Weekly Flylady Thread 27th August 2007

pigpen

Rach.. Your motivation must have eloped with mine.. I'm getting the timer out too.. I use songs as motivators.. one song of flinging, one song of wiping, one song of picking up/putting in proper places etc..

I've had prawns, 2 jam tarts and a chocolate mousse for lunch.. see.. balanced diet!!! And 2 cuppas!

pigpen

I've sent ebay nagging for payments.. I have 3 not yet paid, and 2 that have said they are posting payments 5 days after the auctions end.. if people are waiting to be paid why don't they just say so??? I find it most irritating!

AHA... reply from one.. just the other to cough up now lol!!

Pigpen oh I've found prawns gone off in the fridge where I used to work, they honk don't they, at least you found it!

BBQ Fun!!! I wish :rotfl: well it should be good once it's going, just all the work involved, haven't stopped since I got up and more to do. We've done it to promote the RC club DP has took over, which has worked well as advertising it we've gone from 3-4 members racing a week to 15 last week people coming along before the BBQ to have a look etc. Got 25+ booked in tonight.

So far this morning I have

Cleaned bath, loo and sink
Cleared kitchen bench so had space
Scrubbed George within an inch of his life (taking it as back up for cooking)
Chopped 12 peppers
peeled and chopped 60 mushrooms
chopped 5 onions
Stabbed 80 sausages
2 iceberg lettuce chopped
10 tomatoes sliced
Wrapped trays in cling film (so can remove it and reuse for cooked food once wiped over with anti bac cloth)
Argued with DP that I did get the food from freezer out yesterday morning but it's still frozen so new oven to the rescue again
Cleaned BBQ
Found BBQ tools, they took some finding

I still need to -

Make chicken kebabs (chicken defrosting now)
Pack car inc BBQ, food etc
Tidy and vacuum living room (dusting done)

I've chased some phone calls dealt with DD4 who decided the minute the phone was answered the other end was a great time to scream hysterically for no apparent reason!!!

I've sorted my bills and prioritised payments for this week and up to December.. the later ones are subject to change but they are there all the same. I've even allocated amounts for christmas presents how sad is that??

I'm making a list of christmas jobs I wan't to do.. like making christmas cakes, making bits for the house to make it warmer and hopefully lower my bills and I've arranged a review of the quote for a new boiler from British Gas.. and another quote from electric co. so all is looking up!! I WILL be warmer and less skint this winter!!

Glad none of you are doing great. I have now hoovered the kitchen family room and hall floors but got no further. I'm freezing too - just put another top on. Kettle is on so once I have tea I am finishing my desk and mopping the floors.

well done, pigpen.

i've just remembered i need to go to M&S later as there's 20% off home stuff and we need to add to the glasses we were bought for engagement (with the vouchers we have, thankfully). still, its open til 10pm so no excuse for not flying!

Just tackling the paperwork that is taking over the desk again It seems that no matter how often I file papers there's always more appearing within 24 hours and it's not all post either :mad:

Penultimate (sp?) wash load in - just need to do cleaning cloths & towels next DD is currently dusting her room apparently :rolleyes: I need to see what we can have for tea, AND I'm in the mood to get the ironing done today Can someone send a doctor round I think I'm coming down with something, preferbly one who looks like David Boreanaz and is single

Don't know whats up with me today but I'm feeling great, confident & glad I'm single I haven't felt this good about myself for weeks, if not months. I wonder if it will get even better when DD is back at school and I can start shifting some of this weight and improve my diet? Don't tell anyone, but I'm planning on dropping at least 1 dress size (preferbly 2) by Christmas as I plan to party this year like I'm 21 instead of 28 :T
No pressure from family, no interfering from well meaning family and more importantly I'm ready to grab change by the horns (being polite here but that wasn't what I was going to put :silenced:) and make it boogie with me till it can't carry on anymore :dance::j:dance::j:dance:

Right, best get on! :wave:
