Weekly Flylady Thread 1st March 2010

vanilla

Tumble dryer gave up on me again, so one phone call and an hour later i have a lovely new one. Hopefully this one won't give me any bother.

Loads more washing done and i'm half way through changing the livingroom about. It's such a mess in there.

Need to go and lift MIL from bus station and then lift the wee ones.

I think that's the hardest thing, when you think back on what you used to manage, and realise you can't do it all any more. I'm still working on that one myself.:(

No idea what's going on with the ol' ankle. I'm working on the theory that if I ignore it long enough, it'll get fed up, and start behaving itself.;)

I know I find myself getting really upset sometimes:( I was hoping I would accept it one day but it's not looking good.

As for the ankle, I did that with the seizures and it didn't work:o

On the flying front I have sorted a bit of washing. Other than that I have done sweet FA:o

STAR PLEASE! ALL DONE TODAY

Only thing left to do is get hubby to move the big sofa as I can't shift it by myself and as the lounge is gleaming now I won't be able to rest till I get hoovered under it!

Don't think I'll manage a star tomorrow as I'm out shopping with friends tomorrow and also out tomorrow night, so might just get level 1 (possibly 2 done), although might be able to catch up in the week

I hope your ankle is better soon.

sandy and LW I have begun the accepting phase of my condition now. Or I think I have. It has been a very long six years but I have come a long way. I find it best not to think about what I used to be able to do.

And then some days it really gets to me again and I either get upset or I go and blow what little energy I have on something stupid and unimportant. Those days are becoming more infrequent.

On a frustrated note. I have been waiting for a phone call from a delivery company and I really want to go outside in the sunshine. They said they would ring between 1 and 2. The sun will be gone soon:(

Our road is about 4 inches deep in snow and I had arranged to get DS2 to meet them on the main road.

Well done tomato's son!:j

Don't put yourself down. You've taken the garbage out. That's an achievement.. Baby steps. Have a cup of tea and a biscuit and then do another little job.

Thank you Pollybear, you're completely right I'm very used to taking the most negative view on myself. Yay for this forum and all the great people who post on it :j
