I forgot this very important message to all Flyladies (sorry, gents, it is gender specific)

Tampax have announced today that they will be replacing the cord on their tampons with a piece of tinsel.

This will be for the Christmas period only!

i like it:rotfl: :rotfl: :T :T :eek:

Triker - how's OH? Fingers crossed it all works out OK.

Have I forgotten someone? I know Emily's moving, is it tomorrow?

Mudbath - take care with that. Is DN coming tomorrow?

Anyone else not well, huge hugs.

Gryfon - you are doing great! You have a young baby, which makes weight loss difficult for most people. Don't worry too much about it until baby's older, just try not to put any more on. And as for the house not being sorted - I've seen your posts of what you have achieved, and without this thread, you might not have done that, so think of what you have done, not what you haven't done, and have a hug from me (whether you want it or not!)

OK, all you ironing freaks... what's the best method for dealing with kingsize duvet covers? It always ends up being a huge battle for me... I can never get the seams straight, and the middle never gets done properly either.

Triker - clearly I learnt how to list from the best

Thanks for the list Pigpen, i'm in.

I'm going to send Ds1 to bed soon then i'm going to attack the wrapping. I wanted to open the quality streets but OH said do you really want to put any more weight on you've been piling the pounds back on the last few weeks:mad::mad::mad: (cheeky sod like he's Brad Pitt:rolleyes:) so i weighed myself and i've put on 10lbs in the last month:eek::eek::eek:. I can't put much more on as i slung all the clothes that were too big so i couldn't do this:o oops. ( I did open them though just to spite him:rotfl:).

:xmastree: HI I would like to join please. I used to do a lot of flyladying and had a lovely clean housebut after having a very demanding baby nearly a year ago it has all gone to rack and ruin! We were intending on moving but due to a variety of factors we won't be for some time, so I need to make the house we're living in nicer!

I'm off work for a fortnight and have two older kids (14 and 10) who can help out so I'm intending to Flylady away the mess and clutter over then next week or two.

I've crossed off the ones that are done (wrapping and stockings) and the ones that don't apply (Christmas lunch is at my Mum's and no pets)

Then I also need to

• buy card for OH's dad and grandma
• put unused books in attic
• Go through children's photos and write down what size frames are needed

Gryfon
