Weekly Flylady Thread 9th June 2008

Evening all.

HELLO TO NEWBIES AND HUGS TO ALL!!!!!

Woke up feeling really rubbish today. AF is due next week so I'm assuming it was that. Tried walking, chocolate, chilling out at the duck pond, bus ride across the city and nothing helped. Came home phoned mum and complained then my friend rang too say hi and when he heard how down I was he came over to cheer me up :rotfl: So we spent the afternoon drinking coffee and chatting. So minimal flying here today - as in BM on now (and an hour left to go....I want my bed though ) and dishes soaking. I did a quick tidy and S&S in the kitchen before friend arrived though Saw Mum and my brother this evening after school and Johanne and her little girl were there as well :D:D:D:D:D:D Home and nothing done since except tea and sleep.

Not planning on doing much else this week. Will change the beds Sunday while DD is out with Ex, and I need to go and see my dad with a card & pressie for Fathers Day (which I need to get first ) otherwise I don't think I have anything else I really need to do except study.

Right, off to catch up on my scrabulous games on Facebook and I'll try to keep up with you all. Night all :wave:

I feel like I have done NOTHING all week.. between school runs, college chasing after my mother, offsprings and siblings, shopping and washing there's been no time for anything!!

I got DD3's letter for her anti-Pi$$ medication but I don't know if I am meant to make her an appointment for the GP or if they'll just do me a prescription seeing as it has been requested.. The school nurse is calling me back on Monday supposedly... I'll not hold my breath!

Morning ladies

Been AWOL again since mon or tues, well no flying since then anyway as I have been absolutely exhausted, so house is a tip and will need some work on it big time this weekend. Luckily I'm not going into work now on Sunday. Couldnt get a sitter for my daughter and didnt know if mum and dad would be back from hols and my boss said I couldnt take her into work for 2 hours so I'll be at home and she's covering it with someone else . OH cooked tea last night and went off to work this mornin and you guessed it, I came down to all the mess from last night. Well it can stay there until Ive done what I need to do in town today.

Massive hugs :grouphug: to those who need them and big hellos:hello: to everyone else especially all the new flyladies - you put me to shame

lilme you've prob already gone but I hope you have a fab weekend

and I'll try and catch up with everyone else later.

Morning all, had a good time last night.

School fete today, so glad I am not on the PTA anymore. Our family are helping on various stalls though so still feel I'm doing our bit.

Need to:
put the washing on (forgot last night)
wrap presents
pop to town for a couple of bits (ie dinner)
clean the bath.

That is it for this morning.

Tomorrow I will find my list and finish bits off and do DS1 room

Morning everyone.

we are a bit fitter here today as ds2 slept till 5am before the 1st feed from 9:30 last night, and ds1 slept till 8. shame we were not in bed till midnight as dh was not in from work till after ten, and then we had to cook and wash up. i also had to wrap up an amazon parcel, and wrote an accompanying letter to send off ds2's child trust fund voucher.

we have a busy weekend in front of us i think, so we have planned to either go out for tea tonight, or to have a takeaway as we need to have a rest from something to recover a bit.

i'd best start a list i suppose, to be done over the weekend at least.

• [strike]strip our bed and cot, wash bedding[/strike], remake both
• [strike]post amazon parcel[/strike]
• [strike]post trust fund voucher[/strike]
• [strike]post FIL fathers day card (yes i know it will be late but i can't remember to do everything for DH)[/strike]
• [strike]write fathers day cards[/strike]
• [strike]food shop[/strike]
• get 3-6 month clothes out of loft
• get my normal clothes out of the loft
• return my brothers bike
• visit the parents
• a few HHI challenges
• file some paperwork away
• run a hoover around upstairs -3 bedrooms, landing, bathroom and stairs
• get DH to move money into his ISA
• wash a load of dark kids clothes
• wash a load of light kids clothes
• 27 fling boogie
• make roast of some description
• fill in child tax credit annual pack-thingy

extras:

• chucked out manky flowers, washed out vase
• 10mGC
• towels washed
• emailed amazon buyer

And i am sure there was loads more but i really don't remember at this minute. I dare say we should get dressed and get started.

sent DH and ds1 on post office and supermarket shop as i was feeding ds2

I have placed a lakeland order through Quidco though. My first order.:j I bought a Microfibre bath sheet from the Lakeland in town. Have decided to order another set.

Have decided I really must concentrate on losing a bit of weight. Last week I was terrible at eating carp.

vacumn living room and dust.
Do some shopping
HHI
Take GGD present to daughters plus bits and pieces for DD
Catch up a bit on my reading

Have a good day everyone.
