Weekly Flylady Thread 31st December 2007

Plus point from yesterday, hubby finally, after 5 years, sorted through all his[STRIKE] junk[/STRIKE] 'memories' that were stuffed into all the cupboards in the bedroom.

Bad point, he took it as a cue to argue all day bout me forcing him to throw out all his memories. And because I said I'd rather pay someone to fit built in bedroom cupboards than have him do it. Which meant to him that I said he was carp at DIY... it was a fun day, especially with him then having a go at me for not doing dishes and what not.

So I do have a lot to do, but a childish part of me doesn't want to do it to shove it to him, and another part wants to do it all to shove it to him. Think I'm going to have a great week. :mad:

Morning ladies.

I actually slept in today - haven't done that for weeks! Didn't wake up once with a blocked nose. But, I've a pretty chesty cough now. Maybe, at last, this cold is sorting itself out!

So, I'm still sitting here in my nightie and dressing gown with a cup of tea. Must go and get a bath in a moment then get on with the business of the day. It's market day today so I've decided to potter into town and buy my fresh veg there. This will then probably entail a 'freeze in' as you usually get the best bargains buying in bulk.

Hug for maralum - Know how it feels hun. We moved so we were living in town/village DH worked so he could save nearly 2 hours a day travelling only for the witch he worked for to make him redundant 5 months later:mad: . He did find another job quickly (hopefully your DH will be lucky too!) but at reduced rate of pay. Still you sound positive and in a good frame of mind about it all and this site will help you no end too:D . Nice to see you back:T .

JillD - nice to hear that you and yours are all doing well.

Got the littles doing thank you cards this morning. Printed them off the web so they have their new huge box of colouring pens etc out and am hoping it keeps them busy for a while. DD1 is doing thank yous for her birthday presents again as DD2 ripped the ones she made with her stamper set up (that was a fun 10 mins trying to calm that down:rolleyes: ).

So far this morning I have watched "how to look good naked" on demand, drank several cups of tea, fed and watered the littles, removed the undies drying on the radiator overnight into basket for sorting, put last nights ironing away, done breakfast dishes. Actually I have actually done something, am amazed.

List today (will have to check what the official room of doom is) but my list is:-

Make loaf and rolls for freezer
Make lasagna for tea (also some for freezer too)
Experiment with my new doughnut maker
Drink lots of tea
Rehoover through
Do tesco order
Phone to accept party invite for DD2
Sort undies basket
Try to shove another 3 bags on rubbish in wheelie bin for tomorrows collection:o

Thats all my brain can cope with at the mo so cuppa first me thinks:D

embb

OH's been round. We've split up. I'm devastated.

Not sure what I'll get done off the list, it might be good for me to clean and do stuff, I really don't know what to do at the minute my head's everywhere

Nice to see you again maralum & Jill xx

shell2001

Oh embb I am so sorry. I know you said you had things you needed to say but I guess he did not react in the way you had hoped. I know if I am pee'd off everything in the house sparkles I find it therapeutic!

Take care sweetie

addictedtolush

I am sorry to hear that embb, I have only been here a few days so dont know your situation or anything but any break up is hard. Sending hugs to you, as I said before, I havent been here long but if you want to chat then just message me xx

soappie

Embb, so sorry to hear your news. Cleaning can be therapeutic but you also need to find time to sit down and grieve.

Sending you lots of hugs

maralum

Oh gosh Embb, I'm so sorry. I truly hope that things get better for you soon. You now you can always come here if you need us.

embb

:kisses3: thanks. I certainly wasn't expecting it that's for sure. Think I'll go and do some stuff and have a cry, littleys in the other room and don't want to be blubbing in front of her ....catch you later xxxxx

catznine

:hello:Hello!

I'm back on board! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! I am back to work today for the first time in 2 years! Fingers crossed I get on ok! Only part time but I need to get organised at home now. I made a start on the bathroom but with oh at home today he can do the study (desk and clutter pile in corner of dining room really)
