Weekly Flylady Thread 11th July 2016

bossymoo

Having a quiet half hour here - making reward charts - DD cried this morning saying she felt always wrong, bless her. I thought a chart might help her see the good, and also prompt a bit more of it. The tiredness is really getting to her...

Wash done and generally keeping on top of things here

Me again

Really pleased with what I have achieved today. All washing done and put away, and both ebay items sold so £64 better off than I was this morning! Result! Kiddies are having a picnic tea, TBH I am surprised DS is having anything, I think he cut a back tooth this afternoon, he was inconsolable for about an hour and had his hand in his mouth and streaming nose. At last check he had 17 teeth so just 3 more of the bleeders to come through.

I have meal planned for next week and done a shopping list. Determined to keep our spends for next week below £100, I will track my progress in my Flylady posts if no-one minds

Right, nearly bath and bedtime for the smalls, then cheesy pasta with a glass of rose for me. DH not due back til late and will probably have eaten on the way home.

Bossy - bless DD, I hope she is smiling now
CY - Hope you've had a fab day

Have lovely evenings all xx

Well done atb :T That's an impressive list compared to mine. I hope your DS feels better in the morning.

Since breakfast I have decluttered more sleep, arranged a beautiful bouquet from the Old Wives, done WMx1, started sorting out the church Gift Aid records and prepared lunch.
Since lunch I have decluttered even more sleep, sorted out more of the church Gift Aid records and let DH get on with cooking gammon and chips with salad for our evening meal.
This evening I expect to sort out even more of the church Gift Aid records, possibly watch some TV and then fall into bed for more sleep.
At least I feel that I have achieved something useful.

Bossy, I'm certain your DD will fill up her rewards chart very quickly How did she get on in the new dance class?

Looks like the weather held fair for The Wedding today. We are promised a heatwave tomorrow

We've had a glorious afternoon here and CY isn't a million miles away. Hope they've all had a wonderful day...

DD has been much brighter, and loved new class with the big girls, thanks for asking We also made a planner for the summer and put in our plans so far. She's read some Enid Blyton to me tonight, bless her - she managed about 3 pages which is brilliant for such small text - she ran out of steam after that.

Laundry brought in and folded - not sure it's properly dry. DS sorted his [STRIKE]mess[/STRIKE] airport in the conservatory and we built the marble run. They even tidied that after!

No big jobs done but general dailies etc and I think I'll be in bed in an hour! Yawn!

Good Morning All

Was up loads in the night with DS - poor lamb dropped the iPad on his toe just before bed and it was bleeding really badly :eek: he seems ok this morning so I'll just keep an eye on it and top him up with pain relief if needs be. There's always something with that lad!

Off to hospital this morning, DH staying at home with the smalls. After that we plan a lazy day, yesterday's activities took it out of me! So PJs and a film I think (no doubt a Disney pixar one!)

I'm already on with the dailies - WM on and I've WUDUPA. Going to slurp this tea then dress the kiddies.

Have peaceful Sundays all x

Morning all. Was up at silly o'clock (2.30am to be precise) with LittleyDog, so when DH took over dog duties at 7am, I went back to bed and have only just got up and had breakfast.

We are both feeling tired today, so will just potter and go out for a meal later if we feel like it.

Have a great day everyone.

Hola!

We are just heading out to football with a reluctant DS, his knee has a support bandage on, plus shin pads and so on. Considering knee and elbow pads too

They are asking to go to a farm at the other side of town later but I think we'll be pushed for time, and we could really use another rest afternoon. I'll not mention it haha maybe they'll forget. Want to cook a proper dinner, too.

I have a wash out on the line, and I'm just going to make a coffee to go, and get the picnic blanket out.

We have sunscreen on this morning!!!
