Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd August 2009

I havent tried the Lush stufff, no, but it sounds good!

I feel slightly better today but i got a decent nights sleep last night so that helps.

I havent been taking much of a break from the job hunting-red tape sagas, but its my friends hen night tomorrow (the one where i have to go dressed as a bumble bee!) so Im going to go to that.

I made my tutu but im far too fat to wear it at the minute, so have opted for a black skirt and halterneck top, and I have black and yellow stripy 'arms' (they are like long gloves, but without the glove part. ) And i have wings and deely boppers! (all of which i bought before i knew I wasnt getting paid obviously....)

We are going to her house during the day and making cocktails and playing games, and then going out for food (which is an all you can eat place for £15!)

After that, they want to go in town and go clubbing, which Im not going to do - itds just too expensive in Cardiff!

But it will get me out of the house and away from applications......

Morning all

Fedup big hugs sweetie for you and your dogx

Fluffy cat's face was worse last night so plan is to take him to the vet today but can I find him? Not a good sign as he likes his food big time.

Also taking DS2&3 to the Roman baths up the road which we have never been to. DS3 is doing the Romans next term so now seems a good time to go.

Kids can strip there beds next I think. It is still cloudy here but thankfully it has stopped raining.

Sorry for having a moan - will try to fly again tomorrow xx

Hugs hun, i bet he hasn't got as many friends as you have xx

Need a new handle for my pressure cooker which shattered on me earlier.
Need a new heating element for my TD as that's died.. it is under warranty but as always I can't find the paperwork!

.

I have a hotpoint tumble dryer and could not find the paperwork last week when my stopped working, i phoned them uo saying i know its not a year old and was bought after October as it was dark nights :rotfl:gave them the serial number and they told me i purchased on 7th November.

I did no flying yesterday other than doing 4 loads of washing and getting it dried. The weather was far too nice to stay in again so i got the kids ready and went to library to get the micard applications, we ate our dinner at the high street cafe and then went to the park! I got back just in time to sort out Tea and get ready for work. It was just what we all needed.

Morning. We're all still in pj's here so we're having a lazy morning here in the 'Sunny' household. Might pop to John Lewis to take back DD1's lamp that is broken.

Fedup...hugs for you.

GnB...you've got such a brave little girl there. Funny how much chocolate button help isn't it!

Lady Liberty...if you're reading the thread at all, I'm thinking of you.

Suppose I'd better get a shower and sort myself out.

Woop woop - finally called my mobile phone company and sorted the things out ive been meaning to do for ages.....I know I have more important things to be doing, but there was method in my madness! They owe me a £50 credit....which i should get next month.

They also owe me a dongle for my mobile broadband, which means I can finally get on the internet on my BIG LAPTOP instead of this teenyweeny one!!

Should make it easier for job hunting etc too.

Ive decluttered little one off to the childcare which i had to pay for anyway, as i didnt give them enough notice to cancel his place. Am now off to make some tea and toast.

Will gather up washing and take it downstairs with me.....

soappie - how are you? Ready for tomorrow?

I actually have a voice this morning thank you and I'm not coughing up as much green stuff as I did yesterday.

I've just discovered one benefit of having the SF. The doorbell just rang and it was a cold caller. Before he could start I said," sorry, I've got the swine flu, better not chat. " He was back down the front garden path like a bat out of hell!

Not quite ready for tomorrow but I have a paced plan so I will be by mid afternoon. I need to get shoes and a shawl. I also realised I ought to have some sort of little reticule or something to pop some tissues and a cough sweet into just in case so I need to source that. I might even make a little lacey thing - all I need really, is a circle of lace, a circle of cotton for lining and a piece of ribbon to thread through to close it then enough ribbon so it can slip over my wrist. It'll be hidden mainly by my bouquet...

I'm also doing a small shopping list for food for the weekend. Having not really eaten properly all week, I'm craving a crisp salad!

Somewhere I had a list. I shall go find it...
