Weekly Flylady Thread 7th March 2011

poohbear59

LW I haven't looked at the census form so didn't know there was a question about health. Not looking forward to it as I too was very badly affected by DLA forms. It does make you feel worse thinking about it all.

We have bright sunshine here again today; 7 out of the last 8 days so it makes me feel a bit brighter. I am going to go and do a bit of gentle weeding. I can sit on the wall and do a little in the raised beds. Will delegate some bedroom flying to others later today. Bed was changed yesterday as our huge dog jumped on it with very muddy paws.

grateful I understand frustration about being tired. I have that t shirt, I am afraid but don't worry about moaning about it. Sometimes letting it all out helps. It is more tiring feeling frustrated and not being able to talk about it.

About your friend's wedding: I would go for a short while. In the past I would avoid going out but now I go for as long as I feel able and figure that friends and family will understand and if they don't I no longer care. You have a pretty good excuse for not being able to manage being there for long. Do what feels right for you.

Thanks, nothing really, frustrated with how extremely tired I am, but can't moan too much as at least I know it will pass soon, unlike some of my fellow flyladies.

Also there is a little family power struggle about to ensue...and I am determined to make sure I fight the last round in it, and win;)

DH thinks there is no struggle, but that's cos he's a man:mad:

*Sigh* well, you know the saying.... "If brains was a disease, men would all be healthy".:D:o

Ooh, what a naughty dog! The questions aren't too awful, it was just me being a wuss.
There are two that hit me in the gut...
One asks "how is your health in general?" and you tick Very good, Good, Fair, Bad or Very bad.
The other is "Are your day-to-day activities limited because of a health problem or disability which has lasted, or is expected to last, at least 12 months?" and you tick Yes, limited a lot or Yes, limited a little or No.
There's also a question Mr LW has to answer Yes to, it asks if you're a Carer, and for how many hours a week (Options are No, Yes 1-19 hrs, Yes 20-49 hrs, or Yes 50 or more hrs a week.) HTH:o

She think of sumat else that i used to over look till I joined here.

Got our jolly old census form yesterday, so we spent a while last night sorting out how to fill it in.:eek: Mr LW had to log onto his work laptop to see what his shiny new job title is:D (basically, he's still a Database Administrator, but they don't call it that anymore).*rolleyes*

I'm feeling a tad down, having had to look at the bit about health - it's the same as when I've filled in DLA forms, in that it makes you focus on problems that you usually just kick under the carpet and get on with what you have to do, iyswim.:(

Know where you are coming from but I just filled ours in online and I can't say that the questions were too bad, there is no tick box for WOLFIE under religion though :D

Also paid for car tax online and Forestry Commission Discovery Pass. Very easy to spend lots of money with the click of a button.

Is there one for Jedi though??? I seem to remember there were a LOT of people filled in the 2001 (or maybe 1991) one with that as their religion.

Ok, I'm pressing on....
Anyone feel like an HHC Right Now?

More items listed on ebay (hopefully should get a decent price) dot2dotting done, WM fed, TD empited and folded, stais cleared, lunch had, HDD decluttered a bit more. Phew!

On our census there were 3 people here last time, this time there are 3 but not the same 3 and I HATE filling in marital status on anything these days. In my mind I am still married but I was a good girl and put the technically correct answer.

Going to do some more dots before school/PO/Recycling/Food shop/DH visit, leaving the best till last
