hollyh that is so sad....what a way to go.
funfairprincess..I can't imagaine how angry you must be.
greenbee, hope you get rid of all those useful things. I love freecycle.

I still haven't done any flying this week. Hopefully my guys willl all be in Hyde Park for Blur. I hate it when they drive long journeys. DN left with them this morning too.

I have been really under the weather with really bad stomach problems. I won't go into detail, hence the lack of flying. The bathrooms are clean though as I have spent a lot of time in them. Most of the last two days!!

I did go to weigh in and have lost 4lbs but I think that is classed as cheating.

greenbee

FFP... I'm not surprised you're furious... what have you done with DS1?!

Poohbear - hope you feel better soon. Make sure you drink plenty of water

Freecycle - I've got a dilemma... I posted a long list of random stuff - do I give it to the person who is immediately offering to take the whole lot off my hands asap (which is what I want) or do I wait to see whether other people want bits? I'm just confused as to why someone would want ALL this stuff, as it includes odd glasses, swimming goggles, plant pots etc, and I don't want them to be throwing stuff away as that defeats the object of the exercise... any thoughts? I'm not going to reply straight away, as it's too hot to start packing everything up!

Valli

because they can be bothered to do a car boot?

If it were ME I wouldn't because I think it's against the spirit of Freecycle UNLESS I wanted rid ASAP in which case I would. Lot less hassle for you if you insist that if they DO come for the lot the lot is taken and they don't cherry pick.

My sis has given me her old house phone (set of 4) I have fixed it up, found the manual on the net (because of course it didn't come with the instructions) and can see a lot of fun coming when I start calling the kids in their bedrooms to tell them to get up ... but I will no longer have the hassle of trying to find the phone DS has put down and not back on the base. Anybody would think I lived in a mansion LOL
(I do count setting up phones as flying.)

Kitchen and Bathroom and Living room done if anyone fancies flinging a star or two my way....

Triker

SPOKE TO GARAGE WHO SAID THEY CANNOT GET MY CAR TO OVERHEAT oooops sorry for caps.....

Going to collect it and head to the office, bet it overheats when I'm miles from anywhere.:eek:

rach

had my final flying session of today. now I need to get showered and dressed as i have a doctors appt at 4.12pm. (very precise at my docs!)

am quite pleased as I just need to sort a cupboard and remake the bed (when dh gets home so he can help re turn the mattress) and I'll have 5 stars. It's not my most thorough job ever but it's all done! Might treat myself to a frappuchhino (sp) as a reward (or a magnum, yum)

OK this is a great idea and now that I have just moved I should start as I mean to go on! I have so much stuff I don't need so loving the declutter ideas! I've requested to join the fb page but it didn't let me put my MSE use name in, although I'm sure you can work out which one is me! Thanks for the inspiration / strict rules

I still have done nothing......far too hot

kdean

Well I went on the fb page to have a look and got caught on the chat thingy by an old friend so have not done very much, luckily they are a slow typer and I did some sofa scrubbing between posts, lol. Not done any bedroom or landing stuff yet but just about to go up and strip the bed and get it in the wm (bedding not bed) but DS is home now so will have to play referee when they start arguing over the toys which I anticipate to start very shortly!

Poorbutrich how did you get on at glasto.....what was your highlight? mine were The Prodigy.....amazing!

HI Lady Liberty ! :T
SO MUCH FUN!!!!! (and so little sleep!)! Did you have a good time? I wanted to see the Prodigy, but like everyone else on site couldn't decide between them and Blur, but went for Blur in the end (saw them in 1998 as well!!)

What else did you see? Cleaning and airing my tent is the only fly-ladying I have done this week!!

And now the weekend is a bit of a blur.....:D
