Weekly Flylady Thread 26th October 2009

Have been lurking on this for a while and think I've got the gist of it now. I need a kick to do the jobs, as some (ironing???) have become the 'monster in the corner' that are now too big to tackle.
Should I wait for the tomorrow to start?

Welcome Gilligan - I'm sure you will find this thread a big help, I find it really motivating! Why not do half an hour ironing this morning (HHI) and that will help you to feel a bit better about it! Do a little bit today and it will be much easier tomorrow. I will put a :xmastree:so that people know you are new. Our official meeter and greeter Toots is a bit under the weather at the mo, but I'm sure you will get a warm welcome from everyone

Morning all! It's absolutely pouring with rain here, and it's really dark! DH is still sleeping, I might go back for an hour later as have a really busy afternoon. Not planning to do much flying today, hope to get the washing up done and do some washing, and get ready for Phase 2 tomorrow! :T

Morning folks

Ironing done
Shopping list made
Floor swept
Chucking it down with rain here, was off to Bicester outlet village for a wander around, but unless the rain eases off I won't be going too far.
Going to wrap up the mirror lego packets I have got so far, I find it really fiddly for some reason, then going to do x*** stock check and see what I am still missing / need to get.

Catch up later, hugs to all, and hi to any newbies

Just had a really nice chat and tea with LadyL and her hubby. Thank you to you both. Feel guilty cos I talked about myself and school so much, but LadyL and her hubby have a little inside knowledge about my school too. Hope it won't be so long in between visits next time. We'll have to set a possible date to aim to meet up on that we can look forward to at a weekend and next time I will try not to talk quite so much about me!

Maybe I should see if I can find some huge fake talon nails and paint them with orange nail varnish in honour of halloween LadyL!

Sexy you know you are welcome anytime & if we can help we will don't forget to do those nails & remember to eat will be thinking of you this coming week xxxx


Morning Everyone

It is absolutely foul here, dark, wet,& windy.....so not good for the BD :eek:

Sorry I haven't been around for most of the week....so have no chance of catching up (other than what Sexy filled me in on ) so huge hugs to anyone who wants or needs one......

My DS came home last night, so that he could go to a Halloween party (pics on FB ) he is going back to uni later today....so only a quick visit....twas lovely to see him though.

Special love & hugs to toots,MSD,& Mudders xx


Welcome to the newbies....have a good Sunday all xx

All done (with some minor substitutions). I am proud to announce that at 3.08pm on Friday the whole house was clean, tidy and smelling nice. It lasted for 17 minutes till the party started :rotfl:.

Still drowning in work and other problems and struggling with epic insomnia so apologies for not catching up or answering any messages.

:rotfl: reminds me of the day all those years ago when you had completed everything - I still hold you in high esteem for that. Hugs sweetie and hope you are in a better calmer place soon.

I've emptied WM, put clothes on the maiden, put away yesterday's wash and stripped out bed.

DH plans involve being in the garage all day.

DS2 is so much better, thank you for all your kind wishes Frodders, Soappie, Lil_me and anyone I've forgotten.

Off to the bathroom now - going to give it a quick clean and then have my shower.
