Weekly Flylady Thread 7th January 2013

skint_breeder_5

Oh dear, managed to fall asleep with DS and didn't wake up til 7 and was completely out of spoons and a starving brood (2 naps in one day :eek: I can tell the end is nigh!)- found a voucher for my local T0by 2 for £10 - so dinner out tonight for me DD3 and DS - with water I object to paying more for soft drinks than I do for the dinner

Had to roll the car seat back several notches tonight as I can barely fit under the steering wheel now, and I have the backache from H£ll, so definitely no flying by night at stupid o'clock and only getting pottering while the kettle boils tomorrow I think - just in case:eek:

nighty night flyladies and flygents - see you in the morning :wave:

Honey_Bear

Skint, I have to say, I have visions of you in all your wonderousness, taking your existing brood out to dinner with your soon to exist Almost Skint, and I find even the picture exhausting! Have a great night's sleep and a big enough (((hug))) to encapsulate all of you on the journey that's unfolding in and around you. xx

Natty68

Sorry for the late posting of tomorrow's list. It is there now

Bossy I shall also be thinking of you tomorrow hon.

Good Evening all, Hugs and spoons to all those that need or want them.

Good Intentions- I hope that things work themselves out for you soon.

Bossymoo- My thoughts are with you and your family tomorrow.

Ella- Hope you have a lovely time with your mum it sound like you have both been through a lot recently and I wish you brighter days to come.

Another busy day in work today and had supervision at which point manager started questioning whether I should continue with my uni course as I am behind (it is funded by my employer) and she thought I would not be able to catch up :mad: I ma be behind as I am balancing my uni course with work and m health needs but both my course co-ordinator and training advisor are very supportive . All the manager has managed to do is stress me out, which in turn as had an adverse effect on my ME symptoms

Oh well tomorrows another day and when I got home from work DS gave me a big hug to make me feel better.

Tomorrows going to be a long day as I have a dentist appointment in the morning and as OH is not here to take me it will be three buses across the city and then I an working late tomorrow night.

Since coming in from work I have prepared dinner, turned DW on, washed pans etc S&S the kitchen, hall and living room as well as completed the list. I need to take the towels I put in the WM out to the dryer. Though that will have to wait til its light outside as I have a phobia of rats and one was recently spotted in our back garden :eek:
