Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd January 2011

MrsBartolozzi

Hi everyone!
I've not posted much on here, but have been keeping up with level 1 as I hoped to manage and occassionally level 2.
I found out on Thursday that I had a mouse in the kitchen and so much of my cleaning time was spent gutting the kitchen, cleaning behind the fridge and cooker and behind the baseboards of the cupboards:eek:. Luckily it's not been in any food cupboards or on the worktop so that's something at least.
Still not caught the little beggar, as it manages to eat the peanut butter off the traps without setting them off!! It's really frustrating, but the volume of poo suggests there is only 1 rodent so I suppose it could be much worse, but I have no idea how it could have come in, there are no holes I know of, so I don't know where to block up to stop more arriving.
To Toots et al I will be joining in next week too so please add me to the list.

S'ok, we're both alright; but I feel a little easier in myself having put it down here, iyswim.:o

You guys have your own 'saying goodbye' ceremony, it'll be more meaningful and honest and poignant than whatever was going to happen with people who have distorted agendas. xxxx

Just popping in to say :wave:!

Had a very relaxed and lazy evening on Friday and a busy day yesterday, but didn't actually achieve much.
Making up for it today though, mainly with work work and dailies.

Going to put pizza in for tea now, then back to the laptop for planning and anything else on my massive list (or a power nap, as I'm yawning).

I've only read the last couple of pages, but it looks like a lot of you could do with some positive vibes and/or hugs, so I'm sending some.

Will see you on the new thread for my daily post and quick catch-up. x

Have done!

Piggers - as Brightonbelle has said - your ex will have a problem with getting another mortgage (or indeed a council rental propety) whilest he has a 'financial interest' in another property, as my ex discovered when were were in the same situation.

Funnily enough, though, although I did take over the mortgage he STILL hasn't got one with his new partner. What's the betting that the settlement went on the car, clothes and holidays *roll eyes*

Best thing with mediation is to show willing as the courts like you to go (even if you KNOW it will be a waste of time) - again I had this. I used to sit there being reasonable whilst he showed himself up for the narrow minded !"£$%£"" (insert appropriate description of your choice which is less than complimentary;)) he was.

Try chocolate. They have to make more of an effort to get it off the trap, so it usually springs it...

Had a shower, so now at least smell human, even if I don't feel it! Need to sort out some supper and food for tomorrow when I have family here, then sit in front of the fire and write my thank you letters. I'd like to have a bath before bed if I can summon up the energy from somewhere.

TRIKER - WONDERFUL WORDS AND AS ALWAYS EXACTLY RIGHT :A:A:A:A:A
pigpen you should print off Triker's post and read it until you go into mediation - that should keep you on track.

Mrs_B :T:T:T:T:T you are doing exceptionally well - poor Mr B he might find himself swept up and binned if he stands about too long!!!!:D

LameWolf and breath.............! (((hugs))) for a terrible situation - it sounds like DH has chosen the best course of action to avoid more heartache. Well done for staying strong together.

got my hot chocand chillin with ds 2 who is telling me everything id never want to know about dungeons and dragons.

sad dog lady that is sure to make you feel better - bless him:rotfl:
