Weekly Flylady Thread 23rd May 2011

hollyh

Afternoon all,

I'm way behind with flying although i did rush and do some of my dailies when the Dyson man phoned and asked if he could come today instead of tomorrow. I now have a working dyson :j ( no excuse now ). I went for a scan this morning and they couldn't find any stones which should be good but probably means they'll need to operate again to sort the scar tissue out. I've got to go back to the Dr's next week so i shall see what he says then.

I miss all the gossip, is this a new OH, or the original one who saw the light?

I have scrubbed the sink and sterilised the draining rack thingy, also cleared the kitchen table hotspot and cleaned the table.

Original one who has seen the light and is trying hard to sort things out properly. Problem is that he wants everyone to be happy and that's not going to happen, at least not immediately. I'm being patient, but he knows it won't last forever. However, he has actually out me first this time and said he can't risk leaving me as the consultant said he wasn't to leave me on my own. Ex and oldest son aren't happy, but everyone needs to learn that the world doesn't revolve around them and they can't always have what they want! However, he's feeling pretty miserable about their reaction. So I have to be nice to him.

Back to reading trash in the garden for a bit. My brain is completely useless!

Glad he saw the light, and hope you get well soon. x

Absolutely anyone!

Welcome to the thread, please read the first two posts so you don't get too confused, and then dive in.

Work was :eek: and so is the house. I have put our sheets in the WM, and cleaned up the cat accident from the kitchen and chanegd the litter tray. I bought a box of celebrations on and the boys are having one for every ten things they put away :roll eyes:

yes I was a bit confused too grateful.
green bee I thought you had given him the heave - and didn't want him near you as you couldn't cope with his indecision?

glad he is working on the problems - and 'No' you dont have to be nice to him - you are nice to him because you want to be and because you care about him regardless? maybe I amjust too old and old fashioned about how I look at relationships.
Good to see you are out in the garden taking it easy - now stop being bored and relax its for your own good and to help your body heal

hex I am loving the boys payment - I hope you get lots of help - if it works then keep it going xx

mymerry widow - nice to have you join us - just do what you can from today onwards and then if you have time you can go back to monday and tuesdays lists

another busyish day here - but there is progress
