Weekly Flylady Thread 23rd February 2009

Evening all,

Just popping on quickly, as I haven't posted for a couple of days. Been really busy at school. The parent's evening tonight went really well and a couple of the parents asked why I can't stay and cover the class until the class teacher comes back. The class teacher is on long-term sick, but they're not sure when she's coming back, and they've got a fully qualified supply teacher in there covering. Trouble is, he had a leg infection this week and ended up in hospital, so I was called in again. If I didn't have my NQT year to do I'm sure they would've taken me on. Never mind, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that tomorrow after my trial day, I'll end up with a job to finish it in. I've been really nervous about it (and the parent's evening that I had tonight) all week and haven't been sleeping, so after a lay in on Saturday, I think I'll be able to get on with all of the lists. We're meant to be going to lunch with my toxic friend on Sunday, so will wait and see - last time she didn't turn up and went out with some other friend instead!

Hugs to Diva - you've been a really good friend, and I'll be thinking of you both.

Also hugs to Emily - I know when I moved house, it made me feel really unsettled and quite down too as moving is such a stressful time, and it may get easier for you when you've started to get the house in order. I know that I find it quite hard to cope with change, and this makes me feel down. I have depression too, and in times of stress it can relapse. You're in my thoughts.

Hugs to Sarah's DD - hopefully all of the tests are now over and you're having your treat.

Happy belated birthday to all of those who I've missed this week.

I've just been keeping up with the dailies, but the house is still fairly tidy. We managed to get rid of 5 charity bags full of clothes yesterday, so hopefully about 100 things decluttered.

Take care everyone,

sexymouse xx

PS thanks to everyone who has wished me luck for tomorrow.

Toots, I know there's a lot to read through and for you to keep up with the start chart aswell, it's only that big to draw it to your attention, not shout at you. Much appreciated if I can have my stars for yesterday and today and I really appreciate both you and pigpen doing this as my pigsty actually looks cleaner than a pigsty now thanks to this thread! :A

I was about to say I do not believe I have missed you again and then I remembered - I didnt give you a star for yesterday !
So I checked back just now bedore answering to see if you had answered my post number 694

Just so I dont get it wrong this week as well - have you done the 2 things on level 2 - its just that you said ' you will finish the rest of list tomorrow' so I cant give you a star yet!

toots xx

but I see you havent 'thanked' the post so I am guessing you never read it - so i didnt miss you after all - yes it is time consuming reading and checking but i took the job on and I try to be good at keeping the star chart but its inevitable that i will make mistakes.
I have given you a star for today and I am now going to pm you a link to this post (I hope) in case you dont read this post either:rotfl:

Right well have done the childrens sheets etc and have done the WM, DW and noe have the towels etc in the TD.



DH has been round to see the children but as I was a little tearful has said he couldn't handle it and has gone back home. He was looking really smart and I was finding it hard but I don't think he understand and now I seem to be taking it out on the children by yelling at them.

DH has told DS and he doesn't even seem fussed.

Sorry.

Toottifrootti I am with you with the bed covers , have a few sets and OH asked why I don't put another set on instead of waiting for the other one to wash and dry, and all I could say was "I like these ones!!)....he looked at me stupid!!
10 more things gone so only 25 things left and I'm gonna try and do a couple of 60 in 60's tomorrow...........
