Weekly Flylady Thread 18th June 2007

Evening all,

Glad to hear the uploading went okay eventually Pigpen. The new arrival looks lovely lil_me, hope she settles well. Reading the whole thread at the end of the day is exhausting, not the reading you understand, just everything you've all done.:T

I did master bedroom today, as I had switched days with yesterday and even ironed the fresh bedding, washed the pillows and matress cover, ironed the old bedding fresh from the line (saved from a shower - just) and put away. I've not ironed bedding for years! But it is sooo much nicer, can't wait for my bed tonight. Will wait up for DH though who is stuck on M1 in traffic jam. He saw Patrick Stewart on the M3 yesterday, cruising along with his young lady, I can't think that Captain Picard would have a flashy car and a young bit of stuff. Isn't it disappointing when actors don't live up to their characters :rotfl: .

Anyway, got a bit of paperwork to tackle, so must fly,

:grouphug: to everyone. Night, night.

Maralum, just as Dusty says and lovely to hear from you!
Dusty, shopping sound like much more fun, do that instead.

I couldn't bring myself to watch Anthea. I'm not a violent person but something about her makes me irate. Kim and Aggie I can cope with.

I've done quite a bit this evening, fairly surprised myself! Kitchen tidied after early tea ( I couldn't wait), bathroom sort of cleaned and cabinet decluttered. Vacc'd the livingroom, back porch and outside the back door - well, it was quicker than getting the sweeping brush out. Ironed. Sofa throw number 2 washed and hung out. Paperwork filed.

I'll have to Fly properly tomorrow though, the spare room hasn't been touched for a few weeks and the cats have been nesting in an uncovered duvet. It's filthy.

Going to give Fatcat a fuss while Skinnycat is out hunting.
Ta ta 'til tomorrow.

75 dollops of dung listed on ebay now.. I'll do the other 25 tomorrow.. I can't cope with more than 100 listed at once.. unless I really have nothing else to do.

Now.. I am off for a shower and going to the pub to drink lemonade on top of my AB's and maybe even eat crisps.. (OUCH!!!!!!).. I need some conversation!!

Have a lovely evening all

XxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Oh I just fell down the stairs as well carrying a heap of ebay stuff down to photograph.. so I am battered and bruised and have a lovely carpet burn up my arm and down my back!!!

lil_me

Maralum got to agree with the rest, quality time with the children is 10000000000 times more important. You join back in when you're ready.

Sorry list is late again, better than 1am of course , the boys however are happy as they got longer swimming session tonight because there wasn't many showed up, just means I'm now trying to get them settled for bed and it's a bit, well very late! Washing machine on again with swimming stuff.

No appointments tomorrow, thankfully, but an assignment to work on that I have 5 days to do, argh!

Pigpen I have no idea how you cope on posting day, I can't cope with more than 10 items on ebay at once just because I get so lost off when packing/posting!

I too am in admiration at the amount you manage to list pigpen, my stuff is repeat listing all the time every now and again I go through and fine tweak the ads but essentially after the first time listing its easy peasy for me. Until of course Royal Mail decide to change their prices and then I have approx 200 listings to change :mad: Had that to do 3 times in 12 months, when pricing in proportion came in it took me about 3 days to double check and alter my listings. Getting listings together in the first place is a pain in the rear which is perhaps the reason I don't sell a lot of junk from round here. Got it all in a pile ready to list.........

Ah well

On the school trip on Tues I was on the bus with the 4 and 5 year olds who were generally well behaved. They were having a banter with each other when one said to another 'stop it you big fat basket' :eek: they had obviously heard the phrase somewhere but I suspect that the last word was not basket when they overhead it! :rotfl:

And on that note I bid you all good night.

I actually have 2 boxes and I have everything listed in those so it is easy to find when it sells.. I take as many parcels as possible to post at one time to save repeat trips.. and I just go on the way to school... simple really.. though I have actually misplaced a pair of jeans which I have sold this week and I know the buyer will be an !!!! if I tell her I can't find them.. always the way! I usually find I have a listing already done which I can duplicate and tweak for new items which makes life easier too.

Not only ebay I have loads of baby bits listed on another site for sale too.

my house has never looked so clean on a daily basis. I used to leave everything and have a big clean but now picking out some jobs daily. I actually cleaned fridge whilst dinner was cooking and found stuff at back I forgot I had. This is one job I will now do on a regular basis. now have £20 in piggy bank and meals organised for week. I think hubby is wondering what is going on but saying nothing. I enjoy feeling part of a team is am more inclined to get myself going and having a list helps as I can decide what I think is important to do each day. Hello to you all

Yesterday my DS did not want to sleep. He wanted to see what was in the world. At 6 months, I think this is great, but he was getting more and more tired but wouldn't sleep. Bless him, he doesn't get grumpy, he smiles and sings. He is such a happy child, I do not know what I have done to deserve him. By the time I had got him to sleep, however, I was on my knees!!! So the little bit of flying I did do was a bit broken up into five minutes here and there.

DH and I had a long conversation last night. When we moved here it was all owner occupied by nice people and it was a lovely place. Now we are surrounded by BTLs with the landlord from hell. We have decided to move. We want to move quickly. We are in a house that is filled with what Saint Anthea would call *stuff*. For various reasons, I think we need to get ready to move by end of July :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I think the 27 fling boogie may be inadequate!

So, I am going to try and keep to the Level One stuff on here, post how I am going on and try and keep my spirits up. 15 minute breaks on this board will be just the refresher I need to keep me going.

Oh, and I bought another four litres of diet coke today - will not be able to afford this for much longer!

Morning all. I had a brilliant day yesterday - the best yet since I started following this! I'm sure that today will be less successful as I am dreading cleaning DD's room which is stuffed full of cuddly toys and dressing up stuff.

DS's sports day was rained off half way through which was a real shame as it was his first one. No mummies race which I was relieved about.

Off to get the weekly shop now. Have a good morning everyone!

Finally Friday - those terrible kids rooms and spare rooms
Level One
Put anything back in it's place that isn't where it should be
Level Two
Strip beds, vacuum mattress and replace with fresh linen
Level Three
Dust, make sure you get the tops of wardrobes/drawers
Vacuum Floor (even if it's just where you can see)
Wipe any sticky marks off walls and doors
Declutter Mission Task
Time for the Friday Flylady Fling, aim for 27, if you can't find that many, well done, you are obviously making a difference

For those with kids or wear uniforms for work, try to get them in the wash tonight, mkes the weekend easier. Apart from the dailies and night time routines that's the lot for the week, of course if you still want to join us over the weekend you are more than welcome
