starting tomorrow ...accelerated flying for month of August only ....

[Countingthegreyhairs]

Bit of a long-shot but does anyone want to join me for a mutual kick-up-the-bum motivational thread starting tomorrow 1st August?

[then we could join (or re-join for about third time in my case ) main Flying or slatterns thread thereafter ....]

My house is a tip and I want to get it straight again before schools starts on 1st September ...

added to that I have visitors coming to stay at the end of the month too ...

both of these factors are making me feel stressed and the whole house is getting on top of me. Need to declutter, organise, tidy and clean.

Heeellllp, pleaasssee, someone .....

Yep, read the other thread first.

I think its a good idea to add the daily if that is possible as some seem really keen and far better than I was at the end of the first month.
It took me two months to get my head around it all and arse in gear . Or maybe I am a slovenly slow learner?? I am now feeling that I need a little more to keep going, although have still ignored any of the babysteps that either annoy me, or I find of no use at all!

I will step in if you need me to at any time.

I'm glad you are having a lovely weekend. I've had a lovely day too and am off out tonight, so all good here!
Thanks for asking about DD3. She is struggling, but I think only time will tell how things are really going. She will either start to cope better, or she will go downhill healthwise. Frustrating to sit back and have to watch and see what is going to happen.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Lovely weather here, too, today. I hope it lasts for tomorrow too.

Hi just flying past and sending you a wave

Dead chuffed actually about this months acheivements. Yes I have even sorted out a diary - given up to old age! No way could you be much older than me, I do have an 18 year old!!!! - had her when I was 11 really!!

DH is thrilled with the new me. I have actually stopped noticing how good everything looks, just like I used to not notice how bad things were! But I do notice if anything is out of place!
The diet has had a good start too. So far lost over half a stone, only another load of stones to go!

Thank you once again for everything and I hope you are well. Here we go for month 3!! Whooppeeeeee!

Crikey PA!!! That's brilliant!!!! And the weight loss too!! You kept that very quiet - that is a FANTASTIC achievement!!!

(And belatedly replying to your earlier post - sorry - if you are a slovenly slow learner - that makes me worse than comatose !!!)

I'm going to try and "rein myself in" eating
wise in October and start power-walking regularly again. Have started three times and stopped. Want to keep going. Hopefully Flying will help with that.

Your nickname really really suits you and I hope you know how much motivation and encouragement you provide to me and everyone else on the Fledgling thread. So a huge thank you from over here!!!

Just a quiet little hi to you.

So many people getting excited about cleaning! Its great!
How are things going with you? Hope all is calm and getting lots of time to put feet up fly!

Hows the power walking? The only power walking I do is when I am late! Which happens quite a lot!!! [hmm,] I seem to have persuaded DH that a Wii fit may be a good Christmas present, very excited! I have to contain my excitement as we want to surprise the Dcs. Diet been rubbish this week as I have been out 3 times to eat! Start again today!

Have a good weekend.

Certainly is busy on other thread!! I can't keep up!!!

All going well on home and work front thanks PA despite being quite busy. Not so well on the diet and exercise front however haven't done one power walk yet and haven't even defined my objectives for diet and weight-loss (although know I need to lose 10kg approx). Have tried and failed three times before. There's just been too much going on!!

I'm hoping flying will help with all this as it will help me save time/be more organised ...

Just about to settle down and do a bit more work on meal planning and schedules this afternoon in fact, once I have caught up with my ordinary work (ifswim).

Hows's the new regime going for you???

Hey, I don't want to lose touch with you over on the busy thread. If you fancy keeping in touch here's my email address, which may make things a little easier than keeping this thread going. My "filter" address is directioneeded (one N only in the middle) at aol dot com. I will then email you back from my proper address, but I don't like putting that one on here!

Hope you are doing well. You are so good at running the thread and keeping track of everyone. I get lost!
Hope the family is ok.

Thank you PA. Sorry spent so much time on other thread - no time to reply properly - but just wanted to say THANKS for e-mail and will be back tomorrow x

OK PA - am going to try and send you a message!!

Nothing has arrived!! Have you sent it yet?

just checked

they have both been bounced back (I sent two)

have re-checked your address and I'm fairly sure I've written it down correctly but will check again

have tried again

Received and sent back from "proper" email address.
Let me know if it doesn't arrive.

Have just checked and it hasn't yet but will get back to you later

Sending again. Sorry my fault!! Having a thick moment! Blame it on too much cleaning!

OK - going back to look now - sorry to have taken so long!!
