BTW next door neightbours have invited me to their party tonight ...note to self - get a bucket ready and have Stardrops on standby!

Is it a wipe your feet on the way out house or something?

And please stop quoting me if I have done a misspell, meanie! You could have at least corrected it for me

Kids are asking for icecream/lollies, are mine the only kids who want it when it is really cold?

I haven't.. I had to ask hubby if he would lend me it.. and it was about 5000000 of his work shirts!

I also.. did a loaf (that takes 3 hours and it ended as I finished ironing.. hence I know how long I was at it!) 6 loads of washing and drying and other than picking up a few bits if !!!!! none of the ungrateful pieces of snot did a thing!

Oh.. hubby was forced to put the spare fridge in the shed and the 2nd TD on the worksurface in the kitchen.. and he took 3 binbags of junk to charity shop.

I put the fruit in to soak for the chiristmas cakes as well so that is my jobbio for tomorrow.

Did I have a weekend list or did I just pretend I was going to do nowt?!

:rolleyes: not the answer I was hoping for, you meanie! I have no idea what's in mine, I haven't kept any count at all :eek: but I know how much was in the last one I filled.....I've been dying to open it since July....

Dusty, well done, you enjoy the rest of your evening!

Valli, that's always been one of my rules when I was running the thread, I think it's one of pigpens too, focus on what you hae achieved, nothing else! Hard to do it sometimes tho

Well I think I would be saying the same as Kaz - leave it lil_me unless you really really really need the money - No I didnt think so - I only started mine on the 15/7 and I am determined not to open it until 1/12 so I think you need to help me by not opening yours - or I might get tempted too!!!!

Nice to hear you a bit brighter and that was a good idea re the cushions - pity he had to go and spoil a good day????!!!!!
The posh lunch sounds just the thing for you this week - get your glad rags on girl - do it in style and enjoy evry minute!!!!

vanilla - congratulations on stopping smoking - well done - you should be pleased with yourself. why dont you put the number of days in your signature so that it is right there in front of you and we can see how well you are doing to? I am going to do that with my sweets/choc challenge - if i eat sweets then it will go back to 0 and i will start agin.

Aargh!! My settee is massive - and we did measure - but it's filled my LR!!

Ooops!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:
sorry julie but it did make me laugh - and as AnW's mum said it will be less room for getting messy!!!! hope you like it now that you have had a chance to get over the shock of its size!!!

Congratulations Liuhut, what a lovely prize!!!

poohbear - so sorry to hear about DS2 - I hope the trip helps him and I'm sure he will really enjoy his tidy room - these things get on top of you and just make everything seem worse. And Dh too, good to hear he is feeling better - have you looked into bi-polar? take care of yourself too, it sounds like you have your hands full.

huge squishy hugs for all the flyers and families with illness.

Nicki - I hope you enjoyed spending time with your neice and from one flylady to another thanks for helping out a fellow flyer in need.

Toots - hi - how is the bedroom coming along?

? cleaning duvets have any of you washed at the laundrette feather duvets before? I've never been to a luandrette - I sound like a princess - how much does it cost? what do I do? do I take my own powder? Please help

Oooooooooh I didnt know they were related????????????? still was a lovely thing to do!!!

bedroom - dont ask!!!!!!

Duvets - I just take mine to the launderette and ask for a service wash -you just leave it and they tell you when it will be ready - my knig size costs me £10 - or you could do it yourself but i couldnt be 'rsed sitting about waiting - it would probably work out cheaper - you can take your own powder if you like and they usually have the change thats need for the machines - they have bigger machines for the duvets so sometimes they are not always free so thats why i just leave it and they do it for me. HTH
