Weekly Flylady Thread 15th July 2013

Mr A delivery put away, database now 60% of way through I think it doesn't like the heat. Thing is, whilst it's running I can only use email and internet. Shame

We have food! Poor kids were eating dry breadsticks and fruit strings for breakfast! (They do have brekki at nursery too!). But we now have plenty of fruit, cereal, yoghurts etc for suppers.

Ooh it's nearly 80%. I'll go wipe the front door...

ETA Doh! He's back, I can hear him in the garden. B(_)gger!

Well my ironing is done but SS came in to get some paperwork. As it was in my wardrobe I got it out then decided to clear it. I have pulled the cages out and emptied them of their contents and I have made one major mess just stopped for a cuppa and then I will get back to it. I wish I hadn't started

Jazee

I'm in, thanks for the list, BUT after a very hot night I slept in this morning, and now after the paid stuff, it's too hot to do anything so I promise to try harder tomorrow.

Another binbag of junk flung The wheeliebin was only emptied this morning and there's 2 bags of rubbish in it already even though I emptied the bins before the binmen came

Cleaned DDs whiteboard off. She'll probably moan at me, but there was nothing on there except "book" written repeatedly and something so smudged it was illegible. Think I'll have some ice-cream and then do downstairs.

Sounds like someone is clearing rubbish using the alleyway next to the house so I'll leave cleaning the front until they (and the binmen who come weekly to clear the fly-tipped stuff in the alleyway) have finished. I think I'll have earnt a nice soak in the bath tonight

ETA: I love modern tech - tweet from DD's school that they've arrived safe, lots of kids (and probably staff) excited at having a pool in their hotel, and they're off to buy dinner!

I've dipped myself and am now sparkley. In a rare flash of genius, I realised the only place my missing bra could possibly be was behind and under the chest of drawers - how aptly named, now I think off it. I am both clean and well-supported, if a little dusty.

It's something you put on the "jobs to delegate" list.:D;)

Still doing my own thing here and failing miserably at keeping up with the thread, sorry :[

Dh has a date booked for his deep ct scan to see if they can find out the cause of this awful pain he's getting, 2 weeks till it happens, I'm hoping they find something cos thats a whole lot better than them finding nothing

Don't you dare apologise for not keeping up! You've got far more important stuff going on than worrying about a few cobwebs. (((HUG)))
I hope to goodness the deep scan finds what's going on and your poor DH can get some relief - there's nothing like pain to completely debilitate you (trust me, I know!) Coping vibes for you both, to get through the next fortnight til the scan.:o

Jessie's gone home, and I've removed three Dys0n-loads of black dog hair from the floor.:o Next guest arrives lunchtime tomorrow - newcomer, name of Sassy. She's a labradoodle, so hopefully not so much hair for the next fortnight.;)

Just waiting for the wax to melt to do a wax bath for my paws (front and hind:D). I went to close the car door after getting out (visited the greengrocer "local centre" in the next estate), and my right wrist gave me such a violent and sudden jolt of pain it made me yelp!:(

Mr LW helped with the cleaning today, too (he was on early shift, wfh) he dusted while I did the Dys0n Tango.:D I told him I owe him a beer for that; unsure if he heard me/took in what I said, I guess I'll find out later.:D
