I'm not listening!

Home Blessing Hour 10 mins on each task - only 10 mins. What doesn't get finished doesn't get finished. Tis not the end of the world, just start there next week.

When I was FLYing last time I was doing 1 part of the home blessing each day... If ya want I can just post one of the jobs each day?

For those doing one part a day - today I have done changing sheets.

OP posts:
GlassSlipper · 28/05/2007 16:10

I have hoovered everywhere downstairs. Will do upstairs tomorrow.

Changed all sheets yesterday.

Flame · 28/05/2007 18:34

I've hoovered in the lounge, did our sheets, the kids were done on Saturday due to wet beds and bottle leaks

My sink is technically shiney (we're ignoring the dishes waiting to be washed).

Mission complete.

I'm off to prettify myself for my date

GlassSlipper · 28/05/2007 20:34

aw lovely. Happy Anniversary for yesterday.

I have done this, this morning, as it is on my PC as my morning routine and I've decided to have no MN each day until it is done .

  1. Make bed
  2. Swish & Swipe bathroom
  3. Put a washload in
  4. Empty dishwasher
  5. Clear away breakfast things

Must go and drink some water.

Off out with DDs in a bit.

PeckaRolloverAgain · 29/05/2007 09:13

Hi everyone

I had a VERY productive day. I cleared out my playroom/conservatory and I am not kidding when I say I got rid of at least 90% of what was in there.

The kids were just getting completely overwhelmed with everything that was in there and there was soooooooooo much mess - So liberating to get rid of the lot!!

Also sorted out both kids bedrooms and got rid of some junk from the garden so made some good headway.

The house was really starting to get my down - I am 10 weeks pregnant and because I feel so sick and tired I have let it slide and it really makes me feel down when its a tip!

This morning I have emptied dishwasher, swished and swiped bathroom.

Will go and do laundry now

Happy Anniversary Flame Hope you had a good night xxx

GlassSlipper · 29/05/2007 16:24

just done a 2 min hotspot. is anyone else around or do you all have exciting RLs?

Flame · 29/05/2007 17:44

Sorry - been in the real world all day and have done nothing!!

If you've not done so - go spend 15 mins hoovering

PeckaRolloverAgain · 29/05/2007 20:20

Thanks Flame

I have done the living room mission (and found £2.75 down the sofa!)

Also had a productive day in the kitchen

Have made : Lemon Drizzle Cake
Orange Drizzle Cake with chunks of chocolate
A summer fruit Crumble
An Apple crumble

Have got grandparents coming to visit tomorrow so will clean downstairs in the morning ready for them to come and eat my goodies!

Hope everyone has had a nice day xxxx

GlassSlipper · 29/05/2007 20:24

Congrats pecka

Flame - I have hoovered downstairs as I have someone cominmg over tomorrow. No mission for me as we have a leather sofa with cushions that dont come off

Bouquetsofdynomite · 29/05/2007 20:27

Hey there ladies, have been attracted in by mention of Mr G (has anyone seen him as the devil in The Pick of Destiny?)
Lapsed Flyer here (from last summer)but did shine my sink last week for visitors.
Can't look under my sofa, I just can't, not even if Dave Grohl himself was coming over to check it. Apart from the fact it's fecking huge and there's no space to move it to, we have a slug issue due to badly done floorboards and I refuse to get my head out of the sand. This week a piece of jigsaw puzzle wriggled its way out from underneath and clearly has had its face eaten off by slugs.

Flame · 29/05/2007 20:34

Aww @ the puzzle. Still not seen pick of destiny (sore point with me & DH - I wanted to go to cinema and he didn't... he won ).

I'm restarting since last summer too buckets

Pecka... can I come to your house tomorrow too????

OP posts:
GlassSlipper · 29/05/2007 20:56

I remember you too buckets but had a different persona then....

please dont out me if you work it out but here is a clue - heavy footwear > halloween mammal in footwear > silky footwear. If you cant work it out after that then imagine i'm a newbie

day 16

5 min mission today

I need to catch up on dishes, sink and work

OP posts:
Bouquetsofdynomite · 30/05/2007 10:51

Doc Marten the Rat in Totes Toasties?

Think I can manage today's mission as am stuck in the house (although therefore should do significantly more ). DH has just started new meds and has been up all night with horrendous side effects, can't leave him home alone and there's no way he'll want to leave the house, poor sausage.

GlassSlipper · 30/05/2007 11:29

lol. never mind. we'll just have to make friends from scratch

my RL friends have just left and every toy dd owns is on the floor - eek!

themaskedposter · 30/05/2007 11:36

Hi All!

Argghhhhhhhhh ... gotta play catch-up now (as I have been a very bad FLY-er for the last week and a half ... I have kept the house pretty clean and tidy - but the sink needeth shining etc)

Mind you, FLY-ing will be quite ok today as DD is driving me to distraction trying to show me she is the boss , so it may give her pause for thought!

Hope you are all well (and that you had a nice anniversary dinner on Monday Flame!)

Right-ho then ... off I go

redhedjane · 30/05/2007 20:01

so much happening on the thread, and so little in my house..

Belated best wishes flame, hope you had fun, and congrats Pecka hope that sickness goes away.

Well yesterday managed to do sofa and magazine rack thing and DH hovered. Sink has been shiny at times. work and sleeplessness taking over in RL - why oh why didn't i get one of those amazing sleep-through-the-night babies?!?
