Weekly Flylady Thread 7th October 2013

bonnie_bumpkins

Hello everyone
The bumpkin household has been struck by a recurring stomach bug for the last week or so, only now getting back to 'normal'. I did lurk and think of you all.
Waiting for my t*sco shop which is late (I did get a text). Been sorting cupboards and cleaning fridge in the meantime.
Sooooo much to do to catch up, major de-clutter & de-gibble is required before I can even think about cleaning!
Love, hug, sticks, spoons & sloppy kissses all round.
Will post list when I have some progress to report
xx

Morning, oops afternoon!

The German has gone, that week went fast. SW5 is at Robinwood so it will be quiet here tonight with just me and SW3.

I've been busy all morning but not with flying. Got Messy Church crafts decided on for next week and sent emails for promotion and helpers. FB page for those who want a nosy I'm rubbish with fb so any comments/critiques appreciated (likes REALLY appreciated!)

dancemum love the bathroom

roxy boo to school for lack of understanding

WM has been on and I have done a bit of tidying. Lunch now and then more flying from 1pm, join me?

Hi all.

Can I please have some doggy-guest-vibes please?:o I really need the franchisee to call me with a booking, as the BD is making itself far too comfortable. Unfortunately the holiday season is over, so bookings will be less abundant now.

Helen Jelly how lovely to see you posting - well done of the Fleabay win.:T Restful sleep vibes for your DH.:o

Check kids/ OH’s / Your wellington boots fit and are water tight no splits, replace now before there is a shortage if needed -- I haven't owned a pair of wellies since I was about 6! Time to remedy that.

I share Mr LW's; he's only got little feet for a bloke (size 7) so they fit me. I know they're ok because I used them for Bailey & Cassie's early morning outing to the garden, for poo-picking, as the grass was covered in dew at that time of day.:D

PS: If you haven't checked your fire alarm please do. They usually have a button in the middle that you press for a few seconds (usually labelled test).
PPS: Once you've checked it you have my permission to enjoy a tea and a biscuit :A

That's a task that's on my personal lists on a Tuesday - hall & lounge day - as it's attached to the hall ceiling. I've already had Mr LW poke the button for me (saves me stretching up) and if we're honest, it gets a field test most times Mr LW does the cooking!:whistle:

Bossy thanks for posting the Me-Mountain list - I shall go and get the little sachet of moisturiser I opened and use it up, then put on my favourite Pentagram.:o It's very hard to do this stuff with the BD in residence, but seeing the list posted gives me the necessary push, so thanks.:A

I shall then throw the duster-onna-stick round everything I can manage (not lifting ornaments today as I seem to have a bad case of the Dropsies at present) then I have to make a choccie mousse for tonight's and tomorrow's pud to use up the unpasteurised cream while it's still good.;)

Doggy-guest-vibes heading your way, LameWolf.
You have a good eye for a bargain, Helenjelly
Glad you're feeling better, bonnie
Smart bathroom, dancemum!

We played packing case shuffle again this morning before going out to SW, so the downstairs bedroom is now ready to emulsion with one-coat I'll do a quick lunch and then join you with a HHPainting or three to your HHC, AnW'sMum

Personal challenge update:
At our first SW meeting I entered a weight of 97.8 kg.
This week I entered a weight of 92.4 kg.
This means I have lost a total of 5.4 kg
which means that I have already surpassed my original goal of 5 kg :j
DH has also lost a total of 5.4 kg over the 3 weeks and is also determined to keep on track

Lovely bathroom and sending vibes for you Lamewolf, both to get rid of the BD and welcome some new lovely fluffy ones.
