Weekly Flylady Thread 5th November 2007

lil_me

Confession time, I just looked at the windows in the living room, icky, not nice, didn't do them today and can tell, then I spotted the conservatory and dining room doors, both doubles, and double dog snot and horrid hand prints all over them, yak, windows and doors on tomorrows mission list, after I get back from taking DP to get his tattoo done. Or do I get off my bum and do them now

Today is a rest day.
Spent the weekend in bed with a sore throat/cough but it wasn't my M.E. flaring up which is good.
Although I am very limited in my "flying" I printed out the list and put it on the fridge. My husband (bless his cotton socks) has started to do the list... without my asking. As a result the light fittings don't have dead flies in them!

Hi, I just spotted your post. I have ME too and FMS so I really understand how you have to rest. I wouldn't get any flying done without this site. Good luck. My family are great at picking up the list and doing something. I also find that picking just one or two levels from the list helps my self esteem that I CAN do some of these things.

Deep Clean Challenge
Did this last week!

Also, washing over radiators (see, the TD has not made me lazy! I had a nightmare this nap time that it collapsed though... and that our horse had her cheeks bitten off, naps don't agree with me)

Having a coffee as I have to go collect my friends two LO's. I said I'd babysit so she could go to work. Means I have to pick them up at 4pm, hubby finishes at 6.30pm, we will let some fireworks off, then take them home at about 8pm, their Gran will then babysit at their house from 9pm.

4 kids till hubby comes home... eek! Will feed em sausages and chips, all kids like sausages and chips right?

Afternoon all

I'm up and I'm in again this week - looks like its going to be a chatty week this week.

Hi all newbies and returners and hugs to those with the sickies.

Is my sleep day today after nights so will ease myself in gently - living room and hall are tidy anyway so will concentrate on dailies and restocking the cupboards - was nothing breakfasty left when I just got up, so had to content myself with a cup of tea and a Feast ice-cream. Now that's what I call a balanced breakfast - well I had got the tea in one hand and the ice cream in the other

Have a good week lovelies x

Tiamai_d -you had me a bit worried then, but we did get it at an organised event at the local country park so I would have been none the wiser, and well I won it really as dd1 is only 4 so without my help would not have hooked a duck! We were thinking of getting the kids some fish anyway, have now got it a nice pink tank! And will go back in a couple of days and get it a friend as it looks a bit lonely in there!

Anyway not much done in this house yet! I normally get loads done on a monday but I had 30 odd ebay parcels to do and that took me all morning, all done and posted now...well apart from 1 that I couldn't find plus have run out of packaging!

Am going to stick a jacket spud in oven for me to go with the chilli from freezer, and then get on with the front room whilst kids trash upstairs instead:D

Ok I did it, done double doors in both, front door, window next to front door and living room window.

Stopped to pass on the good news, my friend just phoned, little Matthew is on his way home :j :j they've just left the hospital, hospital said he's the poorliest baby they've ever had in surgery but recovered the quickest, what a little fighter! :j :j Grin on my face and my kids is like this

Right seeing as I am being powered by happiness think I will do the TV cabinet & the stuff on it for DP as I am in a good mood now, then think it will be time to get ready to go out for the firework display

MP3 player
digital camera
kareoke (sp?) machine - might drive you crazy but 10 year old would probably love it!!!

I have digital camera on the list but I'm only prepared to spend £20-30 for it so it wouldn't be a 'main gift' They all have MP3's.. keep them quiet for HOURS!!

The others are having DSlites but DD2 already has a DS.. hence I'm stuck!

They have the singstar stuff for the PS2.. which I am STILL in the lead on.. they practically do themselves an injury trying to beat me lol. I knocked them off top scores once when I had a horrendous sore throat.. they were not impressed!! I have ordered the high school musical for singstar for DD3.. she will LOVE that!!

Tia.. 3 of mine hate chips!! and I don't like them either.. fries from one specific shop I will eat but only without chip spice!! .. I have got hotdogs for my bunch for tonight.. see.. I do a meal plan.. and ignore it!

Well done little Matthew
