Weekly Flylady Thread 9th July 2007

liuhut

Well, this is the first time I have been on all week....my DD1 has come down with Chicken Pox....last week of school as well so she is really upset that she has missed out on so much stuff.
She is really suffering bless her so I'm only just managing to get the very minimum done...then I bet DD2 will get it, she's only 2 so that will be a nightmare!!
Oh well looks like we wont be going far for the next few weeks....any ideas for keeping a poorly 6 year old and cabin fevered 2 year old entertained!!!

Liuhut- hope littel one better form chcken pox soon- they can be sooo miserable. My DD grizzled for a week.
Heavenleigh- good luck with the junk room. My mother will hate my house if I get it too clean and tidy. She disapproves of housework (I think!!)
Pigpen hope you find a course/paymetn method that will be suitable. You must be sooo competent with 8 DKs- I'm in awe. I stopped after 4 (of similar ages to your top 4).

Oh i really hate having to tackle rooms i have left for so long.
I had to walk through the kitchen to junk room #1 so decided to tidy that up first,
here are the before and after photos i am about to send to my mum,





and here is the smallest junk room in the house that i am in the middle of tackling :eek:

Believe me this is nothing compared to the bedroom adjoined to it.

Afternoon all

One load of washing done, it was hung outside for a couple of hours but it's drizzling now so it's draped round upstairs.

Cleaned bathroom and toilet, I think it's probably about level 2 (in my head!) The computer desk gets done with the hallway because that's where it is. I clear stuff off the computer regularly because I can't stand too much rubbish on it.

Made a load of hobnobs. The first lot I made tasted lovely but were soft rather than biscuity. I haven't tried one of these yet but I think they're going to be the same. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. I tried making them slightly smaller this time and I turned the oven up a bit. They look right but not crunchy.

I watched Anthea this morning and I was glad Stephanie won too, she had such a mountain to climb.

Heavenleigh.. I think mine is tidy when it has more mess than that!!! Get out of here woman!!! lol I have more mess in a square metre than all that put in one pile!!

WHAT!!! A MORNING!!!

I took the chillies to school then walked back up for sports day at 11am.. I LITERALLY just walked back in the door and school rang saying DD4 had been sick and would I go get her so I have just her back put both girls in bed (the sicky one is asleep already!) and am now trying to find someone with a van so we can collect a new suite for my gran who lost her home in the flooding.. I must have been VERY wicked in a former life!!

lol i started small, having finished that room i am now about to embark or the bedroom joined onto it, i will take a picture in a minute but if anyone has a messier room in their house than the one i am about to do i will come and clean it for them!
Also my hall and stairs are upside down as are the kids bedrooms. I am aiming by the end of this week to have gone through every room but as you will see there are bigger messes to deal with than the tiny one i have just done :rotfl:
