Weekly Flylady Thread 18th June 2007

hev_2

Good morning!

I love this thread, but I am going to ration how often I view it today.

I have had a baaaaaad week, and last night DH came in, took one look at me and suggested a takeaway :rotfl:

I think at the moment I need to scrape in below level one. So, today I have set myself some tasks.

Draw up a list of dailies
Draw up a list weeklies
Write and post birthday card/new home card/father's day card (to be fair, he is still out of the country, and I bought his father's day present in April )
Use the timer!
Actually read the magazine I bought on Monday!

So far emptied dehumidifiers, changed water in steriliser, bought 2 x 2litre bottles of dreaded diet coke but no chocolate, cuddled, fed and changed DS and thought loads of positive thoughts.

I feel that everything needs doing first! So, after reading how positive everyone is on this thread, I am going to try and prioritise, make lists and organise my thoughts. There, I've typed it, so I have got to stick to it lol.

And I'm going to plant carrot seeds - for someone as brown fingered as me, that is the most adventurous thing I'll do today (brown fingered - opposite of green fingered, plants look at me and die!)

And, to try and keep to my good intentions, I am going to log out and turn off the computer - less distraction from everything else

Fingers crossed for your dog, saversarn, but there is so much they can do nowadays that it can be really positive.

Happy Thursday!

I can't believe it is Thursday come round again already.. we have teacher training day tomorrow so will get nothing done..

For some reason there is a restriction on my ebay account which I am trying to sort out.. they suspended it yesterday for no reason and now this.. they are idiots!! And I have 65 things to upload.. and another half a million to list.. sigh... I may just transfer it all over to my other account if they don't stop being thick!

I have a pile of shirts to iron today as hubby has run out of them and a bed to change which was pee'd last night.

Rigth.. best start by catching a rabbit and stuffing it back in its cage... they keep escaping!!

Use this to clean your loo - tip it round the rim - don't flush for a while and it will come up sparkling and you will feel better - cut out the middle man so to speak:rotfl:

And I'm going to plant carrot seeds - I'd leave that job for a couple more weeks as there are likely to still be carrot fly around!Hev

Good luck for your day, the fact that you are writing lists is good Dusty x

I missed it but did a quick search and it is on BBC3 tonight at 7pm so I have sky plus'd it as I don't think DH will want to watch it.

I have washing powder now, so can catch up on the washing. First lot is already in the machine.

Quick question, how long can you really keep makeup once it's opened ? I know various people say something like 2 years, but should you really throw it away after that ? I have lot of old makeup and surely it can't be very moneysaving to throw it away.

My paypal is fine.. and ebay let me upload 1 thing .. fees are up to date.. I'll just go on the live help thing later if it isn't sorted soon and whinge like I did yesterday that gets things sorted PDQ I've found.

Re makeup.. I have a few bits I've had for years and still use occasionally. I give some bits to tweenage female rellies to play with.. they use it pretty quickly and it isn't quite like binning it.
