Weekly Flylady Thread 21st January 2008

Mudbath

I'm just going to be very nice to you pigpen. Seriously though, good on you standing up to them, I think half the time people sign things with them because they're 'official' so they don't think to argue. Hope the chocolate helps...i've got some thornton's continental with your name on if you're in need.

Dusty - i'm up for the HHP challenge later.

Going to see what's left on my list.

Tuesday Living Room, Hall and Stairs
Level 1
Vacuum floors and sofas
Level 2
Dusting
Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe
Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
Level 3
Wipe light switches and banister
Clean any other glass like mirrors etc
Tidy shoes, coats and bags
Vacuum under furniture (only if you won't hurt yourself doing it, don't want any injuries)
Extra Mission:
Pick one or more of the following tasks –

• Clear one hotspot or spend at least 15 minutes clearing it a bit
• Give the inside of the front door a wipe (if it's not pouring down you could do the outside too)
• Wipe the leaves of your plants
• Sort through any magazines or paperwork lying around
• Clean windows and sills in these areas

I think this is all doable as I don't work on Tuesdays. I also need to;
- sort washing out
- set dishwasher and unload
- breadmaker
- make a lasagne
- HHP challenge and blow up ball
- pick up prescription

Ok, very nearly there. My kitchen and living room now look fabulous (thanks to you lot and the flylady way of thinking ). Now that DH is only working part-time, I can get back to flying as I used to. He looks after the baby and I do my list! He's also re-affixed the shower head, re-painted all of the woodwork in the bathroom and generally been lovely. Shame I can't say the same about the wee ones :rolleyes: .

Whilst searching for ball exercises I came across a site for exercises for ladies with big jugs - really inappropriate for me but not for some of you.

Do you mean jugs as in water carriers or as in boobs - as one of the big boobed type I'm intrigued - more info please Dusty as some of my exercises do cut off air supply to my windpipe, and as for standing on your head, just don't go there

1st HHC done :-
[strike]
tidy kitchen
wash up and put crocks away
dust living room
sweep living room
sweep kitchen floor

Ok, the sitting room and kitchen may be looking good, but my bedroom looks like I've been burgled! Anyone up for a HHC? 5 until 5.30. That gives me five minutes to settle the littles before I start...and we're out of chocolate :eek: !

tiamai_d

I should go start dinner, chicken and parsnip chips with some veg.

pigpen

mudbath.. thanks .. one choc was plenty.. they just think they are dementors.. I did point out to one of the the word 'social' was spelled incorrectly (socail) on her Id card and she should get it changed because people would think she was fake otherwise!

Tia.. she is adorable.. and her babies are luvverly and soooo cute!!!!

we have BARNEY and LILA

Mudbath

Tia - are they your bunnies? The grown up looks like our old rabbit lolly. Aww I miss him. He was a house bunny who was house trained apart from weeing in DHs shoes. We have guinea pigs now and I love them too because they chat to us and chase the cat which is great fun. The cat gets it's own back by attacking the dog though. We have a very disfuntional family!

I need to give the kitchen the once over because it looks like it's not been touched, grrrrrrrrrrr! Think i'll do some 5 minute mini challenges if there is such a thing.

Mudbath

Oops - posted twice as fingers are tempremental tonight!

Mudbath

Awwww I love Lila and Barney too...i want a rabbit. Then again, I also want a rat, a cat and another dog. If I got them it would mean no DH, lol.

Pigpen - are you serious about the name badge being spelt wrong. That's terrible. Are you sure they were legit!

lil_me

Thanks for all of the info you posted while I slept. I got to bed at 11.30am and didn't get back out until 2.30pm....pleased I did as DP was ready to go and get DS2 from school when he's there til 4pm on Tuesdays for now...I really like the idea of those zip off mattress covers if they work, I'm going to keep pestering the health centre first. OT here can only help with DS2 because DS1 has his Autism diagnosis (DS2 still waiting for assessment) but the special needs health visitor has been helpful in the past so trying to get in touch with her. Spray for the enzymes, hmmm, haven't heard of it but will look.

lg :rotfl: with the washing machine, why do you think I told the landlady to leave hers in, that way mines saved in the garage, may aswell kill hers off first, we're paying for what it was to rent fully furnished after all.

Made myself do some of the list before logging back on, not doing bad. DS2 has soaked 2 more sets of school clothes today so washing piles back up again. It's the getting stuff dry which is driving me mad, need some nice weather!
