    Ow ow owwwww! My Tuesday tinklings have been reduced to a Tuesday trudge. I was so careful walking into work this morning that I did something (God knows what) to the bones/tendon/muscle/bloody SORE bit on the outside of my left foot. Then, because I was trying to walk in a way that didn't make that hurt, my other foot started hurting! I managed to hobble home after eight agonising hours on my feet at work, and collapse into a chair, but I'm staying on me bum for the remainder of the day. Just going to do tomorrow's packed lunch, and level one (wipe counters and sweep floor).

    *sniffle* :(

    Hugs Hun, take it easy and rest up - hope it feels better soon... would a nice hot bath help??? :A

    OK i have heard of flylady, the wesite, so is this the same?
    What happens, do you post these lists from the website?
    So, if you follow what these lists say your house will gradually become clean and stay clean?

    Oh i bet i sound so thick lol!

    I'd love to join in but i just don't fully get it??

    Pretty much.. all is revealed in post #1.. :D.

    I write the lists each day, post new ones up about tea time.. sometimes alittle later if I am busy.

    But it does make a massive difference even to my grotesque hovel!

    We each have a list of daily jobs which we need to do.. the vital bits and pieces plus the daily list from post 1.. and we work through it all.. or as much as we can handle. Today I have gone off on a tangent and tidied up some if my bedsty!!

    Greenbee Happy Birthday, I was another one who the penny failed to drop with!

    Back from DS2s school waiting for DS1, don't know which taxi is bringing him, another has been arranged for tomorrow because of current contractor problems, poor kids going to be climbing the walls not knowing where he's at, can't be helped I suppose. Problem is 8.45am collection at earliest so need to either sort for DP to be in who was supposed to be out or DS2 will be late.....bother!

    Right, Beavers stuff, found the sweater but goodness knows where his necker thingamy is and having just looked at my list it reminded me, so I best get it found.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
