Christmas Flylady Thread 24th December 2012

Dustykitten

Been doing a bit of paperwork, updating files, flinging stuff but I never seem to make much progress with it.

Fire lit, dinner cooking, DH and DS3 out for a run.

Need to do a bit of ironing later and have just washed DS2's work shirts for tomorrow and Saturday, school uniform is all done though.

After getting restless I decided to tackle the dump pile in my room (aka to sell/store/project/homeless pile) and the boxes under one side of my bed (DD keeps moaning she doesn't know where anything is. They're clear boxes all she has to do is look! :mad:). Now the under bed boxes are labelled, and my towering 5ft high (maybe more) boxed pile is reduced to 4 boxes so far... the rest is spread over my bed and the floor I ran out of sellotape (using it to stick large clear labels on the boxes, made out of a roll of kids art paper ) and decided to have a break and something to eat before I go back up and finish putting the last 2/3 boxes away. I also found all my giftwrapping ribbons, stick on bows and tissue paper I've spent all year looking for :mad::o They'll be homed in the "gift centre" box under my bed so I don't loose them again

Off to the kitchen now to see what I can rustle up to eat that isn't chocolate or biscuits

HI all. Not much flying today although pleased how I'm gradually eating my way through the fridge and worktop contents.......for once I didn't grossly over-cater in the food dept. Took my mum to catch her bus home this morning so did a good rally round the sales and got a few bargains. Haven't dared get on the scales this week, but after the last few month's success, decided to treat myself to some bargains in the Pineapple shop as all my gym/zumba clothes are old, scruffy and prone to working their way down my hips during some of the livelier numbers....purchases helped by lovely young shop attendant about 35yrs younger than me who managed to sound interested and advised me on what to wear with what, and chatted about where I did zumba!
Got home and had "lunch" around 3.30 then lost momentum for planned hoover and tidy in favour of Fiddler on the Roof and the Addams Family!! Oh well, start with renewed enthusiasm tomorrow.

Whoever mentioned decluttering chocolates, well said.
Actually I did put one washing machine load on. Big deal.

Tots away to bed early, although DD had nearly 2hrs nap this afternoon! We have taken some toys upstairs, and they enjoyed playing with those for an hour whilst I tidied their wardrobes and drawers.

Couple of crates of Xmas stuff in loft now so spare bed is clear. Kitchen cleaned up after dinner, but there is a train track and a jigsaw on the LR floor. DR is clean and clear, apart from the airer, which is covered in laundered Xmas table linen.

A productive today, but I need an early night too. My eyes are burning from lack of sleep, so a little reading time then bed for me.

Hopefully a peaceful night...

Evening flypeople. I didn't get any emails or phone calls at the paid stuff today so just did a few catch up jobs. Flying wise, as well as the dailies, I've S&S kitchen and bathroom, emptied all bins and sorted recycling.

DH made our tea (with enough left for my lunch tomorrow) and just for a change I've actually already done the washing and wiping up!

Tomorrow is paid stuff again, and I've some system testing to do, but will try to fit in HHI and whatever else I can.

Enjoy your evening everyone.

Ah the hoarder next door Ch 4

Just what you need to feel good about your own mess

Quite sad how it started.

Had a lovely tea with HM quiche that I havent made in years. Kids demolished the lot so its a good job I saved half of my GF one for DH who hasnt eaten yet. Just spending the evening chilling now as eldest kids helped clear away.

Roll on next Wednesday! Don't get me wrong I luuuurve having Dr Dragon home all the time (and he has almost fixed my sick desktop :j:j) but I can't seem to get on with anything at the moment (apart from the fact that I am shattered and can't sleep :mad:, well just drained really )

I would like to take my decorations down too but will hang on a little while longer.

I'm slowly taking mine down bit by bit - but I am hanging on to the tree for a bit longer as it looks so pretty up the end of the room

Haven't watched The Hoarder Next Door, not sure I could as I would feel so emotional watching it.

Ooh HM quiche - what was it? I would love to make a quiche, you wouldn't be kind enough to share the receipe would you? Pretty please with cherries on top

Tooch I did have my shower - in fact I had a really lovely one Must admit I did feel a lot better after it

Not doing much now, watching EE and then another round of pottering..lol

Kitchen is clean and tidy, LR is almost tidy, DR is full of all the Xmas stuff I've taken down - I'll keep it in there till the weekend and then I'll box it up and put it away

Plan fo tomorrow is to go to the City Centre so DS can spend his vouchers at CEx
