Weekly Flylady Thread 6th February 2012

Mumto5

Good morning ladies,

Another freezing cold day. We were out last night and walked home 200 yards. My face froze - I couldn't smile I was so cold. I didn't intend to get up so early today, DS3 is very noisy when he goes off for his paper round, I will be having words with him later.

The plan for today is to pack for our break in Dorset and tidy the house to my satisfaction. I expect I will crash later as I'm still unwell and can't seem to get through the day without a sleep mid afternoon.

I hope everyone has a good day and I'll be back after half term.

Morning all!
Don't worry Mumof5! perfectly alright to have a nap on a sunday! I might even treat myself to one later before the BAFTA's come on.
Going to try and do as much of the list as I can today, theres still a few bits that haven't been done yet (aka the bedroom.....room of doom!).
Going to try and list as much stuff as I can today on eBags. FREE LISTING WEEKEND THIS WEEKEND!! Everyone make the most of it!
Hugs and spoons (and wooly hats!) to those that need them. xxxx

It's definitely thawing! Hooray!

Got to do a brief trip into York today - and I actually feel like it for once! I must finally be shaking off this bug...

Mornin all - we've been very lucky here so far - no snow, frost or bugs - fingers crossed it lasts. Hugs to all.
Didn't do much flying these last few days - and now have visitors coming for lunch to-day. Probably a good thing as it will shake me up and keep in on my toes. House not too bad - a quick HH should do it. Thank goodness it is in as tidy a state as it is - thanks to these lists. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this thread has literally changed my life, I'm so much more confident and more relaxed knowing the house is in some sort of tidiness. I lived for years with an untidy house and I cringed with shame when people called and suffered anxiety about how to tackle the huge problem of how to get it tidied. HH now and then I will enjoy the rest of the day. Have a good Sunday everyone.:)

good thought provoking post beanrua

instead of looking at the mess and despairing I shall just finish my breakfast (mushrooms and tomatoes greenbee!) and then crack on. Anyone else for a 9.30 HHC?

What a grand morning .. My hips are really bad.. to the point I almost fell over when I got out of bed.. my left ear is agony again and making me feel quite sick... and a finger is sore and swollen for some unknown reason... I am a joy to be around as I haven't yet drugged myself.

Off to add sugar to my cuppa, drugs to my body parts and dress the mini-minx.

Dot was bathed at 6:30 last night.. went to sleep after a feed about 7.. woke at 6am for a feed and is back in bed.. I think she may also be unwell

Medicine bag washed out after a bottle of calprofen smashed .. super-stickified!!!!!!!

Morning all

Glad so many newbies are finding the thread useful. I've just changed DS3's bed as he had a nose bleed in the night, his bed was the one not yet changed this week so handy. DH has cleared up the dismantled blackbird from the kitchen.

Plan for today is mainly pottering and finishing off some bits, oh and my weekly iron with ski sunday/dancing on ice later.

Going to see how you clean a rug in snow before the snow goes.
