Weekly Flylady Thread 10th December 2012

Morning all!

Flying officially suspended until this wretched bug is over - I felt reasonably good yesterday - today I feel wrung out. Symptoms re-emerged in the middle of the night.

So today I am taking it very easy - I'm sitting on the sofa awaiting an Amazon order - the blasted sightscreens have yet to arrive too - just my luck if it's today!

Not flying well this week. Not decluttering well this week.

So the plan is to put on more layers, have a tea, set a timer to do 15 minutes floordrobe from yesterday and the lounge/hall floor/ stairs for 15 mins. My stairs are already cluttering again. Some of which are xmas presents so need to write cards and get rid ASAP.

Hugs to those under the weather :A

Who's up for a HH from 8.30am? :j

So cold! DH is doing the school play thus mirning. I'm off to work later.

I've emptied the airing cupboard in readiness for the planned repair to the broken pump

I need to do a Mr T shop. The ironing is getting out of control so that's my job for tonight.

DS3 has to go back to fracture clinic tomorrow. I hope they get a paediatric dr to see him. My friend is using her GOS contacts to get me some names. Time to use the medical cover DH has from work.

I hope everyone has a good day.

mrs-moneypenny

morning all

noflying yet im just about to popout and hand deliver neighbours cards and still a few in the post box

will wrap and fly this afternoon

govs meeting last night and i made the mistake of buying a new book there, i'm not a teacher i'm a playground supervisor the book is The art of being a brilliant teacher i grabbed a coffee after decluttereing the kids and decided to have a flick through opps i'm on page 57 now and have had to force myself to put it down or nothing will get done, it almost makes me wish i was a teacher (if i'd stayed on at school and been clever enough) ive laughed out loud and been inspired. if you teach and it turns up at your libary grab a copy its definitely worth a read.
i'm thinking how insulted my kids teachers would be to get a copy for christmas

hope everyone is well
hugs to all who need them
will be back later to put my list up and play catch up

welshdreamer I usually use OvenPride, unfortunately you have to buy it from either Aldi or a supermarket - it is usually £3.99 odd. But it is blooming brilliant I leave the shelves in the bath with some of it in a bag overnight, and put some on the oven floor for a while. Be warned it is potent and lethal to icky stuff The shelves come up lovely and clean the next day and the floor is nice and clean. The sides I can't touch as they are self cleaning The door glass I take out and just wash with normal washing up liquid water, and a good scrub both sides.

Failing that call the professionals in..:T
