Weekly Flylady Thread 18th January 2016

I'm going to give it a go this week. It has been about 6 or 7 years since I last joined in as DH has been full-time parent and house husband. Today he started a new job and I am back to looking after the children again. I must say I am a little out of practice and amazed we managed to get everyone washed, dressed, fed and out of the house in time today. Must remember to iron uniforms on a Sunday.

Wish me luck

pigpen

so, do I sit and make bunny tails or do I get dressed and make a start on the mess???

OH packed off to college so just me and Pixie, she has nursery rhymes on the ipad so is slobbed on the chair singing.

I have a busy week of house stuff as well as paid stuff to do this week. DD is going away Friday night, and I have plans this weekend until she gets back Sunday afternoon so I want the house clean, laundry up to date and no paid stuff pending so I can have a guilt free weekend off.;) Lots of things rolling over from previous lists which I want done.

I seem to have got my mojo back (well, to an extent) and I now realise how much I have let slip! (queen of procrastination, me!) so I am in the process of getting up-to-date with paperwork. I'm also working on the physical book stash; the plan is to read then send to charity. I have also thrown more books from my childhood.

Cleared my bedroom, which is better, as it tends to be a dumping ground. I now have a bag of electrical bit for recyling including a large radio/Cd/cassette player. radio works, but aerial broke off, CD player doesn't. I was using it in my BR but I have a transistor (which i can take into the bathroom when I am in the shower) and a clock radio so what was the point?

1 x DW, 1 x Wm and 1 x TD.

Going to iron.

All the snow has vanished and the threatened frost/ice didn't appear.

Where ARE my manners? many thanks for the thread, good luck at the horse piddle LW and finger crossed for Cycling.

I'm in please but have got to be in work today so will catch up later. Just back from ds2 retainer check.

Thank you for the thread

Narco- I love fitness pal! It really works for me! Knowing I can have treats as long as I work it off or be really good! It seems to work long term and helps when you have friends on there too! I have used it after both ds1 and ds2 were born so plan to use it again after thus one! My cousin can't wait as we were helping each other and when I found out I was pregnant she found it hard without me checking up on her all the time!
CY- hope everything goes ok at the hospital.
Pigpen- it's been sat there two weeks. I will be very careful! I promise.

It seems strange being in the house on my own. Ds1 at school and ds2 at nursery until 3!! I have been catching up with emails and just made myself a cuppa. I have an an hour and a half before my massage so going to crack on with some paid stuff!

Morning all. I'm in thanks for the lists natty ans last week bossy.

JJ hope Dh gets let out today.

Dizzy you are entitled to shout and yell. You've been incredibly strong x

CY hope today's appointments go ok.

Overslept today Grrr. I never do that. Oh well managed to get everyone out of house on time. Dd2 has her first wobbly teeth and they are hurting her. Poor pook.

Have already done aldeee and Mr m it's morning. Just getting motivated to put it all away.

Just gonna stick a load in the machine and empty dishwasher I think. ... will report back.... x

Thinking of you today CY x

Back from vets - Pip still can't have booster jabs due to steroids in her system so they've given me some anti itch tablets for her to try and then once steroids are lower she can have her boosters. Popped into CS on way back and got a really nice Superdry jacket for Z for £6.99 and some genuine Levis jeans for me for £6.99 so thought that was pretty good.

Having a cuppa and am then going into the kitchen to do what I can. Got a load of washing on which should soon finish and then I'll get the next lot in the basket ready for tomorrow. I don't have a TD so can't really do more than 1 load a day unless it's summertime!

By the way, went to my old house on Saturday as tenants moving out - there's no way we could go back there as it's even smaller than I remember and just wouldn't work out so it's going on the market in about April. I'm tidying/decluttering what I can here and will keep doing so. Our Focus headlamp bulb had blown so he replaced it and pointedly said "this is from all the rubbish I keep". So I replied yes, that's great but that's something useful - unlike most of the stuff. Oh, happy days!

pigpen

Well I'm dressed.. I guess that's a start!
