Weekly Flylady Thread 27th August 2007

rach

well have put the washing away and stripped the spare bed. also went though about 1/3 of the paper mountain on my desk to find something OH needed. he is now staying til 8 to watch the cricket so i will do some flying while he's watching it. very worryingly can't find my passport, though i had it a couple of months ago when we went to ireland so it can't be far away/ go to spain mid sept so better seek it out!

I went to the freezer for dinner and there was nothing in it!!! It is bare!!! So I rummaged about and we ended up with tuna pasta with salad.. It's a good job I am resourceful lol Then it is bedtime!! woohoo!!!

Must bath dd2 though.

Tomorrows lists up, I've officially blitzed the kitchen goodness my hands are paying for it being in water so much.

Done the BBQ shop, wiped Tesco out of bread rolls :rotfl: Have had to just put them in one of the cars, just no space for over 100 buns in my kitchen! I had to rearrange the fridge completely to fit all the meat in. So pleased I bought a bigger fridge as I wouldn't have even got it in the last one. Just the kebabs etc to make in the morning then pack the car before we go. Going to have to take 2 cars tomorrow night to get everything in we need to take. The list will be up very early tomorrow as we need to leave very early to get set up. Gazebo looks like it'll be a must as after a lovely day today it's now pouring down!

Right, I best go check through my list, see what I still need to get done and kick the boys to bed at 8pm (need to get them into back to school times)

Well done Becca. :j Another chuffed person all I have from my list is 2 things, tidy living room and assignment work which I haven't even touched. Off to fold laundry (managed to get todays loads dry before tipped it down) and put the boys things into a box for them to take up when they go to bed.

Evening All

DH has done a carboot today so we all went to him later on - we've made £50 so that was good but then I spent £20 on a load of Animal Hospital toys which I've put up for Christmas.

Not done a lot else today as that took up most of the day. DH back at work tomorrow so will probably get more done but must go to the bank and the library.

How do you explain to a man that the reason his DD doesn't do as he asks him is because she still gets into trouble when she does. DH asked DD to put away a game she had finished playing with but she didn't want to do it on her own as DS was upstairs and he had been playing with it as well so she said no. He insisted so she put it away but with an attitude (she's 5). He then sent her to the naughty step when she'd finished because she didn't put them away nicely! I tried to explain to him that she'd done as she was told but was still punished so why should she do it in the first place but he just thinks I'm getting at him.

Anyway, catch you later or tomorrow.

Update on car - apparently someone else on our street had their car stolen on Wednesday evening and when they couldn't start it they pushed it around the corner to the pub car park and set fire to it, so i think i have been lucky.

Good evening all,

I didn’t manage any flying today as we took advantage of the good weather and it being a bank holiday, kids still had school so we emptied out the garage and gave it a good clear out – numerous trips to the tip and charity shops – its looking lovely now although we still wouldn’t manage to fit a car in.
