Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd November 2008

Woo hoo things look better after that HHC.

Maybe I shouldn't be giving any of you tips, as you are all much better at flying than I am. But, I have 2 little tips that I find really help.

1. Have any of you ever heard of Don Aslett? I have some of his books and in "Is There Life After Housework?" he gives instructions for a 3 minute bathroom clean. I find that this done daily really keeps on top of things in the bathroom.

2. During a HHC I go from one room to the next and put 10 things away in each room. It only takes a few minutes, but it certainly makes a difference.

Thanks, lovelies............... we've been married 14 years now - his 2nd and my 1st - and we've been together for 16 years. Must be doing something right, 'cos we work together too!

Nice piece of rib-eye steak tonight (from the farm shop) with saute potatoes, mushrooms, baby veggies (poor little things ), got a bottle of Hardy's Crest Sparkling Wine (when it was on half-price at Sainsburys) chilling in the fridge. Also got a small box of Guylian Belgian Seashells to have with coffee YUM YUM!

Nice early night *wink* *wink*

Sarah and Diva, glad you are both feeling a bit better.
Johanne - sending hugs to you and your little one

Big hugs and positive energies to all who need them - good luck with the Head teacher, Chunky!

Hi

I've done nothing today:rolleyes: i have spent all morning at Toddlers though.

I had one hell of a migrane yesterday afternoon it was the worst one for a while so i'm glad i did all my flying in the morning;) .

I need to find some kind of list then get off my bum but i really can't be bothered:o .

Massive hugs for Joanne how are you feeling today?

Hugs for anyone else who needs them.

frazz - to defragment, go into your control panel - administrative tools - computer management - disk defragment. If you've never done it before can take ages but your computer will usually run the better for it

Justamum Poor you, that's not easy at all. If you don't mind me asking, and ignore me if you do, which AD's are you on/coming off?

I'm on Efexor (venlafaxine). I don't care how badly depressed I get in the future, I am never, ever going on these things again!
