Weekly Flylady Thread 20th January 2013

Craftyscholar

Delighted to see you are getting out, Skinty, but please take things easy. You don't want to do damage to yourself.

Seems to be a lot of CBA around. I just made myself go down the road for milk etc. First time I had been beyond my path since last Thursday (i.e. before the snow came). Decided I was being a real wimp:o. I did take one of the 'family' walking sticks - more for reassurance than because I need one. Feel much better for doing it.

Since it's the bathroom today anyway, that's my next job.

Amyloofoo, you mentioned a free eB@y listing weekend - have I missed the notification email? When? The more pennies I can save towards our move, the better. I've decided I can't wait for the weather to cheer up in order to do a car boot, so everything that I'm flinging has got to go on eB@y (profit for me) or to the CS (no profit but it helps other people).

I haven't receied a notification either, but they're talking about it over on the 'make £10 a day' thread, and they usually know before I do anyway so I'll expect the email soon :rotfl:

I haven't managed to do the lounge yet, but I have finished 2 pieces of paid work and wiped down the sides in the kitchen / loaded the dishwasher. Am going to have some lunch now, but HHC at 1 anyone?

Sorry but I've read the thread and forgotten everything!! I was going to say lots but now can't remember owt!!

This is just like me! I don't know how so many of you seem to keep up! I'm really glad you all do though as it make the tread such a cosy, supportive place :T

Have done the daily stuff before and after school run (car today as still far too icy to contemplate cycling!) so no HH Exercise for me again today. I really need the exercise to at least try to counteract the biscuits and cakes that I enjoy making and eating :eek:

Have spent an hour & a half on student stuff this morning and need to carry on this afternoon as well as doing some more Flying. Going now for a nice cuppa and something on toast (beans? scambled eggs? cheese?...) Will be back later to look at todays list and to update

Have had a busy morning and have found a frog :rotfl:DS2 is climbing everywhere including in and out his cot so DH asked me to find the cotbed instructions so we can sort it this afternoon when he is off. Found the instructions in among tonnes of others some which I am sure we no longer need. Have got three folscrap folders so am going to organise them to make things easier to be found and get rid of the ones which are now redundant.

Well done skinty and holly for getting well enough to go home!

We didn't get up till 8 today :T and did grocery shop after brekkie. Got dd pj's. had to get her 3-4 as her 2-3 ones don't fit. She's also squeezing into her wellies and waterproofs. Even nursery said it was like trying to fasten a suitcase. I said I hoped they didn't sit on her...

Anyway, £s decluttered, and shopping all put away. Fridge organised, kids fed and turfed out into garden with sledge. They came back in after 15min asking to watch Harry potter! So here we are cosied up on the sofa.

Bathrooms done, will sort some more laundry later...

Hi, fellow Flyers.

OK, so far today pizza dough has been made, a loaf has been kicked off in the BM, Mr LW's clean washing has been put in a pile in the bedroom for him to put away tonight, and the voluntary job paperwork that came in the post has all been filed (work already done, as the District Manager now sends it via email, and just sends the hard copy on later, to avoid delay in getting membership cards out).;) Oh, and a big hairbrush-full of hair decluttered when I brushed it this morning. :(That's not so good.

I need to throw a duster round the bedroom in a bit; might also try and get the spare room (Friday's room) done, as Megan the Chocolate Labrador will be arriving tomorrow morning for a nine-day stay.:T It'll be good if the snow goes away so that I can take her out with the mobility scooter; I haven't set foot outside of the bungalow since last Saturday, and that was only a quick run into town for essential supplies. Correction - it was Friday afternoon, as Mr LW was wfh on early shift.

1 step closer I'd love to get a tattoo – always fancied having just a small outline of a Wolf done – but I fear doing so would kick off a really big lupus flare, so I haven't thus far plucked up the courage.:o

LouLouCake I'm an inveterate list-maker; it has been said of me that I even have a list of my lists!:D

Oh my, Skinty I came over all faint reading your post!:eek: It sounds awful; but I bet you're glad little Holly's arrived now. Do, please, take it steady when you get home; otherwise I shall have to come over and give you a talking-to.;)

I'm currently debating whether to bother with a bit of lunch; I haven't eaten at all yet today, but I don't actually feel hungry.:( I know if Mr LW was here, he'd be getting on my case to eat, but he's not here......;) I think I'll start on the bedroom and see how I feel after a HHC in there.:o
