Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd March 2008

Justamum

I just read the link you posted AnW'smum. How awful for you. I'm so sorry about what happened to your DH. All the references to it have been a bit cryptic to me - I've only been "flying" for 3 weeks now. My heart goes out to you. Massive hugs to you.

Morning :wave:

Just a quickie before work, 6 hours again today and now just got given 4 hours for Saturday:eek: I'm exhausted already lmao

Was gonna say lots of things to lots of people now I've forgotten what I was gonna say and to who, think the Patrick Swayze news has thrown me somewhat, poor guy, loved him in Dirty Dancing

AnW'smum stay strong flower, we're all here for you and sending hugs and positive vibes, what a lovely beaming smile Ian had. xx

House is a pit, got absolutely nothing left when I get in from work and the house is suffering, it's all I can do to make the tea, what I really want to do when I get in is crawl into bed lmao......someone said it would get easier..........uhm NO no matter, it's not the end of the world, hey!

Hi Tracy :hello: glad you're feeling better.

GnB.. The ligaments loosen and then the bones grow to fill the slack.. it is while the ligaments are loose that they feel the growing pains so it may well be she is going to have another growth spurt.. DON'T BUY ANY MORE CLOTHES YET!!! lol My son on GHR and my oldest girl get them quite bad, my youngest sister did too. It is worse in children who don't like lots of sport/running about etc apparently as the muscles aren't as strong to hold things secure. I quizzed the orthopaedic surgeon about this can you tell?

Garage rehomed.. just waiting for the woman to come collect the cot bedding and I'll have half a shelf cleared in my room

Best go find my list from yesterday and edit it!

BF is English and although we will not fall out, I know he'll tease me.

Imagine how the World Cup was for me - my DH is South African and I'm English. Mind you I did warn him not to rub it in because I didn't rub it in when England won in 2003!

2 of mine are too.. the 2 with growth problems bizarrely!! My 5 year old can turn her feet to face backwards.. it is her party trick.. 'watch this!' and everyone squeals.. never fails to impress and disgust!!

To the shock of the paed she has only ever dislocated her elbow once they said she would have numerous trips to A&E with dislocated limbs but she has only been once.. and that was when hubby was taking her up to bed holding her hand and she suddenly decided she didn't want to go and took her feet off the floor!! ..
