Flylady Thread for Monday 5th March 2007

Good morning flyladies

This is my very, very first post though I've been reading for a couple of weeks now. Finally brave enough to stick my hand up and say "I'm in" with the other newbies this week.

Have a 4 month old baby so I'm SAHM at the mo but need to get on top of the housework with. Find these lists really, really helpful so I'm going to get stuck in.

So hello to everyone - Happy flying!

Good morning everyone!

Anothew newbie here.. I'm Caz and I have two sons who are 14 (going on 21!!) and 10 (going on 15!!) and not a very good start to the week as I was out all day yesterday and only did the basics.

Still it means I'm fully motivated for today and am determined to get the whole list done. Ideally I would like it all done before the Liverpool v Barcelona match so I can go to the pub for a cheeky glass of wine and watch that!! But time will tell...

One of my most fave things about these threads is that when I'm scrubbing those windows or cleaning inside the fridge I know that someone somewhere is doing the exact same thing and it's almost comforting and more motivation..... haha does that make me sad!

Well, enough posting on here or I'll never get anything done!

see you all later!

Morning all xxx

I had to send DH with the children this morning as my dodgy tummy is back with a venegence, I have been on the loo since 6:30am. He is under strict instruction not to come back without drugs.. I can't fly like this!!! oh.. I can't watch DD either.. I have already told my mother I am not going to colege, I doubt I wouod even get there at the moment. SO I am staying in my pj's for a bit and then will do some flying.

I'll think about my list while I drink my cuppa!

But pigpen, my house is a coup and I only have one baby!! There's no excuse really.....

Except that I come from a family of messy hoarders. I may be beyond help. But i need to try

It's a beautiful day today. I'm still feeling a bit shattered from sharing a room with the baby while we were away, but that is nothing new.

The WM has just finished with a load of my jumpers. Meat is out defrosting for tea. Cats have been fed, and litter box done, now they are out playing like little kittens in the sun.

I need to add to my list to go to the shop and buy some fruit/veggies and things for DH's pack up as he was whinging at me this morning. I'm sure i am not the only one who knows where the shop is. I could also do with making up some more baby purees. Don't know if that will get done today, but is certainly needed soon as the packet mush that you add water do is really grim, and a real last resort for when we are out.

Enjoy the beautiful day everyone. Pigpen hope your tummy is better real soon.

Michelle, x

I have also got to stay in and wait for a parcel to be delivered for him for work. Don't know why it couldn't have just been delivered there.
