Morning all ye FLC Fairies

My kids are gonna get sacrificed in a minute of they dont give me a break! - must be the energy laylines:rolleyes:

Have got my knotted hanky/heather ready for FLC3, better do the boogie to some Nature music today! I presume at T-break ritual we will be offering a bottle of Stardrops to the Earth God:D - ark at me rambling on, must be the heat - silly moo! Dont know what my plan of action is today just yet, just go with the flow.

Penpen - thats early!!! MP was too scared to start last nite.
Hope your funeral goes ok tomorrow.

Roz-V - know just what you mean about doing it all - My mum/sister expect me to do everything to help out and ive got my own young family to be getting on with - but Ive got a huge lump of brother who doesnt help - plus mum always seems to make excuses for him why he cant

morning all!

am off to Kidderminster in a min to try and get DS1 something to wear for his leavers ball on Friday.The suit he was going to borrow was too big!:rolleyes: will be trying the charity shops asI cant affort to splash out too much cash at the moment.
When we get back we're going to blitz his bedroom!:eek: the only way to do this as its a small room is to empty it all out into my room, clean the room and rearrange it all,filling several binbags as we go!;)

Am making a batch of chicken and mushroom pies later(halfprice chicken breasts and bogof puff pastry)

Better get a move on anyway.

B - muesli
L - ?
D -chicken and mush pie, cornish new potsa and runnerbeans plus a few homegrown peas!:D (about half a dozen each:D )

Hi
DS is at school, DD at nursery so have till 3.30 today to get things sorted:j .

Asked wrap around care to take DS for an extra session tomorrow so I can have an extended day till 5.30 to get on with things. He has never gone to after-school club before (only breakfast) and I need to see if he likes attending, as this will alter my plans for what I do next in relation to job-hunting/continuing with studies.

MIL made big curry last night for us to have at half-time and I'm so full still don't think I can eat anything all day-bet I do though:o

Right off to start- catch you all later.

Welcome jan59 - not a sad life at all! It sounds like you have a lovely OH.

I really wouldn't swap him for the world. I wonder how bad my previous life was to meet him in this one?

Getting frustrated being at work adn seeing all your TO DO lists!! Have to be in a meeting most of day :eek: , but will do a list during the bits that I am not ahem, participating ! Have to think of a shorthand way of doing it so my colleagues on either side don't think I've flipped! e.g. shopping = purchasing :rotfl: Wonder what else I can come up with?

Hey ho, have to go, the meeting room beckons - wonder if they've got biccies this time? Will have to bake some and take them in for the next one:T

Hugs and High Fives to everyone as appropriate

Hi MushyPeas

The skirting boards are really dusty and dirty. What's the best way to clean them? When I've tried in the past all the dust just goes into little balls and then it's even harder to clean off!!

Have you tried a cloth (preferably microfibre) very slightly damp (dare I suggest a solution of Stardrops!?) - that way the dust will stick to the cloth. I would vacuum the skirting boards first to get the worst off before dusting, though.
Just a suggestion - it's what I would try, anyway!

Hello everybody :wave:,

My bread was a success. :jI'm not that virtuous PenPen, it was called No Knead Oven Raised Bread. I also made a Spicy Bean & Lentil Loaf & some Lettuce & Pea soup. So I've had quite a busy day in the kitchen. All nice and healthy too.

Still raining here. DH has just left for work and I can hear DD clomping up the stairs now.
Queenie I'm glad you enjoyed your day yesterday. I was thinking of you.
I best go and sort out the tea and then I'm off for a bath & Snowy I'll make sure I give those important bits a real swish like you do.

Talk later. Byeeeeeeeeeeeee

Morning all,

It's raining here so the washing mountain will decrease only slightly. Have to make biscuits for ds2 to take into his class tomorrow for his birthday - I refuse to go down the expensive chocolate bar route. Also need to make 2 batches of burgers for the Beaver BBQ tomorrow - PLEASE STOP RAINING:mad:

Alos the French student and I are going to tackle the ironong pile and I have to wash the kitchen floor (with the trusty Stardrops) as the dog had an enormous marrowbone yesterday - free from the butcher - and the floor is all greasy.

Spinach and ricotta cannelloni with tomato sauce for tea - dh has been away and he always craves pasta when he gets back.

School concert tonight - ds1 is playing the violin and ds2 the piano - I think they've only picked him for the cute factor - he's blond with huge blue eyes and at least 4 years younger than the other performers - so we will have to suffer his rendition of "Alouette" at high speed and very loud volume!

Morning ... No formatting or paragraphs again :rolleyes: (VickyA, it's good to know I'm not the only one with this problem!) ... Will pop back tonight when I can type without rambling (LOL) ... just wanted to say ((hugs)) to elona and pooky ... Am at w**k today and have a singing lesson this evening ... Had a nice time at the opera at Holland Park last night with XBF (though it was very windy), and didn't spend any money on drinks ... PenPen, I don't think there's still a llama at Holland Park, just lots of noisy peacocks - there is of course a whole llama FARM next door to Glyndebourne, talk about from the sublime to the ridiculous! ... Stayed overnight at XBF's place as it's only half an hour's walk from Holland Park, we had spag bol for supper, he makes the most FAB bol sauce so have requested his secret recipe ... Will let you know if I hear from PP, though she's not been in touch for a couple of days so I assume she's been out enjoying herself ... See you later :wave: ... Rzl xxx

More appropriate here than the Fly Lady Challenge .....


Spur of the moment decision & a job added to my to do list and completed within seconds :

I've just cut up my credit card AGAIN!

When the new one arrived (february this year) I decided to put it in a back pocket of my purse "just in case" since then our credit card has had £1700 put on it, not including what I've paid off it :eek: That does include £175 insurance and £740 on a new computer, but thats still not good.

Guess who is going to be saving their pennies again
