I've done most of my dailies now.. and whizzed through the kitchen.. I'll have just one more cuppa then I'll just have time for a 30 minute challenge.. 2:10-2:40 .. then a run to school again.. then my mothers shopping then I have to collect the other 2 from club then bring everyone home cook dinner bath a couple.. I'll do the 'sniff test' LMAO.. whoever smells worst goes in the bath!! I suppose I could send the bigger ones in the bath before dinner and then they'll all smell nice!

I MUST write up a bath rota!! I don't mind if they don't get a bath every day.. but they should really have one at least once a week!!

nails painted tomorrow!! WOOHOO!!

pigpen

yOU know what they say about the best laid plans?? ... well instead of 30 minutes flying I did a 27 fling boogie and spent 20 minutes on the phone!!

Back to school.. and shop.. and school I go!!

I can't believe the site was down again! I didn't get to boast on Monday that I actually cleaned the oven!! It was rank, and could probably do with another scrub, but at least I can now see thru the glass door!

I was going to post last night, but by the time I left work, went to Asda, and walked poochie, it was 1am and the site was down til 8!:rolleyes:

Anyway I was busy on Monday, I was un-walruslike and got my fat butt out of bed! I checked over the car (oil & such) and checked the tyres, which were very low:eek:.

I didn't do anything all day yesterday! I was itching to clean but didn't know where to start without the list! I think e-mails is a great idea lil-me, I'll PM you shortly.

So I've got to catch up on two days! My living room isn't too bad, so shouldn't take long, and the master bedroom is right next door, so I can do both at once!
I've got one load of washing in at the mo, so will have ironing to do later. I'm just finishing my breakfast porridge (on lates this week!) and my cuppa, then better get started.

Now who jinxed the site just so they don't have to listen to me boasting about my sparkly oven??!!:D

The first time I actually do everything on the Monday list, and I can't tell anyone...:eek:

I did the sittingroom yesterday, as it suited and I thought it would probably be on the list. I haven't done a brilliant job, as I wasn't feeling great - been brewing up something since Sunday, which has now turned into a streaming cold today. I am feeling very pathetically sorry for myself (why isn't there a miserable sneezy smiley on here??!)

DS and I did some online Christmas shopping though. I haven't even wanted to think about Christmas, but really have to get my skates on now, or won't be able to cope at all!

Apart from the weekly shopping and three lots of clothes washing, I haven't done anything else today, so will just have to catch up tomorrow, even if it is just washing the bedlinen.

raphael - snap re oven!!

plus got tickets for me and my bessie friend to go to the festive gifts fair at the NEC - should also sort some of my pressie problem out.

Am going to lug the ironing board upstairs so that I can watch a bit of Harry Potter and order of Phoenix while I iron

Might even take next year's calendar and diary to work tonight to put all my shifts/birthdays etc on while it's dead - hell if I'm really bored I might even tackle a pressie list (I'm not as organised as the rest of you lovely Flyladies - I tend to have one mad scramble of a day and get the lot but spend ages thinking about it first )

Hi All

Well driving lesson went ok - got another one of Friday so hopefully I shall gain confidence quickly.

Just phoned breville and the lovely lady at customer service has emailed me the pdf version of the instruction manual for my breadmaker so happy about that. Chocolate loaf was so scrummy so hopefully i can get it to bake all in one go next time.

I am off to remake our bed. Bedding washed and hanging over radiators so that should be ready for ironing later too. Bolognaise is smelling very yum (better sample in a min - need to check seasoning:D ).

DD1 is currently practising her carols, as tuneful as her mum but sounds fab to me! I wanna put the decs up!!!:D but will restrain myself as they will get in the way of my flying.

IF ANYONE ELSE WANTS THE DAILY LIST EMAILING TO THEM IF THE SITES DOWN PM ME YOUR EMAIL!!! I HAVE A POSH SEPERATE SECTION IN MY ADDRESS BOOK FOR FLYLADY ONLY, ONLY TOOK ME HALF AN HOUR TO FIGURE THAT OUT

Thursdays list is now posted

Right well I went for my cuddle with Matthew, took his Mam some cake which she appreciated, nice to get something for you when you have a little one as everyone brings presents for baby. Meeting this afternoon didn't go well as it was supposed to be a reunion of a group DS1 went to, well we were the only ones there, he was a bit upset as he was looking forward to seeing the other kids again.

Sheets all cleaned, need to get DS2s bottom sheets dry just waiting for his duvet to finish in the TD. DP vacuumed downstairs again which is a relief as it's a much bigger downstairs than we used to have, he even mopped the kitchen . He has missed little bits but I won't mention it as I appreciate the help...

Tonight is DS2s football practise after dinner and this week I get the joys of standing freezing cold, brrr, then I plan to

Put kids DVDs I've sorted in their rooms
Remake the beds
Finish sorting the 'piles' in my room
Sort through some of the music CDs
Get darks load washed and hung on airers

I've done the kitchen,living room and our room.So for once I'm up to date with the lists.I also finally inventoried the chest freezer which meant being up to my knees in unidentified bags of frozen somethings and frost bitten hands.Now I just need the motivation to attack the fridge...nope can't find it off for a cuppa instead, biccie anyone?
