Weekly Flylady Thread 31st March 2008

poohbear59

Hi folks,
I'd like to be in again next week. I only managed two days last week. I just seem to go from one problem to another. At ENT on Friday they did some strange movements with me to help get rid of my dizziness and I then couldn't lean forward without feeling sick!! I have to sleep sitting up for a week! Then next week I'm off to the eye specialist.
Its not just me that goes from one thing to another is it?
I have spent almost all day helping DS2 write job application and have done no flying at all. Again!

Pigpen, does harpic work on enamel baths? I can't get the stains off mine whatever I try.

About 20 yrs ago we had an enamel bath repainted. we got a specialist guy to do it and it was still okay when we left the house 13 yrs later.

Vivw - lucky you having a diy inclined OH! Me and OH can do a bit, but we bodge things a bit. We also have massive arguments doing diy and we normally never argue, so try to avoid it!

It hasn't made mine perfect but the more often I do it the cleaner it appears to be getting.. ours had really bad limescale from a leaking tap which has gone and marks under the bathmat which are fading and rust marks from fitting the new taps which has gone too. I decided whatever I did I couldn't make it worse!

Toothpaste does a grand job too.. I bought really cheap stuff.. pasted it on andleft it overnight then scrubbed it off.

Madcatgirl

Thanks, may give the toothpaste a go on the bath. The stains make it look dirty all the time, although it is shiny when I clean it.

We have an agreement in our house.. I tell hubby what needs doing and he does it.. we have a huge long list of jobs and we work our way through steadily.. we don't argue about it because what I say goes.. and on occasion he has actually admitted I've had a good idea about something.. other times I say I want this doing and I don't care how so long as the end result is bearable.

the only time we had a massive row doing anything was outting up the cot for the first time.. I ended up walking out!! lol

Tip for cupboard tops ....line the top with wallpaper [ get cheap £1 roll of discontinued from B & Q] or newspaper and ever so often, remove it and replace with new

Thats what I've done - newspaper lined. BUT I'm not changing it tomorrow I'll change it when the kitchen is my weeks project as I'm hoping to source some proper kitchen & bathroom paint to paint over the ghastly "spongecake" colour the ex picked, although it is an improvement on the limegreen that was in there :eek:

Remembered today that it is ex's parents wedding anniversary on Wednesday, so I dug out a blank card there and then and its now ready to post

Still have loads to do and was meant to be heading to bed 2 hours ago I'm going now as I'm planning on getting up at 6 and doing "Power of 3" Davina work out...whether that happens or not is another matter.:rotfl::rotfl:

Night all :wave:
