    Hello all,

    I am in again, although things here are a bit 'bleugh'. Feel like I have my black dog following me round and devouring all my motivation in the process.

    Anyway I need to get myself moving. As my parents are on their holidays I do not have mum here every day to kick me into gear and I am really noticing her absence. I am going to get washed and dressed (yes still being a lazy moo) and then go for a walk around outside, checking the farm and mum n dads house etc. Then it will be back and a start on todays job list.

    Well, I had intended following One Step’s example this morning and getting up half an hour earlier – but woke up with the headache I have had for the last three days but worse, so lay there wondering whether I was even going to try to get to work – but did – have concluded this may be a variety of bug doing the rounds – I still want to go back to bed. And I have two spots - can't even remember when I last had a spot.

    Special thoughts for Grateful, Chunters and Doozergirl – their families and friends, not forgetting everyone else who needs some TLC just now.

    :eek: about all those Flyladies who have been called by names other than “wonderful, fantastic, amazing and lovely”.

    And I too am so glad to the person who explained what FCC was – I thought I was entering into a conversation about Football Clubs of erm Cousework or something. Anyway, now I know who they are, I am very grateful.

    Thought I would post my schedule for the week (apart from work) so I could see what flying time I will have left –

    Monday Training
    Tuesday NWR
    Wedesday Dog training
    Thursday CM Baking

    And I have selected a list of extras from my never ending To Do List – I’m going to see if I can challenge myself to tackle ten this week. I'll work up to the 200+ List when (a) I am feeling much much stronger and (b) I have written it!

    CM Minutes
    Charity Cash to Bank
    2 x e-mails re business weekend in March
    CM Baking
    Post HC Forms
    Order energy saving do-dahs for in-laws
    See Gym Trainer
    Send off Christmas present to DB (now it’s arrived!)
    Clear at least one item from RoD every day
    Deliver paperwork etc round village

    I have been thinking through all the helpful comments, ideas and strategies that you have been suggesting. I am formulating plans, and thinking about hurdles, but am definitely still in nappies.

    OK which daft fool forgot to put the washing liquid on the WM earlier?!?!?!

    Said WM drained and liquid put in> I have done some ironing and taken it upstairs, ready to go away later.

    Oooooooooooooooooooo tremble knees, Due South is on :D *series record* set. Missed some of them already boo. Only noticed because I am having a break and some Christmas cake with a cup of tea for lunch.

    I'm in again this week, thanks to all at FCC. This morning I've
    • cleared and swept the porch (while on the phone to the ins co cancelling my policy - nothing like multitasking :D)
    • made an appt at the opticians for DD
    • been food shopping
    Done nothing since picking DS up except had lunch and sit on here - need to get going again.

    Have to get at least downstairs looking beautiful by Friday as have friends coming over and one of them will be cooking dinner in my kitchen:eek:

    Started decluttering DD's room over the weekend - threw a few things away and relocated younger stuff into DS's room.

    Also managed to clear two shelves in the LR so now they just have pictures on them :)

    Hope everyone has a good week

    Afternoon all,

    No flying to report but i have been to the school and had a word, hopefully that'll be the end of that.:cool:

    I've posted a parcel and bought most of Ds2's Birthday presents and food for the party and put it away. I've got to go back tomorrow for one last thing.

    I've also collected a black bag of off cuts of fabric from a freecycler :j is full to bursting of the most lovely bits of fabric so i'm very happy.

    I just made a coffee but by the time i went to drink it it was cold so i'm going to make myself another one and list some more stuff in my shop. I'll be flying once i've picked the boys up.
