Weekly Flylady Thread Week 23 April 2007

cha97michelle

Thanks lil-me. It's a good way of keeping up with this without being overwhelmed, and at the moment i need to focus on this to keep my mind off everything else. Still no news, but s*ds law, one of the cats is also now not well, looking like it is a water infection, and it is seriously annoying me by wanting to be in and out, and being unable to have a wee. The other one is even more annoying though as it keeps following us round mewing. :mad: As if i haven't enough to worry about.



Oh well, tomorrows plan:
Monday 23/4:
Level One
Clean floors
Level Two
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
Wipe window sill, clean any marks off window if required
Dust any extra furniture in dining room, checking for cobwebs on way round
Wipe dining table (clean table cloth if necessary)
Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front
Level Three
Clean microwave
Clean cupboard door fronts and the front of appliances
Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky
Clean oven if you didn’t do it last week
Declutter mission task
27 fling boogie, grab a bag and clear that clutter! – have 15 items to list on amazon so will try to do that.

Deal with post
Make baby bottles
Ring vet to get an appointment
Take cat to vet
Visit parents to see how I can be useful - remember to give them their door key back
Go to shop – get bread, milk, sarnie stuff
Cut babies finger and toe nails
Wash bathmats

Hi lil-me and everybody.

Well I'm in this week. I have stopped by Flylady a couple of times before but found it very difficult to join in. I work varying hours ie early morns, days, evenings or a combination and sometimes all. My work is ad-hoc, so there is not much planning in advance for when I may have time free. I also work weekends and am usually soooo tired when I get home that I just crash! However, if I can just achieve level 1 on those days, I might get further.

I am sooo disorganised and love the idea of your organisational tips, I also love the idea of the 27 fling boogie, but think it might work against what I am aiming for lol :rotfl: I have enough trouble trying to decide between a few items, which ones are actually going to hit the bin, I will have no time left for anything after procrastinating over that many lol.

I am going to make this thread a belated new years resolution lol.

lil_me

Thanks for the support everyone, I was hoping the changes would be worth it, what I sent to the BGs was slightly different but then thought of the levels system. Seems sensible, I would rather aim high and reach higher!

jjef welcome back, was wondering where you were hiding, sure you'll be back on top of things in no time.

susy welcome, the lists are for everyone to take or leave as they please, hope it helps you like it has the other Flybabes.

Aimee hope the fella is ok, I have friends out there and in Iraq, DPs Mam just got back from Iraq on leave Friday and she was in the conference centre that got hit and at other places just missing car bombs etc, must be scary, saying that we don't get on well so less said about that the better. Or I'll say something like 'Better luck next time' Trust me with DAMN good reason! Of course it's a worry, you're just human like the rest of us and have a heart. I would be worried if you weren't concerned.

Kitchens almost done, bench needs chopping, will take door off tomorrow, hopefully they won't arrive at 7.30am which was the time they said from but best get up earlier and do it then just incase, will move fridge then aswell and clean out ready for the freecycle person collecting it.

Puppys kept me busy tonight, new antibiotics and she threw up all over the floor she seems better now its out as she was just laying looking poorly before and now she's bugging the older dog :rotfl: I think he prefers her poorly. Best go she needs her medicine.

Pigpen just saw and read properly your sig. Dead impressed!! You too scaredy cat. Thats a pretty hefty reduction in a short time.

One more set to sort out from today, plus a whole collection of random photos that I've taken in our garden.

Hello! Welcome to all newbies!

Thanks Lil_me for the new look, know you've had a stressful weekend but thanks for making time for us.
Michelle - thinking of you, you are being brilliant support for your family by the sound of it, hope your cat is ok and thanks for reminding me I must tackle baby nails tomorrow (they're weapons!).
Scaredy cat - isn't it funny how we can share with strangers but am glad you do and that your mums ok.
Pigpen - welcome back! Nice to read your posts, please keep all your germs though lol!

Right, I'm back in this week! I'm moving house next week so I'm going to need to aim for level three to get things spick and span for a relatively stress free move. No doubt I'm going to want to whinge at some point, so if anyone wants to nod and agree with me at any point, that's just fine!

Level One
Clean floors
Level Two
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
Wipe window sill, clean any marks off window if required
Dust any extra furniture in dining room, checking for cobwebs on way round
Wipe dining table (clean table cloth if necessary)
Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front
Level Three
Clean microwave
Clean cupboard door fronts and the front of appliances
Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky
Clean oven if you didn’t do it last week

My list:
Freecycle and bookshop for boxes
redirect mail
clean under the sink
start calls to change address

Wish me luck! :rolleyes:
