Weekly Flylady Thread 5th January 2009

Davgirl1

No hope of me catching up with the thread. Hope everyone is well and hugs to those that need them.
DH was eventually deposited at Heathrow - the roads round it were a nightmare today because of the ice. Got back just in time to pick the kids up from school and take DD swimming.
Since we got back I've done the DW and a load of washing. Got to empty DS bedroom in the morning ready for the carpet fitter and then I've got another Ikea wardrobe to build.
Will hopefully get chance to pop in a bit earlier tomorrow.
Night all.

So Nicki has been here since the forum was all new and shiny? Getting ALL her posts thanked is going to be a massive challenge then....

I've only been here about 18months. I have 32 left. Pretty please?????

Thanks for helping in motivating me. Have: tidied living room, straightened cushions, dusted and vacuumed; put shopping away and thrown mouldy bits out of fridge; tidied kitchen table and worksurfaces, dried up, washed up and dried up again; wiped all surfaces and cleaned sink.....

Even my toddler has a vague grasp of how to use a phone :rotfl: She's called people on my mobile before so I had to lock the keys, and she walks around with a phone cradled on her neck going "hello, hmmm, yep, uh huh, oh, hello, ahhh, bye"

My 3 year old does that too :rotfl:

Marvellous day two of being fly and so far so good. I seem to have kept other areas (other than what's been covered so far in MOnday and Tuesday tidier/cleaner too). I guess it becomes second nature.

Vibes to all those who need them, safe return vibes, anti-strangley vibes, and keep warm vibes.
If you could return the favour and send me some "don't up-chuck until the PE kit is washed and dried" vibes, I would be very grateful.

Feel shattered now.

I've done as much as I can for the day.

Hoping DS3 will be well enough for school tomorrow. His earache goes for several hours at a time and then spikes back for a while.

I'm yawning already so will not be going to bed late.

Indigo safe travel vibes for your DS
Rach hugs hun - dieting can really make you down if you suddenly cut out lots of carbs.

Thanks soappie, I know you're right...tonight it was still lightish when i left (snuck out just after 4.30pm ) and before that I realised for the first time (due to a lovely sunset) that I can see the gherkin from an office window!

I've been here almost as long as nicki and remember before old style and before the thanks button!
