    Hi all.
    I have been 'studying' the flylady website on and off all week and have subscribed to they emails etc.
    My flat is a nightmare and I found out 2 weeks ago that I will be moving any time soon :eek: I'm in temporary accomodation,didn't think I would be leaving here for another year but because they need to put heating in (I have none!) they are going to let me move early so I am totally unprepared! :eek:

    I have only lived here since June and didn't come with much as I came from a refuge but bejays I have accumilated so much crap! :o
    So I am going to spend the next week de-cluttering and sorting out as well as building up my routines, there was a time when I would be absolutely tearing my hair out at the thought of all this, but just recently I have made a conscious effort to kick myself up the backside and sort my life out, from loosing weight to improving my parenting skills, spending more time with my 2 amazing children and trying to better myself acedemicaly (haha I can't even spell that! hence the literacy course :p)

    I probably won't post an awful lot but I will be reading every day, plus I get the emails off the flylady website which is handy to keep me motivted, I am going to buy packing supplies from Safestore self storage next week, using clubcard vouchers I ordered last week which came today so that's £30 towards the cost of the pack so I am even being MSE with that :rotfl: I have also got some coloured highligthers, notebooks, paper and a zip up plastic wallet to put it all in ;)

    I have already done a couple of 15 minute 'crisis cleans' this morning, and put a washload on, just about to chuck the boys in the bath, get ready and go out as me and my cousins are going to pick the flowers for my Grandads funeral next monday.

    Sorry for waffling and thanks for reading x

    Had the week from ugh again, culminating in yet another bullying issue at my DD2's school, happening daily for at least 3 weeks, anyway, long story short is that whilst she was punched in the face by a bully today, she punched her right back....with our blessing because school can obviously not protect or be proactive re bullying. So there we go, sometimes if you can't beat em....beat em. I do not advocate violence but when for the third time in a week my daughter is surrounded and hurt, so what the hey.

    Well done to your DD, she is just right. I swear if i was my DD for the day, i'd be knocking some heads together. :D

    Spent yesterday still with my sore head and then DD came home from school. So phone call to the school and i pointed out everything thats been going on. I'm the second parent to complain about the bad words being use this week. The git who shouted in the hearing aids and nipped her is to write a letter to say sorry and he won't be allowed out next week for break or dinner plus his parents will be told. The other gits will be spoken to on monday morning and hopefully she will call their parents.

    Minister came out for a visit last night and we told him about the bullying so he has offered to go to the school to talk about bullying, so need to talk to the head about that. Also her sensory support worker has been on the phone to see if the school would be interested in someone giving a talk from the NDCS and the head is up for it.

    Right the school shall be put out of my head today and i'll crack on with the house. :D

    Pigpen well done...:T
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Well done Pigpen! That is impressive.

    Have been keeping up with the lists but have been too busy to keep up with the thread. So hugs and spoons as and when.x

    Jigsaw box has been done. That was a small mountain for me. I have a couple of important letters I need to crack on with this weekend. And a date with the iron. Onwards and upwards. x

    Vanilla and Triker hope your children are okay. Well done for hitting back!

    Well done piggers - that's fantastic.

    Happy Birthday zoelikesjam - if you're lurking.

    I suppose I'd better do something.

    Anyone fancy a HHC @ 9?

    Have a good day all
