Asparklierblonde said:I have already responded to a rubbishy work email (a member of the public accusing me of being rude, I’m absolutely anything but in fact I’m too nice most of the time!) which has set me on a downer. Anyway, I’m going to shake that off and go outside in the sun to feed the animals.
Some people think you are rude when you do not give them what they want.. rude is not an insult it means you are setting your boundaries. If you were rude you would haave told them to do one on purpose. 'rude' can also mean other things.. irritated, firm, assertive, bored, worried... It is a step in the right direction that your plan to be less giving and gentle and put yourself in a more imprtant position... congratulations!!! Keep up the great work!
We are hoping to have a baby by this evening, maybe the morning... EC has gone into labour overnight.. everything crossed for a boring uneventful delivery!

Everything on the To Do Today List is done - apart from the fact that I did the shop without a list.

The vibes WORKED ladies!! Thank you! It went really well today at the hospital. We are moving in the right direction, finally.
If there are any spare vibes tomorrow DD would appreciate them again - she’s currently shaking like a leaf next to me at the thought of high school tomorrow. I know she will be absolutely fine, but the thought is scary..Piggers - your response earlier to my comment reminds me why I vote Piggers for PM. You made my day with reframing the thinking, thank you. Keep us posted with baby news please!
I did get two loads of laundry dried, created wallows for the pigs which they were so thankful for as the ground is just solid, collected eggs and made packed lunches. Let’s ignore the fact we had plain noodles for tea with wraps 🙈🙈🙈. I will cook properly tomorrow but after 8 hours out of the house, then doing said jobs, my GUAG and naffed off to bed.
Sleep well ladies xx8 -
Excellent news, ASB, and here are more flylady vibes for little Miss ASB for tomorrow. I hope she finds that all is fine and that there is a world of new friends and fantastic experiences for her x
Now here’s a first in a long time - here I am reporting in on a Monday. Nothing to report as achieved, but I’m here. Wm is loaded for tomorrow with DD’s super smelly festival-working gear. Dinner has been cobbled together with contents from the fridge, but let’s just say that we all hit our 5 a day at that one meal, let alone anything else we have had to eat today. Now I am flopped as it is twot.
Coping vibes heading Round’s way for tomorrow x
Hope the packing up goes ok, Natty, and keep us in the know, Piggers, about baby EC.

Great news ASB.
I'm really struggling to galvanise myself into action at the moment. Too much time on tablet or kindle is not helping me do all the things I need to do.
- went to zumba, first one back after the hols so it was great.
- stopped at the library on the way home, got a couple of map/guide books for my hol.
- piled clothes on spare bed ready for hol.
- wandered round the house vaguely putting things away
- picked more tomatoes and cucumber, plus a couple of beetroots
- listened to a webinar and booked a follow-up.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.8
