Weekly Flylady Thread 1st September 2014

From the list, I sorted my plastic containers, wiped the tiles. I've put the oven shelves in the bath to soak and have cleaned the oven door. Couple of phone calls to make, then the paid stuff.

Pinches punches and white fuzzy bunnies!! Slaps and kick for all that were quick

JTTOU.. It depends on the weight. It only needs to be 4-5 inches wide for a child's scarf. With dk and 4mm needles usually 100g is plenty but 200g should be plenty long enough. With Aran and 5mm needles you may need more. I suggest you look on ravelry at similar items with the same wright yarn and see how much they used for their patterns .. I do that and then adapt a pattern I love and mash it up. If you get on there search laughingbird scarf.. That is what I am doing my mother for christmas with a planter filled with plants.

Over to the gardeners herein... Are there any bulb flowers which won't kill a loony dog if it digs them up and eats them??

00:17 pixie finally went to sleep!!! I am exhausted absolutely dead on my get she is laid snoring beside a snoring OH .. I dislike them both .. A lot!!!

Good morning all. I'm going to try again this week. Than you for the lists


My weekend didn't quiet go to plan as my sister came with the nephews and the older one didn't want to go home so not much got done around a 2 year old.


Last night the stress of DH going self employed, chucking 12k at it and having only made £50. money is now none exsistant and he still cant see why I shouted cos he wanted some cans... So I spent last night on the sofa, couldn't sleep so sorted all yesterdays washing ready for the kids to take up and a quick tidy up. Worked on DH website that nobody will apparently help him with (I've done all the ringing round!!) Sorted DS at half 1 from his night terror. Cleaned up after the pup at 5 and let the cat in. Woke up at 8 to the dogs asking to go out.


DS2 is up and nappy changed, and dressed... No sign of any of the others.


Finished my tea so going to start on the kitchen list as it all needs doing, Although my kiddies don't go back for another week yet:( so I can cross them bits straight off the list.

15 minutes...
Check little ones and bigger ones have got everything they need for start of new school term. Off for the last few bits today

[STRIKE]NO crying when dropping off at school [/STRIKE] Neither of us can wait for her to go back as we're at the stage we're driving each other up the wall so there'll be no tears here although neither of us are looking forward to the 6am get ups :rotfl::rotfl:
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
30 minutes to spare...
Sweep and mop floors
Clean the fridge and work anything that needs using soon into your meal plan
Wipe dining table.. (clean table cloth if necessary)
Got an hour...
Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc
Wipe all the windows in these areas!!
Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards..
Wipe out a dirty cupboard... get rid of everything you no longer need and make it all pretty and tidy!
Extra Mission : help yourself

• S&S over the hob and oven
• Wipe down any tiles and shine those taps.. a toothbrush is great for cleaning away the gunk!
• 34 fling boogie..
• Empty the bin.. wash it out.. and make it smell heavenly
• Sort through storage containers in kitchen, fling any tubless lids or lidless tubs if they can't be used for anything, anything broken or past it's use by!

DD is currently in the bath, I'll be next in and probably take half the time (she's already been up there nearly an hour!), beds are being changed today as no more decorating until Wednesday except assembling furniture! Too much to do between errands today, putting the livingroom back together (I can move one or two items as needed to finish off any painting) and paid stuff! I told my customers I'd put books out today but I can't do that when I can't even get at them due to the way the livingroom is. So I'll need to get the place sorted today when I get back from the shops, and crack on either tonight or tomorrow as I need to collect them back in on Monday before my order is due Thursday! I need a couple of days as you can guarantee people will forget and ring me with late orders; happens every first book of September

Off to write my shopping lists as according to my weather radar app the current drizzle should be gone by 11am and I'm planning on us walking to town to save busfare :wave:

bossymoo

We'll be out shortly for a few hours. I've sorted the kitchen (did the floors last night so just a bit of wiping around and sorting the breakfast things.

My dressing gown is soaking in vanish ready for a wash later - will take it with me on Friday.

All bathed and dressed. I did do DD hair but goodness knows what she's been doing to it she looks like she's been dragged through a hedge backwards. She's got a frill skirt on for her "party" bless her.

So I'm just going to put some washing away now and then we'll be off. Will catch up this aft as granny is coming to take DS to swimming lessons, and DD might go watch so I'll have time to see to the fridge and decide on food.

Valli

Good morning all.

raining here but we are due finer weather, apparently, so I will NOT be using the TD.
