Weekly Flylady Thread 13th January 2014

just_the_two_of_us

Hi - Ionafan - well I suppose PIIIP could refer to DHs but mine most definitely won't be! :rotfl:

Does anyone else have the "problem" that even when you have got a place where things can always be found your DH/ DP has to ask where every time he wants something? My comeback on this one is usually - "you'll be in a real mess if I go before you!"

Just done more WWI stuff - it is so addictive and we have a short timescale.

Shower and dressed and on with the flying for me now.

Wendywitch hope your day improves, must be horrid having panic attacks

Nicki I ask myself the same thing why jeans the same size/style from the same place are different; you're not alone with that one. You're sounding very organised with everything.

Not sure who it was who asked, but what I call my maiden is a 4 wooden poles in a metal support on ropes that hangs over our stairwell. It's not heated at all; my damp clothes just hang on there and are normally always dry within 24 hours.

Having another good day today; dropped DS off at school then picked up some potatoes to make pasties for dinner tonight. Back home and straight out into the back garden to clean the chooks right out so they've got a nice clean bed to come into tonight. Then hung up clothes to dry (put WM on when I got up), remade our bed and have just come down for a cuppa and to do some paid work. DH and I going for a walk in the sunshine at 10.30 but will have to watch out cos it's really icy down here.

Be back later!

Morning all

Struggling to find any sense of urgency today. Yesterday was going so well and DS2 and I had just settled down with his after-school snack when we were told that our lovely little cat had been hit by a car and died. I don't feel like doing anything, but getting on with the list will help me focus on something different, I think.

List sorted now, so the plan from now until 12.00 is: dailies, HHC bathroom and then the rest of the time in the bedroom.

Marvellous Monday Basics
Spent just under an hour in our bedroom and there is now some more clear floor space. Most of it just needed putting away, but some has gone downstairs to the charity shop. Lots left to do.
Tremendous Tueday Basics
S&S toilets and sinks
Hoover and mop the bathroom floor
shine mirrors
Bedroom Declutter
Since I don't have any 'undecided' items and there's floor left to clear, I'll carry on with that.
Extras
send 2 e-mails
update finances (again)
Sort new tyre
[STRIKE]Book exam[/STRIKE]
pay two bills
new filter bags for hoover
contact energy company
[STRIKE]sort car tax[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]write reference for neighbour[/STRIKE]

Dailies
Laundry [STRIKE]M[/STRIKE] T W T F S S
Reading/hw etc with DS2 M T W T F S S
dishes [STRIKE]M[/STRIKE] T W T F S S
contact a friend [STRIKE]M[/STRIKE] T W T F S S
Hoover downstairs [STRIKE]M[/STRIKE] T W T F S S[/QUOTE]

The note in the front of my tax returns file says (in the words of my accountant when I was self-employed):
"Keep all invoices, bank statements and tax returns for six years from the end of the tax year, o.e. when you have done your tax return for 2012-2013 destroy everything from before April 2007" and so on every year.
The 2014 stuff that you generate now can be destroyed after April 2020

Thank you. I'll be printing that out to put in the front of my folders. As soon as I can get rid of stuff I will scan & shred. Except my P45s & 2 pay slips. I've not had a paid 'employee' job since 1999 and I'd like to keep it as proof I have actually been employed by someone else :rotfl:

Sounding is the appropriate word lol Storage I have no problem organising, time management/paperwork for work/meals are a whole different matter :rotfl::rotfl:


MrsChaos - sorry to hear about your cat.

Well I've washed up 90% of what DD had supposedly done again, beds are made, decluttering programmes as I work, just waiting for my laptop to finish its scan and the WM to finish doing its thing then I can get on with today's plans I just had a horrible thought, I think I left a lip balm in my jeans pocket :eek: Think I might do some more paperwork while I wait for stuff to be done. I will get it all caught up and sorted this year :wave:

Hope today gets better Wendy witch

Mrs chaos in so sorry about your news.

Today isa non starter, tiny kept waking in the night screaming, by this morning while the screams still continued I realised she hadn't actually opened her eyes. Turns out they were swollen shut. We have be en to the doctor got some anti biotic eye drops and a dermatologist appointment at hospital. Poor thing its one thing after the other. Ska very cuddly today and doesn't want to be left understandably so will be staying close to her. Not sure what will get done, big one is better and in school.

MrsChaos

Thank you to all of you. Not the best day in the Chaos household, but dailies are now done and I'm going to spend a HHC in the bathroom.

Roxy - I hope Tiny is better soon.
