Weekly Flylady Thread 20th April 2009

I'll join you a little bit late Froddy. Just wanted to say big hugs to Carol and Boddy.

Also, I've been to the gym, and completed my marathon challenge - I got to 6km and thought I could carry on (inspired by watching the London Marathon before I left) and managed to do my 8.09km in 40 mins (that is just over 5 miles), so I feel very proud of myself. I'm seriously thinking of entering the marathon (maybe in a couple of years) and will ask at my health check next Saturday how I should train - think I'll start off with a smaller run this year though to get used to running distances.

Have had lunch and all pots washed and dried.

Then decided to start the kitchen so have got most of that done. A good start for the week.

Will pass your kind words on to DD when I speak to her later. Thank you very much.

Having a cuppa now and relaxing.

sexymouse Well done on completing your marathon challenge.

toots xx

Studying (now bear in mind that I am doing this for 'pleasure') but I have a feeling that I have been happily trotting along on the wrong path so I will have to go back and start this section over again - and that is why I have been doing anything else I can think of.

evening :hello:

we are having a nice sunny day here for a change :j
tidied the house on the go; it hardly takes any time now to clean it :T (was very relaxed before the viewing )
went out for lunch with the kids (and got ds's shoes swapped too)

it's still sunny and warmish so i took the kids to the park earlier (for an hour) - they just had dinner and they'll soon go to bed :T

dh has left for work so i'll have the tv and bed all to myself

carol sorry to hear your sad news. please take it easy over the next few days

TAG not nice when you are feeling so down. i seem to come up on the other side slooooowly - are you sleeping any better?!?

PrincessJane good luck with your 'chat'! i agree you need to be able to have your own space without any invaders whenever they want to! :grouphug:

boddy sad news but good that your dd was at her side to the end! big hugs to all of them!!

Sorry but i haven't had a chance to catch up on the thread at all. Hope everyone is well. Big hugs, congrats, and drinks all round.

Spent all day yesterday cleaning the kitchen and i have scrubbed the life out of the cooker.:D I would like to think i'm nesting but doubt it.:rotfl:

I'm 38 weeks today and feeling excited one minute to tearful the next but i do think this baby is going to stay put until 40 weeks, (i hope not) i can't sleep at the minute and the heartburn is unreal. I just can't wait to meet him and get back into some sort of a routine. OH keeps asking me each day ''do you think it will be today'' how the kneck would i know.:rolleyes:

Sorry for the moan, just feeling like crap at the minute.

The good news is that we got chickens last week and the 3 girls have laid 17 eggs in a week.:eek: Should really start baking again.:rotfl:

Well done Froddy must be a good feeling - I am currently looking at all the clutter DD has left behind having gone back to uni today.

My garden now almost looks like a garden - dug out lots of those horrid blue weeds that look a bit like flowers (not exactly a gardener but I like to sit in it so make an effort to try and keep it reasonable )

Also run the hovermower over it so now there is lots of grass to rake up - but better than wading through the 6 inch grass that was there a little while ago. Decided to finish the job and try and trim some of the shrubbery to tidy up a bit but when I got the strimmer out I remembered that the last time I used it I was so enthusiastic I cut through the wire :rolleyes: I had fixed the cable but it's not working so obviously the fuse has gone so will need to get a replacement so that's a job I will have to do another day. Shame as I was on a roll, and it's really nice out there still in the evening sunshine. Pleased the weather forecast was wrong

Hiya
Hope you've all had a great weekend. We've had a lovely sunny weekend in the caravan and like a true flylady I cleaned and tidied it before we towed it home this afternoon. It's all ready for two weeks time and our next jaunt. I'll try and catch up later. Hugs to you all xx
