Weekly Flylady Thread 17th December 2007

Afternoon all

Two loads of washing on the line including the throws from the living room - and it's frozen! It froze when I put it out and it's still frozen now - I'll have to unhook it from the line later

Pulled all the furniture out in the living room and vacuumed behind and underneath. Took all my ornaments off the shelf and cleaned them and the shelf. Brought down some presents from the little bedroom and put them near the tree. Just got to get DD to get her stuff out of there so DS can get to his bed on Sunday night!

After my shopping comes tomorrow (please let it all be there and not be a nightmare like last time) I will see how much stuff I can put away from my Christmas foodbox upstairs and then move the box into my bedroom.

If I'm feeling energetic later I might iron the Christmas tablecloth, somebody told me they put theirs on a trouser hanger when it's ironed and keep it on the back of a bedroom door until needed. Better than ironing it Christmas morning.

I love that aimeelister....i haven't got much time so think i'll just say;

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

I'm off to the theatre this afternoon. Before you get too jealous i'm accompanying over 250 chidren! Not all mine! Our school takes them all to the theatre once a year and i've been asked to help out.

So, i'll be on later with a very large glass of wine and probably some tablets for my headache!

Have a fun day and don't work too hard or i'll have to feel guilty xx

Aimee thanks for the wishes they made me laugh. I had feathers yesterday from a little early christmas gift from one of the mogs, maybe they have finally realised that I don't like mice on the floor so are trying a different tact?

Vanilla hugs hun for you and yours. Will the little one drink flat lemonade? Mine love it warm and it really does make you feel better with the great salts/sugar comination.

I have wrapped all the santa stuff including stockings just having a break. I have a small list of things still to get which I will do tonight if OH is home in time for late night shopping or tomorrow after carols if not.

Going to start thinking of food now - list of bits to get tonight for the next few days and then my delivery needs to be sorted - booked just list not done.

Tinsel - hope yesterday went ok and that you are not too stressed

Flying now on hold until the weekend as once the gifts/food is sorted I can have a good clean before the holiday.
