Valli and fedup - good luck for today
Me (hugs)

Third time of typing this and getting fed up.

Jobs to do today:
Clean out the chickens and work out where they are laying
Deal with the dirty clothes mountain and PUT THE RESULTS AWAY!
Do something with the boys that involves zero/minimal spend
Find a charity shop where I can park in front!
Clean out my car
Find my lost tax disc
and do some form of exercise :j

I agree with mudbath and dustykitten - I too will be joining the S&S brigade for the summer, and then have a room by room deep clean in September.

Holly H and PP, joining you late.

We're incredibly lucky... there's an expert for everything on this thread! So it's not just the flying it helps with, it's a great network for all sorts of aspects of life. I hope the EA survives soappie's phone call...

I've had my meeting at the school (walked there and back which is 10 minutes each way, so have a 3000-step head start for the day!), so ought to think about dragging myself into the office... I have a few meetings and then my team's mid-year reviews to complete.

Tomorrow I'm at home all day, with a hour blocked out to attend an audit at the school. Otherwise I will be doing my personal paperwork for work (expenses, mid-year review, printing out payslips, checking contracts etc) and hopefully some flying as I have a whole week's lists to catch up on.

We've been sent some stuff on swine flu by our business continuity team, so I will dig that out, plagiarise it and post it here, as it is sensible, objective advice. We've had several cases at work now in various locations, so yet another reason to avoid the office! I'd recommend that anyone who is able to work from home should do so, as offices are germy places... and if you are in the office and have opening windows, open them to make sure the place is well ventilated.

Soappie is right about the need for a network, so start thinking who could help you, and who you could help... I hope Me has found someone to pick up her anti-virals and is resting properly with lots of water/diluted fruit juice.

Right... much as I hate to leave you I really must go now!

Morning everyone. I was up reasonably early but then I took some paracetamol and it sent me back to sleep.

Beki how is your little one today, I hope he had a decent nights sleep and didn't give you any cause for concern.
Good luck to both Valli and Fedup, you will both be fine. My fingers are tightly crossed for you both.
Methekidsandthecat I hope you can get the anti-virals somehow. If I lived closer then I would pop and pick them up for you. Shame one of the t'other flyladies aren't closer then I am sure someone would pick them up for you. Make sure you get plenty of rest and fluids. And DON'T do any housework etc..you need plenty of rest.

I think we should seriously think about finding 5 "flu friends", unfortunately I don't have 5 friends locally..lol. And I don't like asking the neighbours in the road.. Shall have to think carefully on this one.

Oooh I only have two things on my 5 challenge list..woohoo. And I cleaned the bathroom/toilet etc while I was getting showered. Plus the computer had been defragged last night
