Weekly Flylady Thread 10th November 2014

Morning all.

Hugs, sticks, spoons & vibes to all as I haven't caught up on last weeks thread.

Went awol again due to another busy week. I think Friday and Sunday were the only days I didn't go out last week which is not like me! Saturday I had a mad clean round before some of ex's family came to collect DD. Just managed to get stuff done except vacuuming upstairs before they turned up so the place isn't too bad.

This week I have loads of admin to do, an appointment tomorrow so I'll be out running errands all day, and I really need to get the end of the livingroom decorating done as I realised last night that I only have 2 more weekends then its Advent and I start my Christmas decorating that weekend! :eek: Hopefully DD won't have much homework & will be able to chip in as well.

Todays plan:
Laundry
Ironing
Accounts
Compare debt plan to loan offer to see it the consolidation loan is worth it
Type up recipes for DD
Collect books from school at hometime
Homework

I best get on or I'll never clear my list. :wave:

I've already spent an hour and a half tidying, sorting and dealing with 'stuff' so that I can get to the carpet washing bit that needs to be done and it started off as the priority today. And I thought the place was fairly straight. Will someone please tell me when I'm going to be on top of this place?

Morning all


Thanks for the lists this week Natty.


It will be a short week of flying for me as I'm off to see the northern lights towards the end of the week.


I need to get the house straight before I go, as I have people popping in to feed the mogs.


Flying dropped off a bit towards the end of last week, the BD almost smothered me, so much so that I've booked an appointment with a counsellor. I hope she is as good as my last counsellor (she is based in my adopted home town, so can't go back to her).


Tonight's list


Pack for holiday
Book train tickets

As someone who has been here.. on the fly thread for the last 8 years and spent the last 12 decluttering and flinging.. maybe forever!!

Back in again this week. I went to visit parents to get out of house for a while. OH is still packing up his stuff and says he will be gone by next Monday. I cried when I saw all the boxes packed up but I will get there!


Just having cup of coffee then going to do hall and stairs. Have been to Drs already and managed a bit of shopping.


Have only skimmed old thread but very sorry to hear about the sadness with the cats.


Hugs to all

Load number 3 in WM, load number 2 in DW and load number 2 in TD
Breakfast and lunch made for DD1. DD1 helped me move the last few things in the front room move around and I cleaned the laminate floor behind the t.v unit
I have finally been given a birthday/Christmas list by DD1, slightly late as her birthday is in a weeks time :eek: :mad:
Still can't get the word processor to work, I have earache (again) and DD1 is snotty and breathing funny so I'm feeling really, really grumpy. AND my mobile phone that was supposed to be here friday but when I called got told Monday am is still not here! :mad:
I'm going to have a coffee and look through this present list see if there is anything I can get in a week :cool:

You're right, of course, Pigpen. And I suppose what's happening is that I'm not noticing the improvments any more, and am focussing too closely on the bits that I'm no longer content to leave until another day / year / lifetime.

I'm now removing masking tape stickyness from a short flight of wooden steps over a bit of carpet that needs vaccumming before I can wash it. And the steps need washing because of the sticky stuff remover. And so on, and so on.

Hi all,
I'm in again this week. Thanks Natty for the thread.

Am doing my own list today, living room is still clean from last week (the joys of being single and childless) but there are some items clogging it up a little.
I'm a bit annoyed with ebaaay customers at the minute. I used to do AS parties and have a box of ex kit items in perfect condition. I listed one expensive item (£50) on there at only £15 and had 8 watchers so thought I was definitely getting shot.... didn't sell! I relisted last night and less than 24 hours later has 4 watchers already. Really hope some of it shifts as although I'm losing money on what I paid it's not doing me any good sitting about the house.

sorry, rant over!

First day I had to defrost the car today and first neighbours Christmas lights up last night. Feels like it's rubbing in how behind I am with everything this year.

Anyway, enough of my whinging today! Hope you're all warm and well.
