Weekly Flylady Thread 15th October 2007

lil_me

Evening all, anyone missed me? Guessed not. Well I have just tried and given up on catching up with all the posts since yesterday. So a big sloppy hug for everyone, unless you don't want one of course. Been so busy barely had chance to sit down so internet time been out of the question. Only online now as I've ran out of plaster (must get more tomorrow) so have had to stop what I had planned for tonight.

Final move day just days away, Sunday, so much left to do it's really starting to worry me but then again I know we've managed to move house in 24 hours before so it's just me being fussy as to how I want it done!

Good news little Matthew is now home for a week, because I still have this cold lingering on I haven't seen him yet but things seem to be going well and keeping in touch.

Been lots of calls aswell today, inc one to Argos who said they'd send the part which was wrong for DS1s bed as soon as it came in stock, well it's been in stock 5 days and they 'must have forgot' pleased I bugged DP to phone them! Megan went for her grooming today and she looks great.

Tomorrow will be much of the same, loads to do

lil_me-great news about little matthew and all the best for the last few days of getting stuff moved! i had noticed you were missing!but it was good practice and there might be other stuff coming up at the same place soonish. so it wasn't a wasted journey.

my meeting got cancelled tonight so OH (who is here early for the weekend) and i watched an inspector morse with a couple of beers each. he is taking the p*ss out of me for posting on here...

anyway, time for bed i think - it has been a long day!

Well I managed to do dishes before work (actually I cheated slightly and left them draining while I hopped in the shower) so it'll be nice and clean when I get in.

Freaky Friday- Bathroom and Study/Pc Area NOOOOO!!! :eek: Not the bathroom


Level One
Clean floors in these rooms
Level Two
Clean baths, toilets and sinks
Clear any clutter from desk
Dust PC and desk and wipe off those cup rings!!
Wipe keyboard, house phone, sockets, switches and mouse etc
Level Three
Wash your bathroom mats, nets, clean blind/curtains etc
Wipe down tiles in bathroom.. defragment your pc while doing this.
Delete 10 links in your favourites which you no longer use or are dead!
Clean shower screen/curtain if you have one/if required
Clear a mega hotspot!.. shred it.. and fling it.. or just burn it!
Extra mission:
Pick whichever you want to attempt:

• Wipe the skirtings, door and window frames in these rooms
• Empty and clean out all the upstairs bins! (the proper bins not the rooms that look like bins!)
• clean the radiators and woodwork in these rooms
• Get those uniforms, games kits, coats and things in the wash which you will need on Monday (or not if it is half term!!)

Deep Clean Challenge
Scrub down the dirty marks on the walls in these rooms, and any dirty marks on the walls. When did you last clean 'under the rim'? Get a mirror and check it out.. how gross??? Wash curtains/nets etc. When did you last replace the bath sponges & toothbrushes??

FRIDAY EXTRA - Don't forget your ME time this weekend, even if it's just a nice relaxing bath or going to the pub with Pigpen!! go on you deserve it

Oh well, I need to keep busy in the morning anyway, I finish at 6am and need to collect a letter from the post office at 10.30 (have to leave 24 hours before collecting now!) Then I need to go to bank to pay in the money thats in the letter!
So I think I'll head to Adsa straight from work, then take Shadow for a long walk in the woods (should be light by then). Check car tyres on way back from woods. Clean bathroom, then check oil etc in car as the engine should have cooled by then.
Then head to post office and bank. Then get home and SLEEP!!

Also...

Dishes
Brush dog
Walkies
Clean yard

Weekly Tasks:
[strike]Clean fish tank[/strike]
[strike]Do Meal Plan for the week[/strike] ~ Done for the rest of the month!!

To do list:
Wash and vacuum car. Check oil, tyre pressure etc.
Sort out the pile of [strike]junk[/strike] quality items that didn't sell at the boot sale.

Pigpen was he not even a little embarrassed about 'those' sheets? You got to get OH to tell him about the ''pinch it quick' method! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:save mum from cleaning icky sheets. or show him how the WM works. or buy him some tissues... Oh god, I have two boys, I'm so not changing their beds, they can do them themselves!!!

Nopoe.. I mentioned it and he grinned and said well I ran out of condoms!!!!

Honestly he has NO shame!!!!

Will someone please tell me their children are as awful as mine lol. Good job we have VERY broad minds in our family!

Lil_me.. that is fantastic news re. little Matthew.. let's hope he stays fit and well for the next op.. have they given them a date for him to have it done? Is the other little one ok that had the op a few days ago?

Isn't it funny how we are all so concerned over a little man we will most likely never ever meet!! Bless him.. hugs to his mummy and daddy.

S'pose I should go to bed.. before I eat something else!

Pigpen - I'd have him washing his own bedding, that's for sure!!! And if he's old enough to buy condoms, he's old enough to find some tissues if he's run out . . . Ewww!! LOL

Soaking in salt water for 30 mins makes blood stains easier to wash out.

Not that I've had much experience mind you...I'm not a serial killer or anything!! *insert manic wide-eyed grin*

Good morning everyone, sister landed last night so got nothing done but hubby did tidy the livingroom before he went to bed (he knows i'm starting to get a bit stressed), kitchen's not to bad, bedrooms aren't to bad so souldn't take to long. So glad it's bathroom today it's so bad, so i'd better get another load of washing on, fires lit for drying clothes.
Better go and get wee ones sorted for school.

Lil_me i'm so glad to hear matthew is home, great news.

Well since I clean the bathroom daily, and I only hoovered it etc yesterday while I was doing the bedrooms I'm a happy bunny I'm going to concentrate on paper & computer work, so I guess I am still doing something off the list :rotfl: Will also need to do the ironing, but first I need to dry off some more washing (fire on when I get back from school anyway judging by how cold I was yesterday!). Don't have to worry about "uniforms" as OH will be in "own clothes" next week with it being half-term and DD breaks up today as well So I'll sort uniforms on Tuesday when I'm next on my own and will have a washload

Ended up sitting playing scrabble and watching TV with OH last night. Pleasant change and his suggestion :eek: :rotfl: So dishes got left and the lunches weren't made either. Oh well, todays another day and I can clear it all up now.

Right, going to put tea dishes in the sink to soak (already filled it with hot soapy water) while I do the school run. Washing is already out on the line (cloths that were washed yesterday as I left them out overnight to save time ) and the towels are waiting for room on the line Looks like I might have a quite productive day today Laters :wave:
