Weekly Flylady Thread 29th August 2011

greenbee

Mattress and bedroom hoovered/dewebbed before the bathroom people arrived. They are now here making mess as they are raking out all the dead grout and replacing it. So I will have to clean the bathroom and landing after they have gone cleaning cloths on line and mattress cover in WM.

Have to do some paid work alongside keeoing going with sorting things out!

OH boy, I am late today, sorry miss!
HAd a nasty nightmare woke up sobbing, dreamt DP left me because no 2nd child, luckily he was still asleep through it all, sorry OB I know you are going through this for real and that makes me look like a real lightweight, I am encouraged by your resolve and strength, sooo the upshot is no sleep, no energy today so far. Not done a single thing except make coffee with sugar. Sitting her admiring my most precious thing in the world DD and trying not to cry and feel sorry for myself.

DD playing on the living room rug with Pepper Pig toys - something I thought she had grown out of but when I tried to re-organise old toys she insited she still wanted them.
Have made arrangements to see sister and mum later today, but cant discuss becasue they dont even know we are trying - mum scolded me when I had first miscarraige saying that it was a BAD idea becuase of my health and the fact that Icouldnt walk for 1 year after with severe SPD. Long story.

So ladies need a distraction will try 15m getting dressed shower etc will report back later
Thanks to you all, your threads really cheer me up and make me feel motivated. x

Julie .. feel free.. I have had no laundry other than the odd bit since before the weekend.. starting to build up now though so I might have enough to scrape a load together..

GnB.. you bringing your dishes too? lol.. and in reply to your other Fred.. BOSCH BOSCH BOSCH BOSCH!!! Mine has been fabulous..

Triker.. that is a bugler about the Argos price.. ggrrr..... Id be most peed off with that.

MrsC.. DS1 never even got a NI card sent... then the cheeky gits wanted to charge us for a replacement.. I argued it with them.. how is it a replacement when we have never had one? Stupid people. Does anyone ever actually NEED the card anyway? Mine has never been out of the envelope.. I know my NI number and just write it on the various communicaion that requested it.

I foresee me doing very little today... again... fat useless dollop of turd that I have become.. I have to get the bedroom sorted so I can clear the landing.. and I am moving maybe a carriers worth of stuff a day..at this rate it will take me 25 years to clear just the floor in front of the window!!

I had a grump about OH not helping me yesterday while DS1 was here.. and he STILL hasnt suggested helping.. it isnt like I ask for anything much!

Right... list dredging..

Kettle on
Squeak fed.. and dressed.. ooh.. her sleepsuit is upstairs.. best deal with that mess..

HHWeeding done, i was out the front until 3 cars of JW's turned up so i went round the back. Ds1 came and said there's someone at the door so i told him who they were and to ignore it, then Ds2 went to the door and was shouting "Mum, Mum there's someone at the door". :cool: So i just shouted no thanks through the door, i couldn't be bothered unlocking it and they went.

HHCoffee now before jumping in the shower and getting ready for holiday club.

Think it may be a little far to bring my dishes Piggers!

Have just handwashed my dishes, grrrrrr.

Will S&S kitchen in a minute.

Have been kind of holding off doing much cleaning this week as hubby is meant to be finishing the floor and that creates a lot of dust and dont want to have to clean twice. However he's been faffing about and not done it yet! Need to give hima kick i think. Will get some washing on and maybe do some ironing.

[FONT=&quot]Morning everyone, can I just say thank you to all those on FB. Unfortunately I had a bit of a meltdown yesterday and took a couple of things personally hence my post on there. Also been having a hard time coming to terms with something [/FONT][FONT=&quot]–[/FONT][FONT=&quot] suffice to say it has left both DH and myself reeling with shock. Unfortunately I couldn’t put anything on FB as DH’s relatives have FB and we didn’t want them to know anything was wrong.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Anyway I have decided that I cannot wallow in pity as what is meant to be is meant to be [/FONT][FONT=&quot]–[/FONT][FONT=&quot] ugh that’s a bit deep and gobbly gook for me..lol Plus my “flying” has slackened off and my spending has got mad!! So this is a new start for me [/FONT][FONT=&quot]–[/FONT][FONT=&quot] yep those that know me on here know it’s probably my 7th, or gods knows how many, new starts.. But I owe it to my DH and myself to get my act together, even though various things limit me [/FONT][FONT=&quot]–[/FONT][FONT=&quot] eg ME and the blooming mental health problems. But they are not going to rule my life now, although I will not beat myself up if I feel like resting after housework [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Ooops sorry this has turned into a baring my soul post..lol. Gods I didn’t mean for that to happen, and to those that have got this far [/FONT][FONT=&quot]–[/FONT][FONT=&quot] well done!!! And I do apologise for it not being too much of a flying post..[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Hugs and love to everyone, especially LW, Toots, LL, Vanilla, fibromum [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]LW don’t worry about the psychiatric assessment, all they will do is just chat to you and ask you questions. But beware they do have a nasty habit of getting things out of you that you thought you would keep to yourself. I am forever having these assessments as part of my ongoing treatment I think I could do them with my eyes closed now..lol. *Hugs*[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Vanilla sweetie, did you get my PM’s from a couple of weeks ago? As I am starting to think they didn’t get through to you, or it’s me being my usual paranoid self..lol[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Anyway without further ado, onto flying [/FONT]

Natty and Fibromum - sending you gentle (((hugs))). Hope things look up for you soon. I admire the way you pick yourself up again.

Re National Insurance card - DS1 took it to a college he originally wanted to go to (but then didn't) and left it there. A year later, he still hasn't collected it and I don't think he's kept a record of the number (or knows where the letter is it came with). Now that he's looking for work (in the losest sense of the word), he'll need it. Silly boy.
