Morning all. Did my mirrors on Tuesday

Happy birthday to nikkie for yesterday.

Is anyone watching I'm a celebrity? it means I now get nothing done in the evenings either

Today i just need to clean sink and loo in ensuite and then bathrooms all done. Living room is a tip but mainly toys so wont take long to fic. Might take DD for a haircut though.

Have a good day all

Morning all....

I really have to do my tumble dryer...dh is always tutting at how much fluff builds up...and I feel very bad now as I don't want it to be the start of a fire!!

My car is going in to be fixed today which means LOTS of walking in the rain

tinshoes · 15/11/2006 07:45

So, why DOES all that fluff build up in the tumble drier?

ludaloo · 15/11/2006 07:47

The amount of fluff in mine! It makes you wonder how you actually have any clothes left!!!!

Quootiepie · 15/11/2006 07:59

Whos Nikkie? Happy Birthday anyway!

Not watching Im a Celeb - I dont really watch TV...

Mission done & bathroom scrubbed, DH always cleans the filters in the washing machine/drier (makes me gag) sp thats done aswell. Kitchen scrubbed spotless last night, so I guess I should whip the hoover around the living room... but ill do that later!

Happy Birthday Nickie (for yesterday)

tinshoes · 15/11/2006 08:10

Nikkie joined us a couple of days ago

Quootiepie · 15/11/2006 08:12

Sorry, I have cross-posted this into Tuesdays by accident. I'm not awake yet...!

It's not just me imagining it, Kelly really is losing it this week I'm afraid - she keeps changing her mind on what the missions are!

On Monday, when I posted the thread first thing, it was the bathroom declutter, later it changed to clean out unwanted washing powder etc etc. Now I've just noticed that yesterday's 'clean the taps' mission was been replaced by 'clean bathroom mats and clean top of washing machine'.

I think that sneaky FLYlady is trying to get us to do extra work this week!!!

Quootiepie · 15/11/2006 08:49

LOL @ the missions... sneaky!

Morning flybabes
Well i'm starting the day ahead then if thats the mish.Did bathroom last night whilst tots were in bath so mirrors cleaned.I also emptied the filter on dryer yesterday yay!!
Does the washing machine have a filter?I've never noticed it.

Haven't seen i'm a celeb' who's in it this year ?The thing that annoys me about these 'celeb' programs and there are loads ,is they always have a load of z list t*!£%^s as the cast.WHERE'S THE BLOODY FAMOUS PEOPLE??(Sorry for shouting).Well that's what i'd like to know anyway.
All i seem to get to watch is c beebies followed (at 7pm)by Nick jnr then if i'm really unlucky the baby channel which is on alll night long.The tots can be no where near the tv but if i dare to turn over they go mad.I wouldn't mind but they've got cable in the playroom,wish i'd put it in bedroom now..

tinshoes · 15/11/2006 11:12

Hi all,

Have done nothing except try to sort out how many books I have for each age group at DS's school for our book fair next week.

DS was supposed to have swimming first thing but has a bad cough so I kept him off till after swimming - took him in at 10.30.

But have had a day with my house full of "staff" LOL! Cleaner comes every Wednesday. Also gardener (it's a rented house and part of our tenancy agreement) and today we also have a "handyman" from DH's office doing some repairs! DH lauged at me with all my "staff"!!! Wish one of them would make ME a cuppa though - have made 12 cups of coffee and 2 lots of sandwiches so far!!

EllieHsMum · 15/11/2006 12:53

Can I join in..? I've put on a load of dark washing. Squirted loo cleaner down the loos, wiped out the bathroom & small toilet. Unloaded dishwasher. Just getting ready to head out to our first baby signing class with baby daughter who is nearly 6 months. She is presently having a power nap. I'll iron tonight, same as last night once the wee one is in bed. I'll also make the evning meal which is chicken pasta as my hubby as a meeting tonight. I hope this is the ype of thing I am supposed to let you know about

tinshoes · 15/11/2006 12:55

welcome EllieHsmum!

EllieHsMum · 15/11/2006 12:59

Thanks Tinshoes, I am off for now madamepeepee peardrop has woken from her power nap!

Quootiepie · 15/11/2006 13:02

Welcome EllieHs - thats the stuff! Basically, we all madly compete with housework () and do the daily missions (see link at bottom for todays). You can start on baby steps (theres 31) or just wade right in. We all just kinda do our own thing, and encourage and boast on here though Or say how little we are doing and await kicks up the bottom.

Hi.
All i have done is take DS's to school and sat with DD's at toddler group!
House is (as usual) a tip. Lots to get done but bugger all getting done. Just have lunch then do something i suppose.
