Weekly Flylady Thread 24th October 2011

missymoo81

ooh pigpen, I'm not suprised you need to give up the thread, you do so well, doing everything and then more, I'm sorring your hips are still hurting.

I can't offer to help with the thread im afraid, as am not a constant poster and with baby on the way i think i would struggle, but at the same time I'd hate to see it go, have just started to get my life in order! Well done to those who have offered to run it.

I'm in again this week, but not sure how much i will get done as I have an assignment due on thursday which I haven't even started!!!!

Morning all

Been a busy bee DH dropped at station (off to US for 2 weeks), DS1 braces off, GP phoned, form collected and by chance surgery had a spot for blood taking so got it done there to save a trip to the hospital path lab.

Washing on the line.

Time for a cuppa, anybody like one? Then at 10:00 HHC to get this flying started

seafarers_wife

Pigpen Im willing to take over as well on the jobshare basis, im around constantly apart from when DH is home so without flylady im stuck when he is away.

Thank you so much for all the hard work that you have put into the thread and who cares if you've not done housework for a while, you've been cooking babies and dealing with multiple health issues of your own and the kids so housework takes a back seat to all of that!

Will update later...........xx

HI Everyone :wave:

Piggers - I will miss your witty posts and flying mules but would like to think you will pop in on us from time to time, you have done such an amazing job with the thread in all the time I have been there so thank you for that. :T:A:T:A I cannot always get online on a daily basis so I cannot help with the thread but I see there are a few flyladies willing to take over. I hope you start to feel better soon, I always admired you for running the thread when you had so much going on at home.

Hope you are all well ladies and I look forward to continuing with my flying, I think if the thread stopped we would all slowly lose motivation for housework, nothing like an HHC to get the adrenalin going is there and it still amazes me what you can do in that HHC running about like a maddie!!!

Morning All

You've got way too much on piggers and should have given it up ages ago. How about if me, kaz and dusty do it for now and then if some of the newer posters want to join in later they can do?

Hugs

Jue

That sounds like the best idea I think.. it is wonderful so many of you are up for taking it on.. Can I leave it with you 3 to coordinate for a week on Sunday??? I shall ship over the mules and spyders!

There is a message on the FB group re christmas cards as well I dont think anyone has noticed...

I will still be about and doing what I can but I have given up so many things in the last 6 months that became too much and this is just the next thing in a long list if I am this useless now what will I be like at 40?!?! I dread to think!
