Christmas Flylady Thread 21st December 2009

froddington

It's cold here again tonight although it's been sunny today. I hope all of you with snow / ice are safe. It's horrendous up at work (North Hampshire) so I am lucky it's the holidays but all the people I know up there are pretty much stuck and some have had power cuts.

I managed to get everything done that I needed to do in town - got there just before half 8 and was home by 11. Even treated myself to a brekkie in Mr T! Went to see dad this afternoon and have been pottering around since then.

pigpen - so sad to hear the news; my thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends. I hope you aren't feeling too sore today

soappie - glad you have heat

tickb - welcome

juliejim - congrats

kazw - thanks for sharing; what an experience

greenbee - congrats

mudbath - brilliant plan!

hugs for mudbath, Toots, L-L and Diva and everyone else who wants one.

Now need to update my list ..............

4. Catch up on the laundry .. ironing is tomorrows job!
5. Change pet bedding and wash blankies etc.. we don't want them putting you off your christmas sprouts!
6. Dust round the whole downstairs

Tuesday - Time's nearly up!!!

1. Iron yesterdays wash mountain
3. Declutter your desk.. if it is anything like mine it is full of receipts and invoices!
4. Wash any soft furnishings in need of freshening up

Just been to Homebase and bought next years wrapping paper - paid just over £3 for £33 of paper and got giant chocolate coins for 9p each - don't ya just love a bargain

Also popped into Borders as they are going today - very sad for staff - bought a couple of bits

Doing a massive pile of ironing tonight as we have SS over tomorrow and I'm quite embarrased by the size of the ironing pile

DH has a prostate infection so thats good [we were a bit worried]
