Weekly Flylady Thread 30th April 2012

Evening everyone

I'm exhausted - thank you Dustykitten for the HH Paperwork, I shredded and the 'pile' is no more:j

However, I didn't do so well with the HH tidy and declutter - I have 3 corners in my bedroom with 'stuff' in them (from when we had the flood), well I had 3, I now have 1, but it took me 8hh's:eek: and I sorted my filing cabinet which created a new pile - nowhere near as big as the original though

Laundry's all done and I have an ironing fairy, aka mum, who does my ironing every day so that will be all done when I get in tomorrow.

LR has been tidied and floor swept, DW on (still need to put another load of dishes in when it's done), WM on but nothing else has been done from today's list despite working for 4 hours:o but the house is still in pretty good shape and will look perfectly acceptable once the last of the dishes are in the DW.

take care

Welcome Glitterball,thrifty-gal26,flying_fresian and miasnanny (had to laugh at your name very similar to mine). Remember baby steps:)
I'm not a good role model but I'm trying extra hard to stay on top this week. This thread moves so fast it's sometimes hard to keep up!

Wooo hooo Monday is done. You know I can't work out how to copy,paste and strike through on the iPad! But it's done except for the mending but I've got some sorted for the morning. And the good good news for me is I did a lot in our bedroom too, so Tuesday looks doable too:)
Thanks lovelies:)
Pigpen can I just ask- ignore me if it's too much of an imposition. I think I remember you saying last week you have ten children I get confused with squeak and dot are they your littlies? X

Morning All

Congratulations bikelesschick!

Nothing on tonight as yet so I'm hoping to get quite a bit done. Running late this morning though as I had a bit of the CBA so I haven't actually done anything yet and I'm leaving for work in less than an hour.

On that note I'd better move.

Have a good day all

Hugs

I'm working from 7 until about 2.30 I think, so might get home in time for an hours hw before I collect the tots. They will wonder where I am this morning as I left before they woke. I haven't just left 'em alone you know, the in-laws came over so I could have an early start.

I'm finding this thread a great help, sometimes I just don't know where to start with the house but this really gives you focus and kind of stops the feeling that it will never all get done, as if you miss a day it will come around again, thanks x

Morning all, i'm back in this week. Thanks Dusty and juliejim for the thread and lists. :A

Had a busy weekend here, friday night was parents night at DD's club and she won a cup. Saturday was a full days shopping with DD, my mum and my sister. Sunday was just a day full of people poping in and out. Then yesterday DD found out she has won a prize through the NDCS, she'll find out on the day weather its 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. I'm thrilled for her because there was over 100 entries and it will be a big day out to collect her prize. :j

OH is very much up and down at the minute he started another job last week and got sacked, he didn't do anything wrong as he was only on trial for a week and somebody came in with more knowledge of the job and he's took it to heart. I'm getting the blunt of his moods at the minute.
Anyway gotta keep going.

Hi all newbies.
Embb how awful ((big hugs))
Natty glad to hear your OH's job has been safe.
Congrats bikelesschick.
Pigpen i hope things improve.

Right i better go sort my list..

lil_me

I did most of yesterday's list, sorry my post appears to have been lost

I'm in for today but we'll change that to put some of the bedroom laundry away as the piles are extreme & I can only do so much of that without pain. I'll try to finish my kitchen tho, I'm so unhappy about the state it's in (clutter rather than muck) I haven't opened my blinds for ages

Good luck all xx
