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

Well I though I'd make a start on my list as I know I'll be uplate to night and end up sleeping in in the morning, so this gives me a chance to stay on top of things

So only the hoovering and meal planning off my list. I also need to unload the WM to put in the TD or on the line depending on the weather tomorrowand the DW needs unloading and reloading.
As OH is off tomorrow I may try and get him to S&S the bathroom and downstairs toilet, while I S&S the kitchen."Let your boat of life be light, pack only what you need- A homely home and simple pleasures,one or two friends worth the name, someone to love and someone who loves you, a cat, a dog, a pipe or two enough to eat, enough to wear and a little more than enough to drink, as thirst is a dangerous thing" Jerome k.

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!0 -
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?
