    I'm in - thank you pigpen, Toots and soappie :A

    I aim to do more flying, but life seems to get in the way and I'm tired :o

    I changed the brake light bulb in about 5 minutes :D went to see dad and then came back and laid on the sofa for nearly 4 hours ...............

    I am going to talk to the Head tomorrow about the possibility of resigning from some of my responsibilities. I need some time and space to sort myself out without lots of extra work pressure for not a lot of extra money!

    Hope everyone is ok - hugs xx

    pink-winged - hope MiL has a speedy recovery

    sexymouse - do let us know if you get a date so we can be there with you x

    Toots - can't you invite someone over and dress up for a night in? I'm not going to any parties either - but am going to a couple of gigs (not that I dress up for those!!) I'll have to come up sometime in the New Year and we'll go out for something! ETA - I see kaz has the same idea :D

    I need to get some energy and concentration from somewhere so I can do my work ................

    I'm in, just getting away from ebay for a while, listing takes ages.

    Amyway, more listing done, tea eaten and ummm thats about it.

    Need to get a spur on and get this blasted listing finished.

    May bake and [STRIKE]eat all of it [/STRIKE] a bit of it :D a cake, just fancy some cake.

    Right, head down, I'm going back in, if not seen or heard of over the next few hours, someody send someone to fetch me back.;)
    Well done on the listing... just think of all the lovely space and money you'll have when it's over...
    I am envious of you all going to parties and nights out - I havent got any to go to and proabably couldnt go anyway but it would be nice to dress up for one:rotfl:
    Like Dusty, I've got no parties or nights out planned (except a baby shower next sunday which doesn't really count...!) but I'm not that bothered... you can dress up anyway :D
    I am going to talk to the Head tomorrow about the possibility of resigning from some of my responsibilities. I need some time and space to sort myself out without lots of extra work pressure for not a lot of extra money!
    I know what you mean about life getting in the way... the problem is that life ends up getting in the way of having a life IYSWIM... anyway, well done on making the decision.

    Thanks to the terrible trio for the lists/admin :T. Supper eaten, non-flylady cards half done (all addresses written... just the insides to do...)
  • Hi,

    Can I come back? I've not been flying for months now & my entire life is a disaster area!
    • We're in the middle of having a loft conversion so have furniture, clothes, decorating materials, alsorts of 'stuff' that needs storing scattered around the house.
    • My sisters vat return is due the end of the month & she's only just given me the paperwork so that all needs doing.
    • I have a project to do for college by the end of January but haven't even started the coursework to go with it yet.
    • My diet/fitness has gone totally up the wall as i've not had the time to meal plan & my kitchen is in a state so i don't want to cook in it so we've been having takeaways so i'm putting weight on again.
    So the plan looks something like this ...

    Monday ~ Kitchen of Grot and Dining Room of Gloom
    Level One
    Declutter and mop/vacuum the floors

    Find and wipe the worksurfaces
    Level Two
    Wipe the big appliances and units.. don't forget kickboards!
    Wipe small appliances and replace.. do one thoroughly.. descale or decrumb or degunge!
    Clear and wipe a shelf or window sill
    Level Three
    Wipe the table and replace the cloth if necessary.
    Sort through and clean out one cupboard
    Clean the oven and hob.. :D

    1. go back to s/w & get weighed & stay for meeting
    2. meal plan & shop for week
    3. sort out vat paperwork to make it easier to input
    4. look at coursework & make a plan with deadlines
    5. use the wii fit
    6. wm / td / dw
