Weekly Flylady Thread 9th September 2013

Thanks for the supportive comments regarding Chapter 1 (note, this is not Chapter 9, 10, 11 or 12 that I originally said I was doing). On reflection I may be able to cobble them together, after all and it might just be what was needed. One's rather vibrant, the other is rather plodding, so together, they may be just the thing. We'll see. They're both about exactly the same event, but different approaches to describing it.

Another bit on my mother's old dy$0n is completely k*ackered, and this morning it also started cutting in and out while I was using it, so I thought it was time for it to go. Turns out what used to be Regenerate is now Recycling Plymouth and they will repair it for us. OH wants to keep it - he's now calling it Trigger's Dy$0n - pretty much everything has now been replaced but it is still 'my mother's' according to him.

I've got to decant the entire airing cupboard contents into suitcases to shove under a bed for a few months while a repair takes place. Some of the suitcases from the attic contain stuff we'd forgotten about so OH is waxing lyrical about his parents Christmas tree lights from his childhood, so they're at least 6* years old and I have had to be extremely stern with him about chucking all of them out - he's allowed to keep the boxes. (Took a couple of suitcases down to the CS and came back with a pair of black boots and a pair of sandals. Doh!)

Toots was before my time, but my condolences to everyone touched by her passing.

Thanks Bonnie B:A
I have fetched the kids and walked back with my child minder. My DD asked if she could go home with her, sob So not only I am not earning, my DD would rather go and play at the childminders!!!
I am currently cooking a minced beef/tomato/courgette/mushroom/onion concoction! It tastes good! Wonder if the kids will turn their noses up- DH never a problem, he will eat anything!:D

Hi Everyone

Long time no see.

I wish I could say I am reoprting in that the house is sorted and we no longer live in CHAOS but alas I can not lie. BUT the ROD was sorted and only needs a HHC to keep it in order.

I am very sorry to have to let you know that Toots passed away yesterday she will be missed by a lot of people.

Thank you for letting us know... the world will be a much poorer place for having lost her but we are all a little richer for having her in our lives.

R.I.P Toots my lovely.. you will be very much missed xx

Many hugs to you and your 2 very beautiful not-so-littlies.. I know you were all very close to her heart and you must be very sad xx I hope you are all doing ok xx
