Weekly Flylady Thread 11th August 2008

serena

:hello:Hi flyladies! I'm back from holiday. We had a lovely time in France, especially the Loire valley the first week, fabulous weather, and lots of gorgeous places to visit. The second week we were near to Rouen in Normandy, which wasn't quite such a nice area, although the gite was in a pretty village. Celebrated DS1's 18th birthday while we were there, although he has to have another 'official' birthday at home, as it wasn't possible to take many presents with us! The plaster comes off his arm tomorrow - hurray - he's getting fed up with it. He did manage to go canoeing, with it wrapped up in a carrier bag, but struggled to do it properly - he kept going round in circles!

I shall be in this week, as long as I can fit flying in between the washing marathon - how can five people use so many clothes, bedclothes and towels in two weeks?:eek: I even washed stuff while we were there!

Hi to all the newbies!

I haven't had time to catch up on the threads I missed - nearly 300 emails as well...so, hugs, flowers and glasses of good red Bordeaux as appropriate!

I plan too I love TJs ( http://www.tjhughes.co.uk/ ) :D

Oh and the clothes I bought yesterday, when I was taking the labels off today so I could wash them I couldn't believe the RRPs.

• Skirt RRP £20, I paid £5 Saving £15
• Jacket RRP £30, I paid £7 Saving £23
• Top for me RRP £24, I paid £3 Saving £21
• Top for DD RRP £5.00, I paid £2.25 Saving £2.75
• Dressing gown for DD RRP £12, I paid £3 Saving £9
• Shoes (From New Look) RRP £25, I paid £5 Saving £20
  

So todays buys :

• Curtains RRP £69.99, I paid £12 Saving £57.99
• Food Processor selling for £32.95 P&P@£10, I paid £25 Saving £17.95

So that means I've saved £166.96 this weekend :eek: and spent £62.25 :money::money::j:j (thats excluding DD's jumper/cardi & slipper socks, and the set of bracelets I bought) I just told DD and she said "Mummy you are AMAZINGLY clever " :rotfl::rotfl:
