    Not bad for my first proper week back on the flylady-wagon. DH will be home soon and I still have a couple of bits to do before we go away so I will leave it for this week and start again in earnest next week. As well as the list (which needs to be done due to my parents visiting) I am also aiming to put one thing away from the move each day. Some of the things in the room we are storing it all in are easy and I am hoping that as everything lessens it will make it easier to get it all done.

  • Well, so much for having a busy day!

    I had taken Little Miss Sunshine to play group, and was at the toddler group (in the same building) when I suddenly felt really rough :( I was very sick (in the toilets, luckily!) :o:eek: So I made some calls, to arrange for children to be picked up & went home to bed. I slept for about 2 hours. I am up now, and had some tea & toast. so we shall see how it goes.

    I am up now, and a bit frustrated. I could have done so much with the time I have sat around doing nothing :o I got mince out of the freezer for spag bol for 7 people, & now don't fancy cooking it (there are only 3 of us now). If only I had forgotten to take it out, like I usually do! :p So much for being organised!

    Ok. I am waiting for DS to get home, then hopefully he will take the dog out with DD2, as I really don't have the energy. then, I think i will do something useful that I can do sitting down - paperwork, or studying.
