Weekly Flylady Thread 27th April 2015

Valli

It was lashing down this morning - but the rain stopped, the sun came out and I

pegged out 2 loads
cleaned out the bunny
made lasagne
cleaned the cat litter tray
5 minutes prior to dishing up time I decided, as it was looking darker over there *points* to bring the washing in
Sure enough - it rained again
Lasagne was yummy

Oh Piggers - what a mess...

Bossy ((hugs))

dancemum

Sorry I haven't been posting much.

Ironing done
Pan cupboard emptied, cleaned and unwanted items shared between recycling tip and charity box

Ds1 changed his bed so that is all laundered

Plate, kitchen gadget and pop cupboard emptied, cleaned and edited to put away juicer (returned from parents' house).

Twinks made (half have been scoffed already)

Mr T and Mr bargains visited

Raining cats and dogs day here has just ended. Not sure for how long. I want to go for a walk but am doing a roast and ds2 needs dunking in the bath.

We are struggling to do all the OT homework. Ds2 refused to use his cutlery and was about to launch a small table across the room.

Lots of wudupa done

My diet isn't going very well

LameWolf

Bossy (((HUGS))) my friend.

Gentle cuddle for OldDog

Progress - kitchen ceiling and walls have been suitably washed with sugar-soap; you wouldn't believe how much dirt came off *hangs head in shame*.
Mr LW is talking about introducing ceiling to paint tomorrow; we'll see if he's as enthusiastic when tomorrow arrives.

I've also made veggie toad in the hole (today's dins), cheese, Qu0rn, onion & tomato quiche (dins for tomorrow & Tuesday) and carrot'n'orange cake (cake box was full of no cake).

Must go - got 2 [STRIKE]Flannels[/STRIKE] Spaniels wanting yet another walk.:o

New shoes purchased and trainers for DS3. his old ones will be straight in shoe recycling. Need to break mine in a bit but they will be fine.

Time to do dinner and then another hour on paperwork and shirts to iron.

Anybody fancy having a turn of the flylady list for next week? Or taking over? I feel I'm getting a bit stale with it.

bossymoo

Aww dusty you've done your time, so to speak. I'd be happy to help out, but I'm not sure if it's a bit short notice for this week? Having just checked over all my "to do" list for this week I'm not looking as hectic as recent weeks - is it something one of us could pick up quite quIckly? X

We've been out this afternoon for our camp planning session. Lots organised and it should be a fab day. Fingers crossed the weather will be kind. Kiddies are currently playing with aquabots in the bath - a fish and a mermaid. I've tidied up after Sunday lunch and supper, so we're not too bad here. Means we can make the most of the promised weather and get in the garden tomorrow...

Early night tonight - shopping coming early, only slot they had left, lol

I'm not in the position to take over but I'm sure someone will.

Just cooking dinner now, will start again after

kazwookie

:wave: going the other way

Right, I have awarded myself the next 2 afternoons off, for total me time, and I don't care if things don't get done.

1. Bossy, hugs to you and your family
2. Piggers OMG, as stated relocate the boxes or relocate the pinks
3. Dusty sorry but I cannot take over, I simply don't have the time, I think I lasted 2 weeks last time I did.......
For next week, can we just find a list from 3 years ago or so, and just re used that, it would take the pressure off for the coming week.

4. The daily stuff has been done, a routine I am in, I just don't post about it.
5. WM is on
6. Work is done, still don't like my new manager.............but then it seems no one else does either...................looked at web for other job, but there currently is nothing there, so I'll keep looking, and keep work at a job I love but with a manager who is crp, IMO
7. Dinner done
8. Injured person is on the move tomorrow to else where in the world, his arm is sort of 60% better etc.

Hugs
I am sure I have missed something.

bossymoo

I hope I've done it right!

NEW THREAD

Biscuit_monster

Hi,

Lazy day, not much done apart from very basic daily stuff.

On the plus side:

Bought paint to finish stairs
Walked dog and did a bit of jogging so have now earned the leftover cake from yesterday.
Downloaded the Kondo book and have done our underwear drawers. Oooooo lots of space now in drawers. OH thinks I have gone mad.

Dusty I am too scared to offer any help with list just yet, I'm a bit new, but it was a good suggestion to just post an old one. Oooo just seen new thread, cool.
