Weekly Flylady Thread 17th September 2007

Ok, the rain just came on suddenly, so not worth doing any more loads as I will not get it dry.

Going to try for a 'clean cycle' then.

We bought our sofas as our 'treat' when hubby got his redundancy money, the rest went on paying off all our debt. Monster is terrible for drawing on anything, his big brother drew on the wall ONCE, and it was tiny, this one is just evil. Walls, the front door, the sofa, the floor, his bed, PC desk, PC, clothes, himself, you name, hes drew on it! And thats with me hiding the pens! Hes sneaky though, he grabs a pen and hides it... honest, hes a demon child and I need therapy!

Never mind, its getting sorted, my list is done, just to go into town, so will go get the Monster up, give him a sandwich while I get ready.

Good luck everyone!

Scrubs PigPens floors clean with a fiber cloth and white vinegar mix. I am good at floors, thats why people call me 'scrubber'

I am obviously not as organised and hard working as you!! and not as quick.. Chicken coop?? more like a hell hole!!!

Becca is at work right now, will check when she comes in later
Better getting that ironing done then....

I've just been in the kitchen - there is a pile of dishes, I can't see ANY of the surfaces, there are still remnants of yesterday's party on the floor.

Where do I start?

Can I just ignore it and hope it'll go away?

Thought I would check in now LO is asleep! Getting through the list - slowly!!

Not doing floor until later as we are baking when DD1 comes home from school so would be a waste of time!

Will do ironing and ebay once LO is in bed this evening

Got to nip to Tesco when he wakes and find something for tea - had planned omellette but need the eggs for baking now!

Happy flying all xx

I decided I'd put the washing on the line first - I've put 3 things out and it starts to rain - so I took them to the TD - opened the door and it's still full! Luckily the clothes are dry - I obviously didn't want to add anymore to my ironing pile!

embb... that's not bad.. I have 51p in one account and 49p in the other.. I even considered moving 1p over so both accounts had 50p in!!!!!

Juliejim.. pick a corner and start there.. it'll soon be gone once you start!!!

Tia.. I have 2 scribblers and they manage to pull pens out of thin air I'm sure!! I keep painting over it all but they just do it again.. peeing in the wind springs to mind.. until they outgrow it.. one of mine writes her name and says someone else did it!!! lol

My table is covered in piles of clean laundry waiting to be put away.. the rain looks imminent here too..

I've got the paint out for the boys room and the loo so I may head up there after having something to eat and a cuppa.. I aren't particularly hungry but if I eat now I won't be ravenous at tea time and won't snack all night.. in theory!

Gonna go and get the hoover out then mop the kitchen floor

Afternoon all

Serena hugs to you sweetie

Trying a new flying plan this week to try to keep me on track. I have decided that there is no need to do level 3 every week now that I know things arn't too bad. For me flying needs to be about keeping the house in order but not spending every minute I am at home flying so I will do dalies everyday (approx 30 minutes) and then 1 hour ish flying in the correct room/s. On the days I have more time or am in the mood I will do to level 3 and on the others I will do what I can.

Have done my hour exercise, had my haircut and hoovered the kitchen floor. I have one hour until a meeting at school so to the kitchen and the kettle.
