Well - DH says the bin had something dead in it by the looks of it, and my brand new bin is full of maggots, and to top it off, Asda refused to serve me alcohol!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday DH, lets celebrate with a nice glass of ribena!

ARGH

tortoise · 30/08/2006 19:20

Why did they refuse to serve you?

Ruby - My kids and visiting friend got mcd for tea too! Me and DP had a lovely pie, new tates and peas.

I bought some albums from asda and DP is currently sitting putting the photos in them. Swearing quite a bit though coz I got those sticky paged ones and he can't get them flat

they're not fecking lace-ups

now ocd was asking a very good question which we ignored because of this song hilarity (particularly liked 'you're sadder than everyone thi-inks)

Cod the next thing you have to do I think is the swish and swipe

you do really have to visit the website really, dearie. We're no real examples. Trinity is forever wanting to the clean the wrong room and Ruby is always out on some hearty trip.

tortoise · 30/08/2006 20:59

my hotspot is the computer desk. but i cant do it as i am mumsnetter.
now what was one of the rules, dont be distracted by the computer? Gah, that doesnt work....

tortoise · 30/08/2006 21:25

My front room carpet really needs cleaning.Can't afford to buy a carpet cleaner though!
Might have to look into hiring one but then it would probably have to be picked up which i can't do!!!

Sink is shiny, washing machine, dishwasher and tumbledryer all buzzing away merrily. Counter tops in kitchen clear. Living room reclaimed for adults kids in bed. Just need to lay out clothes brush teeth and go to bed at a reasonable time. As I am usualy at work till gone midnight Mon, Wed and Fri any time after 9 is a god send!!!! Not looking forward to going back to work ohh well not got to worry about it till the 10th.

Hopefully I will of completed the baby steps and by flying well by then, as this will ease some of the stress I have been feeling recently.

ocd · 30/08/2006 22:01

i siwsha dn swip already

you mean you lot dont?//
i keep cleaning stuff hidden all aroudn the house
tis not the quick things that deafeat me its like cleaning all the window framses adn the skriting boards i never have time to do

domestickler · 30/08/2006 23:14

ocd I think you have completely the wrong attitude to be a true FLYer

SKYTVADICT · 31/08/2006 08:40

OCD - I am the same really but am hoping that when we get to the relevant zone those things might get done and when I am on top of the smaller things there will be time for the bigger things.

I am up, showered and dressed but thats about it today. The washing is nearly all done. Hoovered the lounge thoroughly the other day - may do it again!

ocd · 31/08/2006 08:41

oh no
am i sacked
think ia m amready an intermediate flyer.
HOW bad deos ti have to be before oyu lot flew?

shazronnie · 31/08/2006 08:53

ROFL Popsycal!

Cod - perhaps you need to go to detailed cleaning lists here which tells you all the jobs for the weekly zone. Or if you can't be arsed to do all that just do a kelly's mission which is just one job for the day.

I had an ok day yesterday, and did some detailed cleaning; will try to finish the lounge list today, while singing Popsycal's song...

Jasnem · 31/08/2006 09:10

The kids are back, and my life and house is descending back into chaos.

Can anyone help me here?

Cod - I've read enough of your posts on good housekeeping to suspect you could write the flylady website Yes, some of us are that bad. Go straight to the hard stuff.

sheepgomeep · 31/08/2006 09:19

can I join this thread??

been with flylady for over 3 years now but stopped doing it for a year and now just restarting.

this morning I've tidied all downstairs and put 1 load of washing in! this is rare for me!!

Flamesparrow · 31/08/2006 09:32

I am a sad sad woman... close to tears last night because I was sooo tired, but I wanted to shine my sink before bed .

Nothing done yet today. Tis DH's birthday, DD crawled into bed with us this morning and is still asleep . She has been overtired for weeks, and I'm not doing anything that risks waking her!!!

Wine - I had no id. I am 25, looked exhausted, there is no way that I would have passed for 17. I was wearing baggy jeans and a hoody though, so clearly I am 12 and just pretending, not just wanting to slouch!

AmandaP · 31/08/2006 09:32

Welcome sheepgomeep! (great name by the way)

We are all at slightly different stages - some have been going for I think 2 or 3 weeks now? Personally I've been 'learning to fly' for about a week and a half - this week has been a bit of a struggle due to dh being off work for the week, and messing things up. But next week the kids go back to school (yay), the dh goes back to work (even more yay) and I get some time to fly and paint (woo hoo)

As for today, w-e-l-l , we're all up and dressed (apart from me as I'm just out of the shower and sitting here not wearing much! goodness, the mind boggles), dishwasher with breakfast stuff in, animals fed, kitchen clean, and then we're off to London for the day. So no more flying today!

Have a good day everyone

Flamesparrow · 31/08/2006 09:46

Yay Sheepgomeep!!! Your name always makes my face go
