Weekly Flylady Thread 13th October 2008

Justamum

Well my list was very short today. I vacuumed downstairs and, er, that's it really. Don't know why but I'm feeling really down today. I really wish I had never come back last week after my brother's wedding. I could quite happily walk away and never look back

So much for my bloomin list today!!! I completely forgot I was taking my Grandma to Ikea.... :mad: :mad: :mad: I do love her dearly, but bloomin heck!!!!!! I drove halfway round the bloomin world, (other side of the city, and to another city, back to her's, and back to my side of the city.... half way round the world!!!) and all she wanted was a bloomin cutlery drainer!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

So by the time I'd done that it was time to pick the children up! I am SOOOOOOOOOOO tired now!!!!

AT least I mangaged to walk the dog first, and I did S&S the kitchen before I went out on the school run. Plus, unloaded and re-loaded the DW and WM and TD. Well a Level one is better than nothing I s'pose, but it's not the start I wanted for the week :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

ANd I know in the grand scheme of things it's not that bad but :mad: :mad: :mad: arrrrggggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*RANT OVER*

OK, Off to make dinner now!
Love you guys, thanks for letting me rant!

You have nothing to fear Beccah. Valli and I will take you under our wings and look after you;)

Just to enlighten you a bit. It's now a bit of a standing joke that Valli and I came out of the closet, so to speak, and confessed to only hanging out our washing using matching pegs. Coupled with the fact that Valli is a self confessed duster ironer. And I will only iron 15 items at a time.

But, all the joking aside. This is a lovely supportive thread. We're all really nice. Love a giggle (as you may have noticed) And each of us makes this thread special in our own unique way.

You'll love it here I'm sure. Though beware it can become addictive.

Right I'd better go to bed as it's silly o clock yet again and I reallly need to do some flying tomorrow.

Yeah she's right - telling you lot? I don't know what came over me...

In my HHC I hoovered the ground floor, cleaned the kitchen table and made some sausage rolls.

hugs for you Toots - if you feel like that then you need to pick a course that you really, really want to do. Some really interesting free stuff on the Open University site - http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/index.php

Evening all

Welcome back Justamum - keep your chin up pet.
Dusty - nice news on the cash win! I've always had BT Broadband and no problems with it.
Summermoon- good luck with the house viewing
Boddy - hoep your visit to your Mum was good - and your meeting and greeting.

Reasonable day at work - it was actually very quiet for once so I got stacks done. I'm off to fly in the kitchen now and then put my feet up for a bit. I'm pooped again today. I really MUST have an early night tonight - no excuses!
