Flylady Thread for Monday 5th March 2007

I haven't included the garden as that is usually my weekend job, DSs usually help and becomes a sort of family thing, poop patrol (having 2 dogs) is on my daily list, I do any rubbish clearing then (blows in from other places). I can add if required but also aware some don't have gardens. Weeks pretty much filled at the minute but if people want it adding we can, downside being if I add it on a day it's sunny or forecast for sun here, it might not be nice elsewhere.

Well bathrooms done, well it's clean anyway, desk is getting packed up and moved upstairs so another OTT one for me. I have put some stain block paint on our new room after wiping down all the walls and clearing everything. Got another wall to do when I go up and move furniture across. Then I need to get the sander out and sand down all the woodwork, doors etc. Possibly start painting those today, depends how I do for time. Also need to remove fog lights from my Jeep which a local brat has smashed ready for it's MOT this weekend.

Well.. Shorty is down for a nap (YES!!!) I have a cuppa.. my wash basket is EMPTY!!!!!! Both of them!!

My kitchen is shiny.. other than the floor, but that is actually swept.

I have a pile of parcels to post and need to buy something for dinner. They are having salad and new potatoes and maybe some ham shank.. or possibly chicken... we shall see. Don't know what I'm having I haven't eaten since.. Tuesday.. and before that it was Sunday morning and before that it was Friday. Needless to say I have lost 7lb this week.

The weekend plans include taking DD1 for new bras.. hers are all too small, but she has had them since September! Possibly stripping wall paper.. all exciting stuff!!

pigpen make sure you eat something - you have to keep your energy up and look after yourself

am off to wake dd2 - shorter naps means a half 6 wake up call instead of half 5

not much done due to afternoon of visitors but just whizzed around and made butternut squash soup and hm pork burgers for tonight - uniforms on line and house generally tidy - will try and get bathroom done later

Hiya everyone
I FOUND MY BANK PAYING IN BOOK!!!!!! It was in the first box that I piled paper work into when I was looking for it. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Still wondering if DH let me sort out paperwork through the whole house and then slipped the book into the box. Anyway, done and dusted. I'm on a course all weekend and then it's back to joining in properly on Monday.
Hugs to those who need them.

Well I got all the woodwork and radiators etc painted, just done a second coat (one coat paint supposedly but needed 2) need DP to take TV bracket down so I can get the walls filled/painted, hopefully he'll take it down tomorrow before we go to meet my friend (she's coming up from London for the weekend) then get it painted when the boys go to bed tomorrow night, well that's the plan anyway. Looking forward to it just all being done, I hate the chaos of decorating! Saying that once it's finished, got carpets to buy and fit (do it myself as refuse to pay fitters) then move all my furniture in and sort my old room to make it the computer/games room. Then there is the hall and stairs to paint! Never ends does it!

Well done Rach, sounds like you've been very busy! Nice when everything looks good isn't it. I just find it a struggle keeping it that way

Nicki must agree the days flown over, wish it'd been longer as there is so much to do, oh well. Saying that Nicki looks like you've managed to get a lot done.

LJD1 my partner always 'puts away' things then blames me for loosing it, gets right on my nerves!

Suppose I best follow my own instructions and get the kids uniforms in the washing machine!

Had some toast, put second load in DW and put BM on.

He is cooking dinner.. I'm not having any, I had toast.

Having a cuppa then putting the children to bed and going for a half hour nap myself then I am going to the pub about 10 with my mother... I didn't go yesterday so I am going today instead!!

WM's will be on once they are all out of their school clothes and into their pj's
