Weekly Flylady Thread 29th May 2017

Fayolle

Evening everyone.

DH out and DD at a sleepover, so I am home alone and have just done 2 x MAD 30 minutes on paperwork to make up for missing yesterday's garden session. The garden is still a mess and the bathroom still not cleaned, but the paperwork is looking more under control. It really helped putting the timer on - focussed the mind! I'm now rewarding myself with an episode of Gardener's World - actually just so that I can see Nigel

Well - I would just like to say thank you all for joining in with the MAD half hours; I hope they've been productive and spurred you on, which is the point of our thread, really.

Have a lovely weekend all

Morning all

Up and at 'em today. Two loads of washing on the line already, all of us fed and watered, just need to put some make-up on then we are going to the local town for a charity shop mooch. I always want to pop into Fultons for some ice lollies.

Then home for lunch, and picking best friend up at 2.45 to go to a little outdoor party a local pub is having. Games for kiddies etc then going to in-laws for dinner.

It is lovely and sunny here - makes such a difference I think.

Have fab days all xx

I've really minded not being able to join in with the MADs this week, but we're still frantically busy. Back to normal at the end of next week because we're both exhausted.

I managed to wash the kitchen floor last night and I've got the WM twirling. Almost keeping up.

Morning,

Lots achieved this morning, including checking over finances and taking meter readings etc.

Washing is out in the sunshine, piggies are out in the sunshine, DD is at ballet and DS is sat at my desk with a snack.

I have loads of laundry around too, I've sorted into piles as to who they belong to. Later today I'll tidy the conservatory, and sweep. Seem to have a hay explosion in there.

Hopefully kiddies will be outdoors most of the day and ready for a good sleep tonight, bedtimes have been erratic this week...

Going to weigh and measure the kids too - DD especially is getting too big! Had to ask her dance teacher if she had any size 1 pumps this morning... :eek:

As I've been using the MAD half-hours to deal with my Frogs, does that make me mad as a box of frogs??:rotfl:
I'll get my coat......

Mr LW finished off the grass by cutting the front lawn this morning (I was simply too shattered to do it yesterday after doing the back); I've washed the bedlinen as always on a Saturday, and also done another WM load so that we don't come home to a binful of washing as well as the holiday washing. Hopefully it'll all dry outside.

My anxiety levels are sky-high today; this always happens when we're about to go on holiday, but this year I'm seriously in danger of losing it completely. Oh well, I dare say I shall survive; I wish I knew how to cope with this though, after all, holidays are supposed to be good things, right?

Phew! Been chopping at trees and hauling branches around. It was on my to do list but had a letter from the electricity board saying it was too close to the street light and would I cut it back or shall they do it :eek:

Anyway the light now has clearance around it, but it's still a reasonable shape rather than hacked by someone who doesn't have to see it every day...

Kids have painted outside, pics currently flapping on my washing line lol. I'm just having 10 minutes peace

Today's laundry is sorted into piles and we'll have a marathon putting away session tonight, and baths I think.

I have cleaned the kitchen top half.. DW run 4 times and then did a superwash cycle.. hoping it makes less noise!
I have bought tesco.. the shop, it all fit in 1 trolley, and in the boot of the car.
Cooked dinner, hung out laundry, bossed OH mercilessly.. so grass cut (he was doing that anyway) tools out to the shed, baby fed, shifting and carrying all his task..

Tonight I have about 400 loads of laundry to fold ready to go away tomorrow and OH has a baby to entertain and a dw to load and a BBQ to clean..

My life is so exciting I could fall asleep.

OOH I sent a snotty email too.. Lovely company, infuriating appliance!!
