And i told her mine had gone mouldy! Well if it wasn't for floor bloke coming i would of gone when the rain stopped!
They have gone to think in the van about what to do!

TortUREoiseChamber · 16/10/2006 13:53

!
Looks like they won't be doing the floor! They are not allowed to move appliances(I was told they do) and obviously i have no-one who can help me do it!
They have gone back out to the van to phone someone!!!

Glad it's getting done tortiose.

I flagged a bit this afternoon, but have almost finished the kids room...beds still to make but I have to do that so they can sleep tonight.
Clothes need sorting out but I'm going to hide them in the cupboard and do it tomorrow.

Its looking much better but not sure how long it will last! New tiles being glued onto old tiles. Old tiles were coming up so expect new ones to soon! At least the bathroom will have a floor i can wipe!
But its meant after a good start ive done bugger all!

Apronscreams · 16/10/2006 16:34

just done my first fly!!
The bathrooms look great and I have a binbag half full of old toys, makeup etc etc. We are getting ready to sell the house so this kind of decluttering is perfect.

Is the fly daily?

TortUREoiseChamber · 16/10/2006 16:35

Well its all done but as expected its not a great job! Some tiles a slightly up already where the old ones were coming up.
Also I now have a bathroom door which won't shut!
He said 'by the way bathroom door doesn't shut,the door just needs a bit taken off it'! Love to know how the hell im suppose to do it.And i'd already told them im on my own! Now have to put everything back as well as still needing to get bread for the morning and cook tea.

TortUREoiseChamber · 16/10/2006 16:41

Hi apronscreams
Yes we FLY daily.different Zone each week.

scarymaryme · 16/10/2006 16:51

hmmm...haven't done diddly today! Forgot I was looking after friends dd this am, she and my ds made more mess than I could possibly tidy up!
Then had to go to town to the bank.
Just cooked supper and put a load of washing in...does that count?
Also dropped a whole bottle of milk which took forever to clean up! ARGGHHHHHHH!!!!!

shazdisembodiedronnie · 16/10/2006 16:51

hello apronscreams! Glad you like flying - I am a convert!

Still need to get started again though after my hol - about to tidy the kitchen now we've ate tea.

scarymaryme · 16/10/2006 16:53

will have to catch up with the bathroom tommorrow I think.

scarymaryme · 16/10/2006 16:56

Hi Apronscreams...I'm fairly new to FLYing too, but it does make a huge difference! Its nice to know other people are doing the same thing as you all day...good motivation

Apronscreams · 16/10/2006 16:58

Thank you - what a nice welcoming thread.

See you all tomorrow!

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 16/10/2006 17:00

i honestly dont know where i would be without these daily threads.... my DH is so chuffed with coming home to a tidy house, and not having to spend his evenings cleaning.

Our weekends are our family time again, just like they should be, and to be honest - i was a lazy mare and should have tried a lot harder, but while i had 2 tiny tiddlers at home, i had no energy!

Jsut by getting into a routine of doing it daily, and having the support here, has changed both my mental state and my marriage no end!!!

peegeeweegeeWITCH · 16/10/2006 17:10

Hi Apronscreams - welcome

I have only been flying for 2 weeks (well, 1 really as the second week I had no time ) but must say it is very easy to get motivated. I echo all jessicaandrebeccasmummy has said - it makes such a difference...

Have done well today, have hoovered kitchen and dining room (loads of mud from yesterdays gardening session) and then started on the bathroom. I decluttered a few weeks ago, so today I cleaned the window inside and out, cleaned mirror, sink, bath and toilet....

Lots still for me to do in the bathroom, so will carry on tomorrow!

TortUREoiseChamber · 16/10/2006 17:14

Im going to go to town now and get bread. Might stop at the chip shop on the way past!! Can't be bothered to cook. Ive got lots to do in the kitchen later.
Ive also just found blood drips on my radiator and bathroom floor from the younger lad that was helping do the floor.Yuk!

Hi everyone Loads of chatting today. 96 posts, I dont think I will read back today.
Hi to newbie, hope you get to enjoy FLYing

I am a bit mixed up today. XP2 has been found and hes in some sort of hospital/home. I am not sure what it is. He has been there for nealy 6 months, so it cant be him that beat up XP1. I dont know wahts going to happen now.
I have done my bathroom, decobwebed and I have wiped all the walls and tiles down again. Theres nothing to sort out in there as I did that last time.
I have done 2 loads of washing and dried and even put it all away.
We had rain here for most of the morning, muggy feeling though. It got drier this afternoon but a lot cooler too. I am feeling a bit chesty at mo. I dont know if its a cough coming for just the weather.
Tea is in the oven cooking and will soon be ready for us to eat.
Hope everyone have had a good day FLYing
I have not done my blessing yet, I am going to do that tomorrow

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 16/10/2006 17:33

That more than Yuk tortoise. Thats bad for them to leave their blood. From the few bits I have read, it sounds like you have had one of those day and its not going to end to quick either.
Big Hugs to you {{{{{{ tortoise }}}}}}

P.S you have a chippy that is open on Mondays?

Lucky you!!
