Weekly Flylady Thread 8th February 2010

tc3061

Morning all :hello:
I'm in again, thanks to Toots, Soappie & Pigpen for all your hard work and motivation. And thanks to all the other flyladies who keep me amused and informed - when I get chance to read some of your posts (not all of them now as was spending more time reading than flying! :rotfl:)

Anyho, was a little dissappointed not to progress to 2 stars last week as spent so much time on Tuesday's living room list, but never quite got there, so that's the aim for this week. However, friends and family are definately noticing (apart from my 3 kids lol) as have had some lovely comments, and some shocked comments cos they all know I hate housework :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: One friend even asked me who I'd had in to do my kitchen!!! :rotfl:

I spent a lot of time on Saturday continuing to move my stuff from my old wardrobe in my old bedroom downstairs to my new wardrobe, plus clear the floordrobe, still not completed, but not too much more to do. Have 2 weeks to get fully sorted as friend who helped me build it all is coming to inspect it (and the clear floor!)

Got to stay in today for parcel collection, so hope to get yesterday's list done and start on todays.

Hugs to all that need them :grouphug:

Macpec - I think you should seek another opinion/gp Deff think you need to see specialist. Ovarian cyst and Fybroid!!!! ( There are things that can be done I'm sure)

Wot she said /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ Why should you have to put up with pain, if it was a man with those symptoms they would have been referred straight away. Like LL says get a second opinion.

zoe ~get through the day~ vibes for you, hope it is all over today.

macpep glad it arrived safely I have another parcel for another flylady to organise this week, I forgot to do it last week

Operation dot2dot commences on my return from the school run!

I have just this minute realised that if we are doing more sorting in the garage that means more "stuff" in the kitchen, so there is not much point going scrubbing in there:sad: but I will sort out the cupboards because it wasnt me that put the shopping away the other day and its all messed up:rotfl:

Morning all

Our new washer arrived at 7.10am! Looks like a much better machine, A rated and a larger capacity so should save us a bit of money and will be easier when washing the bedding especially. DH has gone off to work now but as I slept badly and not really at all after about 4am, I'm going to go in for 10am - i have to be in very early tomorrow so may as well make up for it today.

Have a feeling I will just collapse tonight, once we've plumbed in the machine.

There wasnt going to be any flying for me today as I was going to leave early and stop off along the way for a walk. But the best laid plans and all that have definitely gione awry - and Ive only just got out of bed (that's part of the reason actually!).

So, woke up with a cold in the head (grrrrr! I hate colds), so decided not to do the walk. Saw my kitchen was a mess, so thought I'd do that instead so it's clean before I leave (cant cancel appointment - it will go ahead without me and my client will be left to handle things alone if I dont go).

Then came on here while eating bre3akfast and realised it's kitchen day Yippee! So I can fly, get the kitchen tidied and then leave for Brecon afterwards.

Have to do hair too - it's very very curly and I like it straight, so takes me ages.

Onward and upward:
