Weekly Flylady Thread 18th June 2007

Well yesterday was mega busy - but I did do all the bathrooms (my thursday task) up to level 3 ( apart from floors which are done today)

I been out in the rain this morning fixing the post box back on the gate - the postman yesterday forced it so hard he actually bent the bolt heads!! "It just fell off" he said .... yeah ... right .....
Now gently steaming with a cup of coffee in the study before I do the PO run. I finished my works emails - well as much as I can do and written to the bloke who didn't want to bid on a antiquarian book of mine on ebay which finished at no sale yesterday - and wrote with an offer of £1 less than the starting price. Think not.....

I dont seem to have that much luck on ebay but there ya go.

Anyway will do my Bedrooms list later when I've done something!!!

Take care all - keep flappin' !!!

Morning all.

Back early from school this morning as no assembly to go to. DS and his class are off to a dance festival this morning which they were all excited about.

Had a mini piece of good news about adoption yesterday. Not getting excited as I know all too well how it can so easily go wrong, but it's nice to get a positive bit of news about it for a change!
Feeling in a more positive frame of mind today and ready to tackle DS's room which I've not really given a good going over for a couple of weeks.
Kitchen is a bit of a mess so will do that first after my cuppa and see how much I can get achieved today with this extra surge of energy I have.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all

Heavy showers here have brought the new family of song thrushes out into the garden. They spent ages dancing on the lawn and then listening for worms. Now they have found a huge slug on the the slate heading for the dahlias and are tearing bits off!

Tinselfairy pleased you've had some good news, even if it's a mini piece, but I do understand after the let downs you have had you won't want to get excited too soon. Keeping everything crossed for you all.

Mamashaz I am sure you will do fine today, don't go OTT, these lists come back around so little and often I am sure you will get there.

Boston, ebay is the same for me lately, hope the post box is fine now, I've had a postman say my letter box cover 'just fell off' before!

Hev, good luck with the move, sounds like you will have your hands full.

Dusty hope you have fun shopping.

irishwexford, sounds like things are coming together nicely, saving money aswell, great!

Pigpen hope you find the missing jeans, I've only had that happen to me once where I lost an item

Right barely made a start. Have got boys off to school, done 2 loads of washing which are now handing out to dry. Dogs been out, chaos walking 3 at first so gave up and took the leads off. They all walk fine off the lead when it's just through the fields anyway. Dining table cleared, need to do brekkie washing up. Can't do much upstairs until after 11am when DP gets up.

Here goes today for me

Dailies
At least level 2 in boys room (after DP gets up)
[STRIKE]
One more wash load at least then school 'reds' wash when the boys get home
Meal plans for next week and shopping list
Shopping for anything we need for over the weekend
Find a 'dogs toys' box, sick of falling over them
[/STRIKE]Call to cancel FF engineer as it seems to be behaving now
2 more dog walks, groom Megan again
Few hours OU study (must at least start this assignment today)
Tidy kitchen as it's been 'dumped' in
Sort out all the dry laundry and put away

pigpen

mamashaz

lil-me - I seem to have taken your message to heart as I have been sitting in front of my computer for the past 2 hours and have achieved nothing!

I need a big kick to get me to Sainsbury's!!

hev_2

Good for you, pigpen. It may be heresy, but cuddles are better than flying!

At end of fifteen minute timer so:

Have emptied dehumidifiers
Sorted post and tried to pay bills online but site playing up.
Fed and cuddled DS
Re filled steriliser
Put in load of washing
Belted up and down stairs (three flights in my house) to try and get things in right place
Put on hot water for cleaning
Grumbled at the rain
Smiled at my son
Cuddled a cat.

Back up and at em!

I'm trying to fly today but so far I have no energy - could have something to do with only having a maximum of 3 hours sleep last night So far today I've had a bath & washed my hair (something I can only usually do of a morning at the weekend unless I want to get up at 5.30 to get in the bathroom before OH has to have his bath at 7am - so I can't have a bath running any later than 6am otherwise there isn't enough hot water for him :rolleyes: ), made DD's lunch/breakfast and packed her off to school, took my CRB form into school so they could enter the info on their system (it finally arrived yesterday afternoon - only applied for it in November!) so I am now legally allowed to "work" in the school :rotfl: Managed to get a load of washing in the machine before school, but I've still got wet washing from yesterday that needs to dry so currently a backlog :rolleyes:

Plan for the day is the following list (crossing off whats already been done this week as well ) which I'm just going to come back and edit as I go along (30 mins work then break I think ). Glad I kept this list in a word file, no decluttering unless it's done as I clean and Antheas list can whistle today :rotfl::rotfl: Oh and for those who think I must be superwoman or something, I live in a small terraced house which is 95% decluttered so takes no time at all to clean

Pollybear

Morning all (just about as I'm typing this!)

Downstairs vacuumed all through. Made stew today - feels a bit weird in June but it will be easy for DH to heat up tonight. Normally he comes home for lunch but as we have no car now........and I am at work when he gets home tonight.

Done one load of washing and draped it round upstairs, it keeps raining on and off.

Hi, everyone,

List done for today, lunch eaten, everyone elses flying caught up on. DS2 to take to playgroup and DD sports day to attend, if the rain stays away, WM x 2. Still to do:- evening meal and baking then relaxing weekend planned. DH busiest time of year so going to ride on his 'I definitely need a break this weekend':D .

Hope everyone has a good weekend, catch you all next week. Hope the bumps and bruises mend quickly Pigpen!
