Weekly Flylady Thread 18th October 2010

Is it crazy that I'm actually excited that I've managed to keep up this week? I've found things easier to keep on top of already, and if I've spent a couple of hours deep cleaning one room I find I'm more inclined to keep it tidy too (not that I'm hugely messy, just things like washing the pots...roll on the new dishwasher) :j

Well mum and dad have just left and it was lovely to see them, we had lunch together and a good natter, mum seems to have recovered from the bump on the head last month although she did tell me the same things several times, mind you she was like that before the bump!!!

My new book arrived-Gok Wan's autobiography, just read the first few pages, quite a readable style so will read more later on today

Flying wise I have fed the wm and td (which doesn't seem to be working :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:) so I have put the radiators on and draped washing every where... not ideal...and s&s the bathroom

just about to go out for a short walk and then have a nap!! Will catch up with you all later

Mudbath

Aww thank you dusty xx

Pollybear - are you covered in white fur? I'm guessing you are because I've just given stripes your cuddle!! Thank you xx

Mollina girl - she has intermittent lameness which has meant total rest for two weeks but it hadn't improved. Vets think it's a degenerative condition or a nerve problem. She's having lots of tests and so far some real nasties have been ruled out so fingers crossed! She broke her leg last year but they don't think that's causing the problem. She's adorable. Sadly, she's a bit nesh when she has anything done and doesn't understand why she can't have attention 24/7 - she'll be threatening to runaway to her Auntie Tootles again! Thank you for your concern.

I've managed a bit more tidying up but everytime I leave the room she paces around so I guess I'll have to do the right thing and put my feet up next to her bed:D xx
