Weekly Flylady Thread 21st May 2007

DeniseNZ

Hello all.

It's been my usual Monday - ignore the list and plod on with my own stuff.

After people were talking about flying at work on last weeks thread, I gave my desk a good old spit and polish as soon as I arrived there this morning. Much neater now. If only I can get the boss to put things in the IN tray and not tossed around the desk, I might be able to keep it tidy!

• Two loads washed and hung on clothesline
• Grocery list
• Bring things in fridge to the front or put in rubbish
• Rubbish bag out at gate
• Sign school papers
• Make sure overdue school library books are in school bag
• Work
• Tidy work desk . . . see above
• Meeting with accountant re new business proposal
• After work - groceries
• Dinner
• Put washing away (DH folded)
• Doggie school
• Check online auctions.

Now I'm off to bed.

Have a great, productive week, everyone.

Denise I think the key to that one is to make the boss think it was his idea to reorganise your desk and therefore you should follow his example of putting things only in the right place!

Good morning everyone:hello:

I am feeling a bit more lively today so am aimimg for level 3 but I will be good and have lots of breaks!! I am learning to 'pace' myself. The coffee morning that the kids ran on saturday raised £146!! all for charity. My kitchen was used by four of them for ALL the cake making so needs a mothers touch to put it right! They did wash and wipe but not to my standard.

Shirley Park, I am thinking of you, look after yourself.
Kyle, don't push yourself too much when you have a cold, you need to rest

This morning I have had two long phone calls from relatives, a little walk with the dog, she isn't allowed to run around yet but her stitches came out on Friday. WE had a look for our missing cat. She has been gone 10 days so I am going to print up pictures of her to put in the shop. The cat we were looking after left a week ago but ours hasn't come home.:sad:

Right must leave the compuer and do some flying.

Done everything in kitchen/diner except clean the oven. And I don't plan to either

Two loads of washing on the line.

Living room damp wiped and vacuumed, also hallway and stairs/computer desk.

Took dog to vet. She had an argument with some barbed wire while we were away and DDs were taking her out. Seven stitches and bill for £168. Welcome home...... She just had to be checked this morning, stitches out next week.

Back to work tonight. Getting depressed already.

Well I thought Holly was better, nope sick everywhere when I got up this morning, how lovely at 7am to deal with. Will try the yoghurt as I am making some later, she's not eaten any of her food this morning.

Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
Wipe window sills, clean any marks off windows if required

Clear one cupboard [/STRIKE]

:rotfl: all done, DP treating me to dinner out, going after the living room curtians finish in washer, they say dry clean but have risked it on the curtains was in the machine, so fingers crossed they come out ok. :rolleyes:

My extras still working on, hope to catch up with you all later

Hello, hope everyone's ok..... hugs for Shirley and either ahhhh or ewwww to the various poorly doggies you all have atm.

I seem to have gone off at a tangent this morning - I did start in the kitchen but once I'd cleaned the windows inside I realised how dirty they were on the outside. That meant I've been outside armed with my bucket, stardrops and microfibre clothes cleaning all the windows outside! :rolleyes:
Also as Monday is my washing Linen day I've been hoovering all the beds.

So not alot on lil_me's list is done but I've not been too idle and I've also built a lego firestation for ds.

See you all later.

Good afternoon everyone,

2 LOs asleep at the mo, the other one playing nicely, so thought i would pop in here quickly!!!!
Ive managed to make my bed, wipe down half the kitchen and clean the oven today. Ive also stripped DSs bed, so thats all washed and hung out. I was lucky last night, the bits i hung out dried so they are folded up and put away!!!
I still have loads to do - ive sprayed the bathroom, so im about to go and give that a good clean before little LO wakes (he cries if i leave the room at the mo), but the rest will wait until after the school run.
I have the remaining half of the 'pile' that i started on Friday to finish, as well as the remaining bits in the kitchen - and im hoping to get some ebay photos taken so i can think about doing some listings, but then, ive been planning that for weeks too!!!!
OK, better get this bathroom done - i will be back later!!!!

Afternoon all,

i am having a bits'n'bobs day, I don't have much time to do a proper fly but will slot in what I can.

Dailies have been done and two loads of washing hanging out, DD2 has a birthday party in town at 2 and has decided that she wants me to stay (I have been able to leave her at parties for the last yearbut for some reason she has decided she wants me to stay today), by the time we get back and I manage a bit to eat I am heading out to babysit for an hour. Hopefully once I get back home approx 8.30ish I can finish the jobs that I wont have managed.

Just having a baked spud for lunch before I tackle the kettle ( have to make coffee first!!!)
Things going well as I've also been to the PO and done an hour at the charity shop helping out!

Lil_me - I wouldn't even try feeding her for 24 hours - and if she is still being sick after then with just something light, I think you might be wise to take her to the vets.

Kyle - take it easy! the dust will still be there tomorrow and if you rest you will probably feel better able to tackle it!

Shell - oh I cant wait to sell our place and make our move!! You lucky thing being able to visit - our new place (hopefully) is about 140 miles away so cant pop round to fly in advance!

Becca - I feel better now knowing I wasn't as slothful as I thought!!

Off to make coffee and then get the kettle descaling!

happy flappin'
