    Not me either, I keep my pill between my knees :D

    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 all

    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

    Wondrous Wednesday - Superb study & Bathrooms of Bubbliciousness (yes of course that is a word!!)
    Level One
    Declutter the floors
    Empty and wash out bins
    Clean any windows
    Level Two
    Clean the bath, sinks, toilets, showers.. shine the taps!
    Vacuum/mop floors
    Declutter the pc desk
    Level Three
    Wipe the keyboard, mouse, sockets, switches and telephone
    HHI
    Clean under any furniture you can move but don't usually bother moving
    Extras

    1. Sort out all clothes in kids rooms - put away clean stuff, remove dirty stuff
    2. Clean DD2's swing, remove from hall and get out in the gardenGrab a cuppa.. and if it is nice.. go sit outside for a bit an enjoy life!! If not you can sit here and talk to me!! ;) - I like this one, so gonna keep it, I've not enjoyed the nice weather nearly as much as I should have
    3. Clean dirty marks off of buggy
    4. Take all extra coats etc in hall upstairs and put away in wardrobes
    5. Open curtains and windows in kids rooms



    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 ;)

    Oh I'm also going to change the HHI to HHE as I cleared all the ironing yesterday and am planning to walk to the school at 3pm instead of driving :D (assuming the weather's nice)



    Started comping 29/10/2010

    WINS: 29/10 - bag of Skittles :T, Max Factor make up :j

    Restarted Comping June 2011 - June wins: Cushelle Koala, Starbucks book and £5 card
