Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd February 2014

Mumto5

Thanks for the list Natty. I'm in.

I'm working today. I need to do an online shop for tomorrow.

I don't have to collect the little ones until 4.25 so I have two hours after work to get the list started.

Wishing everyone a good week.

Thanks to Natty for this week's list and to Dusty for last week's. I didn't declutter the LR last week but have copied and kept the relevant part of the list in case I ever feel the urge Atm DH is being very good about keeping things tidy in there, and it's presentable if people drop in.

I crashed out just after 10.30 last night and woke up with the alarm at 6.50 this morning - no lie-in allowed because the electrician always arrives promptly, and I have a long list of things to do after breakfast!

Tiny starts nursery tomorrow, although with me and then on tuesday and onwards without me. Part time for Feb and then full time in march. I'm going to miss her terribly and realise that she will be leaving high school soon while the big one is living in some far off land with her family. It will however allow me to fly better and get more work done.
Perhaps not tomorrow but from tuesday, after I have laid in the bath for an hour and perhaps had a nap ALL BY MYSELF.

Aww, Roxy, I feel for you - but having a bath without a limpet attached to you will be an amazing treat, and I hope you enjoy your nap!

Morning everyone

Thank you Natty. I also didnt have a great week flying last week, although sometimes thats just the way it is.

Paid stuff today, hoping that I might be home by 4, so should have time to walk the dog, feed everyone and tackle the bathroom and office. Thats if I dont get any calls about job number 2 ...

Onwards and upwards!

I'm in please! Thanks for the list Natty:)

Thanks for old and new threads. Slowly getting more done though have not managed a single day when the whole list has been struck through sadly. Hope we're all up for the new week; that people are starting to feel better from their lurgies and sending positive vibes to everyone.

Hi all xx

Trying my best each week and failing!!!

Hoping to keep up this week and think posting my progress will keep me on track!!

I've been lurking and trying to follow the lists unsuccessfully for a while. I too am hoping that joining in and posting will help - actually it is coz I think I've done more since yesterday than I have in the last couple of weeks!

so much of the paper mountain is there because I have been unable to deal with it emotionally for years and it is bringing back memories I'd rather lay buried.

The good thing is that it is now lessening - in every way. Time is a great healer.

I feel for you, it is hard but I'm coming to understand that burying these things can sometimes do more harm than good ...better to release them to move on tho easier said than done. I'm glad to hear your pain is now lessening x
