Weekly Flylady Thread 8th October 2007

Daisydoll

Just got back from a round trip to local tip(got rid of another box) charity shop (got rid of 2 boxes full) post office (to post ebay parcels) and tescos to get a few bits. Still haven't started the kitchen but have decluttered dining room which was worse anyway just need to mop floor in there and it's done. Will start kitchen later when kids are in bed. Just getting myself a cuppa then it will be time to go pick up dd1 from school. Still haven't made my bannana cake and no idea what I'm doing for tea, have some mince in fridge so maybe cottage pie?

I am done with the kitchen now and just off to sort out some eBay stuff.

I haven't confessed to my OH that I am being a Flylady although he was impressed when he got home from work yesterday.

So just wondered whether your OHs/kids know that you fly?

Not really! kids aren't interested and OH knows I have a daily list but not quite sure where it comes from lol - they'd all think I was mad if I told them I got them off some strange woman on the internet

Pollybear

Mine don't know I fly, don't care either as far as I can tell - they don't seem to notice whatever I do.

My DH and Dks tease me about it endlessly although my DH is very grateful and even more so for this thread. My DS1 recieved a xmas card from a DD of another wanabee flybaby saying "death to flylady" - due to bedroon tidying we assume!

:rotfl: :T fab!

I think it was February that I joined this thread and I have to say I've changed alot, I'm clean, organised (most of the time) and becoming a pretty good cook with not one ready meal in sight. I will always be grateful for Flylady AKA you lot :T
