Weekly Flylady Thread 7th July 2014

Honey_Bear

Something that has been worrying me for months has been resolved, highly satisfactorily for all parties concerned! Like you, Lamewolf, I worry about things as well and just sometimes it works out really really well. So, although he'll never read this, 'Thank you A; you've made my day.' Just needed to put that out there.

Back to the Frog.

pigpen

Finished her shorts..

LameWolf

Piggers that really is a super little outfit; you are so talented, I wish I had half your skill!
I also hope you're feeling a bit better by now; I too hate upchucking; unfortunately, it's pretty much a weekly event for me.:(
I hope your DD3 has finished with the Big White Telephone by now, too.

Today I have got a WM load of Mr LW's jeans and t-shirts washed, dried and in the airing cupboard; replenished Jessie's food bowl (she's a "grazer"); walked her, given her a game with her ball, and brushed her, ready to go home at 16:00 today.

Good job we have a six-foot fence round the garden - the neighbours would have had a good laugh at me letting her out for a wee first thing this morning, as she decided to have a mad fling, so there was me stood in the middle of the back lawn in my dressing gown and Mr LW's wellies, with this big, off-white furball dog running round and round me in circles like something possessed!:D (She's a Labradoodle, but more Doodle than Lab).

Latest news - Mr LW has an appointment to attend the clinic for a preliminary appointment at 18:15 next Tuesday; he's emailed his boss to ask to wfh that day. This is, of course, what we wanted, and is amazingly quick compared to the NHS, but nevertheless, I feel thoroughly sick thinking about it._pale_

I still need to pay my invoice, but I'm waiting for the system to update as I estimate I only need to pay about half of what its currently showing as my balance

I think DD has been kidnapped by aliens. :rotfl: She's just walked home from the bus stop in 10minutes, this being a bus stop that is about 20 minutes walk away! She's also still stuffed from her packed lunch despite leaving her 2 apples (one for lunch & one for on the way home), and is currently upstairs getting changed when normally she's still not even home! However, if she thinks she's getting a lie in tomorrow just because there's no school she's got another thing coming. We'll be up and out to Mr A for a top-up shop (we need fruit, and I can only carry so much lol) and hopefully in town before the rally starts making its way up through the city centre.

I am off to....read a magazine so I can cross something else off, and have a coffee and admire my empty letter rack where my tax papers have been sitting for weeks :wave:

Evening, just got the littlies into bed.

Pretty full on day at paid stuff, bit definitely finished until Monday. Having friends DD over tomorrow as her school is involved in the strikes. it's good as she will entertain my DD We need to go collect a parcel and return some books to the library, but other than that, they can play and I can fly. We may go to the park...

So this eve so far I have bathed and fed the kiddies, vacced downstairs and started the kitchen floor with a cloth. It does get mopped but I wanted to get right into the corners, oh yuck! Down on hands and knees is a good vantage point for spotting grot down the side of the dishwasher and finding sweeties melted under the cooker :mad:

Anyway, I've done all the edges and the skirtings. I'll do the middle in a bit. Also need to sort the dishes after tea. I've not had anything (except icecream )

Bought a couple of mags today for my hols. Got ones with free makeup - so I have a Clinique mascara and a lip and cheek stain for my hols too :T
