Weekly Flylady Thread 4th November 2013

Bossy, I'm not far from you, not looking forward to snow although if it gets me out of a day to the office at the end of the month, that is ok.

Piggers, thanks for your wise words earlier.

I'm going to do some puzzling and reading now whilst cuddling LittleyDog. I think I may ache tomorrow following today's gardening.

Have a great evening everyone.

Today instead of cleaning I've ordered personalised Christmas/Birthday cards (24 in total so that took a couple of hours to find nice ones!) and made my Christmas cake. DD has written her list but its a lot shorter than usual and consists of about 10 books and a kindle :rotfl: Me thinks I need to expand her horizons a little.

Tea time now (take away as the oven is in use and the washing up pile is big enough) and we're decluttering programmes.

Had a good day today -

• used the new Vax in the lounge/hallway for the first time - was horrified by the colour of the water that was in the tank
• did a load of whites and now they're drying on the airer
• finished one load of work
• not sure who suggested it, but wiped down the window sills and frames downstairs with hot water, soda crystals & a microfibre cloth - amazing!! Also did the front door inside and out and the door frame
• poo picked the lawn (thanks Pip!)
• raked the leaves up
• helped DD with some sewing

DH feeling a bit down so trying to give him some space; it's normally me who struggles with that, not him . DS played football with me (he says he's coaching me, bless him!) - he's really improved now. DD getting distinctly teenagerish even though she'll only be 11 in a few weeks time, help!!!


Lovely Indian take away tonight; felt like an easy evening and that fitted the bill perfectly.



Big hugs to those who are having a hard time of it at the moment; this is a funny time of year for lots for lots of different reasons. Have a lovely evening .

Just caught up on Fred, crazy animal lady's goat in field behind is having a head banging sesh on the fence, in the still of the night is sounds really really loud.

DD4 is having Daisy mode, then I will see what can go from today's list.

First things first, time for a brew

Morning!

I have vacuumed and spot cleaned :mad: the new LR rug. Kids fed, just having :coffee: and muesli. Then I'll collect what needs ironing from around the house. Not expecting much, few bits of uniform. Will get lint roller on inside of DS new sweater - hopefully to avoid all his shirts going blue

Then inlaws are coming over and we're going to model railway exhibition. I can hardly contain my excitement _pale_

Hoping they will take the DVDs etc away today :A

I looked through the bag of DH stuff last night, not a lot in there really but I did find a postcard he'd written to his dad from a weekend away we had together before we were married. I don't really understand what he's written but his dad will - they had lots of "in jokes" and it probably references some daft film or sports quote.

Oh, and a page of the calendar I'd torn off before recycling, May 2011, I'd written our anniversary on, and in the next box he'd written a sweet message for me, and in the one following I'd written "thank you". I've put it in our memory box

All managed without a tear! Which is no mean feat just now - I cried at Rapunzel being reunited with her real family last night
