Weekly Flylady Thread 10th March 2008

serena

(((vanilla))) - we're all here to talk to, anytime. I am really sorry for you all, and will be thinking of you.

Welcome to yet more newbies :hello:- my, we're awfully popular over here!!

I have been at work all day, very enjoyable. I've just checked my online diary with the agency, and the school have booked me for another week - great!!

I'm not flying today, other than washing uniforms and drying stuff. And cooking dinner. And washing up. I'll do a little bit of catching up tomorrow, and I'm hoping that the weather will be nice as I want to garden.

I'm not sure if OH will be finishing the wardrobes, as DS1 needs supervising doing his Product Design project (or he won't get it done...)

michelle - I'm sorry that you weren't feeling well, and hope that you are better today.

Good evening.

Great news about Shannon isn't it, ok it seems strange with circumstances etc and no doubt we'll hear more of what has gone on soon in the news, just great to hear she's been found alive and well.

vanilla, really don't know what to say, really hope things improve soon and you are ok

Well productive ish afternoon, got quite a bit done. I'm still not 'finished' but hey the weekend is here and I will do some more tomorrow. WOW I got a load completely dry on the line, ok maybe not completely as the jeans were a little damp but didn't need to use the TD Think I best finish the kitchen tonight however as I have started dragging out the baking/breadmaking/dried foods cupboard to sort out (because it's a mess and I don't know what is in there) and left a lot of it hanging out as dinner was ready. I can confirm moroccan beef is as nice as doing it with lamb, I think I prefered it actually, yummy!

DS1s in PJs already after an almighty meltdown which lasted over an hour, he keeps saying 'bees bees everywhere' then just making noises, he's stopped 'urring' now (seriously he sounded like a fog horn) and is a little calmer, I did try getting him to calm down in his room but he started smashing his head off his bed frame, so he's safer rocking next to me.

Next job - sit on my fat lazy bum reading emails, doing freecycle stuff, checking OU stuff, looking on ebay and anything else I can sat down. I've barely sat down all day again so am making myself sit down until 6.30pm.

SSL - BBC news 24 were saying the grandparents but it just seems it was a mans flat, pleased really as the poor mother has been through enough without suspecting her family as the one who did that. Just thank god they found her. And yes, like Pigpen, I had a little cry too, just the relief for finding her.

Thats some accusation for the BBC to make. Having said that, I got it wrong about the neighbour! At first it was reported that she had reported a child on their own, so more neglect than thinking it was Shannon. But apparently, the police had that address to check on their list and after talking to the neighbour, then went in. Still feeling teary and will probably cry when I watch the main news in a wee while. Big hugs to everyone xx

Vanilla hugs hun, I know you have been worried you OH again for a while. At least you have some care in place right now and I hope they stay as long as you both need them.

Still smiling from ear to ear about Shannon - so good to have the news full of a 'happy' outcome. I hope she has not been through too terrible a time.

All of downstairs hoovered and sofas hoovered too.
Hard floors mopped.
Just doing tea then youth club run and little one back.

Plan to wipe round this evening so at least we start the weekend with a ship shape down here.

vanilla

All in all I don’t feel I did too bad :rolleyes:, and, for any one on a gluten free diet MrBadExamples choccie cake turned out great GF style (only diff to recipie added baking powder)

So thanks from a newbie who is still hanging on in there (just :rotfl:) am of to get my tea then read up on all the posts here

Dustykitten

ah this always happens. I plan to finish flying in the evening and then my get up and go goes and I don't do it.

Need to finish clearing up the kitchen after dinner and set the washing for tonight. I guess as no flying plans for tomorrow I could do the wiping/sorting over the weekend.

lil_me

Just been having a look at the weekend stuff, decided to sort the freezer tonight and do meal plan so there is one out of the way

[strike]Change any bedding you didn't get chance to do over the week! all was done
Meal plan for the next week and make a shopping list... based on what you found in the freezer and those things that need using from weekly cupboard sweep
[/strike]

1. Spend 15 minutes pairing up those nasty odd socks.. children are great at helping with these!!
2. spend at least an hour with your family... playing, reading or just watching a dvd and having a hug!
3. Work yourself to level 3 in your messiest room!!
4. Wash the childrens (or adults) dirty coats in pile to go in next
   
5. Make sure you have everything ready for school/work for next week.. pe kits, socks, homework done etc. LAST WEEK BEFORE THE EASTER HOLIDAYS.. WOOHOO!! 4 days left here They only have Friday and Monday off for now :rolleyes:
   
6. Fill a binbag of things to get rid of.. charity/bin etc

[strike]As a family effort clear the hall, stairs and landing
[/strike] done

6 left to do I did donate a pile of stuff to our vets who also run a rescue inc some pet beds, blankets old towels etc today. Trying to think what I can fling tomorrow ....

I haven't watched Emmerdale since we moved house, just switch on to them toasting 'Jamie and Louise' what on earth :eek: couldn't have forecast that one the last time I watched it.
