Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd January 2011

Well, drove her down there and, as there was a 90 minute wait she's decided she can hang out until the morning and see her GP. I reckon it's just a knock on from the flu and it's purely a swollen lymph gland but she panicked.

Ah well, I have my Sunday afternoon back. Chickens have been mucked out and there's another load of washing ready to go on the line...

Decluttering myself off to bed with a bag of the grumps and I have no idea where it is from.. I am feeling all floopy and deflumped.. I think it may be related to the mediation next Thursday.. I am going to get difficult.. I have 3 things I intend saying.. 1st, I AM leaving at 11:30 wherever we are at; 2nd, I am not being held to ransom over a date/year/childs age that I will sell the house.. he can go to hell... it is my home, I am paying for it and therefore I shall stay here until Tiddles is 19 if I want! If he wants a mortgage with his woman they can get it in her name.. oh no.. she is on incapability so can't get one either.. oh well, ain't my problem.. and 3rd, I refuse to discuss contact arrangements for the children further he obviously isn't interested in seeing the older children anyway, I know it, they know it and he knows it so I am not wasting my breath!

Decluttered remains of roses... nom..

posi - coping vibes coming your way.

I am sending some vibes to your ex - but I daren't post exactly the type on here! Use your imagination!

OH has mucked out our room! Hooray! Unfortunately he has also chosen to file a load of clean washing in with the dirty laundry:mad::mad::mad:.

DD2's AS level photography project is falling apart. The guidelines were only issued last week, AFTER she had started sticking stuff in her project book.

I feel let down by the school - they are running this course for the first time, the teachers have no clue what they are doing, and it is a shambles. They were supposed to to work on their stuff over Christmas but nobody did because you are supposed to use Photoshop...school has it, but we dont! Nowhere in the prospectus does it say you need it at home!

DD2 hadn't done Art or I-media at GCSE but was told this wasn't a problem. It would transpire that it probably is now, in the eyes of the teacher...but 5 months in this is a bit late.

She had a 10 minute strop, but has sensibly decided to spend all day revising Sociology and try and sort the Photography at school tomorrow!

See, now I was all determined last night and I am starting to crumble already.. this is insane.. if it was someone else I was acting on behalf of he'd have been taken to the cleaners, chewed up and the bits spat out.. but doing it for myself I am such a pansy!!!

Well I am going to keep reminding you of what you said (see below)- we will have you all determined and ready to chew anybody by Thursday:D

repeat after me - I take no prisoners - I have had enough from ex - I can do this!

Sorry not been around for couple of days but still trying hard as newbie flyer.

Amazingly managed to keep kitchen / bathroom / lounge and main bedroom looking amazingly neat.

My spare room is definitely my Room of Doom!! I did try and tackle a bit on friday and will again today but think it might take a while to be fully sorted. Plus my hall is a bit messy again as I've got some recycling piles and empty storage boxes awaiting sorted stuff from RofD :rotfl:

Very much looking forward to keeping this going through week two. Thanks for all the inspiration :T

Thanks. I'll have a look. I do use walk/jog/run, but spend more time fiddling about with routes than I do running
