Weekly Flylady Thread 14th December 2009

Bother. I'm finally scheduled to go to the gym again tomorrow morning... and it's going to be freezing cold and snowing

And I'm booked to go into the office on Friday... when.. guess what... yup, it's going to be snowing again :rolleyes:

Fire is going nicely (if it's going to be that cold I MUST buy more fuel tomorrow), and I've got an orange cake in the oven, so I'm going to make some supper

'Away in a manger, No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus. Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky, Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus. Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus Look down from the sky
And stay by my side, Until morning is nigh.'

That is my favourite:j:j

Hello

I'm back from the hospital.......I have slight growth on two of the tumours....but I can cope with that.....I am realistic enough to know they are not going to shrink or disappear I'm just relieved there is no major advancement at this stage.....being as aggressive as it is that is a huge relief.....so a HUGE thanks to all the flylady force, love, prayers etc.....I couldn't have managed without you all :A :A :T next scan in 3 months......so until then I will make the most of every day Love you all xxxxxxx

My flying today has consisted of posting all the cards, making last few orders and decluttering lots of cups of tea whilst wrapping pressies for my family. This is the best organised I have ever been. I have just realised I have done all the extras and noneof the main list... yet.

Blimey summermoon... That was close.!

Well done on being organised and I'm the same - done the extras but not the list. How is your DH?

Mudders - I'm with Pooh. I got my machine second hand from a machine shop and it has been great. I don't do enough for it to be worth having a new one (always cuverted a bernina as that is what they had at school and our teacher said they were the best) and you maybe lucky and get one on ebay/frecycle.

Crafty - well done on your results

Summermoon - hope you are not caught up in playing what ifs. Hugs for you all

Jinky I'm glad your trip went well x

I have always wanted a Bernina, still covert them.

DH is still the same. Watches TV, does the cleaning, the washing etc but can't do anything that involves thinking. I tried to give him a bit of enouragement or maybe a bit of a push but that made him worse. I am trying to keep positive for us all. Kids are paying for C'mas dinner etc so that is a help. Have to keep smiling:D

Oh, and he has to drive me around now too. I am hoping new pooch will do him good too. Thank you for asking.

Mudbath

My mum has just reminded me I have her old Singer sewing machine in the attic:o:rotfl:. Might get that down. Thanks for all your advice xx

The 7 things I tidied up were;

- sorted clinic for tomorrow
- scrubbed packed lunch boxes
- washed stuff that needed washing by hand
- loaded dishwasher and ran it
- dried clothes for ten minutes and then hung up
- pinned up Christmas card that arrived today
- did Jinky diary.

That's me for a bit xx

mumofjusttwo have added you to the list - well done!! and Congratulations on 100% pass thats excellent:T:T
Valli :rotfl::p I may add the hotel to my wish list now that i have found it again
Dusty thats great news - long may it continue!
Soappie have you finished the room of doom at work? whats the next exciting item on the agenda??
kazm I have had the tissuing too - can be very uncomfortable and painful if they dont catch it quick enough - fingers crossed that the blood results will be good - hopefully you will notice a difference yourself in the meantime. So you have a month to get all the jobs done and the house spotless - thats do-able:rotfl::rotfl: Good luck with DD and NO painting for you!!:eek:
jinky good to see you had a nice time and it went as well as it could.

ok better go do stars
toots xx
