Weekly Flylady Thread 15th October 2012

Morning all

whole family is in a TGIF mood. Trying to decide whether to walk to town to get tea bags for the exercise or write a list and drive to Mr M to get stuff for the whole weekend and use my £5 off voucher.

Flying wash floors, clean shower room, start bed changing.

Morning all, it's been a busy week here. Mind you it will be a busy weekend too. DD away for the weekend with the NDCS and DS1 away with KD to see the football tomorrow. The whole house seems to be piggin this morning so i'll get the basics done then i need to see about some of the charity work, do more serious flying, playgroup run, pack DD up, leave DD to the NDCS place (it's over an hours drive each way), then get boys to clubs tonight and then more flying. Plus need to have DS1 up at 4.30am tomorrow morning.:eek:

Got a coffee maker yesterday and had a coffee at 7 last night, someone remind me never to do that again :rotfl:hardly any sleep and another coffee in me this morning to keep me awake.

Right i best go make a start....

Good morning all...

Im still here too! Plodding along. I was working yesterday so was up from 5am...then DS had karate so that was most of my evening gone too!

Im not spending enough time on Uni work at the minute either, but the house being such a state and boxes and bikes everywhere is getting to me... so I figure if I batter on with the house today (and the weekend), then Ill feel better, so will be more focused on my Uni work, rather than stressing about everything -- Does that make sense, or am I just procrastinating??


Either way, Im off into the kitchen to make tea and will fill the WM and the slow cooker first I think

Morning

WM is on. Clock has stopped and looking for a new battery I have caused much mess. I keep dropping things today.

Foggy here, school bus was early.

Dustykitten

Jo that makes sense to me.

All away to school/work now. Decided on going to Mr M so need to dry my hair, put WM o whilst school traffic finishes and then off I go.

Jo - makes sense to me to - a tidy (and clean) house makes for a calm, productive atmosphere (says she who can barely see an inch of wood on the PC desk:rotfl:)

I'm at home today and planning to get lots done. All I managed yesterday was the animals - I cleaned two gerbil cages (mine, they've had to be separated following the great bloodbath and demise of the third) and the cat litter tray and did some laundry. Oh and the bath got an impromptu clean because, it would appear while the young kitty will happily wee in the tray she won't you-know-what. At least she uses the bath so the deposit goes down the loo and the bath got a clean and it's not as awful as it would be elsewhere IYSWIM.

I'll be calling some HHCs during the day - hope you're in!

Right... SC filled, child up and fed... so now seems as good a time as any....

HHC ANYONE??

That makes sense to me (but I am the queen of procrastinators!!)

WM on, DH cleaned up the kitchen this morning :T I have printed out my tax returns & have DH's last 2 payslips for my meeting at the bank at 10.30. I am just waiting for Bubba to arrive. I am hoping he is awake as I want him sleep while I am at the bank Hopefully this will go our way.

Finish work at 3.30 today :j The dog will need walking, and I thought i may go shopping tonight to save me doing it at the weekend.

I may find the list now, and at least show willing

Catch up later

Morning flyladies and fly gents....I tried to get on the forum last night to post my day's flying activities but the forum was offline - rather than strike through, I am now highlighting in red things that I didn't get done, so when it comes round next week, I can try and make sure I knock them off.....

So much for a less intense day, although I confess the mess my beloved DS pulled out of the bottom of the wardrobe, I shovelled back in......I fear that will be on the frog list, but I MAY be tempted to look at it next week! On the upside looks like I have given myself a bit of a headstart today, but I have a pile of ironing with my name on it, so I will reserve judgement on how today's flying will go......

Catch up again later....happy flying one and all:j
