Weekly Flylady Thread 5th August 2013

trulymadlydeeply_indebt!

Productive morning in town. Found a parking space outside the sorting office, bought heaps of toiletries from Wilko's as everything ran out this morning, purchased all the cards and stamps required for this month. Wrote out 2 there and then and posted them off. Checked balances, did an Aldi shop, went for a run along the river with pooch, came home and DD helped me make the roast dinner. All now plated up for when hunger strikes. I was picking at the roast pork and now don't feel hungry enough to eat it :mad: and can't take it to work with me as there's no microwave.

Bathroom and study were done yesterday so have mostly chilled out, pottered and been on here. Quality ME time.

I'm off for a shower now as I have to be in work for 5.

I keep being made fun of in group because one of the girls says she has to keep looking up some of my words in a dictionary

I was in a post-natal group where one woman always used very long words and another was always looking puzzled. She used to sneak out a notebook and write in the words, then look them up later, and the next time we met she would try to incorporate her newly-learnt words into the conversation

Last week. Did my 'Life-story' today. Seriously depressing. But most of you have a lot more to deal with that wasn't self inflicted so hugs and spoons as needed.

Tis done and you are now moving onwards & upwards. Keep the faith! x

Flying... laundry.... erm... candle-lighting & cake cutting... erm... tidying up discarded wrapping paper & envelopes.... and..... oh I cleaned the downstairs loo, put a bag of rubbish out and sorted the[STRIKE] empty wine bottles[/STRIKE] various items of glass for recycling. Didn't take them to the bottle bank though. Really must do better *hangs head*

ETA I love my flyfriends too!

I have been sitting here reading for hours.

Used too many spoons yesterday then attempted to mop the floors this morning. I am thinking that if I do one bathroom properly then next week it will be easier to do. The rest can have an s and s and floor mopped. Having been away from flyladies for a long time has let a lot of things slip. I have looked at the bathrooms with different eyes today and noticed lots of grime, particularly DS's bathroom.

Not actually started much flying yet. Trainers got for DS2, still need school ones. Trying to find best price for BBQ for DH surprise birthday present.

Need to pop out with DS2 to town but may leave it until tomorrow as pouring right now.

Mrs MP I did exactly the same thing to DS2 when I was babysitting across town. Texted him and he duly brought the washing in as the downpour started.

Successful day with the list. Study is DH's domain so that's why it's not been done.

going to start on tea now.

will bring the two storage boxes down out of the bathroom then and sort through them (we don't have a cupboard so we have storage boxes one for toiletry stuff and one for medicines.)

Oh Saponiferous one, how nice to see you back!:D

Thanks LW I'd forgotten Valli's nickname for me!

Right, crap day at work full of political !!!!!!!!. You wouldn't believe the stuff that goes on in academia.... if I wrote it up as a sitcom, it would be trashed by the critics as being unbelievable...

Decluttered with a G&T whilst I swept the kitchen floor. Have sprayed the sink in the bathroom and am just letting it settle in before I go wipe it. Didn't do the bath because the plug is running slowly so I need to throw some drain cleaner down it to work overnight (DS has just left to do a night shift so he won't need it and I can wait and bathe in the morning).

Then I'll do the loo....

Have Weds, Thurs and Fri off work. Am off up north Weds for a family do but will be back at some point on Thurs. DD is coming back to sleep here Weds night to look after the menagerie....

Right off to finish cleaning the bathroom sink.
