Weekly Flylady Thread 1st April 2013

Valli/Dusty looks like another good day for the garden here too so I will be going out very shortly.

We had to take a low 8 foot branch off the camelia yesterday (weight of the snow had split the branch) - needs chopping down to fit in the bin. Gutting as it is absolutely covered in flower buds, and the tree looks odd with its canopy lifted to such an extreme. Some damage to the wisteria too but nothing major.

I probably should just quickly do my work ironing first, boys go back tomorrow but I did theirs last weekend when the weather was awful *smug glow*

Lawns are a blue job here as I am banned from anything mechanical due to my general incompetence , must get the boys to clear the grass of logs so he can do it. One of the dogs steals them from the wood pile and collects them on the lawn.

Mmm seems like we all need to get out in our gardens. This is day 10, last day, of time off the paid stuff and there is still so much on my list to do. I have however, achieved quite a bit and had proper catch ups with DH, DS and DD other than just ships passing in the night (is that the right phrase?).

Right, just finished my cuppa, so plan is:

Walk dogs
Gather up dog toys in garden and put them in WM
Mop all floors
Sort out border in garden

Other jobs still on list that I will try my best to fit in today:

Hem and put up new curtains in kitchen
Sort out understairs cupboard
Clean insides of windows
Finish sorting recipes from mags into photo albums

Hope everyone has a great day

Morning all, quite a late start today as we were rudely awoken in the middle of the night by a large framed photograph falling off the wall and landing on the sideboard below it, It managed to knock over a vase of flowers, break a dish, smash the glass in the frame and cascade water down the front of the sideboard into all of the drawers!! Hence a lot of cursing, mopping, hoovering and emptying of drawers was needed. Grrrrr

On the positive side of things I did want to have a sort out of the drawers in the sideboard before I go back to school and luckily the usual Sunday board gaming session is a someone elses house today (because you can't see my dining table ATM) so it's no t soo bad

right off for a shower them I'll finish my shopping list before braving the supermarket

hugs spoons etc etc by the door, help yourself

msgnomey - loving the Pollyanna attitude, Valli will be proud

Just finished emergency lunch, guess who let their blood sugar get too low because they were too engrossed in teasing out couch grass?

DS3 fed too, WM2 put on the line, WM3 now in progress. Back to the garden for me.

Always better when you can turn a negative into a positive!:D

Been round the garden with a carrier bag (for poop) and the green bin (for weeds and dead twiggy things). The old cat decided to add to the collection. Mmm...(gets peg for nose).

Removed, from the road edge in front of my house, an empty fag packet and evidence that someone, somewhere, has been having 'more fun than me' along with the packet it was in originally. I assume it fell out of someone's car.:o Bagged and binned now. So Decko - I was thinking of you!

Lawks those binmen earn their money!

After dinner I want to mow the lawn.
