Weekly Flylady Thread 18th January 2010
Comments

Been out for lunch (greasy spoon type cafe, it's fab I had a jacket potato with beans and cheese, DH had a bacon and sausage roll in a lovely crusty roll, plus a large orange juice and choc milkshake for dh and it was only £7.50), got a few bits from Sains and am now reading on the bed. DH is playing on ps3 and is going to do some flying after that.
2 annoying things have happened today though: i collected my craghoppers parcel from the shop downstairs, one thing is missing, but the despatch note says it is there so I bet they will make me pay, and nothing fitstheir stuff is made for giants, even the short length is far too long. Grrr. And secondly, the woman from the shop then came round and said that there's a leak, looks like our washer is leaking through the floor. Came back and found a little bit of water on our floor too.
Have emailed the agent but it's bound to be more hassle!
