Weekly Flylady Thread 28th July 2014

Hmm. DD is in DS bed (with him). They had their giggle time but its quiet now. I guess I will lift her back in a while.

Feel bushed, all of a sudden.

Did loads of cooking though. Kids made ginger men while I supervised and cooked some of the meat. They sent these chilli-lime skinned chicken portions OMG they are lush. So I have a freezer full and a tub of cooked stir fry in the fridge, along with the chilli-lime wrapped up which we'll use for snacks. Stewing steak is still in the slow cooker.

DW been on, and wiping round done.

I think I might nod off here

Cleaned upstairs toilet inside and out
Cleaned upstairs sink inside and out including shining the taps and the worktop
Cleaned downstairs toilet inside and out
Cleaned downstairs sink inside and out including shining the taps

Did one load of washing and managed to get it nearly dry before it rained.

Shattered now but needed to make up for doing nothing yesterday.

Bossy welcome back

Piggers sorry to hear Dot is being peskie, is there any obvious reason for this? you know loads abour bringing kids up and I know nothing.........are her clothes itchy for example...........and have any issues been made over the use of toilets when out..........I hope you manage to sort it out.

She is usually naked.. like 95% of the time.. starkers!!.


toilets is just 1 aspect .. she has a routine for getting in the car seat, she will only use red plates and blue beakers, she won't be washed or brushed.. she is like stig of the dump. I am actually quite worried about her overall behaviour.

She has her Speech and Language triage on the 15th .. hopefully we can do something with her rather cute lisp and her frustrating stammering.

Welcome back Bossy.....

I have been laying out in the front garden in the dark and stinging nettles, poking in the drains with a net and a stick, as someone told DD4 had posted all my flexible friends down the toilet.........after almost 2 hours I was confident my credit cards were never flushed in the first place.......after having a shower to get clean, DD1 and I found after a further 20 minutes .....loads more washing done......DD1 is all uptodate, and half of DD2 is through now (I have been using the new Unstinkable freshener as her stuff has been cooped up for over 6 weeks, and goodness knows when it was washed before that!)

did some major re-organization today, but too early to prove if it has been a worthwhile change or not.......time to get some shut eye now......TTFN

been awake for about an hour, but still on the sofa from where I zonked out last night.......I checked my phone a little while ago, I sent a message to DD2 about 10 minutes after my last post on here saying I had found my credit cards, and then there were two unexpected texts.....another one I sent her which I am calling a Zombie text where I had mis-typed her name and the rest was gibberish....the next one from DD2 said "I don't know what that means, but I loves you xxx"

I know I am very sleep deprived, but falling asleep with laptop open and mid text is a new one on me.......today is most going to consist of getting some more of DD2 washing through the system and while the weather is fine, I have sorted kids fluffy toys into machine washables, hand washables, and surfaces spongeables with electronics.....going to use the "Unstinkable" stuff on them so they will smell fresher and cuddlier for longer.

I have BD appointment later, so while in town I am going to see if I can get some button batteries from 99pee shoppee as DD4's talking Pepp@ P!g has developed Tourettes....If I can't get her working properly, I will take out the electronics, give her a tummy tuck and sew her up and sling her in the washing machine with the other fluffies.

Right time for a quiet brew and some toast before I get everyone up and out ....happy flying people :wave:
