Weekly Flylady Thread 10th June 2013

**Vanilla**

I've got the kitchen floor brushed, worktops cleared and cleaned, more filing done, appointments all up to date, wm and dw on.

DD seen physio today and the physio says that she will defo need surgery on her left foot, just at the arch to straighten her foot out. Plus if we can't get the left ankle at a 90 degree level or more they may want to do surgery there too. Anyway it's really up to consultant so we'll see, probably won't see her until sep/oct and then if there is surgery to be done that will be march/april next year.

Someone due out tomorrow to see if DD needs any equipment (hearing) so I've brushed the livingroom floor but i'll give it a good clean tomorrow morning.

Hope all inspections have went well, that poorlies feel better soon and injuries are better soon.

I've read through the thread, but everything has gone blank so wishing all the poorly, inspected and just plain cream-crackered peeps an easy ride over the coming days.

I've been working a lot and flying when I can get chance but not following any particular order. Natty - take it easy hun and don't worry about the lists - your health is far more important and it sounds like you've had quite a knock. Please get it checked out this evening if things don't improve. I'm sure your OH would rather you were better. {{{HUGS}}}

Done more than I thought, so quite happy with that. Working for 2 hours in the morning, but afternoon client has cancelled. Off work on Friday in readiness for the challenge on Saturday, so flying will be upped. I've NEVER actually managed a clean sheet on the flying lists - might set myself a little challenge to see how close I can get.

Nicki. how old is DD? Mine is a nightmare in the morning, I ask her at 8:15 if she's ready and she says yes, then at 8:35 I'm calling her to come down and she complains that she hasn't done her hair or got her socks on!!! Think I'll have redo a timetable she had when she was younger!!!

She's 12 and in her first year of seniors. She's great at getting up now she's using an alarm on her mobile, but she gets distracted watching the birds out her bedroom window or "tidying" in the kitchen. She has to leave the house by 8am at the latest to catch the bus to school otherwise she won't make it by 8.40. Lately she's been leaving at 7.40 as the buses can be a bit hit and miss heading away from town at that time in the morning. This morning she didn't get in there until 8.30!

I've spent the afternoon working on my laptop. Trying to get it running a bit better. I think I've fixed the recurring error, but we'll have to wait and see. I have cleared out my history on my browser (all 100,000+ entries which I had to sort through as there were websites I wanted to reference for something but I hadn't bookmarked them ), and I just need to sort through my bookmarks now and that'll be the browser overhaul this month. Next month I'll start tackling the photos again :eek:

Whats up Bossy?? I think that most nights but only my own fault!!

Nicki, Maybe that means DD could get better, she's 10 at the mo, I know she'll be up early on Friday as they are away for the weekend!! She will prob be ready by 7:30!

Oh and Pigpen, those eyes!! Stunning!!!

pigpen

DD1's new project... I have to have at least 1 with a creative bone somewhere in their body don't I?

35 of the 80 squares needed for my blanket... I need another 4 balls of wool so the 6 the pattern claims I need is WAY off!!!

My feet are so swollen they are numb and yet they still manage to hurt.. how is this??? I am a bit concerned about my legs which keep going numb.. my left one is definitely worse than the right but it is a very odd sensation!.

OH back in one piece anyway so I'm off to bed
