Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd August 2009

Sunnygirl_2

What a useful little girl I have....DD1 has seen today's list and came into me and said 'it says strip the bed for today so its a good thing I wet the bed 'cos then you can change it and get a star...otherwise you wouldn't get one!'. :rotfl:

(besides the point that its been changed 3 times already this week and DD2's has been changed twice already!)

Have done:
3 x WM
1 x DW
binbag dance in our bedroom
cleared landing
stripped girls beds

Off to sort tea....gourmet meal of potato waffle, fried egg and beans tonight.

ETA: Sorry to hear its a scam Rose...well spotted Johanne.

Johanne you are right, it is a scam. He's asked us to wire the deposit and first months rent to someone we trust and to send him the receipt as proof that we have the money, which is exactly what the article said would happen. I was expecting to be a con but am a bit disappointed it turned out to be one. Ah well, such is life.

DH says we should report him to watchdog - any other ideas of who to report him to? Got any suggestions anyone?

Oh noooo! I'm so sorry that it was a scam. :mad: At least you didn't fall for it.
And well done Johanne for being on the ball :T

Well done Johanne, and thank you so much! I've emailed Watchdog about it.

There is a place to bid on on the Homechoice thing, so will do that if I can find the letter with my number. I've sorted through two huge piles of paperwork this afternoon looking for it. My shredding pile has grown quite a bit!

Am annoyed because a cloth bag I'd stuffed some papers into and was keeping under the bed has gone mouldy. I really like the bag, it's a good one for shopping. Would washing it sort the mould out do you think, or is it completely ruined?

DH is cooking Coq au Vin and it smells lovely! He made me laugh earlier - I showed him the place in this village that we could bid on and he said: "the trouble is that's in the most populated part of the village." I said: "well they are all going to be on the council estate!" and he was really shocked! Where did he think they would be? Bless him!

Johanne you deserve a big hug for that well done honey xxxx

Rose report him to the police and gumtree get the advert stopped. Good luck honey and when something seems too good to be true thats because it usually is. Harsh but true xx Or am i just a cynic??

rosepink quillion is spot on, report him to the police. Have you told hime where to go yet? They may get you to set him up so they can catch him (vivid imagination, me) hugs though, the right place will come up.

DS1 is just making some cheese bread from a recipe from the spongebob comic. But DH seems to be taking over and it's turning into a bit of a drama. :rolleyes:

Oh, Rosepink I am so sorry, but so glad you had Johanne's warning.
