Weekly Flylady Thread 6th October 2008

**ducks from pigpen's mood** wow, what a day honey, if you lived closer I'd have had the tribe for you, infact, move, up here, then I can......well it's just an idea. Can they not help with creche/childcare costs (tell them about how many kids AFTER!) Oh and don't lay in the road, we don't need those types of speed bumps, people will get stuck going over your boobies :rotfl:

Well I ain't doing bad, making small dents in the housework hell, made myself empty the DW before I logged on. DS1s new uniforms arrived so more sets to use and less panic for me having to wash/dry so quickly. Soft play thing tonight so everything on hold 5.30pm til probably about 8.30pm, plus side of course is I don't have to cook So thinking what can I do in the time before we go, hmmmm, maybe I should do the kitchen as I won't have to spoil it. Do a half hour thingy 5.15-5.45pm should do it. I hope.

Oh and DP spent 5 hours cleaning his car, OCD? Of course! Then he's gone out and taken photos of it. If only he was as bothered about the house.

I'd go with ramming the broom up your tutor. With any luck it will get stuck and you won't be able to ram it in my direction for a while. How flipping annoying (I think that's about the only word I can use without being censored...I'm obviously thinking words a lot stronger!!!! I'd scream with you but it hurts if I move to much. Nothing broken but bruises on muscles I didn't know I had!

Big positive....i've got £240 to pay off the interest free credit card this month and dh has paid £400 off it so we're on target to get rid by Easter.

Off to get DD from badminton and make dinner. Can we have a tiny list tomorrow please. I've lost my umph! xx

So looks like it just LIL_ME and I then?
Im off, just picked up LR whilst waiting...it was SOOO easy.

Right, decision, DPs got his Mam to pay his credit cards off (well she is soon) and repay her interest free. These are his 'toy cards' what he's spent a fortune on and rightly so was told to keep her nose out of ME buying a caravan as he doesn't pay for it, and I don't pay for his extravagant spends, same as what he borrows from her is between them, I don't care!

Anyway decision is, do I chopper up his cards or keep one, without letting him know, as they were also there incase of emergencies aswell, or do I chop them all and just order a new one if we need something, I always try to have at least a few hundred in cash emergency pot I suppose and I can't see them taking long to send a new card.....what do you guys think?

Off for HHC, few minutes late, won't have chance to pop back until we get home...so good luck if you're joining me

Evening all!

Just off to the gym again in a minute after a nightmare of a day! Won't go into details cos everything went wrong, and I don't want to bore you all. Was supplying all day at a different school in 3 different classes and yeargroups today and will be there again tomorrow in different years again. Hope the journey and day is more successful tomorrow.

Have just had a couple of cups of tea cos I haven't had a chance to drink anything all day and have a bit of a headache and sore throat now, so will not be working too hard at the gym tonight.

Mozzy if you send me a pm about the microwave cake, I'll send you the recipe (it's for a chocolate cake), but I'm afraid I've run out of time to type it up now. The only thing with microwave cakes is you have to use them within 3 days as they go stale a lot more quickly than normal cakes, but they only take 10mins to cook.

Right, I'd best be off now or I'll be late. Got to change before I go, and pack clothes to change into afterwards.

Will get OH to do the flying tonight if I can - have copied the list into a word document so will tell him where it is.

Im still busy in the kitchen ( I really did do dishes over the week end! Where did these all come from) So Im going for another HHC 18H00 to 18H30 if anyone wants to join me? That should do it as I've done a little more than half the dishes and I started on the really big stuff first. Im also listening to the new absolute radio so I have some company too:)

Chop all but one, freeze the remaining one in a block of ice so that if there is a dire emergency you can get your hands on a card quickly. Just don't tell him you have frozen one

Cub run here, see you later gators

Chop em up lilme

I had the pleasure of doing this to DH earlier in the year after he'd had yet another very naughty spending spree. Made me feel goooooooooooood. And it had the desired affect;)
