Weekly Flylady Thread 21st March 2011

OK, so what is this one to be nicknamed, Piggers, now you've crept out of the particular thread's closet? We have Squeak, after all, perhaps 'Bubble' would be appropriate? :rotfl:

Lit my first BBQ ever today - always had menfolk taking over and ruining them before - but I could take it easy and stack it/light it just the way I wanted.

None of those nasty burger or sausage thingies here - lovely lumps of cow, two sweet potatoes, spring onions and some fresh king prawns. Cue two very full people and a squadron of stroppy moglets wondering why they only had meat splodges for dinner. Still glowing beautifully now. Next time I'll do fish, I think.

Congrats Piggers, hope it goes well and all that...

Hello all; this is being typed from my poorly-station, lying doen on the sofa.

Afore I forget to say it....Congratulations Squeak on your forthcoming younger sibling.:D

Juliebunny profound apologies for not replying to your request for help finding a meal plan thread (good ol' Toots to the rescue there:T:T:T) I tend to skim-read, and must've not taken in your post. Much contrition!

LameWolf thats good that you have a date to get organised for now - you mentioned 'giving up' totally but the problems it would cause the area guy - well excuse me young lady that is not your problem! it sounds like you have done far more than your fair share. It is the same in loads or organisations - the same people get put upon and do all the work. Do you enjoy doing it?

Usually, yes, unless I'm 'orribly behind with other things.

How much time does it take up?

It varies - anything from 30 mins to a couple of hours a week, on average.

What would you do with the time if you weren't doing it?

Copulate proboscis! (that's a Colin-ism for f*** knows!):D - probably nothing extra, but not be scrabbling around quite so much to try and keep up with my tasks. Who knows - I might even fit in the compulsory me-time on the Fly-list!:rotfl:

Does the paperwork take up a lot of space that you could utilise?

YES YES YES YES YES

If you get more woofies would you still have the inclination to be doing it?

Yes

Is it a chore?

Sort of.

maybe the time is right for you to handover - only you know - but you musnt be worrying about the consequences for others that just causes stress (((hugs)))

Thanks Toots:A - I thought I'd go through the things you said and actually answer the questions, as it helps get it straight in my mind.;)

What I think I'll do at this stage is say that I'd like to get rid of the 2nd area that I took on temporarily about 5 years ago. If they can get someone to take that, I'll just be left with my own area - and a third of what I'm doing now! Once that's achieved, I can make noises about standing down altogether, if I still feel I want out.:o

Thank you all for the kind and wise words, and encouragement.:A

Dot.

Squeak was so called because at the first scan there was a sac.. like a bubble.. so she became squeak..

This.. is Dot.

Oooh huge congratulations to you Piggers, and to squeaks daddy too How has he taken the news? Is he still in shock?:)

Squishy hugs from a distance..xxxx

Boddy maybe if DGS does cause problems DD's father will be able to help her - has she considered that? Its only natural for her to be anxious - perhaps you should do some reiki on her that day - pleased to see you enjoyed today and I am sure you will cope with a meal when he is here (((hugs)))

We have sheds lol!

DS1 is looking at flats next week supposedly!

I have no choice but to take it easy.. my SPD is starting up already.. I have been toldnot to lift anything.. of course.. I have a 7 month old baby I can manage that! I have a referral for physio so if I don't have an appointment through in the next 3-4 weeks i'll be dancing on heads!

We are keeping close watch on the kidney function and the liver function and the antibodies!!!
