Done to 1387



Elf, I'm afraid we don't doll out stars for the weekend list. Did no-one explain it's optional?

Ooooops no I didnt realise - but probably would have written it anyway as it was early and I was on autopilot Never mind - still pleased with my first realy week and the weekend things needed done anyways.....

Oh and Valli what is a MAidenful of ironing? And thanks for heads up on stickers too.

Didnt realise it was an uncommon saying. I have always lived in Scotland and call it a maiden aswell. Saying that my mums a Scouser so maybe thats why :rolleyes:

hi guys... long time no see.... *me and pumpkin wave frantically* :hello:

I havent been on for a very long time as had a bit of a hectic time at home .......became a single mummy 3 months ago and struggling to get me and pumpkin both dressed in clean clothes and fed a healthy meal some days nevermind tackle housework!....

(Im such a pathetic excuse for a mum.. know single mummies who have it MUCH MUCH harder than so feel awful saying that i cant even manage one little toddler and myself :o:o)

My house is depressing me though as my ex still hasnt moved his stuff out and im falling over it all..... and between uni, my avon round, doing driving lessons and trying to spend the days Pumpkin isnt with her dad or someone else doing stuff together.. i have let my house become an absolute state!

I neeeeeeeed to flylady again before i end up on an episode of "How clean is your house?".....

So before the new thread starts i thought id jump in and just ask a few questions:

1/ firstly am i allowed to come back? :rotfl::rotfl:
2/ Am i right in thinking we have a star system - so i get a star if i complete the whole list for one day?

My Asda home delivery is now 15 mins late....how long should I wait before I do anything?

Only the second time I have used home delivery and they were early last week so not sure how it works really

Have to say my store are very good and phone me every delivery whether they are early late or on time.. maybe the driver just likes listening to my voice!!:rotfl:

Hi

I am so sorry that I am not really following the lists - I will do but cannot yet see the floor to do any cleaning - so I have decided that I will stop saying I will do them until i have at least made a large dent in the decluttering - should I stop posting on here???

Good grief!! Stop posting???? Heck no!!! I occasionally mention the lists (when Ive done them) but most of my posts are general gibbering at the weekend and Ive not been kicked off yet!! As someone else said, its all about mutual support! Please dont stop posting.


GREENBEE as for me being a bad influence... it may be true, it may not!! Dont let that worry you!! :rotfl: and Im sure I could sober up long enough for a cuppa sometime!!! Unless of course you fancy a darn good girls night out sometime!!!:D:D

OH took day off work today and took me to the pub so apologies for any typos etc.. my fellow [STRIKE]drunks[/STRIKE] flyladies can translate for me

OH has fallen asleep on the sofa... shandy-drinker!!!!!!!!!!


muchly hugglys

Johanne - welcome! and big hugs about your family situation (this is Soappie masquerading as Toots by the way as she's indisposed at the moment). Of course you can join back in.

Yes, there's a star system if you complete all three levels set by Piggers and we've just invented a "if you can't cope with that big list, post five things either the night before or first thing in the morning on a daily basis (five different things each day) and if you complete all five you get a heart.

Big Hugs Johanne:grouphug: - How's Pumpkin? Of course your allowed back and you seem spot on about the stars, but as I've yet to get one, I'll let a more qualified person say (see soappie/toots is sooooo good she even beat me!). Just wanted to get a Hello! in:hello:.

Now to catch up on the rest of the thread before the new one opens....

Evening

me I never follow the lists full, I don't do much during the week, as I am too tired after work, but on Saturday mornings it is all go here, and by about 11am when I check the lists, I have generally done everything, and a load of extra stuff.........you what you can when you can.

Spent the afternoon in the garden, it started to rain about 6pm...

Welcome back!!

Im sure you are doing better than you think..esp with everything you are fitting in. I remember when I only had 1 child (now have 4!!) and had hub there at time and I still considered myself lucky to have managed a clean pair of knickers for myself some days. Please dont worry.

As everyone will say... little steps it wont take long before you are back on track..

In the meantime, since people think Im a bad influence, perhaps I could interest you in a glass of wine to start the week off??:rotfl:
