Weekly Flylady Thread 20th October 2008

Evening all

Orkneystar sorry i miss read what you said earlier, it could well have been that.

Polka that sounds really odd who's going to want to pay that much for a deposit . I went to a wedding once where they said they didn't want presents as they already lived together and had everything they needed. They asked for money instead which is fine, but, they said the money had to be more than the meal cost:eek: .

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: at Pigpen's stepmother rant. I'm one of them but i am nice most of the time:cool: .

Still no flying done but dailies have been kept up i'll hopefully get my list done tomorrow but i'll have to see how i feel. I've cancelled Toddlers tomorrow , no one wanted to do it for me and i don't want to go and infect everyone.

Polkadot - first of all I want to give you massive hugs and well done on going a week. You're doing fab and your attitude will get you through. Regarding the wedding....I wonder how many people will suddenly find that they're 'busy' that weekend. What a ridiculous way to run a wedding. Ok, your wedding is taking a bit longer to happen but when it does happen it will be a fantastic day full of love and happiness because you're doing your wedding for you and your DF, in the right way and because you love each other. I know which wedding i'd rather go to!! Hugs xx

Shhh;) don't tell everyone:rotfl:

I'm liking tomorrows list, thanks i get all excited with new things:o

lil_me

Don't worry serena, it's not for long, mine only have 11 days off then they're back again grrrr!

**However I do actually prefer them being off school in general just because I HATE the morning rush, next week I will be waking up whenever they do and looking out to sea having a lazy morning, wander with the dogs instead of the frog march to school, ahhhh, bliss!**

boddy hope you are ok! ((hugs))

Sorry I have a really nice SMIL step mother in law, she's wonderful, it's the MIL who is many evil words!

Mudbath, does he fancy taking another 2? Something I unfortunately could never let DP do even if he wanted to because the kids would live on takeaways and he doesn't wake up when they do....

Really enjoyed that programme, amazing what 10 days with a strict family in another country can do to tearaway teenagers....

Pigpen that list suits me quite well for tomorrow, I still need to do the boys rooms ( need a dust, vacuum and linen doing) but that will hopefully cover most of what I was planning to do tomorrow.

Evening everyone, big hugs to all that need it. No flying done here today have been out and about most of it but plan on a very big clean up tomorrow so think i'll head to bed soon.

Got woken at 6.30 this morning but a !!!!!!!! sending a message for hubby (lets just say he likes to drag hubby down to drinking and other stuff at all hours and not telling him not to give a stuff about his family) anyway hubby was ripping that he would even get in touch but at that time when he knows we'd be sleeping.:mad: :mad: :mad:

Right i'm gonna head to bed, night all.

Serena and lil_me Yes a difficult client and the behaviour is worsening becoming aggressive to others. We are not allowed to restrain but had to try and hold her hands today as she was lashing out while other staff member was attempting personal care. Just aching from the wrestling and a couple of cuts and bruises. Have asked for restraining training for years.

I am going to a wedding in a couple of weeks. The couple have only invited people who they really want there. So I feel honoured to be asked.Its not lavish or over the top. Instead of presents as they have everything they have asked guests if they would like to donate to one of two charities. I think its a lovely way of doing things.
