Weekly Flylady Thread 10th December 2012

Morning all

Not a great start, 2 new radiators not working at all again. BHS have finally dispatched my order but with 4 of the 5 items missing - not happy it was the coat to try on DS2.

Still something very nice is happening this morning and I've got DS3's school play later.

Time to feed mogs and make packed lunch, WM on

Early start today with DH hunting for his Christmas tie at 6.05. It's his Christmas party today. DD1 had hers last night and is fast asleep. Judging by the noise at 2.30am I think she will be suffering with a sore head when she awakes.

Did HHI before DD2 came down for her breakfast. DS2 came in half frozen from his paper round. DS3 came down 10 minutes later with a raspy voice and sore throat. I've dosed him with parrots and will do his ibupr0fren in the school car park. I have permission to park there now :-)

I have a good morning ahead of me and DD2's school play this afternoon. I will do the remainder of the ironing tonight.

Dancemum you have my sympathies for your hurt hip. Pain healing vibes to you.

Good morning! Kitchen tidied, casserole prepared, and I'm washed and ready for work. Late start for me (might as well use by flexi time rather than lose it ) and then a trip to the Big City to give my final presentation

Where's the lovely Lamewolf? I was inspired by her mention of a Sherpherd Spy a couple of weeks ago and set about making one yesterday. I couldn't find the lamb mince in the freezer and we hadn't got any stock cubes or Wouster sauce, but I did find a pack of quorn mince, soy sauce and some bovril. I have to say it tasted amazing and was stuffed full of veggies. Defo do that again and I've got two in the freezer for when I can't be ar*ed to cook.

Got tree and the decs down last night from the attic as that's where we keep the loo paper and the need was urgent. We've discovered a section of the felting is dripping with condensation. Not entirely sure how to deal with that, but I know it's not good.
