  • afternoon all
    I have been a really bad flylady this week I just CBA I need a good kick up the @r5e !!!!
    I just can't seem to get motivated and I have only worked 2 days this week as well. DD is 13 today (what did I miss the last 13 years somewhere) and she has a party on saturday eve so I have got to do shopping and cooking for that.

    So flying wise so far this week I have managed to clear kitchen worktops and wipe and I have hoovered downstairs but I am ashamed to say that's it. Haven't even read this thread - just too many pages so hugs to those that need it - think I will hug myself ..... that feels a bit better Oh well got 45 mins till school run time so I am going to get of my a*** and do some cleared and dusting.
    Thanks to MSE savings we got to go to Disneyworld Florida.
