    Thankyou to all the flyers that post it really keeps the spirits up. Well i did really well till Friday. My day off from GC and planned on doing bathroom and toilet but spent most of the day phoning round to sort some things out for Mum and Dad. Kept up with the dailies and the washing but didn't manage to read any of the flying threads since Friday. Some good news, i sorted all the broken scraps,and i do mean scraps of gold in my junk er jewelry box, broken earings mainly hollow hoops, broken chain so thin and broken, broken bracelet bits, 3 really thin cheapo gold rings and took them to a jewellers to be weighed in as scrap and got wait for it £150 :eek: gobsmacked as i thought there might have been £30 quid at the most, so ladies start decluttering your jewellery box, all mine would honestly have gone in the bin if it wasn't for a good friend of mine telling me to take it to the jewellers. Oh and what did i splurge it on ..... some desperately needed tyres for car and i don't even drive.:rotfl:Oh well , kept the wolf from the door or should i say 3 points prevented. Take care everyone and hugs to all who need/want them x

    I'm in too - tomorrow I will do some of the list but Mt Ironmore must be scaled. The ironing is stored in the dining room, which is the only room not to be blitzed by Team Yorkie this weekend.

    Why wasn't it blitzed? Cos it's full of ironing!

    DD1 at hospital tomorrow at 3pm (ME clinic) - so all flying will have to be before I go to work!

    Welcome to all newbies - it's a great community here - some tremendous ideas and great personalities!

    And yet again, many thanks to all at Flylady Central Command!

    I'm in - thanks to all at FCC.

    Not sure how much I'll get done tomorrow as it's Beavers but we'll see.

    Helen - hope your dad's on the mend soon - hugs.

    LW - I'm sure and Mr LW will say a better goodbye at home.

    Night all

    Triker - thanks for asking. I try not to moan on about it (although OH would probably say otherwise :cool: ). The tests came back inconclusive so they think psioratic arthritus or fibromalgia, I did mention Lymes and the quack said that I would have had an obvious tick or insect bite which I haven't. Greenbee and Poohbear have both been very helpful via the fitness thread we have on facebook, as has Sockdrawer. Like you I am bored of being tired and sore, and I need to learn to accept it which I am struggling with.
    Hex, I have psoriatic arthritis so you have my sympathy - painful and exhausting. A few xmas's ago my jaw ceased shut - had to liquidise xmas dinner:eek: (and for next 6 weeks).
    Have you come across PHO - a wonderful forum for support and info for P & PA sufferers? And a good place have a damn good whimper on bad days and practical suggestions to help.

    Back on topic - miraculously 'we' rather than 'I' having been having a major declutter this PM - shredded a bigbag full of old paperwork:j:j
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    aha...that's good.I thought it would be kitchen tomorrow so I've been getting a head start by doing things really thoroughly over the weekend :rotfl:In stead I get living room and a better head start on kitchen than otherwise :D:D

    That's great. I need to do back hall and utility too. DH probably wrote our car off today :( thank fully doing himself no harm:j so will have to find out things for that, how bad what the timings are..and whether I need to buy or hire a replacement...we're really car dependant where we are. I guess that will be a while on paper work/phone. This is new territory for us.
