Weekly Flylady Thread 25th February 2008

lil_me

I'm here G&B but getting myself all wound up with this sodding assignment. Going to o onto the next question I think. I've left DP in bed who'll probably have more of an idea on how to do this than me because I can't be bothered with him, that's bad isn't it :rotfl:

Roofers coming out this week and next to do estimates for work, spent most of the the last hour on the phone to them. Doubt that helped me concentrate, I was distracting myself too leaving the internet on.

Just had £450 go into my bank account and I don't know where it's from, online banking doesn't show where until the day after so best ring them, always suspicious of unkown transactions but of course not moaning if it's right and something I wasn't expecting as that sort of money will really help this month!

I've put the calor gas heater thing (which I am scared stiff of lighting) on in the conservatory, see if warming me up helps warm my brain up, time to get DP up, have lunch then see if I can crack this question...

Morning all

Hope you're feeling a bit better now GnB.

JillD. I don't want to be clever getting blue screens with XP. I want to be boring and have nothing ever go wrong! A week or two ago there was an Adobe update and I think something went haywire. When I tried to use BBC iPlayer at the weekend it said I didn't have Flash player, I downloaded it and it said "successfully downloaded" but still wouldn't play. I ended up doing a system restore and it worked then. But it seems like something is still not quite right.

*trembles*

Anyway.

Two loads of washing on the line including DD's bedding. Not so nice today, no breeze, so I don't think it will dry as well as yesterday.

Cleaned bathroom and toilet thoroughly.

Watched Corrie and an episode of Supernatural (wot - you mean that's not work?)

Off to cook lunch now.

Since I had the cleaner out made the cooker splash back shine

ok need to go out to PO, bank, lino place - looking for something dark with a rice crispie pattern :rolleyes: Anything just not plain black!!! (apologies for the over use of ! - but lino looks perfect if you speep,mop,sweep,mop and then it only looks good for all of 30 seconds) If I can get some fitted in time might give me the incentive to ebay all the "stuff" (which is currently living in our bedroom, upstairs bathroom and there might be some in the loft too )

Then collect kids, DH - go to ikea swap shelf (since the one we picked up didn't have any fixings - they were supposed to be there :mad: ) then I can come home and have a look at the bits missed from the list...

Hope you all have a good afternoon.

Finished all of yesterday tasks and had lunch.

Towels have finished washing now so going to put them on the line.

I did think of gardening this afternoon but it is not that warm out so I am going to do a concentrated 2 hours in OH office cleaning and doing ebaby photos.

ORF - very disappointed that I have nothing to report - yet

Morning all, sitting on my bum watching It Pays To Watch from last night. Think I need to check out the PPI.I cannot stand that Katie Hopkins from the Apprentice. Like she needs the money!

No flying as yet. Been out for a coffee and need to return drill bits to my uncle. Will do that after DD comes home for lunch.

(((Vanilla))) missed your post last night. Hope your feeling better today xx

Gosh its quiet on here...!
I've just back in, had some lunch, looked at my list...not much more to do now..
Got to put a load in the TD , then I might read for a bit.
DH has been sent to the hospital. He thinks he cracked his rib when we went body boarding in Aus. The pain went then came back on sunday, so he went to the docs...they've sent him for an x-ray, muttering something about a collapsed lung....DH is not amused...I'm enjoying a quiet house!!

OK, I don't know what happened, I went back to bed for a snooze at 10.30ish and I have only juts oke up along with DS2.

Well, I woke up, got up, came downstairs to the horrid smell of the dog's bed, so I slung it in the wash, picked up some rubbish and made lunch.

DS2 isnt eating as he is coughing too much, but its shifting 'stuff' in his chest so he is not getting a cough bottle.

What I need to do today.

Wash sofa's
Hoover downstairs
Hoover stairs
Mop floors
Do dishes
S&S kitchen
Dust living room
Do some washing
Sort out 'Mount Iron-more'
Clean bathroom (PC desk is fine)
Clear a tunnel to the kids beds.
Wash out plastic part of dogs bed
Get dogs beds cushion dry

Oh and dog is not showing symptoms of Kennel Cough, think he was just miffed that he had been away. Little !!!!!! stole the half pack of bacon from the fridge yesterday that he sat and WATCHED me put back in there.

Afternoon all

Done sod all today. Have S & S kitchen, tidied and hoovered lounge and taken some chicken breasts out for tea - thats it. Have not even taken DD2 back to preschool as could not face the walk there and back again - how lazy is that:o .

Got a really muzzy head took some tablets but dont seem to have touched it. Need to pop over to shop as DH just phoned and I need to make a cake for him to take into work tomorrow. DD1 has swimming lesson at 5pm and then parents evening appointment for 6.50pm - will have to take both littles with us.

Ironing pile still untouched and it is scaring me now, DD1 has friend over for tea tomorrow so need to work out what to feed them too. Me thinks HM pizza, salad and doughballs.

Thanks for all the positive vibes on the job front. My stuff arrived from M&S and guess what.......................I love all of it and want to keep it. Will do fashion show later and keep the most fav, cannot really justify £300 on suits that if I didnt get the job (and even if I did) would probably not wear again.

So no flying to report more staggering

Assignment is using MINITAB. Just getting my head round the programme itself seems to be the largest issue. Remember where what does etc. Argh! Doing courses that are seperate but together which use various programmes means it gets a little confusing, sure I will get there with it. Anyway for now I have skipped that bit to go back to later. Thinking I am far better concentrating on what I can do, get all the marks I can then go back to those if I have time, I seem to be sailing through the next question so far but no doubt will hit a sticky patch.

FrankieM hope your partner is ok, sounds a bit ouchy.

Well my partner got up and went out so that's a quiet afternoon for me aswell, think I will just keep studyin and see if I can get this assignment completed, quicker I get it done the quicker I can start the next one (due in on the 12th eeek!)
