Weekly Flylady Thread 1st October 2007

Somehow, I fixed the PC, so it's no longer tasking aaaggggeeessss to do every little thing! Yippee! Must remember to mention it casually (every few minutes) to DS1...:D

I haven't felt very enthusiatic for Flying today, but I have done the weekly shopping, and done Level One and a Half on each of the living room and master bedroom.

I was making some headway on the bedroom, before the exchange student arrived, and everything not wanted in the boys' bedroom was thrown into mine...Now I have to find the time and energy to relocate it again.

I had my ebay account suspended a while back because DS1 sold something regarded as dodgy. I've lost the form telling me about how to get it back - does anyone know how to do it? Or who to contact? Then, I can get rid of the small mountain of saleable stuff in the corner of the bedroom, and maybe get a bit of money together to redecorate it!

Off to pick up boys, and take DS2 to have a haircut. Enjoy the rest of the day everyone!

Afternoon, just got back from house, had to come back to collect the boys, wish I had a childminder on days like this

Done all but the oven off the before 3.15pm list, DP been helping with painting and filling holes so can't take all the credit. Instead of the oven I cleaned all the cupboards out so could unpack boxes, seemed sensible, and mean't I got out of doing the oven for now, forgot my gloves anyway Used my dishwasher for first time to clean all the new dinner service (all 36 pieces) and what a difference! Love it already

Once DS1 gets in going to pack more boxes for maybe an hour, pack the car with those, then go over to see how DP is getting on. After a closer look we need to paint sitting room aswell so he was on filling holes in that when I came away.

Been a change of plan, will be doing more than I thought tonight as hopefully we're borrowing the pick up to empty the shed. Managed to get all of the boxes I took over unpacked. Took my BM over as said sure we can manage on shop bought and what is in freezer for now, will save having to find time to use it, took slow cooker aswell.

Must remember to take bin bags, a radio (DP hates working with no music) pen and paper (to write combi boiler model number down as we can't figure how to use it)

Sorry have never made one yet keep saying I will but then something else comes up, or I forget to buy stuff for it

1kg one is 30 minutes according to Sainsburys http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/food/recipe/detail.htm?recipeid=683

Need bicarb aswell, must have a spare pot somewhere, because the fridge smells iffy

well done lil_me, you should be really proud of yourself!

i feel like i'm flitting between lots of different things and as a result haven't done anything much! i have had 2 meetings, and stocked up on clarins at the boots special offer. (it's my one treat to myself). thankfully i am in tonight which has to be a good thing! have still had a headache all day which is a bummer. the doctor did mention beta-blockers but i am not keen on the idea...

the plan now is to set the timer for 30 mins and do work and then for another 30 and do wedding stuff, and then another 30 and fly. by then i think i'll have had enough, though i should do some job application stuff this aft.

pigpen I've absolutely no idea...lol

Not done a thing since I last posted went round to OH's and duly fell asleep (so much for playing) - well he did have the heating on :rolleyes: woke up and come straight round home in time to let the kids in from school, then I've just sat here at the pc looking for christmas bargains ever since. I'm not even gonna pretend and say I'm gonna do it cause I'm not and I know it, no point kidding myself lol, anyway it's not all that bad.... can live with it for another week. Need to get the washing on the maiden though...

I'll be mum and line up the coffee's/tea's ready for those on breaks that are actually doing something today...

Hi all, not flown yet today. Done my exercise been to shops to get DS slippers and that is about it.

Going to make Eves Pudding now and get on with tea. Tomorrow I am here all day on my own so will really set to the flying/ebay listing etc. Think I'll do a list later.

Pigpen - about an hour 15 AGA time but doubt that helps

So why has mine been in the oven for about 3 hours and still not cooked???

I have actually done my pie, and washed up, emptied dishwasher, stacked some more stuff in and wanted to kill my eldest daughter....she's so half a*sed it drives me crazy!!!
If she just sit and watch inappropriate tv all day, she'd be in her element...and when you tell her to do anything......!!!!!!!!!
Going to make myself a coffee and clear the rest of my bed, so I can make it.
I've got about 20 mins till my friend gets here.....will probably catch you all later tonight, I'm starting to become a bit of a night owl.
