Weekly Flylady Thread for 11/06/07

DeniseNZ

HopeElizzy - How did you make me upside down?? :think: Very clever LOL . . .

Michelle - thanks for leading us this week

Once again - won't be sticking with the lists terribly well over the next couple of weeks. Will be doing paid work heaps, instead, and goodness knows I need the money!

Over the weekend we cleared out the garage enough to get the car in - hooray :T Still have a bit of sorting out to do, but not much. A few boxes of sentimental stuff to go through, mainly.

Took a heap of stuff to the auction and recycle this morning.

Have also:

• Weekly menu
• Grocery list
• Grocery shopping
• Posted accounts
• Updated finances
• Done filing
• Paid three bills due this week
• Wiped down kitchen bench
• Got meat out of freezer for tomorrows dinner
• Put last of curtains up in lounge :j (thank goodness cos it's freezing here atm) - only kitchen blinds to go!
• Written letter to long lost friend.

We were meant to go to doggy obedience tonight, but it's too darn cold.

Tomorrow I will try and get most of housework done as I'll be working every day for the next couple of weeks . . . PLUS . . . I'm going to be caring for a sweet little baby after work for a few hours every day. With four big boys in the house I'm really looking forward to a baby girl

Might not got on here too often - but will try.

Pokes her head above the parapet and grins feebly ...

Morning all .. at last feeling a bit better - not much but did manage to keep sort of on top of things last week. That and work finished me off am afraid didnt do much apart from try and keep up with all your triumphs and joys and the not so good bits.

At my age (34 years ago I was coming up to my 21st b'day!!!) the memory is going so many apologies to anyone left out 'cos ALL your posts are great to read and made me feel better if rather inadequate!!

AnW'sMom - sounds wonderful - glad it all went well
Shirleypark - hugs
Michelle - thanks for looking after us!
Lil_me - have a wonderful time - though she is probably gone now!!!
Grannynise - see you aint the oldest flyer
Welcome all the new flyers!

Right, to get on - we have the survey on our house here tomorrow morning so
will make sure stuff is reasonably clean all round ( why I dont know but it seems important to me at the moment!)

Today for me is:

Manic Monday - Kitchen and Utility Room

Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
Empty toaster of crumbs

Level Two
Clean floors
Clean cupboard door fronts and the front of appliances
Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front
Wash dog bedding and hoover behind crate ( huge!)
Hoover cat bed

Level Three

Wipe window sills, clean any marks off windows if required
Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky
Clean oven if you didn’t do it last week

Extra Mission:
Choose one or more of:

* Defrost freezer
* Wipe the outside of all your small appliances (kettle, toaster etc)
* Pull other appliances out and clean underneath them (cant shift most ( back injury) but will shift dog crate)
* Take things off a shelve (cupboard or storage shelf) so you can wipe the shelve and anything else that needs it

Plus
[STRIKE]S&S bathrooms [/STRIKE]
Clean big leaded kitchen window
PO run with ebay & amazon stuff


So onward and upward as they say

sallies forth into the fray

Morning everyone.

Was up at 7am, so i really feel the need for lots of caffeine today. I'm counting down now for finishing off this marking as it has been a lot harder than i thought it would be. I will enjoy spending the money though in August when i'm paid.

So far, Charlie, me and the cats fed (twice), WM on. Charlie is happily rolling around on the floor and emptying the toy box :rolleyes: They learn early don't they how to make a mess!

pen -pen didn't think i would be scaring people into flying :eek: I'm not a scary person, i promise!

It did look nice and sunn earlier, but it seems to have disappeared on me now, so perhaps only one load through the WM today.

Anyway, best get the 2 of us dressed and then i can start. Looking forward to seeing some crossed off lists.

Michelle, x

lil_me

Not gone just yet,kitchen now done, kids dressed, car packed, just going to do the last checks and water garden before we go.

Bye bye

Tartan_Mum

Have a fab time Lil_Me!!!!

Will be back later with an updated (hopefully!) list.

Cheers for stepping in Michelle. Much respect for you having time to keep us on our toes, do marking AND look after Charlie.

I'm struggling with just the last of the three....
