Weekly Flylady Thread 12th May 2008

Little_Miss_Magic

Hi Guys....

Have been reading this thread for over an hour, its the first time I have come across it, and i think you may have all persuaded me into joining you all...;)
Although after over an hour's reading, i am feeling slightly kn***ered and thats just with the thought of all the flinging, cleaning, wiping, mopping etc.. that you have all been doing._pale_

The problem I seem to have at home, is it all seems so overwhelming, if you know what i mean....
I look around me, and so much needs doing, that i just think sod it!! And usually tend not to do any of it....:rotfl:

Start off with all good intentions....and then sort of lose the plot a bit, and usually end up watching tv or reading etc.:o

Anyway, going to go back to the first page and see whats on the list for Tuesday......see if i can muster a little bit of energy for tomorrow.:D

Hugs for now.

tiptoes great news about the braces
Little Miss Magic, welcome, I think we've all started with that overwhelming feeling, start small, you'll get there (PS we all still have blips where it gets all overwhelming again)
raph does asda not deliver to you? Might work out cheaper even with the delivery, usually a few codes on here aswell
Daisydoll - a tip, little ones wriggle and eat things they shouldn't so we've always put the tooth in an envelope
LG sit on nicely folded clothes while on computer, helps get the creases out.
g&b told you they make great house pets, you can train them easy to a litter tray aswell, my cousins is like a dog apart from the fact it doesn't bark, even plays with a ball. If I didn't have the dogs (Megan likes to try to kill bunnies ) I would have one
Michelle, you've put me off EVER using MFI
Craftyscholar I don't even own that many pairs of shoes!

I'm sat on a cushion and it still hurts, I even went to bed for an hour so I could lay on my front, this bike riding thing has a lot to answer for, oh and my legs ache but I think that's just off the exercise, ok I did finances/accounts when I was there so not all lazy. I have no idea how I will be able to sit on it tomorrow, I think I have bruised something but I know if I don't keep using it it will hurt more....

I've had an ok evening, kitchens mostly done after a late dinner for us, living room is littered with DPs empties in his 'corner' so if they aren't gone by tomorrow AM he's getting nagged, I've ignored it all day, I will get him to clean up after himself eventually. Got a washer load in now, hoping to get that on the line tomorrow as the forecast looked better.

It seems flyladies have hit the bottle big time tonight - me included - felt I needed it after today.

Tiptoes great news about your DS brace I bet he is delighted
Boddy hope GS1 is better soon
Mudbath - hi

Right off to bed now. Sleep tight x

Does anyone find they work better when angry?? oH and I had a (rare) barney when he got home from work, and I think I got more done then, mulling over what had gone on, than I had all day!

Ah-ha, that's the problem :idea: - my house is a tip because we don't argue enough! :rotfl:

I wanted 7.. then I got greedy.. now I've discovered bunnies.. I don't kniw why I didn't just have those in the first place!

See i read that in totally wrong context and thought you meant a different type of "bunny" when i first read it.....

(Which also would have prevented the having 8 kids i suppose! :rotfl: )

I'm going to keep using my rucksack for the minute, there is a sainsburys near me too so I might try there. I want to see if more frequent, smaller shopping trips will cost me less. Encourages me not to buy things I don't really need as I will have to lug it back.

soappie

Morning all

Off to the office this morning so :cool: ORF ops - if you get a moment - Buster's there :cool:.
Just heard the 3 day forecast on the radio and it was depressing. Given I'm going on holiday on Saturday, I didn't like the fact the forecaster was mentioning the possibility of torrential rain.

I'm in with the living room challenge. I also need to post some more ebay parcels.
