Weekly Flylady Thread 6th June 2011
Comments

have been collared by school to help on a trip so very little flying here - will be in a field pretending to be a Roman with Yr 3/4!
Wish me luck - I'm gonna need it!:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -
Morning all,
Despite the week from hell, I have been keeping up with level one at least - although I did the bathroom yesterday and will do our room today. It is starting to look better. I also cleaned the shower drain overnight - about every 6 months the water starts to get very slow and I have to stick one of the bottles down there - which always does the trick.
This afternoon will give the kids a bag and tell them to remove 10 items from their rooms for rubbish or charity - if I do that every day for the next 6 months we might start to see a difference:rotfl:
Off to work in a minute - hope everyone has a good day“the princess jumped from the tower & she learned that she could fly all along. she never needed those wings.”

and the person who told you that is a confidante of the poilce and 'knows' what's going on does she? I think not.
Get a notebook, write it down (who was there, who said what) and just put it in a safe place until/if you need more evidence.
The person who harangued you is being hassled and is lashing out. Hold your head up!
Jobs
lounge (gerbil cage first)
bathroom
kitchen
post e bay sales
that'll do for starters...
washing is already on the line
it's almost 10:30 - I'm going in...Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016
