Weekly Flylady Thread 11th November 2013

Mudbath

Just popped on to print off the lists. Working until 9 and then will do a quick 15 minutes and allocate some jobs to the rest of the family for tomorrow evening. I don't seem to have a minute to myself this week but the house is looking better for the few bits I have done thanks to this thread. Hope to catch up more later in the week xxx

Living room done.
Roofer been paid..
Landing window been measured for a blind.

Went to my friends for tea which made a nice change.

LW. Yes that's the ginger ninja AKA Ozzy in my avatar. I'm sure he was meant to be with me. We took to each other straight away.

Mumof2 Is the machine pipe blocked in any way as it won't pick up, or has the pipe got a hole in it and the suction is escaping?

Thanks for message but no it's not blocked at all and I'm careful to keep the filters etc clean. Got a new bag in it too; think we've maybe given it heavier wear than these are used to!

I have followed the os boards for years and it has got me through some tough times. My daughter is nearly 2 and I want to put some structure back into our lives.

I work part time so the three days I do work I'll try and stick to the quickie jobs but I'm hoping trying to do just a bit more each day will help.

My home isn't too bad however I let things get that bad that it usually takes a day to tackle the laundry...I'm a nightmare for clutter - i blame my mum

I'm not brilliant for posting often but I'm going to try to have 30 mins each day to myself catching up.

Decided I'd better make a "plan" before retiring for the evening - I'm not a night owl!
Will cross off what done already or doesn't need doing for whatever reason and hope to make a big dent in the rest by end of tomorrow! Fingers crossed!

Both bedroom floors have had some of that powder on them ... shake and vac I think its called and have been hoovered.
Still tidy here... mw app in the morning... when I get home I will hoover the kitchen bathroom hall and LR ... I also need to dust .. sort any washing up and laundry... thanks to this thread ive managed to get control of the house work again and im feeling alot better for it ... a few hrs each day sometimes less and im keeping the place nice and tidy ... ive got to be honest its the first time the last few weeks since moving here over 2 yrs ago that I no longer feel ashamed to open my front door to visitors xso thankyou everyone!

optimistic-mummy

Why is it when men are bad we run rnd after then but when its us women they dont do the same for us. I know DP isnt feeling well but ive been running round after him now since sunday. Think hes made his self 2 drinks since then and thats only cuz he went to the loo and the kitchen is right next door. Hes on antibiotics and the one side of his neck was swollen but they're not sure what infection he has ... getting abit annoyed tbh .... sorry for the rant and sorry if I sound selfish just fed up seems like when its everyone else even as something simple as a cold I become a slave and skivvy but when its me even if Im in bed ill I just have to get on with it and do everything for myself and everyone else.... sorry for the moan ... blaming my hormones just fed up and slightly annoyed feel like DP is taking advantage abit

OM, hugs for you xx Us girlies have to plough through at times, hope you get some " me time" xx
