Weekly Flylady Thread 4th June 2007

lil_me

We're off to Blackpool, nothing flash but it's a break isn't it. My partner this weekend will no doubt mutter 'are you tidying up for burglars?' because I HATE coming back to loads to do, so no doubt I'll be flying about like a looney over the weekend.

I also have my 'To do before holiday list' which I am getting there with but this lot still to do

Get phone charger from behind the big heavy drawers in my room
[STRIKE]Sort shed, inc make space for trampoline [/STRIKE]Cut grass where trampoline was
[STRIKE]Get Woody's food and dog food
Plant out seedlings (noone to water when away so hope outside will be better)
Buy food for lizard and slow release food for fish
Move all planters [/STRIKE]
My car to Nana's
Dogs to kennels
Bring mountain bikes in from shed
[STRIKE]Sort out pond [/STRIKE]
Sort DVDs to take for journey etc
Pack rest of cases
Send LEA letter off
Pack ebay items and post
Find camera, camcorder, chargers, batteries etc
[STRIKE]Wash waterproof jackets [/STRIKE]
Find kids beach shoes
Print vouchers
[STRIKE]Contact dog section at police HQ [/STRIKE]


Considering I've done loads of it, OMG!!! Well there is 3 days to go and that to do aswell as boys room (which is a complete tip!) dailies and mad dash clean of downstairs. Thought would list here so can cross off and keep myself right.

evening all.

My sister fell out of the car when she was less than a year old, obviously no such things as car seats and such lark. My parents didn't even notice, wasn't until someone (think it was one of my mum's brothers who was outside to wave goodbye) picked her up and came running down the street with her that they stopped the car !!

Feeling very down and tearful this evening. Work is getting more stressy, I really could do with a holiday, I think the whole house and relationship situation is beginning to sink in and get to me. I think I am just going to go to bed, tomorrow being another day and all that.

((hugs)) Shirley, hope you feel a bit better tomorrow, I'm off to bed too, should have gone ages ago.

big higs to shirley park - tomorrow is another day!!
finished marking at 11, and i am a bit further on than i thought, and £46 richer from selling things on ebay, so i have just emailed on the invoices, and checked facebook, and found a friend, and a potential stalker! i've emailed them to ask where i know them from as i can't be too careful who i give personal info to with being a teacher.
Just updating, and then i will be off to bed. Think as i have actually got a bit more done than i wanted to, i may actually go to playgroup in the morning and try to spend a bit of time with my sisters as i haven't seen them for over a week. Plus it will do mr chuckles good to get out again as we haven't been for a good few weeks.

Thanks so much for all your good wishes, I will update more over the w/e but yesterday went really well and I was really pleased with how it all went and how other people thought it went. Really good turn out, DH would have been humbled by it I am sure.

HUGS to you all

The thread is on another Message board and its "why do we have Halloween on the 31st of October every year?" :rotfl: I can cope with the "where do babies come from" it's the more obscure ones I puzzle over...and google is a lifesaver for me :rotfl: Don't know if you will be able to view this or not but here's the link anyway : http://www.slemen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8601

Did DD get the answer to that one (it's All Hallow's (ie Saints) eve - the day before All Saints Day on 1 November )

Yesterday, DS asked me what colour *that symbol* is No bally idea , but as you say, thank goodness for Google and Wikipedia :T

I think this started when the Small Penguins were a lot smaller and were really surprised when I knew things. I explained that all Mummies know absolutely eveything, as they go to Mummy University before their children are born. They now know I'm a fraud

Off to look at my list, catch you all later, Penny. x

Good morning everyone,

Well, i have my washing on already (have stripped DDs bed) and after posting last night, i spent an hour cleaning - my living room, hall and kitchen are now spotless (but wont last long after the children get up/LO gets here) but i feel so much better for doing it all. At some point i need to get upstairs and hoover - ive also sold some stuff on ebay (made about £50, so really pleased) so will need to pack it all up and get to the PO - that will also help the huge pile in my bedroom, something else i wont have to hoover around anymore.

Well, better get moving, or none of it will be done (am also hoping to do some paperwork, but not holding out much hope today)

Have a lovely day,
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning early birds,
Shirleypark, I really feel for you at the mo, the sooner it's resolved the better. I spent 5 months living with my ex after he decided we'd split up and until we could sell the house, I asked him to move out eventually 'cos it was sending me quite crackers. Could you both maybe take alternate weekends staying away with a friend just to save your sanity?

AnW'smum, glad Wednesday went well for you all. You've done a good job there. ((hugs))

Welcome lemanie, and well done!!

Michelle, take care replying to stalkers, I had a wierdo mailing me through Friends re-united claiming to be at my Uni asking me if I was still in touch with X, Y, Z who I'd never heard of. He stopped mailing but you can't be too careful once they have your e-mail address.

Lil_me, if I don't catch you again before you go have a FABULOUS hols and a good relax. Have a paddle in the sea for me!

Got to split, I'm so addicted to this site I'm starting to be late for work.
Have a good day all.

Morning
solway emailed them through the other website so they don't actually have my email address . Know what you mean though. Don't want to have to deal with any weirdos as well as everything else i have to do.
Anyway, a quick one from me as i want to be out in anout half an hour and i've got to get me and Charlie ready. (he is a good boy, he said mum this morning when DH was changing him in the bathroom - although i think he doesn't know what it means, i've just said it to him a lot )
