Weekly Flylady Thread 28th October 2013

happyfuture

Good morning everyone :wave:

Have been reading these threads for ages but have never got involved. Going to make attempt this week to start fly ladying

Am on holiday from work and desperate to get house into order, it's a riot just now. My thinking is that if I make a good attempt this week then it will be easier in coming weeks.

Am wanting to get more involved in OS and this seems like a great place to start Looking forward to the week ahead!

I'm in again this week. Didn't join in last week as we were away for the first part and then toddler minding for the last part.

Thank you for the lists.

Not quite sure how today will be. We're being battered by the storm at the moment and one of the fence panels is down. We probably won't venture out until this afternoon.

Thank you for listy. I am in......but first I need to retrieve 2 of my fence panels that have gone Scarlet O'Hara on me! DD3 and I need to go onto crazy animal lady's land and drag them back.

Thankfully they are the old ones, but I might need to bug the Nice NDN once wind has abated to give me a hand putting new fence panels in.

The panels are 6ft x 6ft, and I am only 5ft2 in my bare stocking'd feet so it would be comical....:rotfl:

just need to hope that crazy animal lady doesn't let her dog wander all round my garden doing it's dooooo, like she did last time.

Right, best get to it before DS and DD4 have their morning at nursery.

Ok, so bedroom dusted, bedding changed and have hoovered through most of house. First of two lots of washing in machine and stuff on airer put away. I still have 40 minutes before the paid stuff so I'm going to clean the light fittings in the LR and HSL.

Hope those being battered by the weather retrieve their fence panels soon.

Catch you all later.

Today:
Hoover the stairs and upstairs
ironing
Check directions for tomorrow
Take up DS3 cricket trousers
Some filing
Move some money
Shopping trip with DS2&3 - shoes

Best make a start.

Fence panels retrieved and back on the sovereign soil of Skintyland :rotfl:

Checked out front, something has hit tiles on porch roof, one is cracked and I don't want it bashing anyone on the head, and I can't reach it with a rake, so I will have to mess about with ladders once the wind dies down. Skinty is NOT going to hospital today :eek:

Two letters now in envelopes ready for posting. Just got to get young Skints lunchboxes ready for the day!
