Weekly Flylady Thread 2nd May 2011

JayJay14

Good morning,

Happy Birthday Triker - have a great time on the boat, I'm always at my happiest on water, very relaxing.

May not get much done today, though there are parts of the house that really do look quite good after the last two weeks of fluttering. I need to fling a pile of stuff I heaped in the sitting room a few days ago and put away some CDs that have strayed.

Have a great weekend whatever you are doing.

ok my perpetual room of doom is the kids room which has a collapsed chest of drawers so the clothes are everywhere...

but the living room has now become the room of doom as well as i have not done anything in there for ages and i don't even go in there any more.... i seem to live in the kitchen...when i am home but don't seem to be home anymore...

anyway off to do my sales patter...

and hope the housework fairies visit whilst i am out..

not even sure what to have for tea when i return...but i am going to be out and surrounded by food all day...so will not feel like cooking when i return....ironic smiley - farmers market sales all day and then i will probably resort to a take away for tea! after trying to convince others to cook using proper good quality local ethical ingredients - how terrible is that - now i have wrote it i must be able to sort out something better than a takeaway for my own tea...

aghghg i need my life more organised ..
