    Morning all

    Thanks to Dusty and Natty for the lists. I'm off work for another month, so I'm in again this week. Last week didn't go too bad, but we had problems with internet access towards the end and DS2 wanted to use the computer when it was working. I decided to use the weekend for cooking rather than other flying.

    (((Hugs))), Froddy and anyone else struggling with the BD. It's horrible and I hope you can get some support.

    Wendy - I charge DS1 £30 per week, plus an extra £10 for petrol money (I collect him every night and occasionally take him).

    OK, time to sort out a list and get started. Anyone for a HHC at 9.30?

    Great idea, ionafan. I can definitely make York - Birmingham will depend on whether I'm back at work.

    Morning :D today is the day I have to get organised to be able to do all I normally at my leisure, to only an hour or so a day. I don't want to burn out or start off my depression and/or frantic thoughts surrounding not coping I need you OS flylady!

    Just coming round with a cuppa (school run was a shock to the system and I didn't thin about getting PE kits ready which made us late so recovering from the stress of that!) then I'll do the straightening in kitchen and living room then get on with the bathroom.

    I won't be bleaching the grouting or cleaning the tiles though as we're re-grouting in the coming month or so - being kind to myself :p
  • I'm in -been lurking for ages and half completing the week. Closing my business down end of January and determined to be better organised at home. Did flylady before but had to 're register username as forgot details. Also doing organised at home in a year book - for 3rd year running. As I won't be working for a while, hoping it gets me organised in mean time.

    Morning all :D

    Hugs, sticks, vibes and get wells to all those who need them.

    Great start to the day here, was actually able to get up at 6.30 for the first time in months! DD was ready for school by 7.15 so the pair of us had a lovely quiet half hour sitting reading until she had to leave. I doubt we'll be able to keep it up though :rotfl: As soon as she left I got changed and did my exercise for today. I'm now shattered but hoping to have a productive day. ;)
