Weekly Flylady Thread 21st April 2008

I turned the heating off this morning it is boiling.

:o:o

Monday I got to level one.

Yesterday I sat drinking diet coke (around six litres) and being sorry for myself. And hiding from this thread because of all that needed doing.

Last night I got word SIL is coming. She is perhaps not in herself a neat freak but hates me. So I have to get the place smart.

So now I won't have time to read this thread properly, thank people and say how grateful I am that the lists go up. And I am really grateful.

So, while I will not be posting (or if I am - shoot me!) and I won't be pressing the thanks button, I do really appreciate what info I can get from here.

BTW has anyone thought of collating the Weekly FlyLady, as in, at the end of the week putting it onto the end of a thread or something so when SIL visits I can work through three or four lists before she gets here? I'm sure there's publications in there.

:rolleyes:At least you willingly own up to stealing the sunshine! My heatings off because I'm as tight as a kippers wotsit

hev, you'll get there, I have faith in you. I am sure someone was working on having a list of links for every FL thread but I can't remember who. One way if you want to find old ones would be to put weekly+flylady+thread then +march or +february etc in the search box to find old lists. The + allows you to search for multiple words in one thread rather than just finding the single words.

Hev.. stop drinking that coke it is disgusting.. probably about the worst thing you can drink.. you will feel so much better if you drink fruit juice or just plain Adams ale! I am sure you'll have your house ship shape by the time SIL visits.. and who is she coming to visit you or your house??? If she comments on the 'mess' point her in the direction of the vacuum and microfibre cloths!! Most weeks the list is pretty much of a muchness with only a few tasks changing so by collating threads they would be pretty long and repetative I would think... could you not just print off a weeks list and work through.. and maybe add a few other bits that are obvious?

I still feel really sick but must do something so I'm grabbing me a cloth and dashing off... HHC 11-11:30am.. anyone??

Morning all

Sorry, we've got the sunshine - it's absolutely beautiful here (S. Glos)

Stripped and remade DD's bed. Two loads of washing out on the line and I've just put the throws in to wash.

Dusted and vacuumed all the bedrooms and the landing. Vacuumed bathroom/toilet floors too. I've also done the bathroom/toilet clean because I've got the dentist tomorrow morning so I probably won't feel like it after that.

Vacuumed through downstairs.

Took the dog out for a walk, I'm gradually taking her a bit further each week as she recovers from being ill. She's worn out now.
