Weekly Flylady Thread 26th November 2007

Hi Everyone

I just wanted to say thanks for a great thread - I have actually done some of the tasks which is a huge improvement. I have been unwell for a few months, have a horrid cough that does not go and breathlessness, on top of this I moved house in October so chaos and no energy to sort it out.

I was off work for 3 weeks and I am now on a phased return, back to almost full days so I was not sure if I could do the tasks listed here. But I decided to give it a go and.....
I have started to clean the fridge - doing a bit each day as I hate this job.
hoovered the dining room, living room, hall and stairs at Level 1 but still better.
27 fling boogie
sorted 1 bag of papers each night and 15 mins of filing.
contacted old letting agents as still not received over payment of rent and deposit back - but that is another story.
found my driving licence - the green bit as will need to get address changed.
changed the address on tv licence as was too ill and forgot before.
Have 3 bags to go to the charity shop - not that good as they have sat around for over a week but will take them tomorrow!

Well off to bed now - will look in again tomorrow.... if I can see over the ironing mountain.

Morning all

Just a quick one from me, prob won't get chance to post again before the weekend. Welcome to all the newbies, you are all putting me to shame already!! Don't forget the flylady mantra 'baby steps and NO catching up' All rooms come round once a week and anything you manage off the lists that you hadn't done before = success

Well I finally got my phone call, in fact I tried calling them again before I took W swimming. Didn't expect them to answer so was caught on the hop! Still need to ring the tax credit people though so that will have to be tonight's job. But to fully complete that I need DH's P60 for last tax year, which I never received so more chasing phone calls for that. Does it never end?

Work today and tomorrow for me and..... drum roll please

W is trying out after school club today so keep your fingers crossed that he enjoys it. If he does I shall sign him up for it from next term which will make my Thurs run home from work a lot easier.

Great news on the flat Rach another thing ticked off. I undestand completely where you are coming from. I have so many things that I need to do and they are all whizzing round in my head almost 24/7. The best sleep I have is when I am completely and utterly shattered and just zonk out.

Anyway enough from me, hope you all have a productive few days. I shall read even if I don't get chance to post.

Well I now have 2 poorly littles at home with me. No major flying done her but everybed has been changed thanks to DD2 throwing up in everybed in the house apart from DD1 (who threw up in her own bed last night:rolleyes: ).

Did do trip to docs as DD2 said her ears were hurting, official verdict she has a viral infection but they have given her anti-biotics as she had a gammy finger so it should clear anything up. Problem is getting her to take the stuff, she HATES the stuff runs and hides. Trouble is whenever her temp goes up she throws up.

Next week I really want to do deep down cleaning. I did have several items I wanted to list on ebay today but know if I get them out to photograph the littles will play with them (even though they havent touched them for months ).

Right cuppa and off to scrub the bathroom, I need a scrub myself:eek:

That's a catagorical NO! I'm too young to be called Grandma. Having said that I did blurt out that I'd have to start knitting - !!!!!!? Scary! :eek:

She's only a few weeks gone so we're looking at July-ish time? She hasn't been to the Docs yet.

Been to the school and the teacher that saw what happened wasn't around so a waste of time :rolleyes:

gunsandbanjos

That was my mums reaction too, she thinks she's far too young to be a gran!

Quick question re quidco. I have payments set up via the bacs system. I am due a payment of £89 but in the payments tab it is telling me to switch to bacs as the paypal limit has been reached? I have checked and my account details are in my setting (plus I have been paid this way 3 times previously). Is this something that will just automatically change itself?

thanks

Huge congrats EMBB!!
