Weekly Flylady Thread 17th November 2008

Valli

Gryfon - flipping heck! you kicked hard!
Knock on door at 7.15 so I got out of the bath (eventually) went to the window and saw postie there - with 2 parcels - identical - should only be 1.
He waited for me and I had to open the door in my towel to take them both off him...
now I have to recheck my order but I am certain I only put 1 order in for the DVD box set and they have only taken 1 payment.

I suppose I will have to e mail them to find out what to do with the unwanted one once I have established I am not being charged...

Off to read the thread now to catch up...

pigpen well done! Does sound like her daughter gets it from her gobby mother doesn't it. Did she not consider !!!!!! must my daughter have done to provoke him? You're right with the EP, what would it achieve? Are they trying to get him an F band statement for one incident (or whatever F/EBD band is where you are) because I doubt that would happen. EPs have so overstretched as it is, surely there would be better uses of their time.

If anyone needs an extra on their chrimbobingo let me know, not on a card yet......

While DS2 got ready for Beavers (ok while he faffed on moaning about wanting to not go as they were going to somewhere different and he was anxious) I have cleared the hallway out, well a lot of it anyway, a box and 2 car cleaning packs (autoglym ones for pressies) to take upstairs, shoe box to sort through and needs a vacuum, but loads safer than it was. DPs now gone to his club so taking DS1 now with me to collect him, traffic was a nightmare so best allow enough time, ttfn (again)

Rach - hope DH's exam went well and he's not too stressed out this evening.
Pigpen - nice pic of the birthday girl - and well done you on being so cool headed with the bully's parent
Lil-me - well done on your win!
Johanne - good news about the Avon stuff - well done you

I am mentally pooped. My brain is full and I don't want to think anymore this evening. Work is proving v. interesting. Part of my brief is to align the existing process with that at the site I worked at before. Trouble is, the more I uncover the existing process, the more I realise there isn't one! I've started a recommendations report but I'm having to be v. careful and gentle in it - I don't want to p*ss the people that have been working that way off too much.

The route I took to work this morning - I'm not going to take again - took me 15 minutes longer - 1 hour and 10 minutes! Found a sneaky part route back this evening which has shaved a few minutes off yesterday's return journey (and I left the office 10 minutes later than I did yesterday). I will find the optimum time efficient route eventually.

I'm seriously hoping Dorset Police (I think I was in Dorset at the time!) subscribe to ACPO's 10% plus 2 over the speed limit for enforcement purposes. On this new sneaky part route back, I'd just come into a 30mph zone and had slowed right down but, as it was downhill, I crept up to 32mph before I realised and started to brake again. It was a couple of seconds after that that I noticed two blokes in high viz jackets with a mobile camera on the verge. The camera may have been facing towards me so I don't think it was a flashy one. If it was, it didn't flash..... The two blokes were scribbling on clipboards so maybe it was trials? But hey, if I am done, it's my own fault and I have no-one to blame but myself.

Right, I'm going to get myself on the outside of a large glass of wine, magically make one chicken breast expand by throwing lots of veg in with it into a hearty stir fry for myself and DS then flop in front of the TV for the evening then have an early night.

Sometimes, this flylady finds her wings just don't want to flap...

Oh no! DH wants to borrow my lappy coz DS is doing stuff on home PC. Good job I've got to go and collect DD from Newport Station.

I've cancelled tonight's A & P coz I am so tired. I thought I'd be feeling a bit better by now.

Later :hello:

Just checked ...Had forgotten all about that! But, it was 2 months, 2 weeks ago! Put it down to my brain being full and a touch of alzheimer's creeping in ....
