Weekly Flylady Thread 2nd July 2012

Valli

Ta for the lists for last week and this week JJ and Dusty (like I followed 'em;))

thought things were going to calm down but no...

have been 'volunteered' to help out at work Thurs - and I'm trying to get DD to dentist then to claim my raffle prize - teeth bleaching! By hook or by crook....

re the rusty bin - rub gently with stainless steel wool fine grade (or a brillo pad) to see if it shifts it (inconspicuous area first;) then a thin film of vaseline to seal it and stop it oxidising again (oxidation=rust) Unless Shortbird (for she too seems to know about these things) knows better.

Going to iron now.

My goodness they actually answered, tax thingy sorted so we can switch the tax over. Just the trip to Gosforth when it arrives.

Done some more in kitchen, managed to get my kids to clear the table *insert shock face* after setting it *insert second shock face*

Meal plan being worked on, so much in and out of ideas, might pop onto the meal plan thread for inspiration

I'm enjoying being a flylady :j

More work to do now, then later I will make tomorrow's lunch to take to work, and do a quick S&S of kitchen and bathroom.

Mrs_Bee

Yay! I have done everything off the list! :j (although if I'm honest kitchen day is probably the easiest for me - it's all downhill from now!)

Have also ferried kids to and from activities, made dinner, folded, sorted and put away dry washing, hung wet washing on airer, put DS1's disgusting trainers in the washing machine. Now off to do half an hour on the Wii Fit then collapse in a heap!

Wow everyone is doing brilliantly! So jealous I can't join in, this job is on hiatus and I was hoping to get home this evening. Need to try again in the morning (then hopefully go home and get started!).

LW, I know what you mean about decorative dragons - they're so heavy! That should re"ly bew a shocked smiley

Boodle, yes the kitchen is a particular bugbear but I still seem to complete it quickest - maybe I'm a glutton for punishment!!

Good morning
I am not sure what DH is doing upstairs - I suspect he may be ironing :T

Not sure how old your hubby is but if he has a younger single brother who also irons, send him my way!:p
