Weekly Flylady Thread 24th March 2008

soappie

Morning all and hugs to all those feeling sick or fretting or stressed. Not been up long. Don't know what I shall do with the day. Finish the community newsletter I guess and put some washing on.

I personally hate the fact the clocks will be going forward next weekend because I much prefer the lighter mornings to the lighter evenings (I'm generally a lark rather than an owl). Means I'll be getting up in the dark again for a while.

Have a good one ladies.

Hi all- I am new to all this fly lady thingy but I do really need the help!! I found this thread last thursday but I thought i couldn't possibly start half way through the week!!! So here I am raring to go at my 1st flying day.

Thanks for all the lovely messages..really appreciate them OH has been in the hosp this morning after work to take some special dressings his dad has so sneaked in to see his mum - apparently shes in a bad state and they are saying plaster will be on her wrist for 6 weeks at least and her other arm will be out of action for 3 months possibly!Poor thing cant even feed herself!

Anyway i finally got asleep at gone 4am but bump woke me up at 6am by wriggling too much and again at 7:30am so i decided to get up! About 3 hours sleep?! Hmm.. guess im just getting into practise! :rotfl:

Hi all, I'm new too. I'm going to join in this week, but can't start till tomorrow as I'm still at my parents. Previous attempts at just reading the flyladies thread has made me feel faint, so will start off slowly and gently. I've only plucked up the courage now 'cos Ive gone through Gingham Ribbons slovenly thread - lucasmum it's a must read! Also I'm sure there's some posts where all the abbreviations are explained.

Big (((((hug))))) to Johanne, all the best to your ILs.

Enjoy the rest of your morning everyone.

Hello to Lucasmum:D Your 5 yr old boy is DS1, and your 1 yr old is DS2, hope that helps.
If anyone mentions a HHC, its a half hour challenge.
DW is dishwasher, WM is washing machine, TD is tumble dryer
HHI is half hour ironing
BM is breadmaker
Did i miss any?

lucasmum

Thanks gunsandbanjos- unfortunately I won't be needing the DW one coz I don't have one!! But the rest will make typing easier. I have been lurking on here for a while and you guys have made a big impression on me already. I have used my BM(!!!) for the first time in about 4 years and have started baking again. I can vouch for the weetibix cake and moist lemon cake and the legendary Apple Braid. Now I just need to get to grips with tidying up after all that cooking.
I have to admit giggling through Gingham Ribbons thread yesterday, it made me feel much better about my house.
Oh, is there a difference between DH and OH?

been up since 4 minutes to 4 :eek: as OH woke me up and I couldnt get back to sleep so have managed 2 whole hours of the dreaded ironing and it hasnt even made a dent in the pile !

Kaz - I did 2.5 hours ironing last night and I've done another 3 hours this morning and I still haven't finished! Just having a quick break then I'm going to do some more - determined to finish!

Lucas's mum - OH - other half, DH - dear hubby, DP - dear partner - that's sort of how it works.

Aimee - hope everything goes well with the moving in!

I've stripped DS's bed as well and put the bedding and a few other bits in the WM but I've noticed a tissue going round as well so I'll see how it comes out!

Right, I'm off to do some more ironing:eek:
