Weekly Flylady Thread 24th September 2007

pigpen

(((hugs))) for tinsel as well.. there seem to be a lot of you needing hugs today:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: hugs for everyone!!!

I'm off to bed..

Oh.. I posted a weekend list for those who want it.. if you choose to ignore it feel free there are no extra points awarded here just the satisfaction of knowing you are more prepared for winter and christmas and less cluttered than you were before.

((tinselfairy)) that is awful news, my friend's parents have just been through something very similar and relocated to a bungalow. After the initial shock and the moving home etc they thankfully seem very happy now, hope your DHs parents manage to do the same and come through it with a smile. Thinking of you all.

**ignores pigpen's weekend list** well I might have a 'look' later, night night pigpen, hope you feel better when you wake up

Way behind on the Flying now and I don't spose I'll get any more done tonight coz I've still got lots of Avon to do (including sorting out all the wet brochures I collected today - yuk).

Oh well I started well at least!

Have a good weekend everyone.

Excellent weekend list PigPen. :TSo many of those are just for me and would be a massive relief/achievement to get them done. Luckily too a couple I have already done so that encourages me even more to have a go.

I've had my first 2 nightshifts this week and seem to be coping pretty well, haven't been overdoing it daytimes though just to be on the safe side.;)

Hugs to those with worries of sick parents. I too know how stressful that is. Maybe keeping your flylady routines are even more important at times like those as keeping them up to date does make you feel so in control. I know that feeling of lack of control over my mums condition, especially as I live so far away, was the most stressful part.
