Weekly Flylady Thread 10th November 2008

soappie

Flower_fly - you really confused me for a moment - Wheels? Huh? Then I realised you must have been talking about a vacuum cleaner! It's my washing machine that's struggling. DiL's just gone off to her parents so she's going to get her Dad to come over and look at it. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I'll take this load of dripping wet stuff to Nice neighbour next door and spin in at hers.

Oh Matthew update, you know that baby that was probably going to be behind, possibly brain damaged etc, well he's just had his HV check, he's now walking (was 1 last month) and is well above average for development so far. Stubborness is what's got him through I reckon because he does what he wants when he wants! Wouldn't have thought it after the hell he put his parents through this time last year. Thought I would have a brag and update you all anyway (For those who don't know my friends little boy, my honourary nephew, was fighting for his life following complications when he was born with his heart basically back to front last year, positive flylady vibes helped him through)

For some unknown reason I didn't notice this bit, apologies, as it is absolutly brilliant news and you have every right to brag - shouting from the rooftops would be a good option too!:T :T :T

I didn't know you all then, but know that the ladies on here at the time would have had loads of magic vibes to send his way - amazing stuff!

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Oh, sorry hun, I thought you mentioned dyson... brain is definitely not connecting today and I think aunt flo must be about to visit as I am like a bear with a sore head and [strike]shouting[/strike] SCREAMING at everyone - I even slammed a few doors today and stormed upstairs to do something - good for flying, not good for the walls...:o

i know there is prob another thread for this but i know a few of you have got littlies and was wondering what to buy DD (6 a week after chrimbo), i have got an MP3 player(£5), digital camera(£10), a couple of DVD's, bindeez pen, now i know this probably seems enough? but some of it usually gets sold to DSD for her to give and then the remainder is split into 2 and the 2nd half is for birthday, so what else?

What about some crafty things. If she is anything like Miss A she will love all that cutting and sticking stuff. Father Christmas quite often brings Miss A stickers, paper, pencils etc etc. Last year he brought her some of those craft scissors which she loved. It is a site with loads of ideas and raises money for good causes.

If anyone want's to buy from there and doesn't have a source code than PM me and I'll give you A & W's school code.

Update on 'MIssion Makeover Madness'-

We appear to be on schedule:D
One wall has been whited twice, the other once. And two walls have been pinked once.

So second coats to go on. Then I'm going to Bissell the carpet. Hopefully it should bring it up like new, usually does a good job. Leaves the carpets quite dry as well.

Fingers crossed once that's done we can do the glossing later this evening;)

Just going to have some lunch

Thanks. Personally I find I do better on the scratchards than on the lotto proper BUT I never buy more than 1 at a time, never buy the £5 ones and buy 1 or 2 on occasion a week. When I regularly did the lotto I was spending £6 a week ...2 x £3 so this is MUCH better.
Mind you I bought the lottery as well because I read my horoscope last sunday...:o

After I won £100 I didn't buy anything for months...figured I stood no chance!
