Weekly Flylady Thread 4th January 2010

Mudbath

Hiya everyone - hope you're all well!
Tootles - Thursday and Friday lists completed my dear!!!!

It's probably all been said but please could people put whether or not they've completed lists really clearly. The thought of tootles going through all of our posts to find who needs stars must be taking her ages!!! :eek:

As you might have seen - flying lists have been done. Now i'm making a birthday cake for DS. Also going to s/s all rooms done this week to keep them nice.

Hugs to you all - sorry i've not read the thread but will try and keep up later xxxx

Jojo, big cyber hugs to you m'dear and good luck.

I've done my HHC (took 35 mins but wasn't counting). I:
* vacuumed upstairs (even moved things )
* gave the bathroom a really good clean
* made DH's sandwiches for going to work
* went around with a carrier bag and picked up rubbish upstairs and put it into the (almost overflowing) black bin which hasn't been emptied for almost 3 weeks now.

Just decluttering a [STRIKE]chunk[/STRIKE] tiny slice of banana loaf and then am off to walk the dog.

I can't beleive it is nearly eleven already.

I've restocked the log basket (log store just about empty now), fed the birds and had breakfast.

Going to do a HHC 11-11:30 to try to get downstairs straight.

I've had a reply from my email to the Head and I've replied. I will await his response. He could not access the facebook pages on the school network so was needing to investigate futher.

Valli - love your attitude - its taken me years to get like you with DD and sometimes I do resort to coming down to her level but I know that if I just say no and then ignore her it diffuses the situation big time as she hasn't got an audience for her tantrums which have been quite violent in the past

Thank you - sadly I didn't come to this realisation on my own - my mum intervened:A and showed me the error of my ways. I wouldn't mind but she had daughters:rotfl:, one of whom usually did as she was told (me! honest! the eldest and I liked a quiet life!)

Phoned the bank and cancelled her pocket money and savings standing orders.

And carefully separated out her dirty laundry from the basket, returning it onto her bed.

Well done, I am sending you huge hugs and positive vibes both for dealing with her and for this afternoon.

Dusty.. that is appalling... I'd ring the police non-emergency line and speak to them as well.. and give them the links.. this is horrible.. and the kids in question must be terrified!

THAT^ is a fantastic idea actually - this is CYBER-BULLYING which is (or should be) high on the agenda ATM.

Massive hugs to DIVA too, for Tris and puss x

Roll call for HHC at 11:00 hours fly troop. ETA I'm with DUSTY!
