Weekly Flylady Thread 25th August 2008

soappie

Evening ladies (and also goodnight - I need to fall into bed v. soon).

Have caught up with the thread as best as I can.

All my good intentions for this evening fell by the wayside. It was non-stop phone calls and emails from when I first got home from work this evening until about an hour ago. I did, however, manage to make some home made chicken soup for dinner and put some bread in the BM but I failed spectacularly on the bedroom flying stuff....

I had a reasonable day at work in between computers falling over etc. (same old, same old....) I managed to find some shoes to match my ball dress at lunch time ( I also bought two more pairs of shoes, two linen jackets in the sales, a little glitzy hair clip for the ball on Saturday and a snazzy handbag large enough to take my camera equipment with me on Thurs/Fri )

I'm quite looking forward to my junketing at the end of the week. I'm involved behind the scenes in various ways, of the Bournemouth Air Festival . Two of those days will be spent in prime position in the VIP tent on the beach and the third will be spent rattling buckets for charity in town followed by the ball on the Saturday night.

Trouble is there's all that last minute snagging to do - hence the phone calls and emails this evening.

But, we WILL get there, it WILL go smoothly and I WILL have time to do some flying eventually.

And I WILL go to my bed right now... .I need sleep

Err - I'm feeling really thick ATM (and you all know I'm not, really;) ) :think: is this a water tank or reptiles? Because I now know, having scrolled on a bit that this, somehow is to do with your leak!

But mine was a very good one.:p Until pigpen caught me and stopped it.:rolleyes:

Tag - I'm not disputing the brilliance of your run - but I promised not to do it - I think this really isn't the place for my impish behaviour!;)

Nikki I have been told - by students who rent and who lose deposits like nobody's business - that landlords cannot withold deposits if the place isn't clean - only for damage. Although I am dead certain you will leave the place in immaculate condition it might well be worth checking (CAB perhaps) if this is the case - then you know a deposit cannot be retained for this reason.

Polkadot :grouphug: how sad for you - be strong and hope you get your meds sorted.

Pigpen did you (and Tiddles) enjoy the kitty crunch? - ooh sorry Tiddles isn't a cat, is she:whistle:
