Weekly Flylady Thread 15th September 2008

johanne

Just spent an hour switching our BB from virgin over to BT, had nothing but problems and BT were offering 3x faster speed on our line for £2.01 a month LESS !! AND.... that included a free "home hub" so i can get wireless internet on my laptop finally! WAHOOOOO!! :j :j :j

We decided to get BT vision too for the setanta sports deal... so ordered that. Which also included the film and kids package. Works out at £144 a year more expensive in the long run for the both but in the first year it was only £108.76 extra for whole year and i went through quidco so hoping to get £100 cashback!!! But as martin says I cant count on that incase it doesnt track! :rolleyes:

BUT Its worth the £12 a month just so i have the wireless net and the ability to watch the Liverpool matches at home!!Currently I have to go to my mums house with the baby cos my dad has setanta whilst OH gets to go the pub - nice eh!!! :rolleyes: So might save us money in the long run as he pays for 3/4 pints in the pub, then will guarnteed play on the fruit machine with least a fiver.... and then if he meets his mates ....the pub they go to is a £1.50 bus ride there and £10 cab home for OH cos they live so far away + the cost of rounds at the bar!! :shocked:

So that £12 a month could be very MSE!:money:

Anyway......................... Flylady list still to do for the week now looks like this:

Afternoon ladies

Fracture clinic was packed but we got seen in about 3o minutes. DS is replastered and we can take the plaster off ourselves in 3 weeks so no more appointments.

Beany - I'm glad your DH has his cast off. I hope you get some rest later after yesterday. Re the potty training, they often change their time of day once you start training just like kids often change their time once they start school.

Going to do my list now and try to get on for the next 2 hours until school pick up.

Decided while I was in the mood to set myself another challenge and try to get the kitchen done in 30 mins - took me 50! so not too bad, so now I have done:

DD has had her jabs and both kids are asleep. Am going to have lunch and watch something on the skyplus, Will try and do some more flying before DS wakes up. Really need to go to post office but it is bucketing down. Will give it til 4 o clock and then will just have to get wet!

Johanne - We are paying for the Setanta sports through sky (we have full package which costs a bomb but as we hardly go out I justify it:o ). DH cancelled his blackburn season ticket this season and this was the compromise. Like you said it stops the money in the pub too.

Dusty - Glad fracture clinic went well for your DS and he won't be in plaster for too long. DH has to go for physio now and no sports for 8 weeks. He says he has forgotten how to walk:rotfl:

Right....food

just gone to quidco and £80 has tracked already!!! :T :T :T granted its not the £100 that its supposed to be....but £80 is still great as that makes it only £28ish more for 1st year than we were paying anyway and that includes the £10 for the setanta card! so woop!! (will keep eye though see if it increases to £100 when validated )

Feel really mean now - just gave small blacl blob his stronghold - he probably won't speak to me for days now, but I noticed flea pooh when he was sitting on the white tiled windowsill so it had to be done. He's now frantically washing himself outside.

liuhut

Just had a look what everyone has done...loads!! I'm feeling really bad, sat on the settee with a bad cold!
Have done a few bits today
Done the pots
Put a load of washing on
Rang the Tax office to see if I'm entitled to a refund
Got a birthday present for Sat party
Packed away the Mr T delivery...

Now I've read it back I think I've done quite well!!!
