I have just recently started using the Flylady thread and was wondering if there was a list for the weekend or is it only for week days

We usually have the weekends where we spend time with our families instead of cleaning so the workload is usually spread over monday-friday. I guess if you wanted weekend work you 'could' do Monday on a Saturday for example and just work it all as and when you can fit it in!??

:hello:,
Have had a really busy day today flying but not as you know. flying here thier and everywhere . Only done daily's and Nightly today. so tomorrow will be catch up for me ( got to keep on top of things before i slip !!)
Sort of dreading next week as each day is going to be something like this:
8.30 am school run
11.20 District nurse run
12 ish - run oh to work 30 min round trip
3.15 - school run
await phone call from oh to collect him from work anytime from 7pm onwards

and that is without anything else that crops up ie: shops/dentist (monday at 9.55am)/Doctors on wednesday at 11am. OMG i can't wait to be back to Normal.
Anyway hope you ALL have a good weekend and :grouphug: to those that need one.
