  • afternoon everybody
    I see lots of busy flyers today - well done and its nice to hear that some of the newer flyers are noticing the difference that following the lists makes to their homes

    franby the inland revenue can go back 6 years so you should keep relevant paperwork for that time(bank statements, p60, bank books etc)
    Granny I am sure you will be seeing differences already and things do get easier as time goes on
    junior you have a busy life ahead - and 'yes' it would be better and easier if you were more organised - try to do something from the lists so you get into the way of housework generally especially on bedroom day but make sure you do all your own stuff for work/college. Valli has a great saying Dont put it down put it away - you need to keep saying that to yourself by the sounds of things!!!! we will have to work on you so that your work colleagues notice the difference too:rotfl:
    louboutingirl oooooooooh you naughty thing staying away so long - remind us nearer the time and we will send flylady vibes for your interview.
    holly hope Ds is a bit better today - early bed for you tonight so you get back on track
    macpep hope you feel better later and fingers crossed for a good outcome at the doctor
    Mumto5 could you tape it up - carpet tape, insulating tape, brown tape or soemthing like that?
    lemanie love the sound of your excursions - especially the llamas!!!! hope today's one was less eventful!
    Sarah2490 DD must have been exhausted - you were too - hope she is on the mend and fingers crossed for your friend today xx
    beemuzed enjoy your holiday and bring back some warmth will you please?
    lil_me good luck with the studying and I will be looking for a daily report that you are doing it:rotfl:
    Jo they will be taking good care of her - it will just take time and rest (((hugs)))

    nopot its something I try to encourage - here's the link http://www.breasttalk.co.uk/bra-appeal/

    hello eltee12 of course you can come back - good choice:rotfl:

    my morning went decidely pear shaped - I had 6 phone calls and made 3 - did achieve a little but I have had an unexpected visit from my dietician and now the social worker is coming on wed to do a care review:(

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    dithered about TD's online (can't really afford new one and can't decide between cheap Zanussi or cheaper White Knight - any recommendations?).

    Another White Knight fan here...
    In my last house I had one (condenser).
    It was actually second hand, from my brother.
    I think he had it about 5 or 6 years.
    I had it 5 years.
    When I moved, I gave it to my friend, 7 years ago....
    He still has it.

    Thanks but I am recognising my limitations. I am just going to bag them up and take them to LOROS before I change my mind :o. I am two bookcases in and up to eight books now, and found my missing dvd down the back of the first bookcase :j.

    another zanussi hater. We have a white knight td, on my second one now which I dont think is too bad after six years of daily use.

    I have a Philips TD and Hoover WM; the TD we bought second hand when my DD was a baby for drying nappies in the winter. My DD is now 27 years old:eek:

    The WM my DH picked up from the local tip 10 years ago (in the days when you could bring stuff home from the tip as well as take rubbish there). Someone had ditched it, so he 'rescued' it and it's still going strong. The one we had before that he saw someone taking to the tip on a trailer. They had to stop at a roundabout, so he got out and asked them if he could have it :eek:
    The bloke said yes and that worked for another 15 years!

    The DW likewise he collected from the tip for £8, bought a new pump and installed it (£34) and it has been going strong for the last 8 years.

    Not sure what's going on, but guess we must just be lucky with what we find (and it helps to have a really handy DIYer OH :D)
