Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd November 2014

sushistar

Evening everyone. Well done for all the various flying, and sympathies on your cat PIgpen.

DH away tonight. Waiting for someone to come and pick up another ebay purchase, but I think it's a no-show :undecided:angry:

PLanning to be supermum this evening. Going to whiz through getting all of downstaors spic and span ready for the morning, make packed lunches, then make the bed (our sheets are in the wash and can get through the dryer by bedtime) and if time mark another essay. Then watch something on the laptop and drink wine!

Will pop back in an hour or so - anyone else having a FLYing evening, apart from me an Yorkshirelass? Clean, decluttered vibes, everyone

RIP Noel he sounds like a very loved cat xx

Sounds like you feel more positive about the paws LW hope the steroid injection helps x

Radio horse, grim, hope you are on the up now, there's lots of it around at the mo. I had a call from the childminder at lunchtime asking could I pickup smallest one from her in town as shed had 2 loose nappies in an hour. Er.........no......:eek::eek::eek: I had a full clinic till 4 and I was on the bike! :mad: :mad: so she compromised by bringing her back on the bus and dropped her with my friend who is a superstar . Will buy chocs for her tomorrow, maybe flowers as her hubby never gets her any :rotfl:

Middle sized one looking a bit peaky, but I'm off work tomorrow so we can cope:D meant to be going out tonight but cannot get he munchkin asleep

Zero flying today,I'm having a day off. I had a s*** day at work today and I have run out of oomph. Will have a glass of wine tonight and start again tomorrow. Wish I could have the whole bottle but smallest one shares my bed so probably not wise :cool:

Well done Lamewolf hope the injection helps x

Well done also mummyof5 and to your OH for not saying something more scathing!

I've had a productive evening, washed 3x sinks and loos (bleurgh) and wiped round the floors too. I've cleared the bannister of its piles of clothes, and got the things out ready for morning. I've had a soak in the bath, ped-egged my feet and now have them buttered in foot cream and in cotton sockies.

When I made the kids hot water bottles up, I made myself a hot black currant and popped a soluble parrots in. I've been sneezing this week but felt ok but just tonight my head felt stuffy. Feel a lot better now which could be that, the hot bath or the cleaning product :rotfl: whichever, my head feels less clogged!

In the morning we have school run, followed by DD gymnastics then meeting some friends for coffee. Must remember to take DD some snack and a colouring book. M&S cafe never seems to have a sandwich that she likes. So I'll sneak her in a buttie, and she can choose a drink and a bun.

And for honey bear's benefit, I don't mean I will sneak DD in a sandwich lol

Sorry I have been quiet and am not up to date with the thread.


I have been decluttering. Lots of bin bags to charity shop, tip, recycling & sales sites. My BF helped me move the LR furniture. I have washed the walls and skirting boards. Shelves of doom have been tidied ready for complete cull next week. DVDs have been edited. Nearly all my cds have gone.

Lovely chilled out evening with hubby, watching TV. I kept looking around my living room, in awe. It is spotless but I know in the long term it would be unrealistic to expect it to stay like that all the time. Too little time and too many other priorities. But for the time being I will strive to keep in looking as similar as I can.
House details went on the website today and my house was described as 'show home standard'. Which made me chuckle as every single cupboard and drawer is full of cr*p and he certainly wouldn't have put that if he had seen my house last week or any week before that! Lol!

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who does the lists and for all the general support. You really have given me the motivation to try to get on top of it all!
