Weekly Flylady Thread 2nd December 2013

bossymoo

Hi everyone.

Just pottering about today decorating the garage room with paper snowflakes and cotton wool balls strung on thread

Have a nice neat kitchen, but DD is home so there are craft bits all over the LR. But she's having fun.

We have nursery lady coming to visit later, ahead of DD moving in the new year. Inlaws are collecting DS, they are babysitting tonight. I'm going out for a meal!

Really must sweep LR floor again...

Afternoon all :hello:

Busy day thus far; dropped DH, DSS & DSD at the station first thing, DH is out for posh lunch after board meeting as another director is leaving, he wanted to make the most of the wine list
took DS2 to school, worked for 2 hours, battled my way around Ald!, stopped off at Sainsbobs for fillet steak as DH has requested beef wellies tomorrow. Then to collect a digital photo frame and memory card which is my Dad and his OH's Christmas present. Also got a nightlight for in the hall as DSD is afraid of the dark and I HATE the big hall light being left on all night.

Home, all shopping away, WUDUPA, S&S kitchen and bathroom. WM x 1 ready to be hung up to dry and another load just waiting for uniform when the boys get home.

I need to whip the duster 'round the LR and our bedroom and vac everywhere before 3, dropping the boys off with their Dad after school so I want to have a fighting chance at a "day off" tomorrow.

For all you wine drinkers, Ald! have Chablis in at the mo for £6.99 :money: Got a bottle for our regular Saturday morning skid-free treat -- a glass of Chablis and a slow read of the obituaries, a la Rumpole of the Bailey :rotfl:

Any recommendations for high street photo printing? I would like to send a wedding photo along with the Christmas cards to my bazillions of aunties but dunno where's best to get them done.

Thankyou!

I'm going to bed. I feel so blugh. It's not made so I'll take a blanket . Kids home soon, maybe they'll look after me? :rotfl:

DS1 and I have buried Royal Paws so more tears decluttered but we reminissed about the day she nearly caught a squirrel, she was so proud.

Collected the boys from school to save them getting the bus. Poor DS3 was learning animal names in French and had to say how many pets they had - poor timing but he coped.

Just having a cuppa and then HHC before dinnner and taking DS2 to work.

I have decided to come back for some pre Christmas inspiration to get things done around the house.

ATM the hall and kitchen are in turmoil, walls are currently being chipped out ready for re-pointing inside :eek: Then they need to be boarded and plastered. If they are boarded before Christmas that will be great: I can't get a plasterer here before the big day.

The dust in the house is horrendous but DSs have been taping sheeting across top of stairwell to keep the dust out of the bedrooms.

Dusty oh, poor DS3, that must've been so hard for him.
Something a little fanciful maybe, but I thought I'd share - according to Norse legend, the goddess Freya's chariot is pulled by cats. Now, as you know, there is no way you'll get a cat to do anything it doesn't want to, so presumably they want to pull her chariot. Therefore, she must really care for cats the other end of the Rainbow Bridge.

The Flying bit - I've done my weekly virtual flying, ie done the accounts all up to date, and done the back-ups. Other than that I'm fit for precisely nothing, having been out for a meal last night to celebrate Mr LW's birthday.

battled my way around Ald!,

Hey FizzWhizz
I know just what you mean having battled my way round our Aldi this morning too. :rotfl: Is it my imagination or is it busier - or do I normally not go in on a Friday?

The cars were playing dodgems in the car park even though they have introduced a car park policy there are some crafty people who have found a way around it!!!

Not too much done here today as still not 100%
dw x 1 wm x 1 td x 1
some paperwork done and bin emptied
I should do the ironing but may leave it until tomorrow as I've nothing to do over the weekend because the shopping is all done. DH only has to go once or at the most twice a month now to take me to the big Mr T so he can push the trolley!!!

Wish it could be wine-o'clock for me too later as it may help me to sleep!

I am so close to finishing this window buts it too dark and the traffic going past with headlights on was playing havoc with my eyes. I'd be further on if I'd started earlier than 11am Tomorrow I think I'll set alarms and get up as if we had school so I can get on with the window as soon as possible.

Time to sort something for tea, then get DD to have a trying on session of her clothes so I know what she needs. Catch you all later :wave:

Ooh I like chablis. Let me know if it's any good - I have to go past Mummyoffive's to get to an Aldi - ours isn't open yet. Home early because I am going out on a jolly.
I am now officially in post until July, though yet to see a contract. Then we shall see...it means I am no way guaranteed to get f/t.:o

DD is full of cold though.

Shower time!
