Weekly Flylady Thread 8th January 2018

Bedrooms aired whlst I did ironing and put away 1 load of washing, TD & WM both reloaded.

Coffee made and 'Frog' on the kitchen table so going to go through and see what else I need. I know I will need to print and printer is out of black so will go and get that later but want to see what else is needed first.

Off I go!

(((Hugs))) Mumof2. I'm having similar problems atm and have an appointment with the GP tomorrow. The pain alone is enough to get you down, let alone the financial worries. Keep posting on here and we will all do our best to help you through this difficult time x

This morning I have made phonecalls, paid a bill, started typing up a service booklet and made :coffee: It doesn't sound much

Thank you; it's horrible and the pain is just always there. I'm seriously contemplating taking a month off to see if it gets better and then slowing starting to build again. So sorry to hear that you are suffering too.

Good Afternoon Ladies,

Hugest of hugs to you Mumof2.Please forgive me if I have missed something, but has J had any luck finding work? You know you can always log on here and find some listening ears. Chin up chick xx

J has been offered a job BUT it's subject to satisfactory security clearance and so far we haven't heard anything and it's awful just having to keep waiting and waiting for things to come through. J has a nagging feeling something has happened (he had a couple of run ins in his previous job and is scared that it may have affected their response to the checks - none of which were his fault) and he's not feeling confident so is a bit down which in turn makes me feel worse cos I can't earn very much due to stupid arm and hands injuries.


Thanks to both of you for your support and I know I can post on here - nerves are starting to jangle a bit!


Flying wise I've taken the wet washing out of the machine. Not a lot really!

((Hugs)) Mumof2. Honestly sometimes I don't fly at all despite the intentions, so you are doing just fine. And I don't have constant pain to contend with.

Fabulous news, Lynne :T

I think I was awake for most of last night thinking anything over and over again. The result was that I went into work for a couple of hours to start preparing a report which I need to get done for next week, and for which I seem to develop a complete mental blank when I look at it. As it is only done twice a year, I think I manage to blank it out of my mind, so each time it is like the first time!

I had to take DD for an appointment after that (on the very-long-list-of-things-I can-worry-about-in-the-dark-list). She was a bit stunned after it, but still had the effects of the anaesthetic. Now that has worn off, she is on the pain killers for the next couple of days. I've been checking on her every 5 minutes, and ticking off bits of flying as I go. WM run, downstairs toilet cleaned, ensuite given a good going over, even the blind which was grim and has been on my list for....a while. Ironing done, stair and hall paintwork wiped - a random job I found myself doing, just because I had a bucket of hot water and a cloth in hand.

Slinky challenge still appears to have to get off the ground. H2H not doing much better, although I am having a rethink on what I need to do in the spare bedroom and utility room. Hopefully then I can make a difference. Just having a cuppa then I might force myself to sort out the top drawer in the kitchen. DH has been using it a dumping ground, so I am sure there are treasures that can leave the house. 3 melon ballers anybody??:rotfl:
