Weekly Flylady Thread 2nd March 2009

Dustykitten

I've done a lot of gardening today but not much else. I now know where I go wrong - the sun comes out and go out into it!

Had a friends girls until after tea too as she is in hospital.

DS2 is better this evening and ate his dinner. I feel ok but still have waves of pain and feeling queezy - must just be a bug.

Phil - thanks for sharing, I wish you well with your decision. Could you encourage your wife to put a few bits one bay - you'd probably get more than at a boot sale and the process would then be started.

Must ring SiL before beaver pickup. I haven't gone to visit Nan in case I take a bug into the hospital. Then time to check in with my new found techie friends.

Hi to all the newbies

Hope you are all well.

toottifrootti

thanks phil and commiserations on your situation - stress and depression is not easy - many of us on here suffer so you are in good company! thanks for sharing - I hope you get back to where you were/want to be -hopefully getting your end date will be a start foryou.
You made a good start today :T - it takes a while to get into routines but I am sure you will be using your time well - but dont be a recluse - its not good for you! we have several teachers on here so you will relate well to their situations!
As dusty suggested - ebay would be a good place to start and you could easily master it while you are at home - its amazing what people will buy and it is far easier than standing in the cold on a sunday morning!!
Its also nice to see/hear of a man taking an interest in the house and the saving money - be sure to pass on any good tips wont you!!!
ZCC72 we dont use the word f**lure here - its a swear word!!!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I would say you got a bargain - but you are banned from doing any more of it until your daily list is done!! i think I will have to check up on you!!!!:D
flower (((hugs))) angel -you ahve certainly had your problems with DS but now ... as well as his school work you need to get him roped in at home - maybe if he realises that he cant just laze around at home he might well buck iff ....if he gets another chance at school/college that is.
quillion WTG!!!:T :T
betty blue - but now you have a list to do so you will be more focussed - well done!:T :T
dusty glad Ds is a bit better - dont you dare catch it! good luck with the virus:eek:
G&B hope DD is better today
sorry but for the life of me I cant remember who the other poorly LO was - hope they are feeling better.
casleigh by doing it in reverse you have hopefully left the easy bits til last!!! well done on your first full list.

have spent the afternoon doing all sorts of little bits and bobs

Oh cooeeee Toots - a star please! I have flown in the kitchen and done my personal chores

The DW so far is behaving itself mostly. It did have a dodgy half hour or so when it said it STILL had 130 minutes to go and then within 10 minutes had jumped down to 86 minutes to go... But, I had a sneaky peak and at least it has done some washing instead of just spitting out the powder and doing nothing! Only another 12 minutes to go before I find out if it's actually completed the job...


[STRIKE]As well as the kitchen,[/STRIKE] I need to:

• [STRIKE]Invoice[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Speak to upstairs about insurance[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Pay elec bill[/STRIKE]
