Weekly Flylady Thread 18th January 2010

Poppytime

Since last post have done my bedding and WM on. Not done a lot else tbh – sat down and watching Loose Women with a coffee. Will make a start on the shower room at 1.30.

Triker – Can I suggest that if you are making Wills you do Power of Attorney at the same time. Makes things so much easier for your loved ones if we don’t actually die but are unable to make decisions for ourselves. This has reminded me that I have to change mine
Mumof2 – The only person I can think of asking to talk to him apart from myself is DD. If only he would agree to seeing a professional I know we could make inroads into this but I cant force him to do so. Will have another chat with him this evening
MissH – I had no idea those spiders were so evil. I don’t kill spiders but just put them out but will make sure any of those I come across wont survive
LadyL – Thank you
MrsBsBlog – What did you use for the black mould on the sealant. I just cant shift it off mine and have tried numerous cleaning products
xxJoxx – Hope you are ok after your fall
lemanie – had to laugh at your DS story

CAN I HAVE A STAR FOR WEDNESDAY PLEASE TOOTS

Afternoon all

I did all the bedrooms yesterday, so that's today's list complete.

Today I've done the bathroom and toilet, including emptying the bathroom cabinet and cleaning it before replacing the stuff. Nothing to chuck away. Since having the bathroom done I've been very careful not to let things get cluttered.

One load of washing draped round. New matttress topper airing on top of the bed for the day before being dragged back out again tonight so we can get into bed!

I've changed my avatar for you AnW's Mum, thinking about you all.

Off work today in bed feeling poorly sick. Spent the first hour of the day feeling dizzy and sick, had a scary shower holding onto the walls, got out and then threw up. Only felt ok when i lay down in bed again so DH had to get both sprogs ready, so lots of shouting and losing of temper. Would have been quite funny if I didn't feel so pukey. :rotfl:
So i slept all morning after emailing work in and its parents eve for Year 11 tonight and I feel so guilty. do any other teachers feel guilty when they are ill? I mean I'm too ill to go in or prob even drive for that matter so its stupid for feleing guilty for getting a dodgy stomach but I don't want people to think I'm not really ill but am just trying to avoid parents eve as I'm not.

Anyway flying wise i did the bits off the list yesterday after the man had been to fit the blinds , 2 of them were too big so he has had to re-order:mad: but at least he put the curtain poles back up for us. Will get DH to change sheets tonight before he gets in as I dont want him in my mankiness.
Happy birthday to the 2 ladies whose names i now can't remember:beer:
And JO JO so glad it was only a cyst btu sorry about the bruised bum.
Special hugs to lady l and Toots (thanks for my star)
