gibberish · 13/06/2007 17:24

Ooh, no bold words...

yaddayah · 13/06/2007 17:28

ahhh gibberish and if you'd done the bold words you might have got a special prize for being the best student !

Very impressive done list

purpleturtle · 13/06/2007 18:35

Well,

done 15 mins of something? must have done 15 mins of something. Does MN count?
know whats for dinner? Eaten it: egg salad
drunk water today? Nah. I only do diuretics. Although all the coffee contains water.
done the mission? No . washed the b athmat on Monday. Screen ok with a daily s&s. Nothing in 'dungeon' to give away, because I try to keep on top of that.
done a 2 minute hotspost? I think so. Was very busy while dh took dd to school, anyway.

And that, ladies, is why I'm ashamed to show my face round here! Thanks for making me feel welcome, although gibberish, with lists like that I might soon take fright!

gibberish · 13/06/2007 18:39

yadda Drat! I want a special prize... wonder what happened to the bold words - I even put the stars round the words. Very weird. It's an MNHQ conspiracy.

Not such an impressivelist really as I can only do the housework over two days. So looks like loads just because it is done in a oner (IYKWIM).

gibberish · 13/06/2007 18:41

Oops sorry purpleturle (love your name BTW). Is just a weeks housework crammed into a day - out of necessity not insanity lol.

gibberish · 13/06/2007 18:42

Errr, that ofcourse was meant to be purpleturtle

purpleturtle · 13/06/2007 18:45

Have just added to my list of achievements: wipe up poo from kitchen floor, and spot clean front room carpet. THough a bit of nappy-free time might clear up ds2's bum a bit. Oh well, one less nappy to wash.

yaddayah · 13/06/2007 18:47

gibberish you have to put the * around each word.. if you leave a space in the middle it does nothing

ie

bold word space left so no
bold word two sets of stars so hopefully yes

gibberish · 13/06/2007 19:00

Ooooooh I seeeee

Duh

Hehe.

Well, it's just not very convenient on a Fly thread is it? Just think how much clutter I could have thrown out in the time it took me to put little stars round every word!

Flame · 13/06/2007 20:05

GS

I am trying to obsessively FLY properly, so if I come on here I will end up giving you little announcements about what you should be doing during the day... will you all be offended and throw things at me??

GlassSlipper · 13/06/2007 20:11

Flame - your nagging really helped me and tbh unless I stick to the true FLY stuff then I dont get anything done which is why I love you sooo much

tortoise · 13/06/2007 21:07

Hi all.
Welcome Purpleturtle. Good name
have been to mother and toddler group this morning and park after lunch before picking DS's up so not much time inbetween for tidying up.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

SimplySparkling · 13/06/2007 21:32

Hello to everyone.

A quick post for me as I need to do some houswork tonight. The tea stuff is still out. Dh is away atm so the kids and I walked the dog straight after tea, without clearing up or we'd have run out of time. In a mo I'm going to empty the d/w, reload it and sort out the kitchen as much as I can without disturbing ds sleeping upstairs. I'm also going to get to bed by 10.30pm, taking my book with me.

Done:-
~ lots more e-mails incl scouts one
~ buy baby gift
~ buy body spray, hankies
~ work from 9am until 3.30pm - did shopping in lunch break (normally the bare minimum (20 mins) at my desk) so must get extra brownie points for that!

My to do list from yesterday and today:-
~ write e-mail to cousin in good time for b/d
~ ironing
~ carry junk back to spare bedroom, sorting out as much as poss
~ feed a neighbour's cat last thing
~ e-mail friends and family
~ order christening gift once info rec'd
~ tomorrow morning take car to garage for service
~ post baby gift

Right. I'm going to sign off now and do what I can to tidy up. See you tomorrow!
