Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd March 2008

pigpen

Mudbath.. pathetic excuse.. we have 2 hands for a reason.. the vacuum only needs 1 hand.. ditto the broom, duster, bog brush, toy picking up.. and I'm pretty certain we can find a way to accomplish everything else as well.. a bag of parrots biscuits for the pain and get on lass!!

Welcome to all newbies.. be afraid.. be VERY afraid!!

MOAM.. I'm off to Crufts too, with my mother and 2 oldest girls.. just for the Sunday, but staying Saturday and Sunday nights (no worries Lil_me.. next weeks list is covered!! ).. we'll be at the dachshunds and bassets and we have best in show tickets for the night.. you up for a [strike]beer[/strike] :coffee:?? Don't suppose you are staying at the local travellodge are you?? lol

Morning all.

Lost my motivation by Wed last week and it shows!
Need to do better this week. Am going to try my own list each day as some rooms just stand a better chance of getting done that way with the way our week goes.

Way to go Denise :j

Mudbath- Poor you and the plaster, missed last weeks thread so not sure what happened, but lilac does sound a good choice

Hope those who were giving up things are still doing well.
I've been doing the morning jog round the block, still puffing and panting but I'm trying.

Welcome newbies and those returning.

Have a good day.
