    Hi all, hope the bank holiday was kind to you all.
    having internet problems so I'm struggling to keep up with MSE at the moment, just wanted to say I'm fying and decorating and doing well (I think) so apologies for not being around much and not being able to lend support and encouragement.

    Keep Flying. Hopefully i'll be all sorted soon, that or I'm going to start squatting at the library and use their internet, aha might solve having to tidy up then lol Take Care everyone.

    Hi :wave:

    I'm new to this board but have decided to give it a go instead of lurking (am usually on the Comps board :j)

    Tuesday ~ Kitchen (no dining room :()
    Level One
    Declutter and vacuum floor
    Clear and wipe work surfaces
    Level Two
    Wipe units and large appliances
    Give one small appliance a good clean! - microwave (hope this counts!)
    Wipe out the fridge and get rid of anything gross and slide the stuff that needs using now into your meal plan
    Level Three
    Clean through the cupboard full of food.. what needs using soon?
    clean oven and hob!


    Extras
    1. Clean a hotspot.. even if that is the inside of the breadbin!
    2. Wipe down all the paintwork
    3. Wash the windows
    With a toddler and baby it can be a bit of a struggle to keep up, but as I only live in a small flat and have a VERY helpful partner, we manage well most days!

    Good luck everyone, and I will crack on with reading the rest of the thread now then getting on with the flylady'ing (I have my priorities straight that's for sure :D:o:p)
    Part time GCer, NSDer, Comper and (Bad)Flylady :o
    A big shot is just a little shot that kept shooting ...

    Hi everyone

    Lots of problems here with DD and ExKH [been saying nasty stuff about me and DH and DD is having probs dealing with it all] No idea what I'm going to do about it all - I sit here compleely clueless as to where to go next - been to school and told the Nuturing Assistant who couldn't offer much help, stopped all contact with ExKH until I decide what to do, so I'm not following lists this week until I can sort out what I'm doing with DD and KH, DH is fit to blow over it all so I'm having to deal with him aswell, DD is 10 but very emotionally insecure for her age and now I know why - being drip feed carp by KH, she's infactuated with him though so she's not happy about no contact - I've had migraines all weekend and now I'm so tired I feel sick anyway...............

    Jinky - hugs for you and Gran - sorry I meant to get on here earlier to say it but didn't get much chance, hope she is ok

    Hugs for everyone else who needs one

    Hello:hello:,

    I was AWOL most of last week but I have been trying to keep up with reading the posts.

    Still in the middle of a flare up so not a lot of flying being done by me. I do have two sons at home this week so I will be supervising:D

    huge hugs helen, I agreee with stopping contact with XH for now. He sounds like he lacks maturity. Hugs for poor DD too.

    jinky hugs for you and gran

    jenny I would have taken the day off for a 12 year old.

    Hi pipersky and all the other new flyladies.

    Hope you are doing a bit better diva.

    Hi and hugs toots and L_l

    Morning all. Dh has killed my mop bucket leaving it out in the frost and snow. Can't mop anything!
    How much did you pay him to do that, and will he come round here and kill mine too?

    My US assistant is currently online and chatting to me and my UK assistant ... she's up early because she's in labour and for some reason is working??? Presumably to keep her mind off things...
