Weekly Flylady Thread 21st May 2007

Hello All

Late checking in today. I knew Mondays fab day would not last! Today was a bit of a pig really. Basics done:-

S & S kitchen (about 10 times!)
S & S Bathroom
S & S Lounge - did it properly last week plus it gets tidied everyday (whim out I know:o )
Popped to post office
weeded edge between next doors fence and ours
Got rest of veg etc I need till Friday (now £3 over budget for this month:eek: :rolleyes: )
Had DD1 friend round for lunch and afternoon - only 2hr 40 mins but :eek: :eek: :eek:
Cooked roast for tea
Made a batch of chinese takeaway S & S sauce from index:D

When I picked DD1 up from pre-school she told me she fell over in the playground but 2 of the leaders saw and dealt with it. Bit unusual for them not to tell me at pick up time. This afternoon a bruise has appeared on her face and the inside of her lip is a massive blood blister (didnt find this till DH cleaned her teeth and she said be careful its sore!)- am very :mad: that they did not mention this. So off to office tomorrow to check it was written in accident book (usually parents are given a form to sign). Not happy her having facial injury and it not being recorded (always some loon who could accuse me or us of it), will try to take deep breaths and speak slowly when i do this.

Kids were a bit all over the place today (kind of understand why DD1 may have been a bit off). I thought having friends round would mean they would happily play together - no chance (or is it just mine )

Right watching how to look good naked.

Sorry Lil_me will try harder tomorrow!:D

Just waiting on my tea to be ready. Where does the evening go? Where has May gone? Why isn't it payday yet?

Bye bye 'til tomorrow. Have a useful evening.

Not very good at flying this week, but making good progress on the bathroom, am considering trying to clean up the taps rather than having to pay out for new ones. Ideas for cleaning up "brass" coloured taps would be great.

lil_me Huskies are indeed quite a handful.
That's why we love them!

They don't obey commands (unless they find them useful) they'll turn your garden into a moonscape, they will not protect your house from intruders and they howl!

But they are the most beautiful, loyal, loveble and fun dogs around. They love to go for long walks and runs, and we just love them to death.

i haven't got a piccie of him yet, but will get one soon, and show you all!

As for flying...
Well... eehm.. I hang my head in shame today..

Quite a poor effort from me. I was out for about 6 hours, and that wore me out, but i must do better tomorrow. I'm thinking of skipping the usual wednesday outing to my parents as they have decided to redecorate the living room before my sisters wedding in a few weeks, and i can't be doing with the drama. I seem to have an upset stomach anyway, so i may have a housey morning, and then perhaps get DH and baby to go swimming for an hour in the afternoon if i am feeling up to it.

I second the wanting to know why flylady was in the paper. Which paper, cos it may still be available online to read.

welcome to the newbies.

emb congrats on the new nephew. More babies to make me feel broody.

shell ouch for your daughters face. too right to check it's recorded as it sounds nasty. (says me who managed to knock the hoover over and hit charlie's face yesterday - luckily no bruise, but it was nasty!)

becca are you mad?:D Probably! but if it makes you happy then enjoy it. At least a dog will not mess up a bedroom or leave a hotspot on your dresser. Under it maybe, but not on it. :rolleyes:

I'm not even going to pretend tonight that i am going to do much else, other than check swimming times and perhaps get stuff together to go, and a quick kitchen sort. And give the cat his antibiotics. Heck - i'll probably think of more before the end of the night.
