Weekly Flylady Thread 11th May 2009; *** stars at post 804 ***

LilySue

Thank you Lilme for your advice...I will ask my son what word pad is ( yes I am a computer klutz as well as a housework one ). Have saved a search on ebay for the breadmaker

My first hhc turned into a hc....argghh the inside of my oven was nasty. I know when I used to read the original flylady mails ( had to stop it, lovely woman, but I was spending all my time reading and her shoe thing was just weird ) she went on about the problem of being a perfectionist instead of doing good enough housework...think I may have a problem here, so have called the oven " good enough " for this week.

Ds and I have had lunch, so Jet77 I am in for another HHC.

Just a heads up - hoping you've all noticed the info at the top of the page :

Forum will be closed at 4.30 for minor upgrade - downtime should only be about 30 mins apparently ...I see a HHC

Good idea for the 4.30 HHC- I'm in!

Thanks for the ideas re job situation - the agents have e-mailed them, and I phoned today - they are not easy to get hold of! I would just like a little personal feedback, to understand their reasoning. It would help me address why the same thing is happening over and over!

Have done kitchen - a mountain of dishes, all surfaces Zoflora'd, tiles and sockets scrubbed, 2 loads of washing, cleaned oven and hob - looking a whole lot clearer now.

Motivation for getting whole house done - evening of relaxed knitting, wine and cake. I can't understand why I'm still single!!!:rotfl:
