    Has anyone seen the message on FLY lady. net about forums using their system/info, is it directed at us?.:o

    It is with Kelly's daily mission.

    No, I can quite assure you I do not EVER set eyeball over there.. that is the dark side!!!

    I look for what you lot say you've not done and work that in with the basic weekly tasks that need doing.. I quite often copy and paste one of my own lists and change a few things about.. you can tell I don't use their lists.. knickers are NOT pantyhose, the letter u belongs in words such as colour, favourite and sulphur is spelled with a 'ph' (though yes I am fully aware of the addition of the word spelled with an f being added to the Oxford English dictionary). Any similarities between my lists and theirs are purely coincidental.

    I have done dinner which only Tiddles ate.. ungrateful little snots!!, put the 4 youngest children to bed an hour early, including the baby who has refused to sleep more than 2 1 minutes stretches since her nap this morning.. ratbag!! DW been on twice, TD on again, Shopping put away and table cleared again.

    Decluttered some fudge.. nom.. and now going to make a cuppa.. and I broke a nail.. *sniff* glad it is almost Friday!

    Hi all,
    No list-flying done today, but did my dailies. Have spent all day on paperwork, so that's the companies house stuff decluttered, the VAT decluttered and my self asessment decluttered. Also booked all our equipment-hire/main ring stuff for business and investigated further options. Also put my hands up to my complete inability to do payroll at a running jump (why do so many people have so much faith in my ability to absorb knowledge) and e-mailed our accountant to say put someone on the case, so, if they do, will have decluttered that to them. It was seriously too much on top of everything else and I'm not superwoman.
    Had the kitten (DD2's pet name) off school ill today as well as the Jampot (again what we call DS1) but at least I seem to be getting over this hideous bug. Will catch up on list tomorrow.
    Did not go to Perth for light treatment (not safe to drive the way I was feeling) nor did I go to my dressmaking class.... however I'm not sorry about that. Lovely class, lovely people, but-and I'm really trying not to be big headed about this- I don't think it's teaching me anything at all, or at least I'm not getting from it what I expected. I don't mind tacking, and *do* want french seams and finishing techniques, and something that screams that time has been taken over it-and they just don't, to the point at which I feel a bit silly and OCD for wanting these things. Which is fine;we're just not singing the same tune, that's all, and I should accept it.
    Did do my dailies though, and various washes/dries/putting aways. Also sorted out hubby's sock/pant's emporium (which was stuffed into two small drawers)
    (sorry if the earlier part of this is a bit workey rather than householdy, but the two things tend to get mixed up for me as I work from home, so I add them to my lists, then I can look back at what I've achieved. I tend to completely ignore my achievements and concentrate on problems (with added feelings of continual dread which lead me to get panicky), so doing this is a concerted effort to recognise what I have done. If you guys mind, then please PM me and I'll not, I could just as easily keep a spreadsheet. x)
    shysarah Are you a fishing girl too then? Flyboxes everywhere and random flies found in strange places?.....and don't mention the time that we got given some fly-tying feathers that had moth eggs on them..... :)
    Maxonian <<hugs>> You sound so weary. We all know "no" should mean "no" but sometimes it's so difficult to make people understand that they should respect that. I hope you get a rest, and that you put yourself first for once, otherwise no one will get a bit of you at all xx
    Natty, Love, how horrible re the vertigo, but good you have a diagnosis. Hope you're being kind to yourself. I had it a few years ago along with tinitus. Horrible, horrible thing. x
    Saving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.
    Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.
