    i've requested to join the FB group. i've never attempted the flylady thing, but i'm hoping i can gain some inspiration from you guys as i've got SO much stuff that needs doing on a daily basis, but it all seems so overwhelming and i never seem to get the motivation to get off my bum and just DO IT! :o

    i'm hoping that breaking it all down will help a bit! :D

    I knew it was going to be a bad day, I could feel it in me water - well my garden now is paddling in black smelly water again - OH going to look at it after work and left a message for some drain people to come out - I don't need any more storms today.

    Lunch!!!
