Weekly Flylady Thread 7th April 2014

Supersaver.... I agree with you over extra work, but also in my case, I have just been promoted, and as of yet haven't had my new contract etc to sign, so I don't want to come across too militant, in case they change their minds as the even more extra money would be wonderful, after having struggled for 4 years some time back, it will more than put me on an even keel. So I'll tread carefully today, and be good!! just run the staff ragged if they are not doing their job!! but I will prove if need be I am doing mine.

Daily stuff done
Floors done
T-7 and counting still got to get OH to clear his 'stuff' up, as I need to make up the beds, and get round here a fold up type bed one of my neighbours is lending me.

Sold 2 items on ebay, plus they are changing their rules yet again, 0.99p listing are to end, instead you get 20 free listings per month, which you can start at any price you like, any listings after that are 0.35p each. (remember they also now take 10% of your postage as well!! and postage went up start of April) I think I may do a couple of large car boots and end it all....................

Hello all . No flying got done yesterday as I didn't get home until 10pm. I had a drink and then was ready for bed!
That' remedied. DW emptied and stacked. WM on. About to boss the boys to get the dusting done, they have feathers on a stick so should be happy to do that!
I will get the sofa covers off today to wash too.
It's lovely and sunny here so I shall be going out in the garden very shortly. till have much to do with it so shall crack on. Sweet peas to pot up after emptying all the dead pots.
Loads of weeding to do to!

Good grief, is it Thursday already?


Not sure if I want to look at the rest of the weeks list but have had a bit of a struggle getting some frogs under control


Tuesday, next to no flying done at home.....got two new tyres for back of the Skintmobile, took it to Polish gang to get washed, hoovered and polished before getting DS from nursery, driving 70 miles to his Dad's, taking Skintmobile for MOT, collecting DS and DD4, dropping by to see my DearOldMum for a few hours (mega stress alert, she wouldn't answer the door, or the phone, I had to ring my sister to come home to let me in .....my keys were in my other hand bag)


Left at 8.30 rang back a missed call from girl from my BD group for an hour on the drive back and agreed I would go around and see her after dropping DS at nursery yesterday.....Collapsed into bed.


Wednesday, took DS to nursery, saw girl from BD group, took her to Tesco got some bits for a quick lunch and a flybaby test kit, which turned out to be positive. got 4 loads of washing on the whirligig.
Got leftover tester pots and painted stripes around the old whicker washing baskets in a vain attempt to help keep the washing tidy in the Utility. I might post a picture later.


The Utility had a serious degibble to the point where I could sweep the floor.....but I might leave pulling out the appliances and steam mopping for another day.


Mt Foldmore was greatly reduced last night.


DS has been out of sorts since yesterday, and didn't go swimming. We are almost late for nursery today, as he is saying his throat hurts....it's one thing to drop a £4 swimming lesson, but another to loose £16 for nursery when it's school holidays (EX promised he would pay for it, so I have coughed up to nursery, but still waiting for reimbursement) so I am going to be a bit more persuasive in a minute.


Oh yes, going to check for eggs on my car in a minute (I *think* CAL took exception to my nice shiny Skintmobile yesterday and thought it would need egging with one of her free range hens unborn. the egg washed off, but it was lobbed with such force I have a perfect circle of fine cracks in the paint at the point of impact) As it is technically the EX's car he is furious, but I don't have £300 just lying around for a re-spray so I may just have to wait a bit longer and hope CAL gets it all out of her system and then see if I can scrap some money together.


No more procrastinating, a quick cuppa and I will be on my way

Have a good time Bossy and Froddington, and just in case you're reading, well done Ionafan on the SW amazing figure.

Devil Cat has adopted one the folded up clean chalet duvets stacked in my office, so it's now covered in black fur. A handful of sticky tape will deal with it later, but removing it is going to break his little heart, especially as OH, his hero, is still away. I might leave it until tomorrow.

Chalet via car wash today and I've just realised I've arranged for a delivery which will arrive mid to late morning tomorrow, so I'll need to be here for that which cuts down my time over there. Rats.

Morning all.

Up at 6am, and DD hasn't stopped fussing since :wall: She lay all her clothes out on the bed and then proceeded to fold them so precisely she'd have driven Sheldon Cooper mad! We've had minor disagreements over what she should take but she is now packed, and nagging me to get dressed so we can leave. She doesn't need to be at the airport until 1pm, and we're not leaving here until 11.30am :rotfl:

Flying wise, dailies are done, place is presentable and I'm going to get a few bits together for errand running when I've dropped DD off. A trip to Mr A for some ready meals, milk and a bottle of vino I think will be included there. Then after a bath I think an early night might be on the cards for me. I'm shattered and aching all over from all the exercise the past 2 days.

Oh well, I best move myself before DD literally drags me up the stairs :rotfl::rotfl: Catch you all later :wave:

mrs-moneypenny

popping back to say hope all those going away have good weather and a very nice time away.

avon lady came so slightly later start on clearing the settee of clothes than planned

Kaz2904

Living room done . Nephew did the dusting. DS folded the washing and it's now all away. Hoovering done .
Now we're off out to the garden and lots of clearing to happen. It's going to take all day and DD says she has a whole day of homework to do. Rights, coffee drunk, now let's get to it!

Fizz, sorry to hear about the break in. Gits.
