Weekly Flylady Thread 8th October 2012

Hugs to cyclingyorkies DD ((()))

I've got my haemoglobin levels back up to 12.1 :j but I'm still coming home from work exhausted as the powers that be have started the second wave of 'restructuring'....the first wave resulted in me visiting the job centre for seven months ...and I'm surrounded by stressed out people who are having to apply to keep their jobs for the second time in 18 months. I'm an agency worker so I am expecting a return to the land of the unemployed some time this winter , I'm trying to look on the bright side -they did only take me on for 6 weeks, and I've been there 10 months and the job has morphed into a monster BUT financially I'll be screwed.

So MSE is more important than ever!!!

How sad am I? I've actually done some flying so that I could creep out of lurkdom-ville with less . I was planning on getting up at 8 and cracking on with several QHCs before F1 qualifying begins at 1pm ( being a petrolhead ); instead I crawled out of bed at 9.30 and I've caught up with the fred
However I have:
1 x WM - Mount Washmore has been demolished 1 load at a time and no longer exists, however DS is coming home from Uni next weekend so I'm expecting :eek:
gathered all clean dry laundry and put in a pile to go upstairs
put rubbish out
put cardboard out for recycling
gathered up random carrier bags - I'm sure they breed??
moved a carrier bag of gibble so that I could sit at the kitchen table - laptop needed charging and DS has taken multi plug thingy to Uni so I have to be near a socket - to find said bag was stuck to the floor :eek: (a) don't you just hate disolvable carrier bags - they just weren't designed for use by hoarders and (b) who would know that boiled sweets of unknown age would do that :rotfl: :cool:
So floor has been de-stickyed and tin of sweets is heading for the bin.

I am now suspiciously eyeing the 'crystal growing kit' of unknown age and thinking I might declutter that today too - before it explodes or anything :cool:

Right before my next post I'm going to
empty WM and reload
Bin molten sweets and crystal growing kit
rinse and recycle 10 cans

See you later

I've emptied WM, put washing on radiators and airer, and reloaded WM
thrown out tin of molten sweets, disolving carrier bag, plus two lidless lunchboxes
thrown out crystal growing kit - recycling the cardboard
and... rinsed and recycled 40 cola cans :cool:

Bet the binmen know when I'm on the flylady wagon hehe their workload increases exponentially :rotfl:

Now I'm going to have a coffee and sort this week's mail into keep/bin/shred until F1 qualifying begins :T

Then I'm coming back to do some more :A

PS I think I might have a problem - throwing stuff out makes me feel quite sick....but I like the space it leaves, and recycling makes me feel slightly better.
