I'm seriously thinking of asking Toots to put me on Lurker status. I don't want to get chucked off the Flylady list, because I do find that following it keeps me focussed, and stops me going mad on "good" days then spending 2 or 3 weeks flat on my back.
But I'm increasingly aware that I don't have enough to offer the rest of you lovely people, and I'm a drain on everyone's energy.:( I'm sorry, I never intended to be a nuisance.:(
Oh gods, sorry, BD has me by the neck tonight.:(
Hi Lamewolf Please don't stop posting I enjoy reading your posts and your recent ones about how you looked after Sidney, you should give yourself some credit for it. You are not a drain but your posts would be missed by a lot of us so please reconsider xx:jmember of the thrifty gifty 2011 :j0 -
Righty ho
sink in clean and shiny
all washing up is put away
washing is folded and ready for OH to iron
bedroom is clean and tidy
bathroom is immaculate
can you tell I am on half term? LOL
I have lost count on my reports wanted to finish YR4 but the last 3 had a glitch and there was no report from last year (I will have to get the paper copy from work-boo hoo) as I taught some of the children last year I need to make sure I don't put the same thing as I did last year, for some odd reason all children with surnames from w onwards have no copy of last years report (??)
night night all sleep wellGo hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last0 -
Are you sure it's really her?
:p
There will be a pod stashed under the bed. Same as under DD2's, although the friend visiting for her 11th birthday tomorrow may be a stimulus there.
The bathroom is clean. The front room is habitable. DD's room is alarmingly undisgusting (is that a word?). My room looks like the great clothes monster of doom has crawled into it and fallen down behind the door waiting to die. The hallway has had the cat's little hiccup after breakfast cleaned, and because it showed up the rest of the hall, the entire thing has been mopped and scrubbed. The plants have all had a shower and have been replaced somewhere strategic rather than left quite happily in the bath where I tend to let them stay.
She had better like her USB microscope (as requested months ago) and her iPod touch (not requested, is a complete wishlist item for her, and she is pretty certain I would never get her something like that). And her visit to the cinema with her friend...
Overcompensating? Me? Surely not.....
LW shall I pop up there on the 11th, (like I said I was due to for a Day School) and do a late night switch where you wake up on the Saturday morning to find someone has abducted your BD and exchanged it for a giant concrete cow in your living room? Don't stop posting!
Thank you everyone who has said such nice things to me - it does feel better to know that it's not just me. And that it might not be my fault. xxxI could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -

LW~~~~~The flyladies are on their way to visit
I am free on Saturday afternoon, the morning is to be spent flying, would love to pop over and have a natter, and remove the BD from your house for you, no doubt you will have an excuse as to why I shouldn't visit, but the love and support is there and don't you dare go into lurking status.

NOT ON YOUR NELLY do you hear me?! You contribute to this like the rest of us. I am one of the worst when it comes to even vaguely following the lists. The main thing is you are doing some flying and you are getting the support of us. You can't leaveDustykitten wrote: »Lamewolf - look around you, they often isn't a whole load of flying going on so don't feel bad. We call it the flylady thread and take it in turns to do a bit of 'light' housework and the rest of the time we take it in turns to have crisis and the others support us. I hope you stay because we need you too.
Dusty, that is a brilliant description of this thread :rotfl:0 -
