Weekly Flylady Thread 25th January 2010

poohbear59

Hi,

Still decluttering here. But gently today as feeling a bit more painful. I think all the activity is catching up on me so I am doing very gentle flying.

Good news that I want to shout from the hill tops is that DH has gone to the tip, without being asked, on his own!! :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

It is sunny here today too and I am still sure that it helps along with the magic lamp which DH started using again yesterday after a long C'mas break.

I didn't finish the bathrooms yesterday so am going to get them done now.

Good luck with your interviews Julie and MOAM.

Hi everyone - I'm a newbie -please can I join? have followed you for weeks and LOVE the thread. I've tried to fly and am almost there but I think those stars would really help. After years of struggling to look after the house with Mr Grump, DS, DD and being a senior manager in a school I have finally retired (well nearly), the family have flown the nest and I am left with Mr G but plenty of time to fly.

Love to everyone x x :A I feel I know you already

Afternoon all

Today's list complete (did it Wednesday). Today I've vacuumed right through downstairs. One load of washing draped round.

Good wishes being sent to all those having a bad time, losing friends or family or suffering illness. There's nothing wrong with me, I'm just feeling sorry for myself and I wish I could stop.

Sorry I've not had time to catch up with the thread for today but good luck vibes to those who are interviewing today

I'm about to do a HHI

DH has just been paid, he's very short as his old job forgot to put his overtinme on and his new job only pay up to the 20th of each month [he started with them on 11th] so we are in for the tightest month ever, he's got the hump big time with his old job as they won't correct it till end of Feb - g!ts - never mind that we still have to live!!

Anyway - off to take it out on the ironing now
