Post as often as you can!!! They can't be fussy I am here:DYou are not an outsider you are a Flylady like the rest of us, If you don't tell us what is wrong though we can't help and believe me the advice I have got on here and support has been invaluable, I do find it hard keeping on top of things but it has got easier as time has gone on, My health is going down hill as well and trying to raise 3 kids two who have health problems as well can get on top of you thats why I find flyladys so good because everyone is so supportive despite the fact others have there own problems to.
There are days we all lack motivation and this is no competition to see who gets what done first so if you dont feel like it don't do it if you can keep on top of the dailies the rest will follow take baby steps it is the best way.

Sorry just one more I promise:o Just to say thank you. You sound in a similar position to me and hearing you say it has got easier helps.

Really am going away now:o

Just had my SiL on the phone. FiL has taken a turn for the worst and is now on heart monitors and oxygen. He is going for a scan as they think there is a lung and prostate problem to add to the mix. Not looking good. OH going over later to the hospital. This is turning out to be one of those days. I always find it hard on this date without more.
Not sure what to do with myself.

Came home from there cooked chicken, pot's, roasties and carrots. Did the school run for DD plus friend, finished doing the dinner. Friends mum came and took them to hers, and they are going for McD's!!!!!

Phew I'm shattered. I've been ironing since I last posted and I am now sitting here with a well deserved cup of tea. Although I think I may make another one as I have just drunk this one and I don't think it touched the sides..lol

I must be sad I actually washed the kitchen floor while I was waiting for the kettle to boil, more than once..lol I didn't realise how dirty it was..ugh!!! I feel ashamed now Still at least it's nice and clean, but the darn cat has just walked across it and I have wet paws on it..oh bless her.

Rhubarb is all cooked for tonights pud, can't decide whether to make a crumble or to have it as it is and dribble it over vanilla ice cream, from the freezer. Think it might be a dribble as it's way too hot to have the oven on.. I'm even shoving all the veg for the tea tonight in one pan so I don't have to have more than necessary on the hob, luckily the new potatoes and baby carrots cook the same time so it won't make much difference if they are in the same pan.

Toots I texted you earlier hon, but not sure if you got it.. Bit late to do what I said I was going to do..maybe tomorrow now if you reply back to me.

Aaaaah nails..I can't get used to them on the keyboard. It does feel weird having them though..think I might treat myself to a nice pale pink nail polish when we go shopping at the weekend.
