Weekly Flylady Thread 12th November 2012

LameWolf

Hi all

I'm so glad I got today's Flying done early; as Mr LW is wfh today, we washed my hair this morning, which is always a major task, and exhausts me.:( But at least it'll be nice and clean for when Jessie arrives,;) as I always have to have a photo taken with my canine guests; I get a copy, and the owners get a copy so that they can see who has been caring for their dog.:o

Skinty glad the leaves have gone – car boots do not make good compost bins!:eek:

Honey Bear fwiw, we get through about 2 loo rolls a week; one loo, two adults, one of whom works full time (though wfh some days) the other of whom has a very dodgy digestive system, details of which I won't go into._pale_ I buy whatever's on 12 rolls for the price of 9 offer. HTH.:o
Glad you liked the candle idea, btw; I use candles a lot, to focus energy for different reasons.

CY I hope you're feeling a bit better by now. Shame on the rest of the family not noticing you going without food:mad: – if I don't eat, Mr LW is on my case like a shot!:A

Dusty and Honey Bear – enough with the “C” word you two!

Re the “Extras” on today's official list – am I the only person who doesn't keep scrappy bits of paper?:D Receipts that we actually need to keep are in a ring binder, in alphabetical order of supplier; recipes on odd scraps of paper get typed up, saved on my recipe USB flash drive and the paper scrap disposed of; almost all our bills come electronically and are saved on a flash drive; the rest are filed in ring binders, and weeded annually. I have an entry in my PDA to “do all filing” on the first of each month; I haven't needed to do this for at least a year, because what little we get, I file away immediately – it's as easy to do this as to throw it in the tray for later.:o

heylo - im new - finding it really hard to get on top of things atm

just moved house (i say just - it was a month ago) , have a four year old and a three month old and starting work next week just one day.

i still havent managed to get unpacked and i swear everytime i turn around a new pile of stuff appears - so i decided to start this with you guys if you dont mind im terrible for motivation but i do like lists so tell me if i do this wrong please

Friday – End of week roundup
Level One
HH putting stuff away
Level Two
Hoover floor any floors not done this week or those that need redoing
[STRIKE]HHme time[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Change a child’s bed[/STRIKE]
Level Three
Empty all the bins

Do a job from your own list

Extras:
Despite the promises decades ago that we were heading for a paperless world it doesn’t seem to have arrived! So declutter paperwork, from files, intrays, magazines etc. Do you still have the receipts from last Christmas stuffed in a drawer? Leaflets for places you will never visit; recipes you will never make get rid of it all.

well thats a start i think

Welcome RJH .....we are all on here because we hate housework, lack motivation, are busy busy, have let things slide for too long, or just like to have a bit of company doing mundane stuff (all of the above apply to me )

There are no right or wrongs, no judgement here, everyone's friendly.... a little bit of flying everyday will make a difference, promise

Good luck, and I will watch out for your posts!

Goodintentions

Good afternoon

I have been to the dentist. I am numb, but it is all done
I have also sent an invoice & 2 yo check by email, so that is another thing off my list.

I need to do the school run in about 40 mins, so not sure if I will have time for any lunch

I will catch up later

Paperwork depends partly on your life style. I get lots as a parent from schools, clubs and heaps of governing stuff which I cant always get rid off!

Lunch decluttered
Washing on the line.

Quick tidy in the kitchen then off to Mr M, Master L, Mr S and the toy shop.
