Weekly Flylady Thread 24th August 2009

Holly, oh dear ((hugs)) that isn't good at all, do you have a set down agreement? I am always shocked how people can just forget about paying towards their children's upkeep. That is disgusting, it is a shame the CSA is so useless but is it worth you trying them? Never know you might be one of the cases where they get it right.
Natty a lovely thing for Beth's owner to do, it's a pity Fred's owner didn't appreciate it as much. Have you considered doing pet sitting professionally? Our local pet sitter makes a good living from it, I am paying £17.50 a day in September for Luke to be looked after.
Pigpen, knowing you, probably, good luck completing by 10am, ((hugs)) hope kitty transfer goes ok and he settles soon
Zoe that looks really pretty, zoe and juliejim sounds like you both have a lovely time
boddy, I am sure every gift was well deserved, you always seem to put in so much there and I am sure they will all miss you as much as you will miss them, I would have been more suprised if you didn't cry. Pleased you had a good party.

Wind picking up here now, pleased I remembered to get the washing in when I got back. So yes, I did go back over the house, took about 15 boxes over - pleased I got the Landrover as I can fit loads in it. Boys ended up really tired and pushing their luck, I probably shouldn't have done it but didn't realise it would take so long to unpack everything. I've also managed to clean those appliances DP failed to wipe down before he took them over. I've managed to do another 2 washer loads since I got back, ones in TD now one in washer - think I pressed the wrong button as it's taking ages!!

I must remember to get some of the frozen berries out to put in my breakfast tomorrow, need to use them up at some point. Think it's bed time now, more packing/moving stuff in the morning, think we've barely scratched the surface even if we have never stopped.

Goodnight everyone x x

Hi, realised that the reason I was not getting any flying done was because I was spending too much time on the computer, so last two days have only switched it on after tea, & what a difference, I actually need some stars......

Toots - smurf ideas for you

Brainy Smurf fancies himself as the all-around brain of the village and an expert on everything, although he is usually wrong. He sometimes thinks that because he is (supposedly) smarter than anyone else, that makes him second-in-command behind Papa Smurf and can do things better than the other Smurfs. He can be distinguished from the others by the thick glasses he wears, as he is extremely short-sighted. In the comics during the Olympic games, he called himself Schtroumpf arbitre (referee) and handed out yellow cards to everyone. The Smurfs usually respond to his self-rightous preaching by hitting him over the head with a mallet or throwing him out of the village.
I chose this one for you being second in command and giving out stars - not a perfect fit because I don't think you are usually wrong

Poet Smurf is the poet of the village. He is very sensitive and artistic. He spends most of his time wandering in nature to improvise poems about it, and sometimes has trouble finding verses that rhyme. He usually manages to do it through some accident (such as slipping on soap or having a pear fall on his head).
I choose this one as you are very sensitive and write fantastic posts for us all

Nanny Smurf, an old flame of Grandpa Smurf's, Nanny enters the cartoon series after being trapped inside a cursed castle for centuries. It is unclear if she is a naturally occurring female Smurf or if she was somehow created via sorcery like Smurfette and Sassette. She's introduced in Season 8 of the series, and she owns a pet rabbit named Smoogle
I choose this one because you just appeared in our flying world and love pets, I bet you also were many a man's old flame;)

Morning all

Am not impressed as I woke up (and woke DH up) coughing just before 7am, there was no way the cough was going to settle so I ended up getting up. Thankfully have had a decent night's sleep, but i could've done with a bit more of a lie in. I was more concerned about DH getting a good lie in though as he's shattered.

So far I've hung up a load of washing from last night, loaded the WM and will switch it on a bit later. I'm going to catch up and sort out a list. DH said we can do the flying together today, he actually said he'll do it but his efforts, worthy as they are, are only really hoovering!

I've got a yukky tummy ache too, think AF on her way again, hormones probably all over the place! I'm out tonight to my old colleague's leaving do. should be fun.
