Weekly Flylady Thread 7th February 2011

Neveah, I am really sorry to hear about your dog and DD, no wonder you have been so upset. I hope DD recovers soon. For what it's worth you are doing absolutely the right thing sending him back but you'd never be able to trust him again would you. Big hugs, it's very sad (((Neveah)))

Lady L, thanks for letting us know about Mudbath - I hope she recovers soon and is able to come home. Send our love to her please.


DH home and gone straight to bed (he nearly fell asleep in a meeting!) so I'll leave it a bit and then do bangers and mash for tea. Will do that little bit of ironing first methinks whilst the kids watch TV.

Poor Mudders - sending lots of healing vibes for my lovely squirrel friend.

Please can somebody repost the link so I can relight my candle?

Polly it won't be long until you can sit out on the bench and enjoy a cuppa in the sunshine

Achieved very little so far today. Fire is lit. Just going to have words with DS3 who has been sent to his room to think. Check on DS2 who is aching and feeling rough and then a HHC at 4:30

Hi all.
It's been a long time since I popped in to say hello - hope everyone is well. I'm hoping to get myself motivated and get back on here ASAP! House is such a mess!! I'm back to work part time following my maternity leave, OH is working ridiculously long hours (unfortunately not for any more money) and I'm finding it hard to organise myself with 3 little ones!

Neveah so sorry to hear your sad news. Sending you strength and your DD pain free healing vibes
