Weekly Flylady Thread 12th March 2007

Evening al, Wednesdays lists now up Keeping it shorter for Pigpen of course, she'll have me shot for being Hitler I think!

Still not got PC sorted so on a laptop with a dying battery again, chargers not working right.

Bedrooms completely finished, added a few finishing touches today and love it, but being new room found it tricky to get to sleep last night, and fell out of bed twice (sleeping on a different side )

Sitting rooms done apart from the corner where I am in the middle of removing everything from the desk to move the desk upstairs. It's a full massive corner desk and is taking some emptying!

I best go get some more done, well after I have read the rest of the thread.

(Oh and I got an apology off DP after blatently ignoring his moods for the last few days, I came home and he'd moved the desk to where I wanted it and made the bed! Then said sorry for being a moody **** for the last few days, forgiven, but not forgotten!!!)

Well the shower worked and I've managed without a nap (!) - guess I will sleep well tonight and I will make sure the timer on the cooker is not set for 4am which will ensure a better night's sleep!

I feel pleased with what I got done, especially after the computer fiasco (thought I was a bit technically minded until today - will call on your expertise next time debbiecatz ) and my list now looks like this:

[STRIKE]Need to add rubbish and recycling to the list too - bin and recycling day tomorrow[/STRIKE].

Phew - will sleep well tonight!

Pleased to see it is the master bedroom tomorrow as it needs doing. Will also try and do the bathroom as my birthday on Thursday and don't intend doing any housework, and want a clean and tidy house as well. Celebrations continue Friday evening and the weekend (with my new man so realistically don't think much flying will be done after tomorrow.

Can't believe cleaning the vacuum out is there - I did mine today (although only because it got clogged up so seized the opportunity - in pre-flying days I would have cursed and used it as an excuse not to vacuum!

DD just come home from her part time job in Waitrose and said she is a bit concerned about all this cleaning malarkey and wondered how long it would last, although she admitted she liked it tidy and sparkly. I also told her that if I didn't come on here I wouldn't get half as much done - feel as though I have to 'check in' to confirm what I have been up to and wouldn't dare tell lies about what I've done! She is having a friend round to stay Saturday night when I am not here so it will be nice not to have to charge around madly tidying before she comes, which is what used to happen.

Oh forgot - also did an extra job - put up two of my daughters canvases from her GCSE Art. Been meaning to do it for ages and they have been 'decorating' the floor. Took all of 5 minutes. Why does it take so long to get round to things?

Got a few things to do in addition to the list tomorrow but will list them in the morning. Bit tired now, and in any case, will be an excuse to come on here for a while!

Better get to bed now. Night all.
