home' that is - only 2 days a month tho and no childcare as my mum has girls - can you tell me about how you get vertbaudet clothes so cheap please

rach

i haven't done much since last post, played online scrabble with OH (who was at work ) and been to weightwatchers (lost half a pound, though i could crap that much so its not very good really!) seriously back on my diet this week

just having my (very late) dinner, bit past it really but its healthy and tasty so will eat it up!

will post tomorrow's list when i've finished eating!

pigpen

I'm very pleased with myself. Thats as well as trying my best to make the baby roll over again, but he wasn't playing. Denise he is actually 19 weeks old this week, so he is getting quite big. He was just 16 pounds when i last got him weighed a couple of weeks ago, and can almost fit into 6-9 month clothes. :eek: I think he's going to be one of those hollow legged children who will eat me out of house and home. I agree it has gone quick.
scaredy cat you have just made both me and DH laugh with your story about the disappearing baby. Thankfully we don't have many gaps. :rolleyes: punky i am keeping a little diary for him. My aunty bought me a time capsule tin to keep little bits in, and it is really enjoyable to put together, and then read back every time i add something.

this_is_it

i know this will sound bad but used the hoover today for the first time in a couple of weeks and its the first time in ages that the living room has had a dusting been using decorating and having builders in as excuses not to do anything but seeing as the decorating has been put on hold , i made myself come back here and to get my self motivated again and i think its worked.
tues list i will do a bit tonight as i'm taking my mum and dad out for a few hrs tomorrow then i can finish off when i get back in will just have to remember to take some fish out of freezer for tea before i go out.
