Weekly Flylady Thread 21st May 2007

cha97michelle

Corr i'm poopered tonight. :rolleyes:

up at 6:30am. Washed, popped downstairs, put on WM, fed cats twice, made a cuppa, had breakfast, went upstairs, got dressed, stripped our bed, got baby up, stripped his cot, brought him downstairs, nappy changed, dressed, fed him breakfast and a bottle, put the last couple of bits in the nappy bag, brushed both of our teeth, got him in car seat, put him in car, all by 7:45

drove to next village, realised i had left my keys at home, rang DH who met me to give me them back

dropped Charlie off at 8:05 - then drove allegedley 15 miles to try and get there by 8:45, being stopped by every suicidal lollipop lady and red light in doncaster, then

till 9:20 - drove round the same piece of road looking for the hotel, which was hidden in the middle of a golf course. :mad:

Sat through hours of talks. Found out i have a form group even though i was told i wouldn't Grrrrr even though i am part time, although the kids in it look ok.

drove home, via dropping someone off cos i'm nice

picked baby up, sister had let him sleep and miss a feed, so had to feed him, and have a cuppa.

home at 5:30, brought everything in from car, brought in post, fed baby his tea, got the WM on again, bathed baby, cleaned loo, let cats in, fed them twice, gave baby his bottle, changed him cos he was sick, remade his cot, tried to put him to bed and he won't go, and now he's back up just sat looking at me. Oh, and also just had to do a quick run to the garage with the bedding for the TD

When i look at it like that no wonder i am tired.

And i could probably also do with marking some papers tonight, and DH isn't in yet (and as he's online, at least half an hour away) so i guess i will be the one finishing off getting charlie to sleep, then cooking dinner, washing up, making all the bottles.

Makes me really look forward to going back to work in September :rolleyes: So, what exactly can i get rid of off the list? Probably not a lot

I have no idea what you have all been up to today, so i will be checking that a bit later on. Probably between getting Charlie down for the night and Dh coming in. That's if i don't just say stuff it and climb in bed. (best be in Charlie's cot though as i still have to make mine and the spare one is covered in ironing) :eek:

lil_me

Michelle wouldn't bame you for saying stuff it and going to bed, just chuck the ironing on a table or something, what a day you've had!

cha97michelle

finally got charlie to sleep. :j I think he may have missed me. I do feel a bit better now i can relax. Looks like DH has just pulled up, so best go, although i am another one around for the weekend.

Think i will go for a quick dinner (maybe even fish and chips!!! :rolleyes: ) and then i will remake the bed, have a long soak, and take it easy. Don't think i can get my head around the marking anyway.

Enjoy your weekends away saversarn and grannynise.

nicki - oh what could you do with that much child free time!!! I know what i would do

lil-me, why does the vets cost so much? Our cats have had about £200 this month, and that is just up to now, and then the cattery next month, and all this blooming food they are on.

Anyway, i'm going to have some food. See you all tomorrow.

Michelle, x

Lil_me, your comfort food sounds a lot more virtuous than my family sized Bournville, but scrummy. I'm now jittering on a caffeine sugar high!

Chucked out a load of old videos, made a start on old photos but my head's not in the right place for memories so that'll keep. Had a good blether with my mum and made a few decisions. Am not going to bother seeing my negative energy pal on Monday.Feel loads better already.

Michelle, ditto Lil_me's comment.. You've done stacks today, have an early one.Tomorrow is another day.

I'm off,I'm a bit caffeine giddy and I'll start being irrelevant or irreverant or something..

I just had a mad hour!!!!

I've ironed!!!!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek: hubbys workshirts.. I counted 10!! plus a few rather scrumpled up school dresses AND a pair of trousers!!! not one bit was mine!! Anyway.. it is done now so I don't have to do any more until next weekend!.. actually that's the wedding so I may well have a dozen bridesmaid dresses and petticoats and shirts and goodness knows what else!

I then got all carried away and wiped down ALL the worksurface and cupboards and appliances in the kitchen (that's me ahead for Monday!!! lol), loaded both washing machines, put the blower away for the bouncy castle as it looks like it may rain.

I have the dance bags to get ready for the morning and the leotards out ready etc.

I had hubby buy me some lovely files boxes so we can make a start on emptying the middle room.. it is vile in there.. actually I believe there is still a 'spare' dishwasher in there!!! :eek: ... any one want to come pick it up??

I may be off for a shower shortly and escaping to the pub with hubby for a bit.. have to wait until DD1 and DS1 get home though.. one is at her friends and the other is at babies night at a local club.. finishes at 9 and opens for adults at 10. then again I may decide I am too tired and dash off to bed early.. it was 1am I was in last night and up at 7 as usual.. then we had a walk round town to find hubby's wedding garb.. all done now I think apart from the 2 older girls bridesmaid shoes and me a petticoat that actually fits! (done latter!)

Hello Everybody,

How is everyone doing???

I HAVE NOT done anything since Wednesday....

And I am ashamed - the House is a mess....

Have been very busy at work... - Though this is no excuse

Have really overexerted myself last week - was too excited about flying...(more because DH was veryimpressed)

Now everything has taken a toll on me... - And I am having very bad period cramps right now...- Why do women have periods??????????:mad:

I have finally decided that the Daily Lists are too much for me...

So am thinking of having one list for the Whole Week...
And do as much as I can or as little as I want...So if I can do more one day- will do that and if I am too tired some other day...I can decide against cleaning that day - without feeling guilty...

(Will still divide it in levels but nothing will be day specific)...

Will be posting my list soon...

Take Care

Beccatje - Puppies are so sweet!!!!!!!

MoneyQueen you should see my house - the place is a total mess!! Washing up hasn't been done for a couple of days, 3 loads of clean washing are all over the kitchen table. The lounge table was covered in stuff plus bags and magazines and junk all over the floor. My study floor was so covered in stuff that you couldn't actually move the chair. The bedroom floor looked like an extension to the dirty washing basket !

I've done a quick 10 minute tidy up and now atleast the lounge table is tidy, my study floor is cleared, all the dirty washing is in the washing basket.

I think it just goes to show what happens when I don't fly for a week !

Right time to go out to the shops and take back my library books and get some milk.

:hello: Hello!

Got back from holiday trip to florida and realised I have a lot of flying to do! Worse thing was the post and so much of it rubbish!:rolleyes: Most is now in the paper recycling sack now.

So far I have swished and swiped the bathroom and put a wash load on, have yet to face the kitchen which has something on every work top, so lots of de-cluttering to do before I can swish and swipe that!

Will try to do what I can this weekend so that I can start flying properly with you on Monday.

Michelle - just read about your day and feel totally exhausted!
You sound very organised though and I am sure you will cope brilliantly in September.
