Weekly Flylady Thread 28th December 2009

Poppytime

Evening Ladies :hello:
Once again not had a very good day flying but have taken all the Xmas Decorations and Cards down. They have yet to be put away but are boxed up ready and I shall do that tomorrow (with help of DD and DS I hope) :rolleyes: Need to put hoover around and do general tidy up in LR tomorrow. CBA doing anything today
Had 'meeting' with KH this morning and things didnt go too badly - could have been a lot worse but still lots of sorting to do. Thanks to Toots, Lil_me, Mumof2, Greenbee, Jinky, Crafty and Ladyl for their positive vibes.
Will have to catch up tomorrow with rest of thread but hugs for all that need them

Nicki - hope your dd is feeling better soon xx

Well she's asking for pizza for her tea so I'm hoping it was just the tomatoes yesterday that were just slightly past their BBD Didn't notice until after they were eaten by both of us :o

Washing machine is on empty boil maintenance wash :mad: Took a toothbrush to it. Tea is also on so I'm making slow progress but progress

Boys are bathed, pj'd and watching a movie in the spare room double bed. Upstairs is all hoovered (apart from my bedroom which definately needs some work) but all the other rooms are spotless.

Someone kick me into setting up my Wii Fit please??????

Jo thats good that you dont have to give a lot of notice. well done on gettinmg started to declutter and I am very impressed that you have done all your meal planning and shopping lists - look at all the money you will save and have to spend on your next home. Does your Aunt work and use a childminder - if you had to stay with her could you offer yourself as childminder if you cant find a full time job? When you take the decors down why not pack them ready for travelling then you wont have to touch them again?
holly what a star - that must have been murder to sit and see them eat chips:eek:
fedup well done with the wardrobes - you put your mind to it and have conquered it:T:T:T
pigpen could you supervise the children taking the tree down or would that be courting disaster?
kazm hope the cold and the bad head go quickly - well done for doing the driving anyway - its not easy just now.
smartie12 well done to your DS - do you have to get up at dawn to get him up?:rotfl:
juliejim oh thats not good - when will it be sorted? thank goodness you have the fire though.
serena hope you feel better soon - well done getting started on the school stuff
pooh so long as you are all warm and have food thats the main thing - dont be venturing out unless you have to - I used to clear a spot for my pooch when it was snowy - was easier to clean up afterwards too.
Tilli awhh big huggles for pooch - hope she is over it now - medicinal cuddles are very important:rotfl:
Happy Birthday to JulieJims DD xx
thanks for the info greenbee
shazba welcome back
LadyL fluttering is fine - I dont want to read about any supersonic flying!!!! xxxx
Poppy thats good honey - thats the first step - you can build from there and slowly you will get things sorted - its good that you can manage to sort things out between you. keep adding to your list when you think of things.
vanilla - thats sounds pretty bad so you be careful if you venture out
mudders well done with the soup - I didnt take soup until I started my chemo and the hospital soup is brilliant so now I make my own too - its great making your own concoctions and can be very slimming and healthy too.
1 step hope you feel better soom - maybe a bad bout of bloating?
SSL hope you feel better later and I also hope you get your roads cleared - probably will be tuesday here.

Sexymouse says 'Hi' she can read but not post as she is not on her own pc - it is the power supply that has gone on hers so it will be tomorrow before she can do anything about it.

I went into town - what a nightmare the streets and pavements are - I have never seen it so bad - hard packed ice and more snow on top - I had no mishaps because i was taking my time. I wanted the post office but it was shut and a couple of other places too so not a very successful trip - I did however get a long cardi in M&S reduced from 35 to £15 and a jumper reduced from 22 to £7 so quite pleased about that.

ok I am off to do stars
toots xx

ETA Aunty I forgot to say earlier - I needed a new airer too and when AnW's Mum was here we found a good one in Dunelm for £9.99 if thats of any help. xx

pigpen

Toots... I have an 8 ft tree and my tallest child is 5ft 2... plus they aren't here.

lil_me

juliejim hope you get the boiler sorrted soon & it doesn't hinder your DDs birthday x
tooch sounds like you had a good time, I might see if there is one of those vouchers still valid on Monday for DS1s
smartie good luck to him, well done to him too for getting of his butt & finding work (sorry I missed that before)
Poppytime pleased it went ok, things like that are never easy/sorted in one meet up
poohbear pleased everyone is doing their bit, I can understand the emotional bit as it's always worse when you 'can't' go out than when you just don't want to. My friend near penrith has frozen milk & put it in the snow to save it for if she gets stuck without as she has a small freezer which I thought was a fab idea.
ajmoney they haven't even done all those here & we've had no bins collected for 2 weeks...I am a little 'peeved'
nicki we always avoid dairy after bugs, anything else goes lol
Valli yes tin it, see how much you are saving

Oh Blackberry owners on here, mine has a yellow globe on the screen with a 1 next to it, any ideas what it means?

DP went to work so ended up with spag bol, probably better for me as I use way too much cheese in lasagne, got DS1 to eat it too that's 2 'new things' in a day but I did have to pick the mushooms out for him.

I best go feed/mist the lizards & get the DW refilled, HHC 7.30pm for me
