I wear birkenstocks thingys do they count as shoes?
I've got the garden to do today. Lawn mowing, toys tidying, recycling area cleaned down, sand/water table sorted out. Having a cup of tea first to motivate myself.
TR all I've done today is one washload, one d/wash load, fold some washing and clean my hall. If anyone knocks at the door my house looks clean. I can't be a@*$d to do any more atm, I'm knackered!
Hope you're feeling okay today

morning all, feeling slightly less like a piece of shit today

gonna try and sort the little bedroom today where dd2 is supposed to sleep, (if she did sleeping)

Cappuccino · 28/08/2006 10:37

I'm going to struggle out with Wash Load of the Day (late due to lovely dh giving me a sleep in to try to kick lurgi) and then have a good sit down

still feel quite ropey

Flamesparrow · 28/08/2006 10:39

LOUNGE Trinity!! Remember - ignore the rest if you've not been told to do it or you will be overwhelmed.

HERE are PreFLY lounge, and half flyed bedroom.

Hi everyone - I am a new recruit! (your thread last week sucked me in!) Just wanted to report that I have a nice shiny sink, and my bathroom has been swished and swiped etc. Happily we yesterday went to MILs house ALL DAY and didn't use any crockery in our house, so the sink was still as shiny this morning even though I didn't lift a finger last night... hooray! (who can we go and see today...?!)

Flamesparrow · 28/08/2006 10:42

Gonna eat my breakfast, do 15 mins lounge time, and then start blessing. Did bedding on Friday, so all sorted there.

So far this thing has cost me £30 on boxes and a new duvet (the airing pillow thing made me think about doing something with duvet, realised how hideous it was and that no-one could ever see it, so I bought a smartprice one from Asda - tis all fluffy and clean )

Flamesparrow · 28/08/2006 10:43

Oooh, and a big ARGH at DH... he got up in the night to do DD a second bottle - and must have put the milk dribbly thing on the sink!!! I came down and found A MILK RING!!!!!!!!!!!!

flossieteacake · 28/08/2006 10:51

Ooh just noticed that the missions are in the dining room zone anyway, even though we're in the lounge at the mo. okay... time to get out of my jimmys...

Cappuccino · 28/08/2006 10:52

trinity are you sneaking off to Other Rooms again?

can't you learn to do as you're told?

you'll be whining about your lounge next week and you'll have missed the boat

It has just taken me 50 minutes to change the bedding. How does anyone do that in 10 minutes FGS? It's ruined my enthusiasm for the rest of the weekly blessing as I'm bloody knackered. And i didn't even get around to ds1's bed.

zaphod · 28/08/2006 10:56

at people being able to start on their living rooms. Stomps off muttering.

Flamesparrow · 28/08/2006 10:58

I'm doing living room THEN blessing

trinityrhino · 28/08/2006 10:59

BTW done nothing yet, having to stop boys fighting lots, can tell is the last week of hols.

Flamesparrow · 28/08/2006 11:03

Are you signed up for the alerts from US & UK?

This week you should be decluttering your lounge, doing a quick general house clean (run a hoover round, but not obsessively round the edges, mop floors, change bedding etc), and today, moving all the cr*p in the hallway that doesn't belong there.

Flamesparrow · 28/08/2006 11:05

Yup, all videos... they need FLYing at some point - need to get rid of them all, and write a list of what we want to replace with DVDs as and when.

Tis DD's water bottle! "Nemo water" is good stuff. Water in a normal bottle from the tap isn't. Nemo water sneakily filled from tap when she isn't looking - is.

Hmmm do I need to do by back door too?

domestickler · 28/08/2006 11:08

Morning FLYers.

Today Ive swished and swiped, put my load in, changed DS's bed. About to start my blessing hour.

My entrance is sorted, although have a small hotspot to attend to then will declutter the living room.

Its a bit of an easy one for me this week as we have just redecorated teh living room so its all minimilistic.
