<crawls in on all fours> oh I'm so tired I'm still not caught up with the weekend...

Paid stuff finished for week and got a few groceries on way home, so we are stocked for weekend and have a few days to ourselves.

Had a clean round bathroom whilst tots were in bath, and we just had snack tea, so not a lot to wash up.

Will be able to catch up more tomorrow. My brain is not quite functioning tonight.

Hugs to all, and welcome back to returning flyladies!

just moved house so getting back into flying to help me keep on top of things. Any mega tips appreciated

Back from school meeting about DD's trip to Brussels in a couple of weeks ....tomorrow will be spent running around doing what I can as well as getting a hold all for my weekend away. What I can't get done tomorrow will have to be done on Monday.
The good thing is, because I know I'm going to have a busy day, I will get on with some things before the school run (That's the theory anyway!!!)

I forgot/didn't have time to do any flyladying today. Although I did put the washing on, and get it out, and tumble dried yesterdays washing.

Evening newbies and returners, good to have you on board.

Do remember baby steps, it is tempting to want to do everything at once but you can't maintain that. Celebrate what you achieve and forget what you don't.

I've done very little today, cleaned the toilets, that is it. Lots of forgetting for me then.

Back from cricket nets, managed to get a fair amount of Governor stuff filed and organised whilst there and now have a huge action list.

For now though I need to bake a cake for DS1's birthday tomorrow.

You are not lazy!! Don't you dare even think it. You recently lost your little boy and you are expecting a baby in June! That isn't lazy.. that makes you one strong lady! I'd be hiding in a cupboard in your shoes!!

But you are still very welcome here however much cleaning you do!

(((hugs)))

misstamsilakanwal seconded what Piggers has said.. You are one very strong lady, but please don't be too strong take time out for yourself

Aww, Natty; you poor lamb. What a horrible day! A cup of tea always helps though.:o Re the showering and getting dressed - I have an idea for you. As you know, I need assistance with bathing and dressing, so Mr LW makes me shift my sorry carcass to the bathroom, and then stuffs me into some clothes afterwards, before he leaves for work. Now, I'd feel better about all this (I often would prefer not to bother) if I knew you were going to get showered and dressed, too. How about it? Deal?:o
Today I have on my recently-washed (it was covered in Mary-fur:D) grey-with-purple-flecks velvety skirt, and a purple velvety top.:o

LW you are truly a star - you have a deal. Especially after me not getting up until gone midday today, although I will say I did get dressed before 1pm But in my defence I was wide awake at 3am with horrific grape pains..grrr!!! And snoozed on the sofa.. And have done two loads of washing, one load even got to go outside for a quick blow about.

My new dosage is making me so dozy at the moment, I was fast asleep by 11.30pm last night. I even fell asleep while playing mahjong on my nexus.. Definately better than previous nights of going to sleep at 2am The plan is that if I am dozing off so early then I will be able to get up at a reasonable time

Right, quick q? looking at the fly lady tools and theres a wee rubber brush thats used for scrubbing, says its good for pet hair. I need one as I have a mutt. Don't fancy ordering the stuff from FL, (have made my own control journal from printables I found online ) where's best to look for one at reasonable pennies?
