Weekly Flylady Thread 17th April 2017

atypicalblonde

Afternoon all,

The forecast is dire here for the rest of the week so we've taken the decision to come home early. Not ideal but kids will be climbing the walls if we can't get out (as will we) and at least if it's rubbish weather at home we have all their toys, craft bits etc to use.

Have to admit I'm looking forward to them going back to school / Pre-school on Monday I've heard 'but Mummmmmeeeeeee' more times then I care to recount.

Hugs all round xx

Thanks Jazee. You're not a wuss, you're trying to do too much, so, rest please along with Lynne on the Flylady Sofa. I'll send a Chippendale round later to bring a G&T with a large slice of lime and lots of ice for each of you.

Please may I have one? Without the gin...;)


Returners - don't try to do too much at once - cathching up is NOT necessary. Try dot-to-dot but take it steady. Its a thankless task anyway...

Just checking in. Dailies done here, everyone fed and watered and am calling today a success. Absolutely shattered for no particular reason.

Hugs, sticks and spoons available to all who need them.

Morning ladies - nice to see some old faces returning to the nest :wave:

Had a funny old day yesterday which started with an early morning phonecall to DH's cousin to check up on him, as his GF was in hospital with pancreatic problems caused by gallbladder inflammation. He was (supposedly) looking after their two small boys. Turns out he took them to his brothers and left them there without milk or clean clothes. His brother and my DH work together, so I'd been given the heads-up that all was not well.

I hope I've persuaded him to go to the doctors as I think he is depressed. GF is having a head-fit from her hospital bed :eek: and threatening to come home, so it's a bit jangly here.

Blew off some steam on a [STRIKE]mountain climb[/STRIKE] walk with a friend yesterday with her two boys and mine. One small stinging nettle accident, horse poo poking with sticks (boys!) and I got caught short and had to tiddle in the undergrowth, but otherwise it went well. Boys in bed for 7pm, which is unheard of and I collapsed onto the sofa, cream-crackered.

My hip kept me awake most of the night and I'm struggling this morning, but have taken some anti-inflammatories, so will be up and at 'em soon. In a while. After my cuppa.....

Did do an hour of ironing yesterday and one half of the kitchen. I'm afraid I closed the door on the microwave after a brave but foolish inspection.

Hope your phone gets sorted today Narc0 - what an annoying situation :mad:

Oh, and Valli? Pour your gin in my glass....I'm only on Day 3064 of the Easter break and there's still a looooonng way to go...

Jazee

Morning all. Welcome returners. Hugs to those who need them.

A no fly zone here again today. I will get dressed and wash the breakfast dishes. I think DH was hinting that some ironing needs to be done, we shall see.

Will be getting creative on a craft project for WI while I can't do much else. It will be judged next week haha.

Have a great day everyone.
