relax mermaid! none of us will beat you over the head with our special ostrich feather duster retailing at however many dollars just for dissing the original flylady. You will find the Moggins/lil-me version much more helpful. the lists are more doable esp if you remember that stuff comes round again all too soon if you miss it the first time. Also they won't try to sell you anything, ram religion down your neck or tell you off if you feel like a martyr. There is also no collapsing into purple puddles whatever the wotsit they are. Also flylady.net was always telling me to go to bed at stupid o'clock in the afternoon - some chance. I am still subscribed but to the digest version so i only need to read the bits i want to but i pretty much try to stick to the lists hereI'm going to feed our children non-organic food and with the money saved take them to the zoo - half man half biscuit 20080 -

Not too bad at all, thankfully all pretty quick jobs to do.
Thanks to DH getting home from his seminar early I managed to get my ebay parcel posted, dont think the lady behind the counter was too impressed and by the time I came out there was a queue of 6 waiting to be served - and I only had 6 parcel :rolleyes: How do you lot with bags full get on?:eek:
So others for today:-
S & S bathroom
Buy black gloss for shed door
Check ebay items - end tomorrow!
Make rice pudding in slow-cooker
Put WM on
Check clothes on airer and iron
Also need to check outside as blowing a gale here so have a feeling garden furniture may be all over the place:rolleyes:
Happy flying0 -
Morning Shell2001 and anyone else who's up at this time of the morning!
We were up for 5.30 as well but that's nothing unusual.
Well should get on better with today's list than yesterdays!
No downstairs toilet
Hall too small for anything to get left in it else I can't get the pushchair through.
So just need to clean kitchen and hoover hall - it doesn't sound too big a job if I just say it like that.
Catch you all later

Downstairs toilet (if you have one) don't have one small hall aswell so will be quick!

If you fancy an extra job, under stair cupboards/other storage areas, :eek: what's lurking? Sort any clutter for ebay, freecycle, charity etc make sure you can close the door after sorting through, without standing something against it!

Morning all...I'm shattered today as I was up until middnight doing a "remote viewing" experiment. I slept well though once all the noises had stopped in the room. :eek:
Anyways I've decided to walk to town and get the bus back... I'm not trying to carry stuff home from town, unless I'm done early enough to walk it.Need to be home by midday to make sure the heaters are cooled down - I need to leave them on so they can dry out the washing while I'm out...don't want the gasman to be seeing my clean undies :rotfl: Right, best get on :wave:
Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
Morning all you lovely flyladies!!
My plan today is to tackle the huge washing mountain!! Since me and DH have been together (nearly 5 years) there has never been a point where there was less than 4 loads in the basket. I'm getting really close to having NO loads in the basket!! If i actually manage it, i think i might even post a picture of my empty washing basket(s)!!What the Deuce?0
