Weekly Flylady Thread 2nd December 2012

I'm in! I did manage to declutter 2 bags to a charity collection this morning! So my hall looks great - pity about the rest of the place!

Wow - well that went tats up!

After lunch I decided it would be good for the children to get some fresh air with a dog walk. After about 40 minutes, the dog decided it was time to go pheasant chasing on private land and once he's on a scent, there is no way on this Earth he will respond to my ensuing cries. After about another half an hour it resulted in me sending the kids back home with strict instructions that should I not be back home by 3.30, they were to get Dad and bring whistles and torches.
When said dog did finally reappear with a 2ft tongue, he plonked himself down in the muddiest puddle and started to drink the bl@@dy lot. I reckon he's ran about 10 miles. Only just got back in so it's a good job I haven't had school runs today or I would have been well and truly told off by [STRIKE]Hitler[/STRIKE] Headmistress!

On the way back home, I saw the landowner and another gentleman going off in their 4x4 in the direction I had come from. I did wonder if someone has rang him to say there must be a dog after the pheasants as there were about 100 of them in the air all squawking :whistle:

On the plus side, I did spot some fallen down branches which would be great for our fire, so I'm going back out to see if I can hoy them over the fence and put them in the back of the van :T:

TMD x

As much as I can manage has been done; all the surfaces in the kitchen wiped with anti-bacterial (still following my own schedule);) and I've done the fridge as best I can.

Mr LW did the oven and hob over last night.:A

Large amount of hankies washed; and a top that had to be washed by hand has been done and is currently dripping into the bath as I can't wring it out for tuppence.:cool:

TMD it's amazing how dogs can suddenly develop cloth ears, isn't it?:cool: Tell him Auntie Wolfy says he's a bad boy!:D

Although the range of activities I can manage is getting smaller and smaller, I've managed HHWiiFit (nearly killed myself in the process):eek: I'm deeply upset that I've had to completely abandon the yoga programme I'd sorted out for myself, as I just do not have the range of movement needed.

Going to do my Brain Training next.;)

And in hospital with severe morning sickness apparently... she has my sympathies..

bonnie - we have mother/daughter rants too.....

DD2 applied to the school where I work to be an MSA - there were 3 applicants for 2 jobs - the third applicant would be asked to do 'supply' for us.

DD2 is amply qualified, has a valid paediatric first aid certificate and has been working with schoolage children for a year now. But she is only 18 - and this was her primary school 8 years ago.

DD2 got the supply job. Cue raised eyebrows. One position has gone to the old 'supplier' - that's fair. I am looking forward to meeting the person better qualified than DD2 - she will have to be awesome!

DD2 was interviewed by the school admin person - her feedback was that she was the only person to answer all the questions and she talked really well about her experience - she interviewed really well. Apparently admin person didn't make the decision....
