There are hopefully tiny babysteps of more alertness. It is still such a long road for him to travel back to his family but they are holding as strong as they can and are amazing.cherie1122 wrote: »I had an operation on my foot and have not been very mobile for three months. My husband has been doing his best with the housework but now I'm back on my feet I don't know where to start. Walking is still painful so I can't do much at a time but I'm giving it a go.
Yesterday, I cleared all the kitchen surfaces and washed them over - it looks so much better out there.
Today, I cleaned all the mirrors and internal glass doors - also washed the curtain on the big lounge window and cleaned it inside and out. It all looks so different.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow's list :T
Thanks for the inspiration
You are doing great but please do not over do it!

just done 2 x HHP and managed to clear some space in rod, not that it looks like it. paperwork is all over the bed! but its in some sort of order. ive got it in concertina files so that ive filed it roughly into them and then i will file it properly into correct folders and it can then get put into current box or archive box to go into loft depending what it is.
am going to take all the car stuff down stairs with me and sort that properly so thats one thing filed properly. im only taking that down as it wont cause to much mess!

Happy birthday Lady Liberty we've not been introduced but can feel the love for you on here so you are obviously one very special lady
Are you a flylady founder?
Hello, no I don't rank as highly as the flylady founder or the lovely ladies who have done or now do the lists
I used to "fly" until illness struck, now I'm just an honorary member of the thread
I have received so much love & support from all my "flylady" friends on here over the last couple of years I could never have got through everything without them they are a truly spectacular bunch :A
Now I lurk when I am well enough but don't post very often because I don't have anything useful to add to the thread :rotfl:

Now stop being so silly - you are one very inspirational lady and as necessary as any of our list makers. Posting, however infrequently, makes our day,
with much love,
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
