Weekly Flylady Thread 11th January 2010

rach

Morning all

Plans for today are some flying, some chilling, trying not to spend too much time on here, I also want to try 10 mins on the wii fit as my ankle is so much better, and need to spend about an hour on my service for tomorrow, sermon needs tweaking and I need a children's bit suitable for one or more children. Feel a bit nervous as I've not led any services for over 2 years! But hopefully it will be like getting back on a bike...hmmm must find something to wear.

ETA: my craghoppers parcel has been dispatched (email late last night), tracking thing just says data received, any ideas when to expect it. Realised I should have got it delivered to FiLs as it'll doubtless arrive when we're at work!

greenbee - i need your mob number so I can text you questions like this!!

Forgot to plug laptop in so my post just disappeared into the land of no electricity, bother

g&b brilliant, well done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
Valli awww bless her, pleased you managed to get through them, is her calculator set up properly?
greenbee knowing you use just natural products, do you know what make colourings your hairdresser uses? Trying to find natural ones that aren't in USA and will give me an ingredients list
ragz, sounds like baby knows where it is warmer

We're managing to get the hot water to work sometimes, pressure dropping every day so we had to turn tap then we can't have it on when heating is for definate after those are right it sometimes works so DP managed a shower after 3 attempts. Pleased as I spoke to someone who's DD has been waiting for 2 weeks without hot water.

DS1s got his lego set (indiana) out down here, done a deal that before he takes it upstairs or by 5pm whichever comes sooner he will clear his bedroom skip. Think I'll do the kitchen next & decide what we are having for tea.....HHC 12-12.30 if anyone wants to join xx

Afternoon all (it was morning when I started reading this thread),

Glad everyone who had birthdays this week had a good time.
Congratulations to G&B on the exam results and Mrs Chaos' (?) DS on his.
Well done to ajmoney on your recital - they sound like very positive comments.
Hugs to skipsmum - sounds like a long sleep is in order - with what you've been through this week, I'm not surprised you've not flown.
Great news about the parking ticket Valli - it's nice to see that justice prevailed.

Well yesterday I instructed Moon to do some washing on his day off, and he's done loads - he even put some of it away! He's also moved a lot of junk out into the garage so that there is space for the central heating to be installed next week, and he's hoovered around too. Just a few bits he's missed that I'll have to do later.

Went to MrT on the way to my M&D's last night for dinner, and got lots of reduced stuff, so the freezer is now full. Need to do some meal planning in a minute, so I can work out what else I need to buy when I do the shopping later. Will fill up on petrol whilst I'm there as I'll need it for next weekend.

greenbee can you PM me some more details about the walk next weekend, so that I know times, where we're meeting etc. Who else is going too? Is it ok if my Mum joins us, as she wasn't able to go on the last one cos of her toe operation (she may not be able to, but I thought I'd ask in case) and she likes walking?

Got lots to do today - 28 writing assessments to mark, literacy planning to do, food shopping, washing, change sheets, clean bathroom and kitchen, tidy living room in case colleague comes over tomorrow etc etc, so I'd better wash my hair and get dressed pronto.

Hugs to all who need or want them, particularly LadyL and toots.
