Weekly Flylady Thread 11th May 2015

pigpen

Well I was going to go to Dunelm today while Miss pesty pants is at nursery but I have an unhappy tummy and as I would have Pixie with me and the toilets are disgusting I'm staying home and will go next week or we will all go tomorrow

I need to pop to drs after the school run to sign Dots referral.

Eck, time is marching on and I've not done as much as I hoped here. About to review one piece of paid stuff with boss man so just shoved a wash on before I call him.

Tonight I need to clear the garage so the smart meter man from the utilities can get to my boiler - shouldn't be a big job but you never know with these things.

Promised the kiddies I'd be finished with work and not do any jobs - DD swim night has moved so Wed is our free night designated play time!

Better crack on!

And if Flyladies are all marrying their own postmen, do we have to form a Virtual Flylady Guard of Honour for the exit, holding up brown paper packages tied up with string?

Oooh I would love to marry my postman, he's a darling and easy on the eye too. He has even got round to calling me by my first name now we are that friendly ...that's because I am "unofficial" drop off point for parcels in the close.. Well he normally asks me nicely if I don't mind taking them in, I'm normally at home when he does his round so he knows that he doesn't have to take the parcels back

I can't believe the morning has disappeared already. I have done absolutely nothing apart from the morning school run and a tea towel boil wash. I did have breakfast too, and piled up the washing up neatly to be washed later, oh and made the bed too Plus I haven't got dressed yet, apart from slinging on something to run nieces to school this morning... I have to have a shower, iron my dress and hang the washing out. I then have to pick the nieces up at various times from their school..

How do mothers do this all the time, driving their little darlings to and from all the time. I'm shattered and I have another 2 or more weeks to do.

I think I'm going to have a mass clean during half term as I won't be driving them to school that week. Although I think I have the 15yr old niece staying with me for a week, if not longer, then.

No we don't.. I don't have a surname at the moment I can use my dads or KHs.. I want one that doesn't insult me to use.. I don't like my dad and I like KH even less..

I deffo wouldn't marry my postie - he can't read, judging from the amount of incorrectly delivered mail we get around here.:eek:
When I divorced my own wretched KH, I was going to change my name by deed poll - there was no way I was going back to my maiden name - but as Mr LW were getting married three months later anyway, it wasn't worth the bother. Had I actually gone the deed poll route, I'd have had LameWolf as my last name! Honestly.:o

I need to make the lemming cake I deferred from yesterday (thanks again for the recipe Valli); I shall also make an apple crumble, as I can cook them both together.;)

I'm feeling quite ill after seeing that, Pigpen.



Welcome MavvyMoo! To be honest it sounds like way too much to me and I'd lose heart and give up quite quickly if I tried to do that much. When I started I did the lists for a week and that pretty much transformed the way the house looked. I've been nibbling away at the underlying chaos ever since, but if you've Kondo'd a lot of that has probably already been resolved.

Must do floors today.

Thank you sounds like a plan Yes I have Kondo'd an awful lot so its going to be a lot easier without the moving stuff around and trying to find a home for it Will start on the lists and hopefully see the transformation in a week or so.

Back from a full day at work so will be falling asleep later.
Normal hours tomorrow, but I'm hopefully going in with the trimmings to decorate the tree after school that will be volunteer hours as its a charity wear pink day Friday so I want to ideally do the tree before then so it looks nice when the kids go in.
Eww pigpen that's put me off wetabix for a while.
Hope everyone is well.
Just going to see what I can achieve as well as pepping food before DH gets home.

Hiya everyone sorry haven't posted yet this week, been mad busy on Sunday we had the bathroom plastered (cleaned bathroom) the dust goes everywhere, my eldest is off with tonsillitis and Monday I was at college and Tuesday and Wednesday I've been on placement. I've cooked big meals each night, washed up, done washload a day and swished and swiped. Dh hoovered through. Today was day from hell I was late as bus didn't turn up went to get my phone to phone work and dropped it on the concrete then realised a bird had got me. What a nightmare! Tomorrow I have tons to do plus homework. X

Early night for you, then, dawn rose - if you're safely in bed, nothing else awful can happen.;) Have a better day tomorrow.:o
