Weekly Flylady Thread 30th December 2013

I sparingly stitched DD's blazer, just a few strategically places stitches and the hem seems to be staying put WMx3 done, just about to put the last load on the maiden to dry. I also did a big roast dinner, plenty of left overs for tomorrow

The rest of my day has been spent getting information from various sources (read: 2 old diaries which weren't patchy, last years diary which wasn't used properly so only had some information in, an academic diary I've been trying to use but I just can't get to grips with it, last years calender & DD's school planner for school dates) and putting it into this years diary. Its all there now, and I'm just colour coding the year planner part so I can see at a glance when work commitments/birthdays/anniversaries/school holidays are. I'm trying to be more organised this year so I don't forget birthdays etc.

DD has just made her bed now its shoe cleaning, lunch making, bath & bed for her. I need to make plans for tomorrow, looking forward to getting back into a routine

Hello All
Thank you Dusty for the latest challenges.I had a rest from chores as we went to see my lovely Grandson.I am looking forward to the new week's list though.Hope you are all safe from the floods.

Boddy - hope your DD gets sorted soon - being unwell for any length of time is debilitating in itself.

Rest of washing ironed and on maiden (to get 'bone' dry;))
Uneaten, and increasingly brown, bananas have been converted into a fat free banana cake.

Ah well - in six weeks it'll be half term.

Wonder what these six weeks have in store for us?

I'm so glad everyone else seems to have had a low-flying day today too... As a newbie I was expecting to login today and find you'd all done loads and make me feel as I hardly managed a thing!!

I awoke with best intentions but then FIL rang and asked if we'd go with him to collect new pup...2 hours drive away!! So that has been the best part of the day and now I've sat down my get-up has gone! ...pup is cute though, 8 week old German shepherd, all feet and ears bless him!

Evening!

We're all set for morning, DD quite excited to see her uniform laid out. DS said he will see if she's ok at playtime she can play with him and jack, apparently

Been out most of day but did a couple of hhc once we were home. Emptied DW, did a marathon putting away session, fed littlies, got my work stuff together, found weatherproofing spray so tackled school shoes, checked wellies are labeled. Think we might need those this week

Washed kids bedding this morning, that's dry and ready to put away.

DD has been coughing tonight. Hoping its just a tickle she's been warned again about sleeping in her own bed

"See" you tomorrow x

Hi babychick

The idea is to keep on top during the week, then we can take the weekend off!

I think I've done everything I wanted to today, including a walk around town with DD whose phone is on the way out.

Christmas packed away here too, and all ready for tomorrow!

Good wishes to all returning to school tomorrow, whether staff or students!

Sorted out some clothes for recycling

Sat down for 30 minutes and read a book (can't remember last time I did this during the day!)
