Not me either, I keep my pill between my knees
Thank you all for your lovely comments about DS, I am very proud. AnW's mum - that must have been a fab day for you.
Have had a really pants day at work and have spent the afternoon (and part of the evening) in tears after having a vicious verbal attack on me, because the said 'lady' had got in trouble from her boss and thought I'd ratted on her. I was so shocked as I hadnt said a word and my work mates were stunned. I did get an apology but it brought back all sorts of horrible memories of when I was bullied in my last job.
So I am watching waking the dead, making DD's lunch then going to bed with a few Kalms to help me sleep.
Night allMortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!0 -
Hi all
I didn't realise there was a flylady thread on here. Do you mind if I join you all? Sorry it's mid-week, was going to wait until next week, but I need to get going this week and could really do with the motivation
I have 3 rooms in particular that I want to make a dent in this week, DD's room, DS's room and Hallway. I'm having to fight my way through all 3 on a daily basis and it's driving me mental!!
Here's my list for tomorrow, hope I'm doing this right

- Clean dirty marks off of buggy

That should do for now. Going to try to do a bit more, but don't want to crash and burn my first day on the bored
