Weekly Flylady Thread 30th September 2013

Just2Ashamed

Can't sleep again so back up and put the WM on. Have tidied up after tonight's entertaining - trying to psych myself up for a HHI - if anything can send me to sleep it's that :rotfl: Mount Washmore still appears to be unconquerable, but I'm reassuring myself that doing at least a load a day (2 each day this week) will get us there eventually. It doesn't help that everything that had been out has had to be taken out and washed as the flat's so damp and it was getting mildewy. I've got some Space Bags to hopefully combat this in the future, alongside getting rid of lots of it of course.

My Toots list is now ridiculously long! I tried to tell DH about it, but he just looked alarmed :rotfl: Think I may have to break the news to him bit at a time... If I'm still up then I may do a cooked breakfast for DH with HM hashbrowns (which he loves), we didn't get to bed until late last night so he's not going to be happy at waking up for work so early in the morning.

Am going shopping with Mum and Dad this morning and need to broach the subject of the money that they owe me :eek: It's difficult because I know they're broke too, but on the other hand, they keep spending money on going away for the day / weekend and it's not really fair when they owe me and my sister so much and aren't even making an effort to pay us back.

Morning,

Bit better night last night. No ickies and mostly sleep, although DD was in with me again. My tummy feels empty. DD and I need to go shopping after taking DS to school.

I'm going to put her toddler bed back in her room today. She's not sleeping in the proper bed either so might as well lose the clutter. I have found a place that does shorter beds in a midsleeper so that is probably where we are heading. Don't want to start decorating yet, though...

Also need to do some laundry.

Kids in P2 today so I need to drive them, no bus at that time.

Just going to put WM on. I must be more focused on my frogs today and hoover and mop the floor at some point.

Morning. Water crisis here as plastic water cistern cracked yesterday. Luckily I spotted it before any water damage done. (Last year a major leak under bath caused kitchen ceiling to fall in.) So counting my blessings.
Worried about bedroom carpet when taking the tank out though as it's the newest carpet in the house.
No cats cups or kids brought down today.
Will be doing a lot of flying via damage control.
Hugs, spoons and chocolate to all who need them.
Lovely news about Poppy coming home x

Morning all. Didn't have a chance to post overnight. Busy, busy at work. CY, sorry to hear your Mum's news . Sorry to the poorly tummys too.
Mine is growling and churning but it's most likely because I've had a massive piece of cake.
Off to bed now but need to put some moisturiser on my arms and chest to soothe my scratches. Don't think I got any on my neck but will check.
No flying yet, perhaps later.
DS has spilled cocoa on my cream sheepskin rug. On second wash now with tons of stain remover rubbed in. Had a mini brain wave. If this doesn't wash out, I could dye the rug with a chocolate brown hair dye could I not? It would look gurt lush .

Personal Challenge Update: book-keeping and orders all up-to-date I've also listed some more stock onto my fleabay shop. Had a problem with one of my listings yesterday though, it decided I had 20 of each item (even though I don't), I only found out when someone ordered 2 and I only have 1! Waiting to hear back whether they want the order cancelled or amended, what a pain in the bottom.

Not much flying today as I'm in the office all day, in fact I best get a wriggle on or I'm going to be late!!!
