Right you horrible lot stop nattering so much nah it wouldn't be fun if you did

So you have wandered into this corner of MN were the fledglings - a long running but very friendly group welcomes newbies and follows the flylady way to try to get decluttered and on top of the boring stuff in order to have more time for the fun other boring but essential stuff

No idea whose turn it was to run the thread this month but here it the thread and we can figure it out from there.

I don't feel very well so I have come to bed.
You've all been so busy.

CotswoldStrife · 09/03/2018 22:00

Are you OK there Bower? Get some rest. I hope little zoo's explosion is soon! She must be really uncomfortable, poor thing.

I have stayed awake all day but I'm exhausted. Can't wait for bed!

We all need some rest before we tackle Saturday!

CotswoldStrife · 09/03/2018 22:01

The daily summary for Saturday (also available on the Flylady website at flight plan which should update automatically each day.

**

Baby-step no 10 - using a timer (this helps to keep me focused more than I’d like to admit!)

No zone work or missions at the weekends – woo hoo, enjoy!

The daily focus for Saturday is: family fun day

The monthly habit for March getting dressed to shoes

daily reminders

Bowerbird5 · 09/03/2018 23:51

No I wasn't before and just felt I had to let some know. Pulse very fast .
Thanks cotswold. I went to chemist and it was shut. Went to second option and they don't have it. Will phone in the morning before I trek 9 miles to get it. Then phone surgery if not there. Hope receptionist remembered to give it to him. I was supposed to start the tablets on Wednesday! Feeling a bit better now. DH phoned after I had gone to sleep and woke me up.😞

TooStressyForMyOwnGood · 10/03/2018 06:51

Hi all. Thanks for links Cotswold and glad you are feeling a little better. How is lil zoo doing zoo? Sorry to hear ‘D’P still being unhelpful Afresh.

Well the interview wasn’t a complete disaster so I am viewing that as a win Grin. Haven’t heard anything so it will be after the weekend now. There are some big downsides to the job so I don’t really know if I want it anyway Confused. Some very awkward questions about experience etc, you know where you are cringing inside?! Anyway, it is done and my presentation played which was good.

I was so tired last night I fell asleep putting DD2 to bed and woke up on her floor 2 hours later! I quickly put dishwasher on, got ready for bed and collapsed. I had done school run in morning, couple of hours at current job in the morning to help someone out, driven to other location, had interview, got back in time to take girls to swim lessons, popped into shop with them to get milk after then we did fish and chip tea as no food in house. So I think I was just exhausted. DH was on-call so he was resting.

Feel better for a good sleep (sorry for those who didn’t get one). Must get up now!

To do:-
Morning routine
Dancing for DD2 but will take DD1 with me
Buy present for friend’s child
Help DD1 wrap present for party this afternoon
Query a few things about the party (pick up time etc)
Occupy DD2
Food shop - we have nothing!
Best get on.

TooStressyForMyOwnGood · 10/03/2018 06:52

Hope you feel better soon Bower
