Weekly Flylady Thread 15th August 2011

ajmoney

We gave up after dinner, I am packing the kitchen tomorrow while OH is at work. My mum is coming up to help us on Friday, I am a bit worried that it will be too much for her but she wants to come. She will love the house, can keep OH company while I am at work and be the tea lady.

I will pop in for lots of support tomorrow.

I'm in this week. Thank you to FCC for the thread and to everyone for the mutual support.

I didn't get anything else done after tea. My fault for picking up my new to me Isabel Allende book.

Holly and aj - hope the packing continues to go smoothly.

Vanilla - sending you hugs, coping vibes and sticks for the BD.

greenbee - you sound a bit brighter. Hope you have a better week.

I'll see how I feel tomorrow. If I feel energetic I'll clean the bathroom. If not, there's plenty of decluttering to do in the LR.

Night all. x

so glad it worked. PM me if you need any more ideas... I'm sure I can dredge them up from my memory. I'm currently sleeping with a hot water bottle for my current problems and I know when I had back problems I often slept with one (or even two) even in the middle of summer

thanks I actually have to WORK today... One training session and a couple of calls, rather than just doing paperwork when I feel like it :cool: still, hopefully the bathroom will be finished and I can then get the house clean and tidy over the next few days so it doesn't feel quite as much like I've just moved in...

Suppose I should get up soon, as I have no idea when all the workmen will arrive and need to feed and water my dad as soon as he has done the first coat of paint, plus find the details of the hoggin and gravel I bought last year so I can make sure they use the same stuff to fix the mess they made of the patio.

Morning fellow flyladies

I'm in.
Thanks to FCC for the lists.

Hugs and coping vibes to Vanilla and to anyone else who needs them.
aj and holly hope all the packing and moving goes smoothly, enjoy your new homes. When we moved last year we got the removal company to pack everything, 1 man did it all the day before moving, nothing got broken or lost, I think it cost approx an extra £50 for them to do it and was worth every penny not to have the stress of packing.
