Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd December 2014

bossymoo

Kiddies bathed and in pjs now playing under DD bed and have a tray of supper items. Both kiddies beds remade and stairs vacced down. Might be a bit late to start on a cupboard. Although I did have a small tidy in garage.
Have brought my case from a week ago upstairs might put it in loft in a mo but my energy levels have just slumped!

So a 5min lie down with a drink first.

DS tidied under his bed while DD was in bath and vice versa

mamaninie

managed to get the kids to sort through their boxes and dumped another carrier bag of tat and rubbish in the bin :j:j:j Also wiped out a kitchen drawer as I'd managed to pretty much empty it of pots and pans through cooking the kids tea.

We are having a hitting problem with dd1 today - she's been on the step 3 times today, and probably could have gone on a few more times SHe gets sooooo annoyed with ds, and expresses her rage and frustration with her hands/elbows/feet etc SHe's sadly lost all her star points today, I just need to break it to her......


Going to attempt an early bedtime for the littlest now - wish me luck!

A very unproductive day though, despite putting away ALL the washing :j:j:j:j Will try to do a bit more once smallest goes to bed.

Well done LW on coping with something that is hard for you. I am DREADFUL for not knowing whether I know someone of not. I think its because I meet far too many people through my 2 different jobs, and because I'm almost compulsively very sociable and talk to lots of people randomly, which sounds almost like completely the opposite problem

Mamaninie- we are going through the same with our little man. He will be three next month. It started two weeks ago. It's mostly aimed at us not other children when he is told no! It's rather embarrassing. I hope e phase passes quickly!

Busy day, feel like I have done loads but house is still cluttered!

Kitchen and bathrooms done and most of the ironing.

Make bread
Hhi x 2 (was 5!!!!!)
Packing!

Monday Mayhem..
Wash cat bowls

Have a crazy HHC decluttering downstairs
Children... quick.. tidy your rooms you don't want Santa thinking you don't look after your stuff.. he might not leave any presents!
Vacuum through downstairs.. and the stairs!
Mop the kitchen floor!

Will do some of this tomorrow!

I am beyond furious. We are helping DD2 and her b/ f buy a flat. We have given them some money. Because of this we have to prove that we are not money laundering.

DH went into the solicitors about 4 weeks ago to prove his identity ( he wrote the cheque). DH doesn't have a passport or driving licence.

Today the solicitor e-mailed to say that he hadn't provided enough evidence. I was fuming.

I managed to get hold of the solicitor. I know what DH needs to take in tomorrow, but I still seething.

That legislation always struck me as a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. When Gadaffi died I think I heard that he had something like £9 billion in British banks, and somehow I managed to miss the newspaper story with a piccie of him trotting up the steps to the bank with his gas bill and driving licence. It's an absolute nonsense, and it doesn't seem to actually stop any money laundering at all - it just inconveniences everyone who's honest.


As our neighbour was leaving after the Residents' Association meeting last week he invited himself in for cookies tonight - I was batch baking Twinks for a school fair that evening. So OH dropped a note in to ask him if he'd like to join us for something to eat at 7.00 followed by cookies prior to OH going to watch his team at the pub. I made a really nice supper, baked a fresh load of crystalized ginger Twinks and the neighbour DNA - he's a doctor and they get furious if patients Do Not Attend. So, I should be furious, but I'm so laid back since the frogs all disappeared I can't be !!!!!d with the fury. More Twinks for us!

Some of you may remember that some time back I asked for Flylady vibes for my mum's NDN's daughter. She left us today; she was only 29.

bossymoo

Oh valli that is beyond sad. How utterly utterly dreadful. Sympathies to her family and friends x

Has made me feel quite thoughtful, think I will go light a candle.
