Weekly Flylady Thread 11th June 2012

wannabe_sybil

Cleaned sink yesterday despite sedated at dentist.

I am still absolutely on the floor, but will do the fling after OH and darling father have gone out for their evening. I expect them back roaring around 11.30pm. I will need to be asleep by @10pm to cope with little bear's waking habits, and they have to come through my sleeping area to get to their rooms. Hmm

I will also be emptying all and every bin as it is bin day tomorrow.

And I have a new iron. I have given it a quick road test and it is a wonder and marvel to have a non leaking iron that works. It has opened my eyes to exactly how poor my my previous iron was, even before I dropped it sole plate first on a carrier bag.

So tomorrow I will be doing my best to at least manage a fragment of the daily challenge plus iron, iron, iron...

First time on the PC today ( that's a miracle in itself!)

Many thanks for all the posivibes and well wishes for DD2 yesterday - apparently it could have been better, but it could have been much worse!

She is VERY tired today and we have struggled with today's revision for tomorrow's Geography exam, but by 4pm tomorrow the BIG ( 2.5 hours ) exams are over.

The bees nest has been resolved - someone came and sorted it today at the cost of £50! A good result as several websites quoted £500! And it wasn't 1 nest - it was 2!

Dd2 did her bit and moved the ironing from the chairs and I've done my bit tidying and polishing and sorting the kitchen out. Just DH to vac the lounge and chairs - I can't do it because I need to rest my neck.

So while DH watches football and vacs (although I think the vacuuming is looking less likely as the night goes on), I plan on chilling out.

Very quiet tonight, hope everyone ok and not flooded!

Glad she survived, read the English paper and assuming she is the same board as our school (first Q on transcript of child and mother doing a jigsaw) I was surprised, more like a psychology paper.

DS1 has Geog tomorrow too, good luck to your DD.

Busy day, little flying, paid stuff in the morning then DS3 competing for the school in an athletics event in the afternoon so minimal flying again I expect.

I'll go and do the list next and then tidy up the kitchen for the night.

Evening everyone

living room is always kept pretty tidy anyway and there's no clutter in there now - it usually a five minute tidy before bed but I must dust and wash the windows tomorrow.

I have a colleague with a similar problem. Could you pm me details of the company, if you have time? Thank you.


I've just skimmed the thread - hugs, posi-vibes and well-dones as appropriate. I'm adapting the lists for myself, leaving out and substituting as necessary.

Nothing done yesterday, other than making tea for the DSs and myself. Had a nasty headache (suspect AF's arrival is imminent) and spent the evening asleep on the sofa.
Much better tonight, but I didn't get in until 6pm, so not as much time to fly. Did 2 HHCs in the kitchen, dailies/list stuff/making tea and put DS2 to bed on time :T after delegating reading with him to DH (not onerous, as DS2 is a confident and keen reader). Also quickly tidied and hoovered in the LR.

I just got my mother a balloon for her birthday.. it is a dachshund! She will love it! ..

I've done 2 hours at diabetes meeting with DS3.. he really enjoyed it I think.. was so nice for him... thankfully someone offered us a lift home as he would have ended up hypo as it was he had 5 buns and 3 biscuits and was only 5.5 when we got in.. I was expecting something huge!

I've managed a couple of loads of washing today cooked dinner and attended a meeting at school re DS3.. he has been a shi*bag apparently.. before bed he was wanting hugs... I dislike 13 y/o's
