Weekly Flylady Thread 18th February 2008

Hi all

Just flying in briefly before I go and do some more work. At home today, so can do a bit of flying when I take a PC break!

Hello to all Newbies!!!

Re: the tragedy of my broken laptop - does anyone know how much it would cost for the LCD screen to be replaced?:eek: I'm thinking of claiming on the house insurance as it would only cost the excess.

I've sort of lost the plot a bit wiht flying this week. My sister only stopped one night as she had forgotten her mobile, couldn't remember other people's numbers and they bhadn't got mine! I thought she'd learned her lesson with that (she' the eldest of the three of us) when Dad died. That was on the Saturday, and I finally got hold of her on the Monday when I called her school and ask the head to pull her out of class. She never was gifted with common sense thought.

Anyway, dailies done:

SS Bathroom/shower room - done
SS kitchen - done
CP on - done
DW emptied - done
WM on - done
BM going on in a minute

I've been looking for motivation to do the housework and at last I think I've found it. Have looked at the Flylady website several times in recent years but have never managed to do anything often enough for it to become a routine.

My biggest problem is that I turn the PC on an before I know it half the day's gone and I'm beating myself up for not doing anything.

So I printed Wednesdays list off last night so that I could get going as soon as I got up, quite pleased with what I've done so far:

Have also made the bed, aired the bedroom and remembered to get the shepherds pie out of the freezer for tonights dinner

Now off to walk the dog then get ready for work.

Let's hope I can keep the momentum going
