Weekly Flylady Thread 8th July 2013

Kaz2904

So, I have decided to be a mean Mummy and give each child at least one job from the daily list each and every day. If they do them every day then I will knock off 50p per week from their scooter debt. If they keep their bedrooms and all downstairs grunge tidy, I will knock off another 50p. Hopefully that way, I might actually get to do some of the other jobs on the lists without going crackers.
I seem to spend my days going round in circles at the moment .
I've written out my list for Tuesday and will get DH to heave the hoover upstairs when I get home in the morning. Perhaps then, I can mop floors before I go to sleep. Not sure, as I have to be back at work for 14:30 for fire training, then back home and back for a night shift at 19:00 :eek:.

Morning all. Today I've done the dailies and cleaned the downstairs loo. From the list yesterday I wiped some doors and light switches. That will be it from me for today as busy paid stuff ahead.

A few recent visits actually.. We are having takeaway on Friday I think.. if they try feeding me sandwiches I am ordering OH to go get me food regardless of his birthday status!! Bread gives me horrendous heartburn at the moment.. it is usually just a little and gives me bloat the last thing I need at 3 stone overweight is bloat!! lol I shall refrain from my usual rant about their hygiene and food prep ... and they always put salad in their sandwiches and I cannot eat salad *slaps self... shush!!*

Looks like we are in for a fun day.. these 2 are brawling already!!

2 loads of washing to go out and the baby stuff to go in.. I wasn't certain it would dry yesterday so didn't put it out.

Bins emptied, recycling out... need food.. I am ravenous!!!

Dots new party trick... stripping off her nappy!!!! gggrrrr.. which we discovered when she did an enormous wee on the carpet which she then said 'oops!'

Well - I'm stunned - O/H is still employed!

Thanks for all the good wishes - those posivibes are wonderful!

He'll know in a couple of hours how many of his mates/colleagues are going...

I didn't get chance to post an update yesterday after work, but I did have a busy evening. We did 2 house viewings and we really liked one of them (which is the first we are wanting to see again - exciting ). We also did a food shop. DH made tea and washed up. I did WM x 2, sorted away dry laundry and also did 2 hours ironing. Ironing pile is still massive though

Today I am at work. Then straight on to a few more house viewings. Then WM x 2 and more laundry sorting. Then moooore ironing :cool:

Have a good day everyone.
