Lists for the Slatternly - May edition

[TrillianAstra]

Okay, I am clearly worrying way too much about this but there are only a few spaces left in the old thread!

(What do I think will happen if we finish without a new list? We'll just make a new one. Relax woman!)

Thanks to alicecrail for the title.

Please finish the old thread before starting on this one - there could be a prize if you are number 1000.

Morning all! Thanks for DS birthday wishes. He has rewarded me for all the fun we've had by waking up 3 times last night.

MM - you're far too far away for the crap well-worn furniture in my garage! I've signed up to our freecycle, but need to get looking on it and list everything. Painting is fun, but don't wear yourself out!

CWWM - I was convinced I wouldn't get to 40 weeks, I felt so full, but DS was due on the 1st. Take something essential out of your hospital bag, that might help things along.

MM - I grew up in Havant, and I only live an hour away now. I can't do anything this week but if you wanted a hand next week I'd love to come and help you

How does this work?

Hi jenny just write a list. Don't forget to add important things like: get up, have breakfast, mn etc. You may not have more than 3 completed lists a week and if you are caught cleaning your skirting boards you are banished to fly lady Enjoy

We are very nice here, and only slightly mad

Hello

Can I join this even if I work 5 days? My house is a tip and never feel on top of it!

Could post a list in the morning and update aat night? hopefully
