Welcome one and all

I know all about flylady, think she is fab but at the moment feeling too emotionally crippled to cope with the emails, wearing shoes, the huge long threads, the pressure of doing it right.......

so no links to her please

I will get there at some point but for now

For whatever reason that you cry about your house or are scared to start cause there is tooo much to do.

Let s just whinge and try and do a little thing a day if we can

morning to all

Morning

I was on flylady yesterday and got lots done.

Today I am feeling a bit sick and little bit Soo no flying today methinks.

Okay what do you want me to do? I shall tell you what I need to do okay :

Go shops
Washing living room floor

Thats IT!!

TrinityRhino · 18/01/2007 10:18

hmmm are you sure you can't get someone else to shop, if your not well, maybe you should stay in

so my vote is to wash the floor BUT if you have to go to the shops from lack of food then do that and leave the floor for tommorrow

don't make yourself more ill and worn out

TrinityRhino · 18/01/2007 10:29

Oh shit, ick, cringe, yuck

Tep we caufght another one, well the traps are working weel, that 2 traps been put down, one a night after the little one is in bed and we've caught one a night

right kitty, do you have a dishwasher or do you do them by habd?

If oyu have a dishwasher, empty it first and then feel good about that OR fill your sink and put somein to soak and feel good about that.

take it easy, don't look at it as a whole thing

Well I have put a washing round the radiators and fed cat and picked few things up that were lying about my feet!!

I am feeling very bored today?

Just off Depo jag so probably PMT - no period for 2 years so its 2 years worth of PMT/period pains. Fantastic!!!!

ItsMeMellowma · 18/01/2007 10:34

Ewww at the mouse blood!!

TrinityRhino · 18/01/2007 10:36

oh dear mellow, thats not nice, are you TTC or just wanting to change contraception?

sorry if too personal and sorry if I have already been told

I have the memory of a half dead goldfish

Hi,
Technically I'm on FLY threads, but I am not well, and can't do anything. I went shopping in the rain (Had no choice as I had to pay money into the bank) and yesterdays washing up is all over the place (not even hidden in the sink!) I will gather it up and make a cup of tea while I fill the sink.

kittylette · 18/01/2007 10:38

thanks trinity, good advie

i dont have a dishwasher

but im getting one at the end of the month

i cant be that good tho, as im still sat here typing and wondering who else is going to be name dropped on the claim to fame thread, instead of taking your advice!!

TrinityRhino · 18/01/2007 10:39

hi jelley don't do too much if your ill but just gathering it up for now sounds good.

just realsied that the title makes it look like I can't spell little lol

OP posts:
ItsMeMellowma · 18/01/2007 10:39

Well.....

Would like to ttc but feel I should think about it a bit more Although have been broody for about a year now!!

Its such a hard decision with the third, number 2 was simple, wanted a brother or sister for DS1 but I don't have any reason for wanting a third.

Me and dh are getting on better than we have ever done and I am a bit worried about that side of things changing again.

Oh I don't know, decision decisions.

What do you think? Should I?

TrinityRhino · 18/01/2007 10:40

thats ok kitty, youhave to do it when you are ready to, in a sec you may just feel like jumping up and doing it cause you know it'll only take 5 mins and then you'll feel better.

OP posts:
kittylette · 18/01/2007 10:40

no, your just trying to be cod

JustIvor · 18/01/2007 10:42

Hi TrintyRhino. I'm on the daily FLY thread but wanted to say hello and that you're doing well.

TrinityRhino · 18/01/2007 10:43

well mellow, I'm probably not the person to ask. I am still on anti d's since the birth of my first (lots of changing circumstances in the years since, not just PND) but I am due in 2 and a half weeks with dd3. she wasn'r planned but we both knew that we weren't using contraception and so both knoew we didn't mind if it happened. bit quick perhaps cause dd2 was 12 months when I found out BUT I would say GO FOR IT

sounds like you are much more stable than I am lol so GO ON have another they are lovely lol

you could just do as we did and not think about ti but don't use anything, it's nice to have a surprise

OP posts:
TrinityRhino · 18/01/2007 10:44

Hi justivor, thanks
you made me feel much better last night

hope your flying well today

Off to fill in my forms and then I will think of the next little thing I can manage
