    I am still here, though you'd be forgiven for thinking I'd fallen off the wagon, given my complete lack of posts. Didn't manage any stars at all last week until Saturday morning when I set everyone around me to work and blitzed the place, and managed to complete the lists for four days - but I never got time to post and say so, so I never got any stars *sob* ;-)

    No lists completed so far this week, but we'll see what the rest of today brings.
  • Well done elf :T that's a very impressive list xx

    I got most of the landing-bedroom done apart from the hoovering. It's the easiest flylady day in the week for me since it's really not much of a room :rotfl:

    I'm going to go to Mr Ms now and get DS1's birthday bits.

    Dust and deweb!
    Level Three
    Wipe over any paintwork
    Sort out the gibble from the porch.. umbrellas, boots and buggies need stacking neatly
    Scrub clean the front door.. inside and out!
    Extras
    1. Wipe hand rails and bannisters and spindles.. yes I loathe doing mine too and I have more than most people!!

    After a short night's sleep (teething!), I awoke with renewed vigour (!) and so here's my list for today:

    Either I'll do this lot, or I'll retire to bed!!


    Have a good day all
    D

    FFP - that is awful, take care, I think you need to see someone to help you out of the situation sooner rather than later

    Getting out isn't easy (I know and I had only me to worry about) BUT your kids are seeing this...take care. can I also suggest you keep a diary of what happens and when. That is a serious overreaction to a minor thing.

    Sorry if I in anyway suggested that it might be easy, it wasn't meant that way
    Don't put it down, put it away - thanks Valli

    Thank you to all who post competitions & help the smooth running of the comps board
  • Hi, all. Just checking in, no vacuum cleaner, so just dot-to-dot today.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    Thanks honey. I have missed you too. I have felt so out of touch (how sad is that!) How are you doing????? I have been thing of you.

    :mad:Rant alert:mad:

    Been not too bad until last night when OH came back from pub and had a screaming fit. DS1 had forgot to let the bath water out and this turned out to be crime of the century. He then 'cleaned' out the boys room by throwing all the dishes downstairs from the top landing! Had to phone a freind to come over to get him to go to bed then spent the night in the boys room with the door locked. Need to find a way out of this situation but can't see one at the moment.



    I had the same problem getting curtains. My windows are a 117 drop 90 wide so no chance of ready mades. I had to buy material and ask someone to run them up for me. What you need is a flylady who is a bit handy with a sewing machine.




    You might be sick of them quite soon as I have missed them too :rotfl:



    need to go OH just turned up. I'll do my list in a mo.

    Honey, you need to get your kids and you (and pets) somewhere safe. This sounds like a guy who is not in control, and alcohol is just a release valve, it doesn't cause the behaviour, only allows people to express it.

    Have lived with a violent man and should have left sooner. This is domestic abuse, and you need to get you and your kids safe.
