Weekly Flylady Thread 7th September 2009

Dustykitten

Back from town, got a great bargain photo album which should have been £20 but only £5 as the cover is damaged - I'm covering it with fabric anyhow so I just need to repair and cover it. It is lovely quality.

Realised I am so unfit, cycling was tough! I want to sell my bike and get a different one (with panniers/basket and mudflaps) and cycle more. It is a nice cycle to town, not too far and not too hilly so no excuses, limits what I can spend too! Waitrose do a service where you can hire a trailer for the back of your bike to take your shopping home but I need to get fitter before I try that!

Going to sit in the sun to top up my Vit D levels for 20 minutes and then advance warning of a

HHC at 13:00

Rose sorry you are feeling down I really think some sort of talking therapy could help you. Well done on loosing 2lb that is great news.

Soappie how is the speech coming along?

Dusty that sounds a great idea of waitrose's I wouldn't be fit enough either though!

Have done some ironing, going to put it away and do some more. I am watching the F1 from our first w/e away. I was looking forward to seeing Schumi race and am fed up to see he can't due to neck probs. Oh well better get back to it, toots is bound to be keeping her beedy on me

Afternoon ladies. I have just caught up with the thread. Hugs to all, even if you don't need them, it is miserable weather here so I want everyone to feel some positive vibes from here.

I am still absolutely exhausted from my marathon clean/sort day, probably my fault for not taking enough breaks.

Manic Monday ~ Kitchen of Grot and Diming Room of Gloom
Level Three
Clean the oven

Tickly Tuesday ~ Living Room, Hall and Stairs
Level 1
Vacuum floors and sofas
Level 2
Dusting, even if around everything
Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe
Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
Level 3
Wipe light switches, sockets (make sure they are not switched on!!) and banister
Clean any other glass like mirrors, pictures etc
Tidy shoes, coats and bags .. wash any that need washing in preparation for cold weather!! See if there are any that don't fit, past their best or just plain uncomfy which could leave the house!

Extra

1. Paperwork clearance.. spend 15 minutes minimum sorting through those piles of paper.
2. Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself
3. Clean a window or two.

embb I would be inclined to agree with your OH - if you start backing down on your price then she will always be a problem and when you try to up your prices in the future she will try it on again IMHO. I would stick to your guns angel - this is a business and you have to get hard (well not so soft!!!) I will let you of with the utility room swap this week since I am on hols but you did that before if I remember right to avoid the ironing ............:rotfl:
rosepink for starters I think if you could join a weight loss club you would get out more, you would meet new people (with the same problem) and hopefully lose weight too! If you lost weight you might feel happier about yourself and more able to cope with life in general.
I know men in general find it hrd to express themselves and their feelings so your Dh is not alone there so stop looking for trouble and getting yourselves more stressed. Its actually good that he was able to cry as it releases a lot of pent up feelings. I am sure if DH saw you happier it would rub off on him. Dusty gave excellent advice - you need to talk to someone face to face - we are not councellors and this is not the place - we can support you but you seriously need to get things started that will help you like yourself and feel more confident. You can do it if you put your mind to it - go out and get advice/help - ask at the surgery or your support worker and make a decision to to improve your life - you cant go on yo-yoing like this - you and DH will part if you do and thats not what you want. You have done well losing 2 pounds but with the right help and motivation you could lose much more and then you could be feeling so much happier with yourself. Sorry for being brutal (hugs)
Blimus (((hugs)) hope the nintendo turns up and you manage to salvage some of the food
achtunglady you are doing well - juggling children and partners is never easy
AnW'sMum me? moi? as if!!!!:rotfl:
more hugs G&B - it will take time but glad you are feeling a bit better - did the marathon decorating get done?
catch you all later
toots xx

Oiled all door handles - noisy beggers they were!
HHI - I've been slipping/slacking on that again
Showered and came to work

Love and hugs to all who need want them
