Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd April 2013

Vitamin D to start you reading, it certainly makes me feel better to get outside (and it is due to get warmer as the week progresses)

Hi all

I'm in again this week.

Thank you Dusty for the lists this week

Hugs to bossy, Mt5, CY & DD, LW, Natty & anyone else going through it at the moment.

Bossy - sometimes it creeps up on you for no reason, something minor may set it off and you find yourself crying/weepy. It doesn't mean you're weakening IYSWIM. You're one strong lady, me and late OH didn't have children together (he had 2 from a previous relationship) I'm not sure I could have been the rock you are to your children or coped as well as you have/are if I'd had children. Be kind to yourself.


Flying wise

Cleaned bath, sink & loo
Mopped Bathroom floor
Wiped kitchen surfaces
WM on
DW emptied
Sinks cleaned with bleach solution
Towels folded and put away
Kitchen floor mopped
Kitchen bin emptied

Spoons for all

Been totally rubbish today. I had some small surgery a week ago and its still giving me jip. I just pushed myself too hard at work.

Only really managed to s+s kitchen, dw filled then emptied and a load of washing hung out. Next load in as we set our machine to go on overnight on economy.

Must do better tomorrow. Hoovering is still beyond me at the moment with recovery but will try to get other stuff done x

Bossy.... if you need a day out I'm just an hour on the choochoo.. I can't go far but you are more than welcome to come tidy my pit come visit us! I am sure Little Miss Naughty and Little Miss Naughtier would love a friend!

My lot have spent the day in the garden with their coats on.. it is dry if nothing else and my washing dried beautifully ... See, I found a positive from today.. even though I feel like rubbish (I think we all have bit of a bug)... OH doesn't feel good either.. he even raised his voice to me earlier.. which got him a very stern warning!! I think he forgot his place lol... *places OH firmly back under the thumb*

He cooked dinner, after my tantrum yesterday I was not doing food tonight.. I was feeling ropey and stood for half an hour with my pelvis and hips killing me to cook him and the 4 children dinner and he said 'I'm not really hungry'.... How he wasn't wearing it I'll never know!

Here's hoping my body parts feel better tomorrow and the duvet doesn't make me ache more which it did last night!

Oh but realised I cleared the ironing yesterday and meal planned then too and went to aldi on the way home from work so get the bits to make the plan happen...

Seems I did more of Mondays list than I thought I did!

Bossy, ah, I hope you feel better soon, you have done a lot over the last couple of weeks and maybe it's caught up on you??? Have a break and spend some precious moments with those lovely children xx

Dusty, I think you have a point there, if the weather is better tomorrow then I might do a walk (or 2 or 3 ) up the school for my Vit D.

HHI completed while I watched Paul Hollywood making bread. I love lardy bread and was drooling over it! Must get the book for DH.... and me

I seem to have got a lot done today without feeling overwhelmed. Tomorrow's list is also do-able, though I've got less time because of afternoon and evening visitors:

Tuesday - Living Room and all downstairs
Level one
[STRIKE]Clear the floor[/STRIKE] and hoover through
[STRIKE]Collect up any leaflets, newspapers, school letters which can be recycled[/STRIKE] - Done
Level two
Dust the tv and other electricals
Piles - how are yours? Deal with at least one All the stuff on the breakfast room table is DH's; I'll tidy my desk
Level three
Wash any throws, curtains, cushion covers After today's washing marathon I will leave this until Wednesday and give WM time to recover
[STRIKE]Declutter your purse of receipts and your handbag of sweet wrappers[/STRIKE]

Extras
Empty out any pots of dead stuff, [STRIKE]sow some seeds (indoors)[/STRIKE], see what has sprung today (I love the way something news bursts to life everyday this time of year) I will Freecycle all the hyacinth bulbs that I grew indoors - someone might want a nice display next year. I simply cba to plant them out in this garden when we're hoping to move soon. I did fork round all the borders on Sunday. Might have to buy a couple of summer flowering plants to fill gaps. Lawns need mowing - wonder if DH will have enough energy to do them?
Get some hot soapy water and wash your front and back doors and the frames.
