Weekly Flylady Thread 19th July 2010

Patio swept and deweeded..
bucket of rubble from broken plant pots (thank you cats!) taken to the bin.. that was heavy!
Another load of washing hung out..
and the WM is on AGAIN!

I 'was' going to go whinge at the mw round the corner this afternoon but other than I have no shoes I can get my feet in because they are so horrifically swollen.. they actually hurt to think about! .. I couldn't be faffed.. they only pee me off.. I just wanted to make sure I didn't have some underlying reason for the obese feet and hands.. and the high BP.. (I have pretty twinkly stars if I move faster than a slug!)

Podiatry chased about Moomins insoles.. the podaitrist is dropping them rond on her way home tonight apparently.

School chased AGAIN about DS2.. this is the third time I have contacted them about his violent behaviour and the DLA forms.. I want it noting on those he has been violent at school and at home! They keep saying they will ring me back which is simply not goo denogh.. if they don't ring me back TODAY I am going in tomorrow to see the head.. they WILL give me answers!

I need some food for dinner tonight.. and again the shoe issue is proving difficult.. I have been wearing shoes 2 sizes too big as it is and now I cannot get them on!!

I know I will get shot down in flames if I make a comment .... hopefully it's just the heat causing the swelling .... I'm concerned about the "twinkly stars" tho .... bearing in mind I was a nurse before illness struck just take care please .... if only to keep me happy & stop me fretting about you & Squeak xx

I know.. but I am not going to subject myself to the disgusting service at the hospital here and I know the minute they see me they will want me to go.. and I am just stubborn and stroppy..

I have no pain other than the usual pains and whinging and hopefully not long left..

I don't think it is just the heat TBH.. but it'll be fine.. I am not stupid just difficult!

You're braver than me, but pre-eclampsia sprang to my mind, too

Have done the living room and it smells fab - i used lemon essential oil mixture to clean down the surfaces. May have to forego cleaning out the car today due to the torrential downpour currently in progress.

Tuesday and Wednesday both done. The house is looking much better. Your kitten is gorgeous Gunsnroses. Sounds like you won't be waiting much longer Pigpen.

Best wishes

old dog was put to sleep this afternoon, and will be buried under a new sweet chestnut tree in the garden. I didn't know it was possible to feel this much grief and relief at the same time.. I didn't cry this much after my miscarriages!!!

only flying has been scrubbing the carpet where she had her last accident

thanks for all the messages - they mean a lot

Hugs onestep - it isn't that long ago that my dog died so I know how you're feeling. Is DH home yet to cuddle up to?

Not with a bit of swelling and a few pretty lights.. I feel fine.. apart from miserable and stroppy, I have no rib pain, no vomitting, no headaches & baby is plenty active.. though has been slightly quieter the last week anyway. so there is no reason to think it is anything other than normal... ish.. so it quite definitely isn't that

I will go find something to scrub then.. Actually I have 2 chests of drawers to sort through and 1 to fling and 3 to bring upstairs and several crates of books to empty onto the new bookcase...

Wonder if I can find some more stuff to fling!

Onestep big big hugs.. and you did what you had to.. the hardest yet best thing you could ever give her.. freedom from her pain and suffering.. I am sure she was thankful for that. I cried more over my lost furries than m/c's too..
