Night FLYers.
Hope to be headache free by the morning!
Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow and i will be in when i get a chance tomorrow.(probably evening)

AmandaP · 04/09/2006 22:23

Okay, now i've been pondering this control journal lark. Those of you that have them and use them (as opposed to have them and keep them sitting somewhere useful because you will do it one day just not now).... can you convince me that they are worth it?

My dh is mocking me hugely about even thinking of having a CJ. Having been convinced to fly successfully over the past couple of weeks, I just wondered what difference a CJ would make...

over to you (well, in the morning, obviously) as we are all obeying one of the reminders and going to bed early!

Night all - good luck tortoise.

Jasnem · 04/09/2006 22:26

My uk emails are taking at least 12 hours to arrive. At this rate the US bedtime reminder (4am) will arrive first.
Can't help with the CJ. I'm going to be using a calendar instead.

domestickler · 04/09/2006 22:52

This is getting ridiculous now. I had a few dishes in the dishwasher. Not a full load though but didnt want to get up to them dirty so I hunted the house for things that could do with a wash.

I put in........the holder for the toothbrushes, kitchen roll holder, fruit bowl, tea bag cannister, perspex knife block thing to justify running it and they are looking soooo sparkly and lovely ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I also put a lemon in my dishwasher left over from my microwave cleaning earlier.

WTF has happened to me!

mummy2ashton · 04/09/2006 23:20

i'venot been flying very well today . i've just been so tired with just getting back from holiday yesterday and trying to get some washing done. i did manage 2 loads of washing and also ran the local breastfeeding support group today and did a bit of shopping, but i haven't even looked at my sink and it's probably not shiney!
tomorrow will hopefully be a better day!

Flamesparrow · 05/09/2006 07:49

lmao Dome

Control Journal - I have a little A5 book and it is helping.. although I have only been FLYing for just over a week, so haven't got into any routine without it iyswim.

DD's first ever morning school run (been doing afternoons before now), and we are organised enough for me to be on here !!!!

Flamesparrow · 05/09/2006 07:51

My mum has that slow cooker!!! I keep threatening o ne, but as much help as I think it would be, I keep thinking "its more stuff to store"

Flamesparrow · 05/09/2006 08:00

Hmmm... can't do today's mission... tupperware cupboard is in the diningroom, buried behind the rest of the stuff

tamsino · 05/09/2006 08:37

lol @ domestickler. I slipped a bit today as I'm shattered - pregnancy catching up with me now. But the sink is almost clean and DH did the dishwasher for me. Off out this AM so not sure I can face anything else.

P.S any way to turn off the testimonial emails? They get a bit boring....

Thanks

tamsino · 05/09/2006 08:38

Oh and Jasnem my emails to UK take about 12 hours to arrive too so I get my nighttime ones when i get up in the morning :-)

got an email today with preview of lyrics from forthcoming flylady cd!!

I'm Flying!

Well my sink is shining but I'm not whining I'm flying
I'm just a baby-steppin' and I'm not obsessin', I'm flying
I've got my list of things to do
And I'm ready for action in my lace-up-shoes
I'm no martyr, I'm just working smarter
I'm flying!

Well these piles of clutter could be blessing others so I'm flying
And while I'm flingin' you can hear me singin' "I'm flying"
I help my friends and family
But with routines in place I still have time for me
I can get things done while I'm havin' fun
`Cause I'm flying

(interlude)

I have no need to sing the blues
Do you know the system? Have you heard the news?
You can start today, I've found a better way
I'm flying!

Yes I'm flying!

FLYBaby

I heard the alarm this morning
But there's no time to snooze
Time to open my eyes
Time to moisturize
And tie my lace up shoes?

Soon a friend dropped by to see me
She said "You're some cleanin' whiz
You look so happy and you're dressed so snappy
Come on, tell me what your secret is!"

I said:
I'm a FLYbaby flappin' these pretty wings
I'm a FLYbaby sticking to my routines
And it won't be perfect tomorrow
And it won't be perfect next year
But I'm still flyin' baby
Gettin' my life in gear

Doo doo doo ?

I kick back after workin'
`Cause things are lookin' fine
The kids aren't screamin' and the house was gleamin'
And, Wow! that sink sure shined

I still have piles of clutter
`Cause I'm not Superman
But I'm not downhearted, I'm just getting started
And I jump in where I am!

(chorus)
`Cause I'm a?

Doo doo doo..
(key change and chorus)

Doo doo doo?

That surely is an inspriational cd!!

Morning all,
Ds's quilt in washer as he wee'd the bed last night.
Have done nothing yet, had a lot of cramping last night so taking it easy today.
Taking my little girl to hairdressers for the first time today ready for school tomorrow so that should be lovely .
What's the mission today? I don't have a top to my fridge either, so just cleaned the front yesterday.

shazronnie · 05/09/2006 09:20

Mission is declutter all your tuperware and plastic containers.

OP posts:

sorkycake · 05/09/2006 09:24

hehe we don't have any
ooh I'll have to have another cuppa!
maybe I should go to the detailed cleaning list......tomorrow

Jasnem · 05/09/2006 09:33

Morning,
I managed the school run, and gave the baby breakfast and got him dressed beforehand (I was planning on taking him in his pjs and doing it when we got back)
The washing is on, the sink is clean, and I'm making today my errand day, so I have a list of things to do this afternoon.
the rest of the house is messy considering the amount of effort I've been putting in to keeping it tidy, but I'm hopuing it won't take long to sort out.
Tupperware cupboard may have to wait this week.

SKYTVADICT · 05/09/2006 09:39

Hi all

Kids back to school today and its meant a new routine! I had to wait until I got back from taking them to get a shiny sink, put washing out and swish and swipe. Must try harder tomorrow!

Perhaps I could get up a little earlier than them?

I was dreading the tupperware/plastic cupboard. Mine is overflowing and I really don't feel like tackling it today and I also didn't do 15 mins decluttering in kitchen yesterday. Did clean front of fridge though.

Betta get on I suppose

misdee · 05/09/2006 09:52

i actually sorted all my bills last night, and paid them this morning. i am in total usually i am rummaging about the day before a bill is due and rushing into town to pay it. i just dont like leaving the paperwork lying about getting lost anymore.

btw, does anyone know where there i a childproof waste paper bin anywhere? i cant have one near my desk as dd3 likes to rummaging in bins.

mummyhill · 05/09/2006 09:59

Morning all not flyed yesterday as baby was unwell. am going to try to get on a bit today.

JessaJam · 05/09/2006 10:04

Weekly shop last night so no chance to do much FLYing. Did manage to hoover and mop the kitchen though! Will have to 'bless my home' tonight instead.

Cappuccino · 05/09/2006 10:18
