Weekly Flylady Thread 29th December 2008

kazmeister

Hellooooo

Thank you pigpen for the list, altho OH is home most of this week so nothing gets done :rolleyes:

I havent been missing in action, Ive been AWOL, a slob over the last couple of days and have done nothing.

Today tho I have sorted the washing as there was more than 2 weeks worth (well something had to give while I did all the wrapping!) and then I have just spent goodness knows how long on here catching up so ..........................

Hawthorn, Dizabelle, jacci45, kazzaw, LOUBOB, beemuzed, QOTD, hellsbells45, Tabathakitten, sarahsarah, mrs mortenharket - welcome, hope you all stay with us, and dont worry about trying to keep up with the fred, it can become impossible. When I'm back to work I sometimes dont pop in for a couple of days and then juct come in and say hi and what I have or havent done.

sarahsarah - I have to say I love Gibraltar. I had my first ever holiday abroad there and everytime we fly into there or visit (parents had timeshare in Duquesa about 1/2 hour away) I feel like I'm going home (although I dont think the atmosphere is the same since they opened the border - yes I'm that old!)

Suzieq - welcome back

Toots and pigpen - thanks for the reminder about the blood test, am thinking tomorrow but keep NAGGING me

Greenbee - where abouts in north norfolk are your parents, cant be too far from me

mumoffour77 - iron mountains, I remember when pigpen posted a pic of hers some time back, I dont think anyone could beat hers !!!!!

toochoosey - we had a family Wii for Christmas and I got loads of bitsn pieces from Game online. they do a weekly special offer which is worth looking out for - I got Samba De Amigo + game maraccas for £14.99 and loads of other bits on very good offers.

GnB - hope you had a good christmas, nice to see you back

nicki - well done on your exam results

gryfon - hope you improve soon, you've had a rough time lately

serena - hope your back gets better soon

embb - with guitar hero, I got booed offstage, I cannot coordinate both hands at once :rotfl:

suzieq - the soft toys you could use as insulation in the attic, my 2 have about 6 bin bags full each stuffed up there

thats it for now as WM must have finished second load by now

see ya later

SarahShattered

Going to settle down with the girlies now, and watch Mamma Mia and scoff chocolate!!! :wave: see you all later.

Can I ask everyone a question - what do you do when the soft toys get WAY too much? The girls have a small toy box each in the lounge, and they were overflowing, so I've just decluttered them and realised that they have just masses of soft toys, and aren't overly fussed on them TBH. What's the best thing to do with them, if I keep them? Maybe I should give away the unnecessary stuff to the local church/childrens charity. Hmm.... I need to stop hoarding!

Could you put them in the loft ? I must admit I found great delight in some of my toys later in life! (I think there is a box/bag of mine in the loft here!). DS has a box in his room for such things although not sure he will want them (I think girls are more likely too!).

:rotfl: :T I'm not far from you, just over by the Eastern Rd, near a pub and a pond that go by the same name

Which is exactly where I grew up and my dad still lives!!!

pigpen

Kazmeister.. it is no good thinking tomorrow.. think today.. just make the call.. go on.. shoo.... Why put off until tomorrow what you can do today?!

mrsmortenharket

Thanks for all your sympathies re the SPD.

Have cleaned the oven shelves (they were soaking on bio washing powder in the bath!), hoovered the living room, put washing up to dry & booked midwife app't. Have also straightened my hair!

Am going to attepmt to make cottage pie with left over mince. Have never done this before so it could be a disaster!

Also need to make banana bread as the bananas have 'had it'.

Will do some ironing...honest...!!!!

Well you lot have been chatting loads - nearly 8 pages since I went out this morning!!!

Had a yummy hot chocolate and natter with my friend and then did a bit of shopping.

nikki - thanks for your card and weel done on the results!

gryfon - tell doc everything - you need to get something sorted

serena - hope your back improves

soappie - wow! I wish I could do things as quickly as you. Think my birthday must be around the same time as you but, as I procrastinate far too much, it's obviously not in the stars!!

emily - hope the move went well

I need to do some flying. And I did a quick count of iron mountain and reckon 3 or 4 HHI should clear it! That's if I don't do any more washing before New Year

HHC 3:30 - 4:00 anyone?

likklegibbon

:j my ironing basket is empty (and no, I didn't just hide the pile somewhere else )

All washing ironed and put away
I can see all the floor in the laundry room :j, and its clean :j:j

Going to get ready and go and take friends dawgie for a pounce.

Thats toots for noticing my weight loss - its been steadily coming off since April and I've not gone too overboard over Xmas, what with being at work and feeling grotty so I hope that the weigh-in tomorrow will be fairly pain-free (note - anyone one thinking of doing Slimming World, they will becoming out with a new plan, as well as the old ones, from this week and I think WW are doing something new too!)

Have you found worksurfaces yet piggers?

Hope the move went well emily and that you're settling in well in your new home

Time to find some warm clothes - I'm perished

Laters girlies (and Oddjob)

I have a few bits of work surface.. and a small bit of floor in the front room.. DD1 has been set on that task now.. lol.. she hates me..

DW on
2 binbags of rubbish gone
shopping away
cat food cupboard reshuffled
loo rolls away
bins emptied

Tiddles got a sling from father christmas.. She has gone to visit hubbys gran with him wearing it with 2 eeyores shoved in.. leaving her hands free to be held crossing roads and she won't drop them.. fab idea Santa.. !! I'll have to fling up a pic when she gets in!

Hubby supposed to be going to buy a fish house and a couple of fishy friends for John (the goldfish!) he is having a great time in his new bigger tank but looks very naked and very lonely! Wonder if he will think to get a plant or two for him as well.. maybe I should ring him..

DW should be ready to unload now so... HHC 3:30-4pm???

Come on I can't do this on my own!
