Weekly Flylady Thread 1st March 2010

Natty68

Morning campers, just catching up with the thread. Will have to set aside an hour later today to read through it all and post appropriately as I have my lists to do..

I'm up and about early so I thought I would make a head start on the day. I think I prefer the early mornings as I have more get up and go at the moment, although come the afternoon I'm normally flagged out on the sofa wilting a bit..lol

I noticed we have a wee bit of spring in the garden out the front and the back amongst the sludge that is now my lawn - it's turned into a bog at the moment. We may have to dig it up entirely and returf it if we can't see any rescue of it. Ack expensive!!! Back to the spring in the garden - I have crocuses taking over my wee bit of lawn in the front garden, snowdrops around my cats graves at the back of the back garden and snowdrops and crocuses on Patches grave at the side of the back garden. It looks a bit bare but it's nice to see the wee bit of spring


I am going to start making my lists in the morning now, mainly so that I can actually see where I am again. I have lapsed so much what with having to rest up with these various bugs/flu/illnesses that I have had ongoing since beginning of December. I really do think the multivitamins that I am taking are actually starting to work, wish I had taken them before this..lol

Hope everyone has a good day - *hugs* to you all xxx

Morning all

Mumto5 Happy Birthday to your DD

Valli - well done! Loving the outstanding bit for that is the most important part to engage and involve the kids (stop the devils playing up)

Serena - hope the trip has been ok

Triker - good luck with the boot sale - I'm waiting until after easter

Flying plan:

hoover downstairs
S&S bathroom
deal with some hotspots
dust downstairs

Need to go out and do some chores later but as I have the house to myself this morning I'm staying here until the builder arrives.
