Weekly Flylady Thread 6th September 2010

Dustykitten

I've forgotten how exhausting proper flying is - and how much electricity it uses based on the monitor :eek:

I'm having lunch already!

Holly hugs for you, first days are tough on Mums - by Friday expect tears as the tiredness sets in.

Polka congratulations on the birth of your second son. If that scar is sore then get it looked at asap (not just by hubbie!).

Just going to do a few bits on here and then back to the hoovering.

I've been a busy bee this morning and yesterday, and only just had chance to look at the list! :rotfl:I've not washed nets etc, but we only moved in a couple of weeks ago and everything went through the washer then. I've got a couple of boxes of bits waiting at the top of the stairs to be sent to various rooms, which I'll do when I come back from work. Have asked OH to hoover the stairs for me as I hate battling the hoover but he loves it :eek:

You've also reminded me that I need to list my old winter coat on eBay, that'll be a job to do this evening! Will tackle the basket of paperwork on my desk too. It's funny but it all seems to be getting easier already and I've only been doing this half heartedly for a couple of weeks. I'm feeling inspired to keep going properly this week now :T

Well I've just decluttered another edited plan to my friend. She sent me a text asking if I could look at the others for her if I'm not working as she is panicking that she still has loads to do. I'm not goign to spend all day doing them though (as Valli said last week, she does have to do her own planning and not just rely on me to help her).

Afternoon all

I've done today's list and I've also done the kitchen/dinner so I can have a lazy day tomorrow!

I've done some washing and dried some and some more nearly there so I'm watching the weather very closely as it was supposed to be raining before now.

Hope everyone's OK.
