Weekly Flylady Thread 15th November 2010

lil_me

Thanks for all the messages and good vibes, must have worked as went ok. There is still issues around anxiety related/self harm stuff but we've got a few things in place and review again after Christmas. I've been to get him some 'neutral' stress balls, little padded baby footballs/basket balls etc out of a party gifts set so less likely to be picked on for having them than his purple caterpillar/similar. His psychiatrist has worked out a little plan for when she leaves, he's only being passed to her hubby but being DS1 he's not keen, however her husband is also much more clued up on cognitive behaviour therapy which will be hugely beneficial to DS1. Anyway, all is ok ish we'll see what happens. Oh they sorted me a pass to drop him off in school grounds which will be much safer for him......when they slightly hesitated saying it's a form etc his psych said 'well under the DDA they have to' hehehehe she's fab, got us one straight away. Managed to get out of 2 hours of parents evening hell with doing review today which is always good!

Yes vouchers were nice, I confirmed what they were for doing the work so far, only downside is they don't know me that well/listen to me as they are for MrTs lol which I don't usually use on principal...so for once I will ignore them and make the most of it. Definately make the festive time easier, especially when I add it to a £50 one I just as a thanks for doing another presentation

raph hope the wedding goes well x
Molly41 we use a soft tooth brush usually, dampen if really sticky/grotty. Blow with a fan in a room he doesn't use rather than vacuum if it was me as we have a non adjustable dyson lol air dusters are great. Maplins do little pump things for using on electrical bits.
Poohbear thought so when I looked at the pics it looked more than frost! Holiday cottage, wow!!! Hope the remortgage makes things easier for you.
mummyof5 get well soon x x x x big sign on the door saying 'unclean zone' for bugs lol
Pollybear washing here is the same, oh and I do that sooooo much forget to post after reading or finish reading then need to go out lol x
Hellyboo it's 6 months usually for ibuprofen, poor poppet hope he settles soon x
juliejim thanks for reminding me we need to read the heating thingy manual as we just turn it down low on a night and it's brass buttons on a morning!!!
Mudbath maybe lol we have the same thursdays too!!! Hockey, swimming, cubs back and forwards until about 8.30pm = knackered me!!
Dusty, I have one of those which DP has hidden as I get obsessed with the thing lol Maxonian that sounds like me.....

Waaaaaaa!!! I just realised I have my flu jab tomorrow.....but other than that....I have a day off now what's the bets something comes up - if it doesn't I will get some order back in this house!!! I've just looked at my calendar and the next full day off will be 10th of December......madness is I don't get paid for any of it. I need to get the house sorted by January so it's easier to maintain when I am studying next year, DP will be doing 2 courses for his youth work training by then so will be even less helpful (if that's possible) I have taken some positive action and ordered my set books for my relgion course go me, just need to find some reading for my biological psychology course...

MUST REMEMBER NON UNIFORM DAY FOR MY DS2 TOMORROW!!! I usually read on a morning while waiting for the car to warm up so a message, for me lol

MOAM BINS!!!!!

Evenning all *bend knees smilie*. I went to choir for the first time in weeks (lots of Thursday stuff that DH would normally have done have fallen to me, so I've missed ). Had a good time, and a friend came back and we shared a bottle of wine. We were telling the children what we'd talked about, and it was all food related :rotfl::rotfl: She's veggie, but was interested in looking at my salamis and pancetta and wanted my faggot recipe

well I have a toilet. Old bathroom suite has gone *fling*

I'm really worried about you - when did you last have a bath :eek: :rotfl:

MOAM - I was sending vibes to you to put your bins out and you have :j:j:j May the Force of the Flyladies be with you

I'm going to switch out my light and watch the end of Question Time

See you all tomorrow :A

Back from the theatre - mum has been babysitting as DH didn't get home so she's done some ironing for me - she really is a star. Still not packed so I'll have to do that in the morning. House check for the dog is Monday so 'no problems' vibes for then please.

If I don't get on in the morning, have a good weekend all and I'll catch up with you next week.

Night all

Hello flying folks,

Well, just spent all the way through the thread since my last post and have pretty much no idea what I read. Sooo... Hugs to everyone, whether you need one or not please help yourself to one and pop it somewhere safe for later if need be.

Slept awfully last night, one of those doze a bit, wake a bit, doze a bit,.. etc etc. Finally got to sleep around 5am and then slept through till 11 when a friend called. She does make me laugh... 'Oh, did i wake you'.... 'yes'... 'oh, well now your awake, how are you?'.. Good job she is a good mate or my normal waking personality might have lashed out and I am no good till I have had a coffee.

Went to the local town with mum today - first trip out since the op - it went well but oooooooo did it hurt. Makes me realise I have to take it nice and easy. Still I got a book from the charity shop for 50p and a bag of sticks for kindling. Mum also treated me to some chocolate and a curry which I had for my tea. That reminds me must email Sainsbugs - I am sick and tired of going in there the day after new promotions start to be told either they have run out or they only get one tray of it in when it is on offer. Not good enough. Hmmph..

Got back from town and fell asleep, woke up at 9 feeling a bit ooo what time/day is it and also full of cold. Now had my tea and am sat down with a coffee, lemsup and some ice cream to soothe my throat.

Flying - nil. Shopping - One.
Progress

Okies.. off to have my ice cream.. big loves

Not done very well at all this week - very early mornings leaving the house combined with late returns do not help Flylady along at all! I know it's cheating but I have saved all the day's tasks into one document and will try and play catch up tonight with all the Level one tasks - at least I will have acheived something that way, might even get some 2's and 3's in over the weekend too.

Work is not always like this - this is our busiest week of the year and it might be the last event of this type that we do, due to the local government cutbacks - and I still have a job for now so I'm not complaining!

And there's always next week to start again........
