Weekly Flylady Thread 6th October 2008

Jneff ~ thanks for telling me about stardrops, amazing how you can get to forty-seven and not have heard of this wonder product.

Michelle ~I hope tomorrow is a better day for you

Even though I have only been in this thread for a few days, I feel more hopeful about keeping on top of the house, which was beginning to get on top of me ......now all I have to do is not bask in this small amount of glory and convince myself that a squeakend list is indeed a beautiful thing....................................

Hello everyone - I've spent ages catching up with you all I've done very little flying this week - work has been good but I've been really tired in the evenings - so I'll have to sort the house over the weekend :eek:

Sarahshattered - Happy Birthday - hope you're having a great day

Beccah and Emily - welcome to the madhouse
Pigpen - glad you've got your applications sorted :T

We had our Harvest Festival at school yesterday and I have to tell you about one of the boys in my class - he has autism and is obsessed with recipe books and books about food, but is a fussy eater and has ketchup with almost everything!! Anyway, during the Harvest, he turned round to me and said 'ketchup'. I said 'what do you mean, ketchup?'. His reply was - 'ketchup; sauce; tomato sauce; tomato sauce and sweetcorn makes baked beans!! Can't wait for his next recipe idea :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Btw, loving all the peg talk - very reassuring
Right, I'm off to find my (very, very, very long!) list for the weekend :eek:

Forensic science with criminology... what do YOU think??.. lmao...

Pigpen you'd learn how to murder and hide the evidence sounds perfect. I prefer beimg neighbourless aswell, more so for their sake with DS1 being up at all hours.

froddington if you didn't live in hampshire I'd have swore you were teaching my ds1! he's got a thing about recipe books at the mo but very fussy and likes sauce lol

Nights dragging a bit with no studying to do, boys still wide awake, might read a junky magazine for a while. Hard to switch off when you're not used to it.
