Weekly Flylady Thread 9th June 2014

Go Bossy Go! All you're doing is making public a problem we all know very well (((in secret))). It's a phase of childhood that all Mums manage amazingly well every single year and I can't understand why it's something people don't just talk about like colds and coughs and now mumps and meseales and chicken pox. Because, obviously, it's all part of it.

OH is back and Oh! Oh! Oh! I will now admit - I quite like him and I quite miss him when he's away. He makes me laugh, he's a great guy and he does a fair share around the house. He hates, loathes and detests the macho stuff, he's utterly cr*p at DIY but ... he's there. He's a useful sounding board, fun and nowhere near who I thought I would fall in love with when I was younger ... but ... here's the thing ... my OH is OK.

Honey, that's really sweet .. I rather like my OH too.. he is generous and kind and gentle.. if a bit sulky and grumpy and a bit bone idle .. He reaches the parts others cannot too.... I luffs him

On with my last 6 squares.. I then have the border to knit.. this blanket it lovely, the colours look really good together.

Hi all - this is unheard of - I am normally snoring sweetly before 9:30!

Just having a coffee and making another phone call at 11:20 - hopefully with the correct result otherwise will set alarm for ten to 1 to check up again and if not sorted S*ntander are getting a big complaint!!!!

Looking forward to sorting banking once and for all before end of June - should have put that on my June Challenge!

Welcome to newbies.

Plan for tomorrow -
bank 1st thing
more gardening - 1 hr max
then at 10:30 Thursday HHC anyone joining me?

Sleep well.

I have paid stuff Thursday morning and evening so not much flying will be happening here so it's looking like Friday will be a busy day.

I've decided to go to the bank on Saturday morning. DD is doing a fundraiser with school washing cars from 10am-4pm. I'll jump the bus with her and go to the bank by her school then take a slow walk back. Then Sunday she's out with her dad so I'll get a Mr A delivery booked for then. DD uses bottled water for school I'm trying to maximise the number I have in before my delivery pass expires while still getting the weekly shop

I've just noticed the time. I should really get my backside to bed. Night all :wave:

A warm welcome to the new peoples :hello:

:wave: Ionafan from a nocturnal Skinty and DD1.

Been getting more washing done on cheap leccy :money: and pegging out under the flood light, so although it is very humid out right now, by lunchtime all the towels should be dry as a bone. All of the younger Skints washing is now colour sorted whites, darks, pink/red and green/blue. Utility floor is swept and DD4 has back on the washable nappies (ran out of disposables a week ago and the BD had me chained up inside the house after collecting DD2 from Uni). Nappies have been rubbed through and having a pre soak before slinging in a fast boil wash in a bit.

DD1 is currently baking whoopsie goodies on cheap leccy :money: I am going to need to do gardening tomorrow to burn off all those yummy calories.

Hopefully I will get lappy on during the day tomorrow and get a bit more crossed off. nighty night :wave:

Morning everyone - not much sleep here!!! Hate going to bed late as can never nod off. Now up being a gnome again and fed up with people telling me different tales!

TBH Pigpen - this is first time have had a problem with S****er but dread my phone bill next month!!! At least there is a way round it.

One imp email to sort then might as well GUGDGO ( Get up get dressed get on) whilst trying not to wake DH!!!

Morning everyone

Another beautiful morning, almost a shame all the washing is up to date! Oh, just thought, I should really put the shower curtain and bathmat in for a freshen up.

Busy with paid stuff this morning then some work on job number 2 this aft. Our little study (aka dumping ground) is a complete mess so that will also be a priority today. Might try and get some paperwork filed.

Good morning all.hayfever has set in here, I'm sneezing, eyes and nose running... not a pretty sight (ok, it's not usually anyway).

was doing really well Tuesday as boiler man was coming so kitchen and utility were cleaned. Then my sis came with the boys so didn't get much done. Was rude at half 2 and told her I had to go shopping before the kids got home but she was fine, said she would call back later. So a bit of shopping and Amazon parcel returned. Kids collected and boiler fixed (or so we thought). At half 6 sis came back so was a quick tea and we didn't try the boiler.

i did spend 45 mind clearing out a cupboard in the room, stood up took 4 steps and my leg decided it was dead! I came crashing down on the radiator valve. I have a fantastic sized bruise on my thigh and everything aches, I think from where I tried to catch myself... see flying is dangerous! Lol

yesterday I woke the girls, put the shower on and nothing... It was freezing!
Did some shopping for white shorts (and spent a fortune on other things) dis dropped boys off while she worked, boiler man cam back and was here over an hour, sorted tea and bed.

I think I need extra hours in the day for cleaning, lol.

kiddies up, going to get them ready and make a start on today. Will update my lists later when it's not a whole page long X
