Weekly Flylady Thread 26th May 2008

soappie

I'm now officially pooped and about to fall into bed to sleep hopefully not perchance to dream - just to sleep! Have done some snagging in the living room and it's just about how I'd like it to be.

Kaz - hugs on the car crash. But, it made me smile (is that gross?) because it reminded of an incident years ago when a good friend of mine had an accident at a junction (which wasn't her fault). There were no physical injuries but the Rolls Royce that was involved suffered far more damage than her little Citreon 2CV (anyone remember those?)

And big hugs to all those who have had fallings out and dodgy days and who are ill. May the bluebird of happiness fly your way without sh*tting over everything...

Night night all - I'm about to crash out....

Jamiedodger: ((hugs)) must been a terrible day for you

Pinkfairy: How exciting for DD, are you smarter than a 10 year old, we love that programme, keep us updated how she gets on

Nicki, good luck with the essay, hope you get some of it written tonight

Lil me: Wow, a caravan, very brave, I could never drive with one of them behind the car and I am not a scaredy woman driver or anything, just the thought of towing a big caravan and driving other motorists mad, just fills me with dread..

Kaz, that must have been so scary, was the other driver ok with it all? Good luck for driving tomorrow, you will be fine.

Mudbath, good for you keeping your cool. They can just drive you to the limit can't they?

Pigpen: teenagers? They don't care that you have worked your ar*se off all day, or are not feeling well and still went to work and cooked their tea and dropped them of at Guides and then dare to ask them to shift some of their stuff, "In a minute" is a phrase I hear often and/or rolling of the eyes and how she is the slave and has to do EVERYTHING hahahaha

anyway, regarding the flying? What flying? have I missed something?

Not done much, supply job horrible this morning, still feeling full of snot and coughing like mad, so just made malteser cake this afternoon, and watched tv and computer tonight. A big "SORRY" and must do better..

Looks like its been a tough day for several of us.

Mudbath - take it easy and have that bath and relax in the knowledge that you are a good mum.

arwenelf - headache for a week, I would say are you stressed but most of us are, we're mothers :rotfl: . Hugs for you and hope the head gets better soon (and remember that taking paracetomol every day for headaches can end up giving you headaches :eek: )

Holly - wait til you see my list for saturday, and this week it will get done!

For everyone else, I'll pass a big bottle of your favourite alkehol around so we can all have a drink and a chill before bed, which is where I'm off to now.

weeeeeeeeee!!!!!! im soooo happy had to come and post..

someone has bought my sofa i had on ebay for the buy it now price!:D

Its used and heavily stained (student age friends with a fondness of kebabs and beer!) but someone saw past this and is paying me £50 for it! I really didnt expect that much and thought i was being overly ambitious putting that as the buy it now and actually thought the sofa wouldnt even sell!:o

I just listed loads of maternity clothes too less than an hour ago and have a watcher already!

Hope things are looking up moneywise for us now.. now if only i can find another 35kish to pay off mine and OHs debts wed be laughing. :rotfl: :rotfl:

Kaz - glad no-one hurt, just take it easy tomorrow and you'll be fine

Lil_me - well done on sorting a caravan so quickly

Pink Fairy - good luck on the job front

Need to go and update list to see how bad Saturday is going to be and if I can fit a 10 mile walk in - the 13 mile charity walk is next weekend and I haven't even done 10 miles yet. Tomorrow morning need to drop car off for MOT then walk c2 miles for hair appointment - a few weeks ago I would not have even considered walking so there has been some progress.
