Weekly Flylady Thread 28th January 2008

Right, just having a pitstop with a cuppa. List is coming on nicely thanks to my unexpectedly rearranged afternoon. I think I'll sort out the maps now so they are ready, clean the fishtanks because they're gross then settle down for a couple of hours to look through those documents

Tuesday - Lovely Living Rooms and Safe Stairs
Level One
[STRIKE]Vacuum floors in these areas, even if around clutter [/STRIKE]
Clear anything from the stairs! Safe stairs are a must don't have any!
Level Two
[STRIKE]Move clutter so you can vacuum under it [/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Vacuum and wipe (if needed) sofas[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Dust any areas below eye level [/STRIKE]
Level Three
[STRIKE]Dust anything above eye level (if safe to do so) [/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Clear anything that shouldn't be where it is, ahem that includes that cup![/STRIKE]
Wipe the bits next to the steps on the stairs, yours might be skirting board, edging of some sort, grab a cloth and give it a wipe don't have any
Extra Mission Tasks - as usual if you fancy tackling something else you could try one or more of these

Check where important documents like passports, birth certificates, driving licences, medical cards are and make a note of where they are and if any need replacing, changing etc (yes I know it's repeated but lots of members were not about when it was done already done

• Spend 15 minutes sorting paperwork, dealing with anything urgent NOW
• [STRIKE]Wipe down window frames in these rooms (inside) clean any marks from window[/STRIKE]
• Clean out the vacuum cleaner, empty the bag/bucket, clean filters if they are washable MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PUT THEM BACK UNTIL THEY ARE DRY!
• 20 minutes ironing time to get that pile down, oh and make sure you put it away!

Others:

• Be in for lady to come and pick up her purchase - check other maps to see if the road she's interested in is on them in case the one she's bought isn't the right end.
• Check out maps of area C for chap who's interested in buying and email him with the details
• Prepare veal stew for slow cooker for tomorrow night's dinner
• [STRIKE]Get ham out of freezer to defrost to cook tomorrow night for sandwiches for Thurs/Fri[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Put BM on[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Find one load of washing and put it on and hang it up to dry[/STRIKE] actually discovered three loads! It seems the kids ejected some washing from their room after I went to work this morning. Two are hanging up now and the third is on and will be hung up when finished (I tend to cheat a lot of the time and put it on the 'quick' cycle which only takes half an hour then finish off with the spin part of the normal cycle).

Dusty - I wish I was more like you. When you know you have tonnes of other stuff on you just accept that the flying has to take a back seat. Me, on the other hand, I stress about it until everything on my list is done so, for that reason, I'm going to make myself not do one thing on my list every day! Doesn't sound hard but for me it will be...think i'm a control freak.

Remember you work many more hours than me. I know I have no more work this week now and the invigilating comes in waves so I have to take the work when I can. I also tend to look at flying over the week - hence my Dusty's week so that I can see when I can slot time in. Also I do not do Level 3 in every room every week because I can't be bothered:rotfl:

Right.. HHC 4:30-5pm anyone?? I need to get the kitchen shipshape.. instead of sh!theap before I cook dinner!!

47 items with watchers now.. no new bids today though I NEED some more to shift!! 21 watchers on 2 items though!!!! I think they'll sell well!!

going to loo and I'll be back to fly at 4:30.. come on then.. who's in...

Oh.. tomorrow I need FORCING to do a HHE.. 10:30am.. LG.. Shell.. lil_me.. anyone???

Can't do HHE sorry, just [STRIKE]stuffed my face[/STRIKE] tended to my hour glass figure with some lovely shortbread. May bounce on the ball for a bit, practice ya know Actually my back hurts so I should do some.

Well school was a HUGE disappointment! Nobody said anything! Found out what boy it was, and he has had it coming. He kept breaking a model DS1 was making (as well as pushing him for teh past few weeks) and finally he snapped. So he has not been told off except to say 'Next time just don't bite'.

HOWEVER... DS1 has a big scrape on his wrist, he was pushed over at lunch time and has hurt his wrist... but did I get a call about that? :mad: thats what that school is like.

Got home and my internet had been cut off! luckily AOL now has the connection (and I managed to set up a new connection because I'm awesome) and it's so much faster! Like wheeeee!!!!!! OH! New IP address! Cool!!!!!:rotfl::T

I don't sell on ebay but I know some of you do and I saw this mentioned on another forum and thought you might be interested. More ebay trying to fix something that ain't broke I think.

This bit seems particularly mad to me :

Sellers will no longer be able to leave negative or neutral Feedback for buyers. This change will occur in May, 2008.

Second day of solids for baby and she threw the whole lot up again that took me 15 (valuable) minutes to get down her this morning.
Tried to buy DH valentine card and they were all naff so have decided to find time (when ???) to make one. Was so fed up totally trashed my diet and binged on (gulp of shame) kids smarties

Looks a good idea in principle.. it means sellers will not be able to leave retaliatory negative feedback.. but it also means they should be improving their service.. Doesn't say they won't be able to leave positive though.. I'm afraid I won't be leaving anyone buying from me feedback if that is the case.. it is hardly fair to be able to leave a positive but not a negative!!

BUT it would have stopped the moron leaving me a retaliatory negative last month.. even though I had paid promply and merely enquired why I hadn't got my item after 2 months!!! Then the cheeky git had the nerve to ask me to mujtually remove feedback.. I said I'd rather have a negative I can reply to and know he had one too than lie!

Plus the percentage thing is to be worked out over the last 12 months feedback.. so the gormless twerp who left me negative when I first joined even though that was his incompetence as well won't be able to affect my rating 6 years later.

Wonder if it had anything to do with my 'battle' with them last month??
