Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd March 2008

Penelope_Penguin

Well, I got lots done, but not everything on my list. I think it was the enormity of the parsnip task that overcame me The chooks have had several treats of hot, cooked parsnip peelings :j

Ended the day feeling sorry for myself and taken for granted Had a heart to heart with DS (the worst culprit) who's gone and tidied, dusted and hoovered his room, and found a load of stuff to eBay. He gets the profit (less charges) so should have a few £££ in his pocket for his holiday.

Off to w*** tomorrow, so have a good day!

DS1 breathing down my neck to get back on the PC so will have to type fast!

I gardened today, got back at 2.30 for a late lunch, and absolutely starving. I did a bit of the kitchen this morning before I left, but that is it for flying today.

I did have a longish chat on the phone with my sister. Mum has been moved this morning to the care home. She was upset and frightened when she arrived - my sister and Dad were there waiting for her, so she wasn't on her own, and settled in more happily then. We're all feeling a bit shell shocked at the moment, after six months in hospital, it's quite a change. We are sure that it is the right place, but still anxious to find out that everything is being done, if that makes sense! My sister rang this morning to ask when she could go in, and the manager said immediately 'This is your mother's home - you can come whenever you like, and stay as long as you want', which was lovely to hear after the strict hospital visiting times!

Must go - the children are doing a survey with one of the students from next door, and I haven't finished the washing up yet, she's just doing DS2 at the moment, so hopefully won't take too long. I need a cup of tea.

Hello to all the newbies! Don't burn yourselves out on the first few days of the week - there's more to come! And the rooms all come round again.

Serena.. that is good news about your mum.. lots of visiting during the next few days while she ssettles in is VITAL.. the biggest and hardest part is the adapting to the new setting for her and she will be frightened and upset.

Give her a hug from me and know we are thinking of you all!! Is she likely to ever be well enough to come home to her proper house or is that uncertain still?

Evening all,

A successful day at work although how many times I climbed up and down the stairs I dont now as I lost count, never mind thats the exercise taken care of for today.

Welcome back, pp, denise & nicki was wondering where you had been, anyone heard from rach recently?
vanilla glad you had a good trip and enjoyed the science centre
lil-me wel done with the debt reduction and assignment I will be joining you in June with an OU degree not quite sure if I realise what I am taking on but I want to get into teaching and its the only way for me.

I have managed to finish my small list which I posted last night and also tackled some of pigpens -
decluttered lounge
hoovered lounge & dining room

I will have a look at tomorrows list when I get in from work but again will probably only manage a little of it.

Hope you all have a good tuesday.

not feeling like doing very much more now after greasy overcooked fish and chips - meat out now for tomorrows tea, and we can have shepherds pie tomorrow and some veg. Might make me feel a bit less lethargic.

Haven't done much since the last post, so thought i would list check and see how i was doing.

Going to try and mark a y8 h/w sheet then which is fairly quick before going to bed. - up to nearly midnight last night, and i think that is why i'm a little fuzzy round the edges.

Quick question for those doing night courses etc.

I get CA and don't work, is it still true I can get upto £200 for a night course?

Can't do an OU as if I wasn't going to a class I wouldn't complete it!

cha97michelle

Right, going to compose myself a list to whizz through tomorrow.
