    Hello flylady friends.

    I'm in this week. Thanks got to Pigpen, Toots and assistants.

    I've been on an ironing marathon this weekend. It's 4 weeks since I had my hand operation and the ironing has built up a bit;).

    1 week until the moonwalk marathon. If any of my flylady friends would like to sponsor be I would be very grateful. PM me and I'll send you a link to the Walk the Walk fundraising site. It's also on my FB page. I've trained through my broken hand and runners knee and it's been an interesting journey. I still have to decorate my bra and it's not easy with a compromised sewing hand!

    I've got to do some extra hours at work this week. It's good because I need some extra money but I have a very busy week and I was only told on Friday. I plan to work all day Monday when the little ones are at school and maybe the same on Wednesday.

    I hope everyone is well and happy and I hope to pay more attention to the the thread this week. I'm still struggling after my phone meltdown and that is why I've dropped off the radar a bit.

    Hi...Would like to join you all.

    Health is not great so tend to get rather tired. Hubby does the washing and a few other things about the house but is not aware of the smaller things (like wiping over worktops and appliances) so these build up and I end up spending a day or two doing major cleaning then a week or two recovering!

    Will go for level one and then see what I can from two and three.

    Thanks to all contributing to this thread - just what I needed!
    I have just gone back to work following maternity leave - having taken a year to get into a routine that let me keep the house reasonable with new twins in the house, it is amazing what taking 2 days out to go to 'the office' has done! But the common sense approach (do what you can, when you can, and don't loose sleep about what you can't) is reassuring :T
    Just to say - I am a bit of a lurker on the forum generally, so might not post much, but thank you for the guidance:D
    Flugellover :D

    I've been slacking. The gardening weather has been good, I was away for a few days and then just busy. Today I spent an hour in the kitchen/utility and felt embarassed at how much I've NOT been doing.

    Tomorrow I have a friend's baby coming to play with me for a little while, so must get the sitting room clean and tidy for him to potter about in and roll around the floor and then spend time each day cleaning y house not licking and promising!

    I hope every one has been well :)

    Ironing done, thanks for the tea PenPen - DH made me a cuppa too. I'm drinking in reverse to you, I had already had wine with dinner and a second would have put the ironing off for another night.

    Triker good luck with those frogs - I may join you.

    DH away most of the week and busy time with boys so need to be organised. I'll do a list on my first post to keep me on track.
