Weekly Flylady Thread 7th October 2013

LameWolf

Healing vibes for Thifty's Dad and Mr Jelly and anyone else needing them.

Flying is out the window til Friday - these two are tiring. In a good way, I hasten to add; they have two quite long walks a day, the first of which is at sparrow-fart; Dylan particularly wants to play with the tennis ball a lot, and there's their daily brush also. Hugo just wants cuddles all the time.:D

Mr LW is on late shift today, and he says he's already got two tasks scheduled for after 18:00, so goodness knows what time he'll get home. Luckily dins is the 2nd half of yesterday's pasta bake.;)

The Boys send special Jack Russell healing vibes for Mrs Dog and Sickdog and cuddles for Deco; although cats aren't their favourite things, they don't like to hear of an owner sad because one has left for the Summerlands.:o

Not a very good start this morning. Did a bit of paperwork and then went up in the loft to fetch down some warmer clothes.

Found stacks of things yonks old so I've dragged it all down and at the moment it's dumped in the middle of the smallest bedroom. I'm going to have a ruthless sort through - wardrobe, CS or bin.

Off for my hair declutter later.

My dining room is also the RoD! I had a mean Mummy/wifey moment the other week when the kids swapped rooms and allocated each person 1 shelf on the book case. I made them get rid of any books they're not fond of and the rest were put in the loft.
Car insurance sorted. It's gone UP £6 per month for me as owner and main driver when I've been driving longer than DH and have higher no claims. Humph.
DH has got lots of photography mags on the table. I'm not sure what to do with them at present as he's decided to go for a new job. He's been with his current boss for 14.5 years. His boss is a funny one and has just got rid of the manager he brought in in December last year (no apparent reason and has told chap that it's the others who want him gone ). This chap came in on Monday and told DH he'd found him a job so we'll see.
DD has a geode on the table. It's waiting to be broken and has been waiting since we got back from Florida last year! Will ask DH to do it with her this evening if he gets a chance. She's got no sea cadets tonight so can just chill out and have some Dad time.

Hoover sucked well but awful smell of burning rubber. Will ask DH to dismantle tonight and make sure all is in correct position. May be about to burn through fan belt though.
Started on the Christmas food buying last night. 2 boxes of chocs in cupboard.

been to work DH has gone back to work after being fed.
lovely collegue at work brought a load of cooking apples in and told us all to help ourselves. she gave me a carrier bag with the words 'dont be shy, ive got loads more to bring in ' so ive got 8 lovely big cookers in the kitchen waiting to turn into a pie & crumble or two. they will go lovely with the blackberries ive got in the freezer

Living Room

• [STRIKE]Dust all surfaces and electricals, catch the cobwebs[/STRIKE]
• Vacuum everywhere including under the sofa, behind the TV unit and down the back of the hamster sideboard
• [STRIKE]Vacuum the sofa, turn all the cushions[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Wash all the coffee table down and polish the legs[/STRIKE]
• Treat the stains on the carpet (left over from Tuesday)
• [STRIKE]Give the doors a good wash, sticky marks aplenty here, may as well wipe the
  skirtings while I'm at it[/STRIKE]

Our Bedroom

• [STRIKE]Strip bed and remake[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Sort through bedlinen drawer (under our bed, saw a top tip somewhere on this
  board about putting sets inside one pillowcase so everything is tidy and easy to
  find)[/STRIKE] Great tip! Drawer now super tidy, and I know exactly what's in there.
• [STRIKE]Take down voile curtain, soak then wash and rehang[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Dust every flat surface and catch the cobwebs[/STRIKE]
• Deguddle cables (didn't get around to that when I installed the new TV shelf)
• [STRIKE]Think about decluttering my makeup drawer - may need to psych myself up for this one, I have a LOT of makeup, there's probably an afternoon's work in there alone[/STRIKE] It really wasn't that bad. I have binned about 20 products that are past their best and put another 10 into a bag for DD to peruse when she's here over the weekend. I put them in a MAC bag and left it on her bed; she'll be super excited thinking I have bought her some posh makeup before she looks inside :rotfl:

Plus the usual [STRIKE]WMx2[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]airer x2[/STRIKE], ironing, vacuuming HTA, [STRIKE]washing up [/STRIKE]and [STRIKE]S&Sing[/STRIKE]. We'll see where that gets me...

DS1 is home and about to clean out his hamster, DS2 is collected and getting changed. I am going to vacuum throughout (after quick cuppa and a ciggie) then drive to collect DSS as DH is off to DSD's parent's evening a BOA.

I have been listening to an audiobook while I've been scrubbing, fantastic entertainment and I feel as though I have achieved something mental as well as physical today
