Weekly Flylady Thread 19th July 2010

roundtuit

((onestep)) and anyone else that needs a hug..I'm throwing one your way now...catch

Thankyou for explaining the spoons and the parrots. I'd sortof worked out the spoons but parrots??? Mind was boggling :think:

oh my I was so thrilled yesterday - I decluttered a worktop in the kitchen, cleaned it, and now there's just my fruit bowl - bought for me by DS 'cause it matches the colours in the kitchen (blue & yellow) - on there.

You'll think I'm sad, but I had to keep going in there and just looking at this clear, clean space and smiling at it. AND I chucked out the tatty old fruitbowl !!!

Today I'm going to declutter the bureau part of the wall unit in the living room - then I'll be able to use it to store papers etc that I actually do need to keep....which at the moment are heaped on every flat surface available floor, sofa, chairs, dining table, heyho one step at a time.

My depression and anxiety are kept in check by fluoxetine and propanalol....although I still 'freak' occasionally. This thread is helping sooo much as it's motivating without pressurising. Thankyou xx

One day the CHAOS will be gone and on that day I'll invite the nearest flylady over for a cuppa tea and a slice of cake to celebrate.....ooooh I now have visions of a mad flurry of flylady properties going up for sale as you all try and get as far away from North Lincolnshire as possible...sigh

Now for that bureau xx

Oh Onestep,
Big hugs to you.
I know it is an awful decision to make but one you will be able to do when the time is right.:(
Can you think of all the great times you have had together and give her a big hug and tell her? ...... and then it will be time.....

I had to take two elderly cats to the vets about a month apart. I couldnt speak at both visits at all........the vet understood......:o

Thinking of you,

Nope, we're probably arranging car shares and booking advance train tickets to North Lincolnshire....!

I found my Round Tuit coaster at the weekend: sadly, my "get up and go" wasn't with it, I must have stuffed it in a different box when the window fitters arrived.;)

It appears we may not be going to Bletchley Park tomorrow due to the possibility of rain. Won't be going to the pictures to see Inception, either as it's school holidays. :mad:Ooh, I think there's a rant coming on, it isn't a flying related rant so I'll take it away from here!:D

Healing vibes to all species...
