Weekly Flylady Thread 18th July 2011

I did manage about 2 hours sleep JoJo. Not amused that my 8am meeting was cancelled while I was asleep... I was hoping it would keep me occupied while I wait for the surgery switchboard to open at 8.30. Get yourself round to the walk in centre and register, just in case. I'm hoping for a telephone consultation as I can't possibly walk there and back. But there will be thhe usual 'is it an emergency thing'.... Well, no it isn't, but it might become one if it isn't dealt with soon!

Anyway, no flying going on here beyond trying to clear up after meals. It's annoying me that most of the house is untidy and grubby, but there's nothing I can do right now.

My list for today.
I'm going to put the WM on now and do some ironing before the school run as I'm going to do my Mum's LR and DR this morning and DD finishes school at 2:00 (I finish at 1:15 so I'll take her with me then), not sure how much will get done then. She is doing her Brownie promise this evening and then going to DSD's so need to get a bag ready for that too.

Have a good day all, catch you laters xx

I didn't cry this time last year- my eyes were just leaking uncontrollably, along with everyone else. Hayfever, you see :whistle:


Didn't get any sleep in the end, so will faff around for a bit more and then get my carcasse down the road. If I stay here I will just fall asleep and start the whole cycle off again tonight.


WM on, splat is about to be hunted down for his morning head clean and tablet :cool: and I have inhaled a whole cup of too strong coffee.

Bad night again, terrible nightmare

We all had trouble getting started this morning so the girls went off late to school
Made the mistake of checking "his" pages this morning which didn't help I just don't seem to be able to stop myself

I have the councellor this afternoon thank goodness, but it is my second to last session as she's paid by work and you're only allowed 6 sessions a year :eek: Luckily the Dr is going to contact my original councellor and see if she'll take me back. She may not though as I saw her with my XH when we were together and he threatened her :eek:

My list is very long today, too long to post so I've printed it off and will start after my coffee.
I loaded the DW while the kettle was boiling and reloaded the WM as the kitten peed on the freshly washed stuff :mad: she is now hiding :cool:
Looks like I'll be using the TD today as it looks terrible outside
