Weekly Flylady Thread 2nd February 2009

Valli

Gryfon - you clever thing!
Mo477 - well done DS and good news about DDs eczema
busy here - DD is still decluttering getting rid of umpteen bits of plastic/junk that littleys accumulate - I only asked her to do a small bit but she is really being ruthless. As she is in the little bedroom this is a good thing...anything decent will go to charity shop and I am beginning to panic about my bin as it won't be emptied until Thursday of NEXT week. Stuff which can be recycled (paper/card/tin) is being though. So well done Little Valli!
Got up and made batch 2 of marmalade, rehoming ironing and ironing the next batch while the peel simmered and made crumble to top the apples stewed in Nov that I froze and remembered to thaw overnight. Then made a full on sunday roast dinner (although I cheat and use bought yorkshire because my oven is not efficient enough abnd bought roast poatoes because I am lazy :rotfl:) I washed and dried it all and cleaned and bleached the sink THEN sat down with a coffee - about half an hour ago! :eek:

buster is a web cam, and it was a mission to identify who was (illegally)parking on soappies drive in the day. the squirrel thing is to do with mudbaths 'rather strange in the nicest possible way' mind. HTH

Close to mine then - DD's 7 and DS is 5. Is this your last one do you think or do you want as many as pigpen?

Oh i'd never say never.;) :rotfl:
However i did say after DS2 i would not be having anymore (hubby was very unwell at that time and was hospitalized(sp) a week later) but i just got broody and hubby alot better.

Now if i did have any more i'd be well and truely out numbered and i would have no where to put them unless we save and build another extension.;)

Is it snowing anywhere else or is it just here?

Snowing lightly here on and off all day, if it keeps up i'll not be down the lane tomorrow. Had problems getting back up after going to the shop.:eek:

Thanks hex... I think it's a good thing mudbath doesn't go out too often... she's safer here with people who understand her

soappie - clearly it was a legitimate business expense. After all, if someone was parking in your drive they might one day have blocked you in and then you wouldn't have been able to go to work... more to the point, did you find the culprit and if so what did you do with them?!

Turbo lister?

What is the difference between inventor and activity on turbo lister - I'm confused as my inventory is 76, actiry log is 85 and listing activity is 92 - it does not affect anything I'm just interested.

3 items now complete, going to do one more and then start on dinner - cheats chicken pie.

Yummy marmalade, i'm hoping to make some myself this week. Have ad on freecycle for some jars so fingers crossed. Have managed to make plum jam and gooseberry before but never tried marmalade before. What recipe did you use if you don't mind me asking as i was gonna try river cottage one.

Ahh happy memories Mudders of the webcam days.
