    here again yay. i'm feeling abit om where do i start at the mo. i've just been started on some tablets from the doctor cause i;ve had pains and no energy. They are working so well at the mo that i've realised I have had this no energy thing for at longer than I realised, I used to think I was just lazy and I used to get annoyed with myself cause housework and things to do with it didn't come natural but now I have more energy they are seeming to come natural. Only problem is I've got a year and a half worth of clutter and mess to work though (would of been longer if we hadn't moved). I gave the living room and kitchen a good going over today and it feels so good to have a tidy house and not have to get up to it in the morning. I can go out tommorrow. anyway just had to share cause i feel great

    Morning All

    I haven't had much sleep and I feel lousy so don't think I'll be going to Beavers tonight. Don't really feel like going to work but I don't think having a sore throat is a good enough reason to take the day off regardless of the fact that it hurts to eat, drink, swallow and everything else. Sorry that sounded like a right whinge.

    Anyway, the WM & TD have both been emptied and reloaded, I need to do some ironing so the kids have got uniform so I'll think about that shortly.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Hope you feel better soon jue. I'm just suffering from chronic laziness as I should have got out of bed at 6am when the alarm went off!

    Might get up now, as there is lots to do before I leave (and I'll have to be up early tomorrow as my taxi gets here at 7am!

    I understand the flylady principle as I started flylady years ago but couldnt cope with the americanisms. So finding this is a god send as I have got really lazy and need a shove every day etc.

    I still am pretty good with the every day bits and the shopping washing and ironing etc get done ok its the actual room stuff I fail on.

    So I am in from today and I assume a new list is posted each day?
