Weekly Flylady Thread 20th October 2008

Gryfon

I always feel like a mean mummy as I keep saying that they can't have x, y and z. At the moment I tell them to put it on their Christmas list and maybe they'll get it. Most of the time by the time we get out of the shop they've forgotten about it! Biggest girl wants a ride on Ferrari but I've told her that it's a tad bit expensive :rotfl:

I've just realised that I haven't had my MACAW on the list this week - shows how much I have been doing THAT! (was still trying to get the exercise into a regular routine...:o )

I am not going to give up on this, as I think it's such a great idea, but I have decided to give up on exercise at the moment as I think I am too worried about work, ect to think about that, and I will go for something else that I know I can do (baby steps...) going to put it in now and continue it next week - I will have routine...

My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is............. to make sure that all invoices/paperwork are entered/filed each day or placed in pending file if awaiting data......

TAG

Morning,
I've finally caught up with the thread of sorts. But can't remember alot of it TBH:o
But from the bits I can.
There's some good advice from Triker. and I love the toilet saga from AnW, I think it was:o

I said yesterday that the house was in a passable state. Well no more. It's finally tipped over the edge:rolleyes: I miss not being on here at the mo. Desperately missing the HHC. I so need a HHC or 50:rolleyes:

I'm working again today and tomorrow and Saturday. And I know the house is just gonna get worse and worse. DD broke up for half term yesterday:rolleyes: But my motivation has vanished. Mr Tag is doing a bit. i.e loading the DW, cooking tea (which he is finding a bit tedious now):rolleyes: and flicking the hoover over the LR. Yesterday he excelled himself and sanded down the coffee table in the middle of the kitchen. So:j cos he did it at last. But :mad: cos now there's a fine layer of dust everywhere:rolleyes:

The upstairs toilet has been blocked for 4 days. He threw a strop yesterday over it. But that has been his total contribution to solving it. Apart from dismantaling the toilet seat. So that now DD nor I can use it:mad::rolleyes: So I ended up donning rubber gloves, peg on nose;), and got on with it. Not pleasant. I got very wet but tis now unblocked.

I want my house back. I want my little routine back. I NEED MY SANITY BACK!! AAAAAAAARRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Sorry for the thoroughly miserable post. I'm just tired, frustrated and to top it off Aunt bloody Flo is visiting.

Right I must go and wake DS for his paper round and get ready for work. Hopefully I will find some motivation along the way and be back this afternoon for some flying. Even if it's just me dailies, that's something.
