I am sooooo bored!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scoffed a whole dairy milk and a bag of maltesers so baby is hoppety Technically it isn't.. it is flappety as it is arms that are flapping not legs!

I'm off to bed .. I am tired and grumpy and not fit to grace the planet at the moment.. I will feel better tomorrow... I WILL.

Hello all, I'm new to the forum and have heard a lot about Flylady(ing) lol... i would like to start! I've got plenty of hotspots in my house! Lol

I'm going to start in the next week challenge! First things first though.. can someone please tell me what a froggy/frog list is? I'm kind of assuming its a list of things that need to be done but never get done? I've seen some with 100 things and some with 10 things on them, how long are they meant to be?

Sorry if i seem daft lol!! I look forward to a fun week next week!!
Thanks

Good morning ladies! I have been a busy bunny this week (some holiday lol) what with DD1 performing in the school musical on wednesday and thursday nights and friday morning, so no real flying got done then but I think all things considered (including dodgy back and leg) I have gotten quite a lot done so far this week. Just spent nearly 2 hours listing on E**y ... 37 items on the 99p free listings so fingers crossed they all sell and for more than 99p! Thankfully I have 100% feedback at the mo and am aiming to keep it that way by being completely honest with the listings.

Sorry about the length of that last post ladies ... felt so chuffed with myself for being able to do all that, and put all the bins out when some days I can hardly walk to the car to go to work ... made me feel really good!
