Weekly Flylady Thread 7th September 2009

dinx1972

Right one very unhappy flying reporting in just incase I get deleted from the front page for lack of posting or flying (of which I have done neither:rotfl:).

What with going back to work and eldest starting grammar school and having to coach him through his homework every night, I am only must managing to keep on top of the currently levels of carpness!!!!

Still we are all fed and watered so I suppose that is something:rolleyes:.

Right off to get my learning journeys up to date before DS1 gets home with more homework:eek:.

Don't know when I will catch up with the flying, but don't delete me, at some point over the next 5 years I will crack the flying lark, that or I will crack up:D.

I am back and contemplating the gardening, however I feel absolutely shattered so I am going to try and find some energy first!

here I go again.......

I have a cunning plan. I am going to do a HHC in the garden, weeding etc. OH is due back in half an hour and I am hoping when he seems me out there that he will either help with the gardening or will start cutting the lawn. If it doesn't work then at least I will have done something out there!

HHC 4.30-5.00 anyone?

Getting there now! Just the bathroom left for now and the spare room is the study so tomorrow is done too (hopefully!). Bedding change either tomorrow or weekend. Coats in the washer ready for re waterproofing later on

If the house is a mess, and I get behind on the flying, after all the flying I have done this year, I feel agitated and it plays in my mind in a way it never did for all those years before when I could leave the bedroom a month inbetween dusts. I then go in a bad mood think it will take ages to do. Until I put some time aside (most rooms only take half an hour or so these days) and fly I then feel better.

What a change around however flying is on my mind alot to clean and keep things tidy. Just need to a bit more balance methinks

Feel like this is the first time I've actually sat down today!! Between everything that needs done and 2 bickering children! But on the up side, I actually feel like I have been getting somewhere - Wednesday and Thursday's lists both done and only a couple of tasks from Monday and Tuesday to go. Not sure if I'll get them done or not - but there is one really sticky messy cupboard that should get cleaned. I think that's whats putting me off!! :rotfl:
