Weekly Flylady Thread 5th September 2011

Biscuit_monster

Hello all,

I've not been flying for a few days (due to visiting mum and dad, then a family day out, then a cold, and add to this a 1 year old with what must be a gigantic octo-tooth coming through so no sleep) and not caught up with thread, so hope you are all well. Weather turned, leaves falling :mad: Love having trees in my garden in winter, spring and summer. Autumn I feel like hacking at them with the nearest sharp object. Anyway house and garden a mess and I haven't felt like doing much, but the existence of the lists is making me do at least a bit! So thanks everyone for your help. Anyway, I'm having a small beer and a gingerbread man (or 5) - Diet is off as I have purchased a cross trainer off ebay which is going mean the end of all diets!! Hooray:T In six moths time it will probs be back on ebay and I will be the same weight!

Anyway, deleted what I've done… xx

Afraid I failed in the "flying" today I can't believe it's Wednesday tomorrow - where the hell has the beginning of the week gone.. And I booked my next appt with my care co-ordinator and it's in the first week of October...yikes October!! The year is going so fast, can someone stop the train and let me get off please. I want the year to go very slowly

I did declutter two loads of washing, several cups of tea, changed the throws on the suite oh and cleaned the kitchen this morning. As well as finished all the ironing that was in the box

DH came home yesterday and kindly informed me I have some strange named phobia - athophobia, a fear of dust. Although I'm not bothered too much by dust that you get on everyday things it's the dust that accumulates behind things and clumps together. That definately gives me the heebie jeebies.

Hugs, love and spoons to everyone xxxx

Evening all

I'm doing much worse, goodintentions! I have the best of intentions when I'm still on holiday, but just about manage the dailies as soon as I'm back at work.

Watching 'new reclaimers' while doing some research for work on the web before looking at my list.

I've not heard from DS1 since saying good-bye to him yesterday. Really cross with him because of it, as I'd only asked for two texts - one on arrival in Dublin and one once he's on the coach back to the ferry on Thursday.

Jojo.. what size does she require? Im venturin out tomorow to sort last minute stuff.. I can keep a beady out if you want?

Ooooh, ta for offering, Piggers- she's got adult size 8, which I think roughly translates to about age 14, but I am losing track now. I think as there seems to be some confusion about whether there was one style of trouser that could be worn available from the outfitter's only (at £27), I'm going to stick with the £5 Primark jobbies until the school either go loopy at her or the fuss dies down.



Considering that she is turning up on crutches now decorated with black roses and ribbons,
her semi dark red hair colourant hasn't quite faded,
neither has her mendhi on her hand,
she can't carry half the stuff they expect them to have in school,
will be wearing her gothy fleece as the coat won't allow her to fit her arms in the crutch grips

can't wear the trousers the outfitter would have sold if they had ones that fitted her in stock, as her waist measurement is wonky due to the scoliosis - she's slimmer on one side than the other,

and has already decided that if any staff member complains about the roses and ribbons, she will asking them to provide a written copy of the school's uniform policy on disability aids,
won't be doing PE,
and will be late in the following day for the first in a long list of hospital appointments,


I think I'll leave it there with uniform for the time being!



What's that sound? It's my bed whispering my name..........


'Night all!

Okay both kids are up, dressed, breakfasted and lunches done. We've just got to walk the dog before we leave in about an hour - having said that DD is doing her hair so that could take the next hour!

Sky's looking pretty grey again so it looks like I'll be using my TD rather than the line.

I'll catch up with you all for a few HHCs after the school run.
