Olympic Weekly Flylady Thread 6th August 2012

Honey_Bear

:wave: Hi there Ionafan! I'm giong for a Bronze today, with an attempt at Gold in a later event. (I'm putting yesterday's occurences down to the weather, which was grey and yick.) Thank you for the encouragement.

Bossy (((((((hugs))))))))

Lamewolf May all your, and your OH's troubles be cured. (((hugs)))

FFP DS1 Congratulations! Wonderful news!

Roundtuit GWS.

Barksavingmad Pigpen has pre-empted my only suggestion.

And now for my GREAT news: I've found my socks!!! I didn't didn't declutter them to the CS as I thought, I'd put them neatly in a storage box to go up to the attic and then ... tucked it neatly behind something because I was busy Flying. I was depressed for three days because of those sox, not because they're particularly special, which they are, but because I couldn't believe I'd been so stupid while attempting to be all MSE. And now it turns out - I'm NOT! Yay me! :j

It's slightly worrying that there are several other boxes of gibble with them and I was no longer even seeing that particularly huge pile, though.

Valli~~ shove the old washing machine on ebay next free listing, as spares / collect only, but keep the draw for your mother and any other useful bits. > it may get it out of your way, and a few £ as well, someone may be able to use it for spares.

Bossy~~ hugs thinking of you.

Hoovering done yet again, where are all these bits coming from?
Kitchen floor done

Awarding myself the afternoon off work to watch the Olympic Horses.

Oh my!

Not only do I have to mentally separate BOSSY and BONNIE I now have to accept that Mrs_B and Mrs_Bee are two separate entities!

Valli there is no end to your talents, this should not faze you

I phoned friend to ask her to adopt son and budgie if I died in the night... ...Glad to say am still alive and feeling marginally better now.

Thank goodness :eek: Sorry you're feeling poorly but I did chuckle at your 'last request' phonecall

I was with you in the HHC piggers, Mrs_Bee & greent - I emptied and reloaded the DW, washed up some stuff by hand, put away some dried stuff, cleaned the WM filter and set it off on a hot wash with nothing in it to clean, hung out sheets, emptied & changed bin, brought stuff on stairs upstairs and into the rooms they belong in, ignored DS's request for a cuppa. Quick break then I'm off again for another HHC 3.00 - 3.30, anyone care to join me?

funfairprincess - congrats to DS!

Yeay to Honey Bear re socks!

In my HHC I vacuumed my bedroom, my landing and bathroom and down the stairs to teh next landing. Put away mine and DH's ironing from last night. Polished chests of drawers, vacuumed skirting boards, tidied loo roll stash(!), sorted and tidied my stockings drawer (yes - I have a whole drawer just devoted to stockings!!), found an unused and unwanted item for ebay's next FLW , decluttered an empty box, a read book and an unread book back to where they belong, sorted the minor floordrobes before they became major floordrobes and then emptied vacuum and cleaned filters


Now running to catch up with bonnie!

Barking- I am also using the summer to catch up on the cleaning as I go back to uni in September. I have nearly finished decluttering the house and already it is much easier working through the lists. Can't remember who posted it but I now live by the flylady mantra ' Don't put it down, put it away'.

Front garden cut, more washing on the line plus some brought in. Livingroom and front hall have been tidied and floors brushed. The 2 big boxes of toys have been put out in the shed, we'll see if the boys ever get them back. Dw back on again and kitchen table has been cleared and wiped.
