Weekly Flylady Thread 8th February 2010

Wow, you lot dont half talk! Been away two days and get back to about 10 pages to read through - taken me the last couple of hours to catch up!

Still, good to hear all your news.

So here goes:

:bdaycake:Happy Birthday Natty
I have no idea who you are, but you deserve good wishes on your birthday.

I am also mystified as to how people know when it's someone's birthday?

To the person asking about 'My Sister's Keeper', I read the book and my DD saw the film. We were talking about it afterwards and we realised we didnt know what each other was talking about - apparently the film ends very differently from the book.

L-L, hope the BD stays away today.

Sarah - congrats to your friend.

So, on to flying. Not sure how much I will do as still struggling with a cold I caught from a barrister last week.

A question to anyone who has got this far (sorry, long post - Ive been deprived for the last couple of days; that's my excuse anyway. Im not really procrastinating, honest!) The last of the extras is about a craft project (I have heaps that I started and never got round to finishing). It's Valentine's Day on Sunday (apologies to those who dont do VD) and I wanted to make something nice for my DH. Anyone got any ideas? Other than cakes, biscuits etc, I mean.

Trying to work from home today, taking a break and mooching on here...:D


Firstly...


Happy Birthday Natty, hope you have a superduper day. xx:bdaycake:


Lady L, THANK YOU again for reinforcing the smear test, its mega important for all females to get done, :kisses3:xx

Lil-Me GO GO GO to the conference and speak....you Can Do It, you will be brilliant and confident and will inspire others......GO ON. :T

Sexy, so sorry to hear about your flu, rest loads, please don't even think of going back to work before you are fully better, its not worth it, you need proper rest and relaxation, one of those conditions you can't rush to get better. xx


Huge WELL DONE both Pigpen and Cyclingyorkie for knocking off some more debt, excellent news.:T:T:T:T:T

Toots hun, how's you? See your ploughing through your mega list...:T xx

Thanks for the support re my vomittastic antibiotics.....managing to keep them down, well I did last night and this morning, cheers though.
Full of a snottastic cold now to add to the mix, bleurghhhh, **sneezes and blows nose noisily**:D

Anyway need to find my old listy from last week and add to it. Luckily I have next week off and would like to get a grip of my un tidy home again. Unfortunately my Miele cat and dog needs the vets I think, it whines very alarmingly and gets hot very quickly and I think it may just blow up....think it needs attending to.:eek:

I'm also on task to get another ebay splurge on, got the stuff, the packaging, the labels etc, just need to get 'em listed.;)

Whilst I'm here I might as well get a wash on, back later. x

Afternoon Flyers, and Happy Birthday Natty.

Just having a time out, and a cheese roll for lunch. This is, in itself, an achievement, as I often forget to eat lunch until Mr LW rings me to check I'm OK.:o

I will post my list when I've completed as much as I can; but I was outside at 07:30 this morning, defrosting the "lollipop" in the birds' water dish, checking the feeders were still adequately full, and putting some food on the ground for the ones that can't use the feeders. I must want my head examined!:rotfl:
:hello:Later, folks.:D

I've read it and seen the film (on the plane... otherwise I wouldn't have wanted to) and the ending to the film is a cop out. The book is much harder hitting. So I'd recommend that those who have seen the film read the book, as it is very thought provoking.

Not much flying done apart from constant wiping down of the kitchen! The utility room ceiling is nearly finished, and the wall cupboards are back up so can be refilled when I get home tonight. The base units will all be coming out at some point so that they can be raised up, and one new wall cupboard is going to be built to box in some pipes. As of next week I'm going to try to use the garden door rather than the back door, and work out whether I can get away with blocking up the back door as it will give me a lot more storage space.

I am managing to keep the healthy eating and exercise going reasonably well (even if I'm not managing to update my signature!) so have my fingers crossed for tomorrow morning's weigh-in.

I've got a month without the builders now :j:j so need to make the most of it!

Window cleaners have just been so I can claim some flying today!

Been out and done all the things I needed too. Been and played with friends puppy as requested for 30 minutes.

House alarm playing up again so I'll need to look into that. Might get a quote for a new one as it is very out of date.

I need to finish putting the shopping away and then a HHP for me

Dustykitten

I'll join you Diva or I'll root to the spot here.
