Morning all,

Thanks for the instructions to do nothing I am full of cold and tired but nothing else happening with bump which is a relief. Only 7 weeks (or less) to go...

Today's mission sucks for me as DHs bedside table is awful.

There is a P.S on the mission saying if you have any nice bedding get it washed and ready for Friday's mission.

Have a good day all

I have to say..my bedside table has nothing but a stereo on it...the cot is on the other side of the bed!
I could always find a nice picture though....

I missed the shiny sink tips...my sink just won't shine it is stainless steel...but most definately stained! the bottom is tea coloured..
how do you get yours shiny??

mummyscaryhouseonthehill · 25/10/2006 08:38

Off to find my sink to shine it.

batinshoes · 25/10/2006 08:38

I use Cif or Shiny Sinks and leave it for a bit then wipe it down with a cloth. The stains will come out but you might need a bit of elbow grease.

Here are the fly sink shining tips but i think they are a bit extreme

Happy birthday Rebecca.

Scribble - love the new name

To remove tea stains use biological washing powder and very hot water, and soak (works on cups etc too)

I did do yesterdays mission eventually, and we have no bedside tables, so I will clean the windowsill instead.

Just noticed mummyhill...hello go shine your sink!

SusiSkelletonInTheCloset · 25/10/2006 09:35

rebecca have a fab day today!!! and jarm: kids only today

welcome back mummyhill - you can do it!! you can do it!! don't make me get my pompoms out and wave them around

made my bed, kids and i are dressed and well, that's it
bedroom is always a tricky one because dp sleeps till 2ish pm and then there are so many other things to do

asleep · 25/10/2006 09:35

happy birthday rebecca! hope you all have a lovely day!

we're getting a new dining table (MIL's old one - it's gorgeous!). so DP has been arranging for a local charity to pick up ours tomorrow.

and our heating is finally working again!

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 25/10/2006 09:38

i will confess to having tidied kitchen (dishwasher,surfaces etc) and hoovering lounge, but that is IT!

NO MORE!

Waiting for dad to get here and then we are off out!

ludaloo · 25/10/2006 09:42

right...sink shining it is then...
thanks bat
Do you think an "SOS pad" is the same as a brillo pad???????

Skribble · 25/10/2006 09:46

Morning all, I wasn't pissed honest I just struggled to type one handed due to the crackers and pate.

Mission nul and void, they are still clear from last month. So I really should get my clothes sorted.

My sink is white plastic and will never shine, so I just make sure it is really clean and always clear.

bigfatbump · 25/10/2006 09:49

MOrning
Day Three for me.
Tbh hadn't expected so many emails, but I guess I won't see them till I'm home as work won't let me into yahoo to change my email address to work.
So I have a shiny sink (actually dh is loving the flylady and has already become a bit obsessive about the sink lol), a wash in and we are all dressed - just as well as am in work. My shoes are on but that may change.

When I was looking throught the website did I dream it or was there a page with today's emails collected in one place?

So tonight is bedside tables, I've got off lightly this week as the bedroom is probably the neatest part of our house, I won't know what's it me next week.

Happy flying everyone

tessasmum · 25/10/2006 09:52

Ludaloo - not sure but wouldn't use a brillo pad on stainless steel. I did the bleach thing (used toilet duck actually ) and then stainless steel cleaning stuff and elbow grease!
HTH

Skribble · 25/10/2006 09:53

I just unsubscribed from the e.mails as I can get all the info I need from the fly site and the support from here. I never read any of the testimonials and didn't find the reminders helpful.

I just followed the baby steps here Baby Steps

jasnDISMemBERED · 25/10/2006 09:56

bfb - you didn't dream the email page...you can also get them all sent in a "daily digest" instead of indiviaually - I do this and then just delete one unread email a day instead of 15!

I'm not dressed
Will sort myself out, and not come back until after lunch. Send me a way if you see me before 1pm please.

Cappuccino · 25/10/2006 09:57

I'm going to count how many days before there's a mission without the word 'love' in it

Skribble · 25/10/2006 10:01

Or "have fun with this".

I am not dressed yet, half term TV has buggered upmy schedule, so I will watch escape to the country or what ever it is and then get showred and dressed, might put another load on now.

bigfatbump · 25/10/2006 10:02

jasnDISMemBERED, how do I get to the email page? I can't seem to find it.

Cappuccino · 25/10/2006 10:03
