Weekly Flylady Thread 1st March 2010

Mumof2_2

I wonder if I can pick your brains please. I REALLY want to be able to fly and keep all my rooms looking nice but it's proving very hard. I do have certain commitments on my time: 3 hours typing per day (roughly), at least an hour walking the dog; but I have 2 days without DS and 2 mornings without him. Apart from my dailies, I don't want to spend the weekends doing housework.

I'm trying to limit my time on here and am very sorry to ready I don't read previous posts much so apologies there to anyone who needs support. I get VERY easily distracted and find it hard to knuckle down and get on with a job.

Any ideas? I can feel I'm slipping; I'm trying to stay with it but other things are taking over again.

Thank you

Another lovely sunny day here. Been to see mum and took her to the park which she enjoyed. It was nice to get her out for a bit of fresh air.

Hugs for everyone specially Toots, Lady L and Diva.

I work full time, and have two small children, and at certain times of the year, I work two jobs. I rarely get stars, but aim for level 1s on work days.
I think you should aim for level ones and feel pleased with yourself when you get them done. Then if you have any more time, aim for level 2s.
Good luck.

Wilf - roughly where? Try near Uppingham if that is any use - there is a travel lodge there but you have to book some way in advance for their good rates. This one looks nicer for the same money and is a far quieter area. We had our wedding reception at this one near Barnsdale Gardens - really lovely food. Oakham is the other big town to search around if that helps.
