Weekly Flylady Thread 18th February 2008

JillD_2

kaz and others - I never thought of printing list off how dumb am I ?!

Steph - I have tried countless times to catch up on here in the day and post replies in the day and join in in the cuppas being brewed etc but I always get interrupted by some child or other and getting sit down with laptop and coffee interupted is even more annoying so I dont even attempt it much any more. I just catch up in the evening and post a massive reply to everyone!

Morning all and a big :hello: to the new people.

I'm not a happy soappie this morning. I think I have a cold coming. There's something seriously going on up in my sinuses and getting worse by the minute. I shall leap in the bath now and see how I feel after that before I make the decision as to whether or not I go into work.

soappie

Well, bathed and made the decision. I'm officially off sick today. ~sniffle~

Aaaw Thanks so much for your reply JillD, It is so nice to know that I am not the only mum of young kiddies that finds it hard to keep up to their old standards .

I do always get the basics done, it's just the dust and the clearing of cupboards and the more indepth cleaning of things that does'nt get tackled that often nowadays. Like you and some pp's said, it's more important the kids are fed and clothed and tea is on the table rather than the attic is cleared out and their is no dust on my make-up table :rolleyes: .

Hopefully flyLady will help me maybe just get one or two extra things done per day, rather than me just staring at it and giving up before I even start

Also I must set myself a rule that I don't keep coming and sitting here (infront of the pc) as thats not helping either . I will do 10 minutes first thing to check my bank account, 10 minutes at lunch time and then in the evening once the kids are in bed .

Thanks again, hope all you Flyladies have a good Monday and get sorting those old knickers :rotfl:

Hi to all the newbies :hello:

Half term is over, so I can get back to flying. Hurrah!

My 'wee' samples have gone. Someone is brave enough to take them :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I'm going to watch GMTV as they are doing a feature on a couple who got married for 1k. I'm sure we could have got that number down! I'll write my list for today as I'm watching. I've got lots of bitty things to do, so I need to make sure I dont forget anything. The way my memory is at the moment, thats a very good possibility :doh:

Hope to be back around lunch time for a HHC. Have a good day everyone xx

Morning :wave:

Welcome new people :hello:

ouch Galant, hope you don't feel too bruised this morning.
Feel better soon soappie x

Went out for lunch yesterday and boy I wish I hadn't bothered lol went to 5 different pubs and couldn't get in any of them! We ended up in Wetherspoons cause I wasn't going to McDonalds (our last option) but it was ok, only £16 for 3 of us, I'm sure it was all frozen food though - yak!

Work today for 3 hours but it's slap bang in the middle of the day so this morning's a write-off, will get the weekly shop straight after I've finished cause I'm next to Asda so it makes sense.

Half-term here this week so I'm trying to fit in 'fun-stuff' aswell, decided were going to the flicks on Wednesday @ 5 to see National Treasure 2 (that was the only thing available after 2pm) we want to see it anyway so it's all good. Must add popcorn to shopping list.

List:-

hoover through
S&S kitchen
load DW
Still have 1 load of washing to dry off the weekend so need to dry that somewhere, maiden methinks.
make beds
general quick tidy
weekly food shop
