Weekly Flylady Thread 1st April 2013

Dustykitten

Been to town so food stocked up, library books returned (and a couple of family history ones picked up), banking done.

Wash No1 dry already so wash 2 on the line.

Time for a cuppa and 15mins tidying the kitchen then I need to entertain DS3 for a bit, suffering from being on his own!

Narc0lepsy

Afternoon all. Bit of a shaky start to day; still feeling a bit under the weather with a cold so wimped out of gym, but it's really not a bad one so I need to pull myself together. Gathered mobile library books together and stopped off at village pump - no library van. It always coincides with the 'green bin' collection day so I had to text OH as I knew collection day is moved on a bank holiday. Dopey cow, it was last week (mob library comes fortnightly).

Progressed to sorting out OH's horse with food and clean stable, made up his tea and breakfast. Filled a couple of bags with ........stuff to put on the garden.
Drove out to buy more horse food and get a couple of birthday cards.
Stopped at church on way back to check flowers still ok for this week.
Stopped to post birthday card and noticed Autoglass van driving through village, which reminded me that I got a stone chip in windscreen on Wed and had meant to ring them.
Got home, fished out car insurance details and found phone number dedicated to windscreen claims so now booked for Tuesday (they are busy - had hoped they could do it before we go to visit friends in Norfolk tomorrow - so hope Pigpen's hurricane doesn't turn into hailstones and descend on the A14).

Just had coffee so next plan to retrieve something from the freezer to defrost for tonight, feed birds then lunch!
Afternoon plan is office and money blitz. I'm going to see my "financial advisor" i.e. my brother, in a couple of weeks as he's experienced at advising people setting up own business so I need to give some semblance of having thought things through.........

HHMopping at 1.15.......any other Mop Evaders want to join me? lol

ill join you later, im planning to mop bathroom hall and kitchen floors this afty (once HD has gone back to work)

helped mil sort some money and paperwork stuff out, recycled her glass and sorted the compost bin out for her.

at home, decluttered some snacks for DS2 and the friends on the park, decluttered some junk from a drawer, dealt with post and decluttered junkmail, now have all the important paperwork back from DH and DS! driving licences so need to put them all safely in the folder with the paper licence parts. after writing all the numbers down from documents that ive been meaning to do for ages.

found a stack of those weights that helium balloons come attached to - going to declutter them back to the shop they came from so they can be recycled to other customers.

Well I have got DD2 an emergency GP appt at 4pm - her tonsils have been swollen for days and she's been in bed for 48hrs plus..and she can't swallow...

And my mum phoned from Scotland where she's visiting friends..... she has confessed to a small accident in the car (which may or not be a writeoff!)

I am tempted to abandon today and go to bed...

I'm the best mum in the world today as I have agreed to 2 friends for a sleepover - well it just puts the number in the house back to 'normal'.

I'm working on finances which is taking me longer than expected (no chuckling yesterday's flylady meeters!) so flying has only been laundry so far.

Hi Valli, really glad to see you're still here - keep channelling :)

Not sure how many times I can get on here, especially when I get back to work, but I will be using the lists every day.

Today I have mainly pulled my cooker out and cleaned under it, around it, walls, sides of cupboards, etc as it was DISGUSTING!!! It doesn't fit in the gap between the cupboards and the dust/grease/dog hair builds up around it so much...

Good afternoon everyone, well I did manage the early start that I wanted but yet again I seem to have lost most of the day somewhere.

Today I have managed to:

Check Mr A delivery, scan and put shopping away
Sort though 500 emails and dealt with anything needing sorted
Done some work on new business, as today is the official first day
Completed surveys and daily clicks

My plans for the rest of the evening is to:

Make the dinner
Tidy the kitchen
Sort out the laundry and put another load on, empty the drier
Sort out some more business paperwork
Sort the plastic containers that I need for planting vegetable and herb seeds
Spend an hour sorting out recipes for the folder that I am putting together
Make lunches for tomorrow

I left the list with DH last night, he is off with the kids this week & next so I shall see what they can achieve between them, funnily enough DD’s room was tidied when I got in from work yesterday as her dad told her she wasn’t going out until it was done. Only a few things taken off list as I need to see what kids have done when I get home...... :rotfl:...... if anything! Level 1 in kids room should be a level 3 for me!!!

We did our seeds :T they are out in the coldframe.

Had a good dinner of chicken and bacon salad, plus potato waffle each for tots. Even DD ate well, and she hasn't really for a couple of days...

Bit of a toy tidy, and we are now cuddled up with a film, cup of milk (tea for me).

Very chilled day!
