Weekly Flylady Thread 21st January 2008

shell2001

Thanks for all the bunny pics - DD1 has just said ahhhh can we have one:rolleyes: .

OK littles bathed, hair washed and brushed with only one yelp! Miracles do happen:D .

French stick rising so will be going in oven in a min along with sliced pots for tea. Will start cooking off littles sausages so they have chance to cool down.

Lounge looks like a bird has been killed thanks to the littles barbie island princess slippers - they have got pink maraboo (think thats what its called - probably not and your all laughing at me:rotfl: ) that sheds really badly, maybe I should just hoover the slipper directly and that would get rid of the problem;) .

Will sort a load of washing to be ready to go first thing in the morning too, seeing as I forgot earlier:o , we are due more rain tomorrow so will end up in the TD anyway.

Right tea

pigpen and tia I won't tell you what is in my slow cooker or you might never speak to me again!
Dustykitten and likklegibbon I have the same problem, don't go on a trampoline either or you get black eyes!! My mini trampoline is okay though.

Mr T is selling exercise balls with exercise instructions included for £3.49 . I bought two balls at Aldi for £3.99 so I wasn't pleased. I have managed to kill 5 balls already! Okay not me really, but one was the dog. and the rest were ruined by the boys sitting on the ball at my desk and right beside my metal filing cabinet.

Pigpen tehy are cute! Barney is a netherland dwarf cross? An Lila is a dutch cross! Crossed with a dwarf lop cross to get the mottled effect of her colouring. See, I do know lots about bunnies!

Now, Buffy is the size of a large cat!

Al the babies went to new homes, that was an accident! She couldn't get out the garden, but he was small enough to get in :mad: 11 she had and 10 survived!

Pooh, nah, I eat rabbit! but eatin rabbit is different from pettin rabbit

Dinner is cooking, I'm now trying to work out a cheaper and better broadband package. I used to be with AOL, but left when tiscali was cheaper... now AOL may be cheaper... and I do like that AOL has there own kids accounts, so DS1 could surf in safety... Oh I don't know!

poohbear59

I should add that we do have rescued bunnies and guinea pigs that are our pets and I would never let anything happen to them., and two dogs, two cats, 7 hens..... all rescued/rehomed.

Jobs completed today....nothing! We are snowed in and I have watched old movies and sat in front of the log fire. We have to make the most of days like these as they don't happen often.
Dh has cleaned and vacuumed lounge, chopped wood, hung out washing, sorted washing.

Right, DD and I have been busy today

Lilo – your still in my thoughts and I’m wishing you well:grouphug:
Take heart lil-me. I toilet rained DS3 when he reached 11yrs. He is SLD & ASD. It was hard going but we got there.:T
Shell2001 – kids bathed already? I salute you!;)
Pigpen – I’m glad you and tiddles know who is really in charge.:rotfl:
Jill – catch a nap whenever you can. The housework can wait. Sleep deprivation is a form of torture and can send you mad. I suggest you put your feet up on medical grounds.:coffee:
Embb – Congratulations on your new job. Hope you enjoy it.:j
Pigpen – stick to your guns re SS & don’t be bullied into signing anything you’re not happy with.
I did well with todays list. :A I carried yesterdays ‘left over’ jobs forward and managed to get through a few of those and some extra ones too. I would have done a few more but was getting Boots withdrawel systems and had a fair few vouchers that I [STRIKE]NEEDED[/STRIKE] wanted to use.

Damn I was hoping it was code for a cup of coffee. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Half hour is too much for me I'm afraid.

Are those all code for members of your family Pink Fairy?

Lol.

Yep! Darling woofer 1 & 2, darling kitty 1 & 2, darling foster puppy 1 & 2, as well as the usual. Said it was sad, didn't I. :rotfl:

Been to the gym for the steam room. Chest a bit easier, thank goodness. Off to the doc's in the morning again.

Managed to do quite a bit in the utiltity room. Just need to do the understairs cupboard, clean the kitchen light fitting and wash the floors, then that will be looking pretty good. I've even wiped down all the walls. I've just been doing half hour bursts, but it's chipping away at the clutter and backlog, and even though I don't feel well, I feel better for starting to get back on top of things. Thank you all for the motivation. :j:j:j

Ok, I ended up doing a 45 minute challenge and now all of the clean clothes that were on my bedroom floor are folded. Not put away yet, but folded is better than nothing. DH is a little late home, I'm going to call if he's not back in 5 minutes. I have a terrible phobia of roads and the first thing that crosses my mind is that he's been hit by a car.

Sod it, I'll cal now.

maralum

No, he's ok. Phew.
