Weekly Flylady Thread 16th July 2007

Dustykitten

AnWMum I do not beleive us mere mortals are allowed to know her name so I think she just signs her letter 'your toothfairy'. She usually uses a very sharp pencil to do tiny writing with. She has often not visited us due to, comic relief day, fan being on in the bedroom, very busy nights etc.

Galv great news, made me smile

Not actually started on the list but have been money saving finding more insurance quotes TESCO POINTS OFFER ENDS TODAY FOR CAR QUOTES.

Also found alternataive stockist of secondary school uniform which is £5.50 per sweatshirt cheaper! Naughty school says you have to get it from John Lewis but there ones are really expensive and poor quality.

Also got my boots health club vouchers through - 50 top products will now be half price with my card.

Must remeber to get teachers pressies, thanks for reminding me

Need to hoover up spilt ready brek flakes before the kids walk through it when they get home.

Swimming lessons (free swim from Morrisions for DS2) and meeting at school so could be back much later x

AnW'sMum

Thanks Just finished the reply, the Tooth Fairy here is called 'Twinkle' I quote from the letter 'my mum the Queen Tooth Fairy thought it was just right for me as all teeth should twinkle after they have been brushed'

Right better put it under the pillow and get on with packing our cases (should have been doing this an hour ago)

Fledgling 7WW reporting in, and all I can say is Phew - how on earth do you people find time to post and do your tasks?

Congratulations to all those with good news, and hugs for all those with sad news (sorry I'm still trying to catch up with who's who and everything that's going on)

Let's see if I can do this right:

Level 1
[strike]Vacuum floors and sofas
[/strike] I am never having a black and white cat again - black fur on light stuff and white fur on dark stuff - grrr

Level 2
[strike]Dusting, even if around everything
[/strike]
[strike]Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe[/strike]
[strike]Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
[/strike] TV in living room died a few months back and we never replaced it
Level 3
[strike]Wipe light switches and banister
[/strike]
[strike]Clean any other glass like mirrors etc[/strike] including frosted glass doors
[strike]Tidy shoes, coats and bags
[/strike]
[strike]Vacuum under furniture (only if you won't hurt yourself doing it, don't want any injuries)
[/strike]
Extra Mission:
Pick one or more of the following tasks –

• Clear one hotspot, or just spend at least 5 minutes tackling it
• Clear one shelf, dust and replace items after giving them a wipe over
• [strike]
  
• Clean windows in these rooms, or even just one
• [/strike] The hall is now much brighter with all the light coming in the window!
• Using the idea Shirley suggested, get yourself a bag or box, go around collecting things that are not in the place they should be, then put them back where they should be.

All that remains now is to go outside and pick a random selection of peas and mangetout and whatever else is ready to go in the pasta and ham for tea.

That's all for now folks,
7WW

Well after getting off to a good start yesterday (I have a nearly cleanish kitchen!!) today's been a disaster. I've had so many errands to do then sports day I've got no cleaning or housework done at all.

Must do better tomorrow......

Well done to everyone who've achieved their targets :T

Spent some time with afternoon doing baking with the littles. We made jam tarts and I finally used up the mincemeat I had left from Christmas (if Im not on line tomorrow you know it has given me food poisoning - lol). Then spent time recleaning kitchen.

Jam tarts went down a treat, dd1 ate a whole one and dd2 scoffed 2 and wanted more (she has a real sweet-tooth thanks to visits to MIL's). I have scoffed about 3 (or maybe 4!!) not good as I wanted to loose a stone in weight before we go to Butlins 7th Sept.

Right guess the next challenge is tea, littles bedtime and then collapse on the couch! Managed to rearrange driving lesson as did not want to pass on my germs to her and her kiddies.

Right got a bag of spuds with my name on.

Getting there.

Shirley - Hugs to you.
Galav- Congrats
Hugs to all the ill ones out there and heres for a speedy recovery.

Right to the stairs......

Edit:
Done them and also hoovered around the ceilings getting all the cobwebs around the house. Cor bilmey there were loads. My nice clean windows from yesterday are no longer clean from a combined effort of the rain and the blasted cat climbing in and out of them leaving smudged paw prints down them. Grrr.

Yes it did bring a smile to my face .... Wow what a whopper!

Still need ice cream - it didn't really help with the sore throat but it tasted very good.

Year 3 (the age they leave my school) are doing theirfarewell performance tonight so back to school in a minute. Must take extra hanky. Hope to catch up with you all (not catch up with the flying :rotfl: ) later.

So if I use a trug to go and collect things in the wrong place and put them right, am I doing a 'Shirley'?

I went to the shops to get a box for all those cables for the PC (camera cable, ipod cable etc) and bought a bread bin. I did get a box, but only till I see one I like. And coat hangers cos I [STRIKE]wanted[/STRIKE] needed them. and another one of those wee things to dry your pants and socks on, and a new mat for the back door.

Kids picked a nice card for Daddy's 30th Birthday on Friday though. And I got a nice bag and tissue paper for under £3.00, so I don't feel THAT guilty! (even though I left the dishes)
