Weekly Flylady Thread 16th June 2013

trulymadlydeeply_indebt!

Hi ladies :wave:

I'm back. Completed the Three Peaks Challenge in 11 hours 40 mins on Saturday so well chuffed with ourselves. We left home at 5am and arrived in Yorkshire just after 7, did the challenge and arrived back in Cumbria at 10pm - it was such a great day, but very tiring. I've done 2 x 5hr stints at work since and am completely shattered. My body does not know what has hit it - OUCH!

Not doing anything flywise tonight as I just don't have an ounce of energy left, but I will have an early night (hopefully) and be back with you all in the morning.

I've read over the thread and there are a lot of people needing support amongst us - {{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}} - I think that is enough to cover everyone so please help yourselves.

Done a bit of cleaning in every room today as someone wants to come view the house tomorrow. It was the kick up the bum I needed though as it got neglected last week while I wrote an assignment

Goodintentions

I managed 20 minutes on the wii fit before the school run, and cleared my hotspot after the school run, inbetween drawing Pok!mon figures for S

Apart from that, I have crushed a lot of candy

DD1 made dinner :T a nice healthy pasta dish

I am working tomorrow 8-12.30, then 4-5.30 so hopefully I will get a chance to do some flying in between. The DD's are heading into town armed with CV's. DD2 has finished her A levels, but is still going to school most days because she doesn't want to leave!!

Oh, and DS passed his clarinet grade 3, so he is very happy They have already started saying about grade 4, but he doesn't want to do anymore. I told him he doesn't have to do them, despite what his music teachers (GCSE) say!!

Evening flyfriends

I seem to have ended up going 'off list' as DS turned up unexpected straight from Download. He hadn't washed since Friday and had only changed his T-shirt and socks _pale_ After two baths he was almost presentable. Apparently breakfast for the last three days was cheerios and lager :cool: He is now back in his uni room for another couple of weeks. We are negotiating rent for July & August when he is back here...

So I have done washing, drying, folding, cooking, tidying, wiping, paperwork, recycling and CV writing for DD.

I am all ready to work but need paying customers. Or at least someone to email or phone me - non work-related is fine - so I don't feel too unloved. Please

Time for Long Lost Families. Where's my hankie...

Sorry for my total ignorance...

How does this work? I thought I picked whatever level I could do - so today I picked 30mins. But I see some of you are working your way through the whole list. Should I do the 15min jobs first...?

Sorry - I'm a bit of a rookie!

3 x WM, 1 TD, 1 Pegged out, HHweeding drive with 2 carrier bags of weeds de-cluttered DW x 2,

waiting to hear from my cousin re her BRACA investigation appointment today , but may have to give her more bad news to be taken into consideration.

All the young Skints and myself have decluttered the Dentist today. Should have been quite straightforward, but naughty DD2 smokes rollies (and sometimes without filters :mad::mad::mad:) despite all my warnings esp one of my other cousins got struck with his first bout of big C at 19 through smoking, and still carried on and passed at just 25 from smoking related big C.

Dentist has told DD2 to cut down immediately and quit imminently as she has white patches all over her mouth and abnormal cell thickening on her tongue which she will continue to monitor herself on next checkup but wants her to go to GP as she is concerned we are looking at pre-cancer of the mouth & tongue - so angry with DD2 that she never listened to me about the smoking, especially when she got a mouth and lips full of piercings, but this has gotten her scared like a baby rabbit.

As her social circle smoke she is going to have a really tough time giving up, the last time she tried she quit for 6 weeks before giving back in to peer pressure.

Got a feeling this is going to dominate my BD appointment tomorrow, and may knock me off the flying wagon but I will try and get back here everyday with whatever I have done
