lil_me you're doing amazing :T

tia they look lovely, very colourful. I was thinking about doing hampers this year but can't be bothered with the hassle, one present each is all everyone but the kids are getting lol.

I've done everything on my list except the bedrooms, they're just too scary to even contemplate and worse again when I looked at them lol. Will go back and cross everything off cause I like looking at crossed off things, the saddo that I am.

• change draw curtains for your winter set.. wash summer ones and put away.. or add linnigs to keep out draughts!
• [/STRIKE] N/A
• Change any bedding you didn't get chance to do over the week!
• [STRIKE]Meal plan for the next week and make a shopping list... based on what you found in the freezer and those things that need using from our Monday cupboard sweep [/STRIKE] Done last night, order coming Monday
• Make sure you have everything ready for school/work for this week.. pe kits, socks, homework done etc.

Ok, I suppose I do need to do something today...

Tidy..

Kitchen
Living Room
Hoover top of stairs (Snotbags (DS2) made a mess with polystyrene)
Kids room

Put clean washing away properly (not leave it sitting on the automan)
Wash MY car (hubby can do his own wee GT (gay turd))
Put a washing out to dry
Move christmas stuff upstairs (like where should I put it?)
Get Grotbags (DS1) new trainers and school bag

hehe, I bought my Dads horse, Connie, a bubble gum pink headcollar, Dad is going to go DAFT! But she suits it so much!

I am moving now, honest!

lil_me

**swipes the Green and Blacks from tiamai** hides in one of the empty boxes to stuff face**

Yes rach it was mentioned on Market Kitchen I think about Cadbury's now owning G&B, still tastes yummy tho!

Thanks for the encouragement, I'm now having my reward of a cuppa and a nosey on the internet, going to do this everytime I have a box filled, yes that means box number 3 is now done wish we didn't have so much stuff at times like this. Oh and I have flung a bag full in sheer protest of having too much stuff.

Off for a nosey, to finish my cuppa then on with box 4

*wonders where her G&B chocks are....*

:coffee: and grapes time :j

lil_me

Coffee time here too, and lunch, something I've been forgetting lately. Yes that means box 4 1/2 (1/2 is only small) is filled anything I can do without for 2 weeks is being boxed. Managed to clear my trolley I keep lots of kitchen/cleaning things on so that can go over aswell. Quite scary as I have took over 4 boxes of kitchen stuff already, there is this lot then more to pack. Hoping to have time this afternoon to take them over to the new house and unpack them then bring the boxes back, see if DP will look after the boys. I'll have 2 hours ish to fill car, travel 15 miles each way, unpack and bring boxes back, doable ish. One of those things when working with 10 packing boxes which is all I have managed to get so far, take stuff, unpack & bring box back means we'll hopefully live a little less 'out of boxes' than we have every other time we have moved.

:rotfl: giggles at gay turd comment, what G&B? **whistles innocently**:whistle: :whistle: :silenced:

Afternoon all

Two loads of washing hanging out but it's grey and dull today, not drying well at all.

Vacuumed through downstairs.

Rejigged my monthly budget and rewrote it in my "money book".

Sorted through Christmas drawer under bed, where I keep cards and paper (bought cheap last January of course), chucked away a few cards from years back that I know I will never send. Should have chucked them long ago:D But I've got plenty of cards and paper and tags so nothing to buy there.

Do you ever get days when you feel funny - like something bad is going to happen or something bad has happened but for a minute you've forgotten what it is? Or is that just me? Anyway, feel a bit like that. Not really depressed, just a bit butterfly-ey.

Might go through the larder in a minute sorting out. I don't think anything is out of date but I could do with seeing exactly what is in there. Loads of tins....

On my own today. DH has gone fishing. DD at work. Oldest DD called in earlier but she's gone out for the day now. DS has rung twice already though

OK, ten more minutes on here and then I'll do something. Might shake off this weird feeling.

Hi.
I hope u dont mind me latching on here..
I'd been planning on joining the Flylady website, but i was abit daunted with the frequency of emails i'd expect - then i saw this thread!!

Today is my first day - i've just put the water in the sink with bleach and shall spend that hour ebaying stuff before i go back and sort the sink out!!

Here's to eventually having a cleaner home..:cool:

Pollybear

You're very welcome BartGirl - it really does work but just take it steady to start with otherwise you get overtired and put off. The rooms come round every week so you gradually get things sorted and cleaned



Been in my larder - I've got 10 tins of tomato soup and 6 tins of other soup!!! *crosses soup of shopping list* But nothing out of date.

tiamai_d

Pollybear I get that every now and again. The last time was a few weeks ago when that woman ran infront of my car! hubby thinks I'm mad, but days like that, I stay home. I learned to trust that feeling years ago after far too many incidents.

But don't spend time worrying over it, if something is going to happen, there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Stay in with a nice cuppa and some telly.

Just a flying visit whilst waiting for paint to dry, no not nice paint on walls etc, a full tin of silk spilled all over my junk under the stairs, not today mind you LAST WEEK! at the time I just got the thick up chucked the top layer of junk in the garden then shut the door and left it thought it might have dried out by now but NOOOOOOOO!! So anyway emptied all under the stairs and cleaned it all out but can't restock it until it's dry. Found some things for eBay, some for the bin and some for the decorating cupboard (10 rolls of un-used wallpaper - different styles) didn't know I had them then all my Christmas palava and halloween decs (currently everywhere) will be living under there....yay organisation at last! :j

Think I'll have a brew.....

Pollybear yes I get that sometimes too, don't like it much x

welcome Bartgirl :hello:
