Weekly Flylady Thread 7th January 2013

boddy

Just the dailies today and a few little jobs. Went to my cousins this morning as I had not seen her over the Xmas. So we had a nice catch up. Came back and went shopping with DD. Then it was time for SW so de cluttered a pound there.

Dishes washed and the plastic drip catcher from bottom of oven cleaned.
Kitchen tidied.

Will catch up a bit with the lists in the morning.

Hugs, spoons and sticks where needed.

Right, blood sugar only a bit above normal so time to stop flying now and let the frenzy of cleaning carry on "burning" the excess sugar while skintbaby and I rest up -while I keep stabbing and checking how it is doing.


Stupid Mr Krippelling and his exceedingly good cakes - one little mouthful caused all this aggro :mad: being pregnant with a chronic health condition is not easy by a long stretch, but they are always worth it in the end

Now to fell the tree trunks that are my legs - actually worth looking at the list now and seeing what I can strike off now , then some definite ME time

I think, while the Sloblady thread is quite funny, the OP has missed the whole point of Flylady.

e bay sales packed
cat litter tray washed
recycling bin out - didn't feel it necessary to weigh the paper - why dirty the scales? :rotfl:

OH has invited a work colleague to stay for three nights next week and for some reason has now gone all precious on me and decided the house should be [STRIKE]tarted up[/STRIKE] cleaned properly. ..... I am a bit ahead of myself - the oven is still sparkley, and I've done the sink and the hob, and the kettle and toaster look like new. The dog doesn't, and I don't but hey ho, you can't have everything.

It's just as well it's his turn to cook tonight because he'd be on bread and scrape if it were my turn.

Honey Bear, you are an absolute :A

If I were you, I should book pampering sessions at OH's expense for myself *and* the dog (with different beauticians, of course!)
:rotfl::rotfl:

Why not let OH show off his cooking skills to the visitor one evening, so that you can put your feet up? Perhaps they'd care to wash up together as well? :eek:

Oh - just look at that! - do I see a pig-shaped shadow passing across the moon?

Ionafan - you're lovely! And believe it or not, he will be cooking on the third night!

In the meantime, he's off to a 90th birthday party over the weekend on the other side of the country :shudder: to which I was invited, but of course 'couldn't leave the dog' - one of the reasons I got her in the first place. Works every time.

My deadline is Tuesday 15 January, and it's a project I've been working on for two years, so this guest, much as I like him, isn't coming at the best of times for me, but OH is generally pretty supportive so I can't complain. He's never really been that interested in the state of the house before, but he even dusted his own office today. He must be coming down with something.

Go for it Optimistic Mummy! I finally managed to stop after 30 years of puffing like a good 'un about six years ago. Wishing you well for it.
