Weekly Flylady Thread 23rd November 2009

Hello all you fliers
I am back, had my piggy jag on Tuesday and boy did it knock me for 6 :eek:, I must have had a bad reaction to it, was up since 4am on the early hours of Wednesday morning being sick & the runs, and could hardly move my arm, I had to go into work as my boss was off but just came straight home and went to bed both days, It isn't painful to type now.
I have a lot of catching up flying wise to do but my DH has been off this week so the place isn't too bad, but now he has "Man" flu so I will have him to [STRIKE]put up with[/STRIKE] look after :rolleyes:
Am going out tonight for a meal with a friend for her birthday but hopefully won't be a late night as I have a sneaking suspicion I will have to do the swimming run tomorrow.
Sorry I have not had time to catch up with thread, you lot are blethers!!
Usual hugs for everyone, take care

aj take it easy, maybe you should have a quiet day
I have been swimming with some of the girls from work, normally I push myself but it was nice to have fun, next time we are going for lunch after. I am chilling with :coffee: then going to have lunch. I am watching Jezza re-runs. After lunch I may sort some wardrobes that I have been putting off for sooooooooo longbut no worries I won't overdo it. Will update on OHs dad when I have my head together but I can safely say that things are NOT good

What a shock about Ricky Whittle being arrested, they are going to decide this afternoon if he will be allowed to dance tomorrow.
I'm doing okay thanks hun, just had to write an email to a friend who hadn't heard, which was hard, but has to be done.
I hadn't heard about Ricky! I wonder if he will dance?

Afternoon all,
I haven't caught up with all the thread so hugs to anyone who needs one.
I'm probably not getting my car now, there's a problem with OH's car ( which he bought from the same place i was gettting mine last week ) that's going to be expensive to fix.

Afternoon campers
Having another enforced day in due to me keep ordering online, and now waiting for DHL to deliver yet another parcel. Probably turn up the same time as yesterday - 5pm I do need to go out and get to the post office and the chemist in the village, so will pop a note on the door to deliver to my next door neighbour if I'm not in.
Wrote out the ingredients I need to make a last minute christmas cake and some mince pies next week, so will get Dave to pick them up Saturday morning in Asda. Am off to Bromley tomorrow to do some Christmas shopping with some friends.
Took delivery of my Mrs Beeton's Larder collection from The Book People this morning, just couldn't resist when I was ordering one of Dave's presents.. Ooooh there's a lovely one on Christmas shall browse that one with a cup of tea in a minute I think.
Hopefully Monday morning my Dyson attachements will arrive - I think I have thrown away the crevice tool, the stair tool and the brush. So now I can't hoover the stairs or corners etc, I can't get on with the mini turbine tool so will have to hoover as best as I can until the new bits arrive. Dave wasn't happy that I had to buy them but I couldn't really not have any attachements..lol. Knowing my luck I will find the other ones when the new ones arrive..:D
Hugs to everyone that needs them..
