Weekly Flylady Thread 20th August 2007

JillD_2

right, am up to date on everyone's weekends LOL

Bump update - my tummy button, for the first time EVER, is almost an outy Its so weird. Baby is dancing on my bladder and pushing the contents of my stomach into my mouth all the time, the heart burn is yuck.
I can feel limbs under my ribcages all the time, and I am having LOADS of braxton hicks :eek: I know they don't mean anything really but its freaking me out!!! All fine though I think.

Oh yeah will give you all a laugh.
Was telling hubby I had a list of things for him to do and went to get laptop. He saw me opening MSE and said "oh does MSE have a list manager ?" so I said "No, I just keep my list updated on the MSE flylady thread" and showed him my last post with list for him on it. He was horrified :rotfl: "what, you keep a public list of all the things I have done ????" yeah more like the things you havent done mate :rotfl: :rotfl: I did then show him my mega list of all the things I have to do and the fact that the weekend list had 20 things for me and 7 for him and that seemed to make him feel a bit better

Ours has been a good day today, although I was promised a lie in, I woke up with kids at 8 and felt a bit sicky and hungry (nothing new there then) and achy (nor there) so I decided to let hubs lie in and I got up with kids. I did think I'd be back to bed an hour later but amazingly I found bucket loads of energy and got tons done! Cleared up loads of the garage including sweeping and hoovering. I finally got the double buggy cleaned up and the fabric bits back on, and I did the same thing for the single buggy that our car seat clips onto.

I had lots of fun putting all my noce recipes in a folder, all stuck in nicely and then in clear pocket sleeve things. I did a washing/drying and got the dishwasher emptied as we didnt do it last night with being out. Managed to harrass hubby into doing loads of stuff which then inspired him to board the rest of the loft cue family trip to B&Q LOL

Not much else, but I did mean to do an online shop and yet again didn't get round to it. MUST do it tomorrow. In fact I will go and grab my last Asda receipt and enter details now so I can choose from it tomorrow hopefully. Then I am going to bed. Starting tomorrow I am setting an alarm in the morning so we can get uwsed to getting up early for school gradually. My 2 are great for getting up late in the mornings and the culture shock is going to be huge if we dont do it this way.

Argh reading through your list JillD that's something I've forgot, name pen/labels, oh poop!! I've packed gym bags etc aswell without naming them up which is vital as DS1s school will be washing his. Oh bother bother bother!!! Best sort something.

Also Hello to JillD's hubby and yes we are your worst nightmare, women with mops and brooms ready to 'shake' them at you if you don't keep up :rotfl:

pigpen - thank god someone else knows what I mean about the tiredness getting better after delivery. Hubby keeps reminding me of this as I have said it both times before. Hope dingbats thumb (and nose) survive.
So you know all your Ebay stuff - is it just stiff you are shifting from your house or do you buy stuff to sell on ? I am always amazed by how many parcels you are sending! If its stuff you are shifting you must be making loads of space at home!!

His thumb and nose are fine thank you! lol

It is all just stuff from in the house.. I've actually got a few boxes unpacked from when we moved!!! The house is gradually becoming less full!!!

Pigpen, swipe that hotspot into a box or something it's hurting my eyes :rotfl:

I can't.. lol.. it is all those 'vital' bits.. like DS2's IEPs/Ed. Psyche reports, my school governor stuff and school photos and other such necessary gibble.. It will be sorted.. eventually.. it's on my list!!

lil_me

Pigpen - Oh one of those, I have one of those hotspots too, on my mission list for tomorrow as recently moved to my room making it look orrible! Maybe a file thing, those cardboard ones I'm going to use for mine. The 'need to access so don't file it' stuff, was the best way I could think of describing it.

I wonder where LJD1 is, don't think she mentioned going away etc, hope everythings ok as not seen her online for a few days.

pigpen

I have 2 box files.. they are full!!!!! Need to scrounge more lol I did have 3 but the children nicked one... good job I hadn't paid for them or I'd have been most grumpy!

WM's both on again.. I NEED decent drying weather tomorrow as I have 4 loads of washing to get dry and the TD is simply not up to the job!! My airer is full, my radiators are full and I have 2 loads of jeans to get dry before we go away!!

I have a half filled ebay parcel on my pc desk as well.. most unsightly... and shall be dealt with promptly in the morning!!!!

pigpen

Mondays list... Think Ib have done the easy bits already... off to bed now and will set to in the morning.. bright and reasonably early and my back WILL be better!!!

Dailies

WM .. Done 4 so just got bedsheets (that's 3 loads!) and 1 mound on the kitchen floor
DW .. unloaded for the 4th time today and reloaded with the last few bits from today

Pigpen when the kids go back drop a subtle hint that you could do with a few files for gov stuff when at the school, do they have any old ones as you prefer to recycle, I did this and HT said oh were getting rid of a few this week and gave me 10. They were just going to bin them! Hope your back is better in the morning!

admittedly some are still waiting to be filled hence the paperwork sort

Miss_Cinnabon

I failed Flylady miserably last week and as punishment the cobweb critter has been around left evidence of a cobweb party.
How do they get there ? Never had this problem living in London, yet in Dorset it's like something from Miss Havisham's house in days.
Anyway enough of my moaning - determind to succeed this week.

Mum_of_many_4

I am in again this week. Spent yesterday stripping the living room wallpaper so today we will have to crack on with painting. Will do my best with the list though. Right be back later when I am actually fed/dressed.
