. I must call the florist to sort flowers for the funeral. Sorry if this offends anyone but I think that funeral flowers are the biggest waste of money.
My stomach is in knots worrying about the funeral tomorrow. I can't eat so feel dizzy from low blood sugar. I've tried but I just chew and chew and can't swallow.
Can you make yourself a smoothie or something then?:lovethoug:lovethoug:kisses3::heartpulsOnce a Flylady, always a Flylady:heartpuls0 -

I found some holes in my bedding yesterday & having emptied the box I keep the spare bedding in, found a dead moth,so I'm assuming a small clothes moth problem. :eek: I've washed all the bedding that was stored in there at 60 & washed & disinfected the storage box, I haven't found any other traces. So i've ordered a trap from Amazon, but does anyone have any other advice about these? Never had them before :eek:
Hope everyone has a good day...

Hi All,
I hope you manage to get help at the doctors today Lil_me. And brilliant news about DSs. Life is so much easier when they are happy. DS3 is happy for the first time in education and he is 19! I wish were able to do more for him when he was younger.
Hugs and prayers for you mumto5 especially for tomorrow.
thrifty your DH sounds like mine at the moment. It took mine 2 days to go to minor injories and he now has a pain relief gel which I told him to buy before he went there. BTW it is much cheaper from pharmacy than on prescription.
toots hugs and prayers for you too. I hope things go well for you.
My hands are feeling much better today but I am going to take things carefully still. I am baking today using my food processor and will get DH to strip our bed and get some cleaning done in our room.
We have a roofer here joining our house to next door at the back and mortar is falling all over the hall so I am not even going to think about that yet. It does mean that my store room is becoming closer to being finished.business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

Morning all; and many, many thanks for all the birthday wishes. We had a lovely day out, and Mr LW took me for a quiet meal at our favourite pub in the evening, followed by a bottle of vintage champagne when we got home.:AI find tossing a coin useful. If you toss a coin and you are unhappy with the outcome then you know what decision to make IYSWIM.My stomach is in knots worrying about the funeral tomorrow. I can't eat so feel dizzy from low blood sugar. I've tried but I just chew and chew and can't swallow.
Diva I hope you're a bit better by now; should I send you anti-icky vibes?
Sexymouse and JennyJewel I have omitted to congratulate you on your respective forthcoming weddings *hangs head in contrition* - let me put that right now - CONGRATULATIONS!
:idea:Maybe we need a list at the top of the thread, of upcoming weddings, the same as we have a list of expected Flybabies!;)
Mr LW has offered to put his Flyboy hat on when he gets in tonight, and help me catch up:A but I also have to do some baking today. At least the weather is sunny, so the washing that was done overnight (cheaper leccy;)) is on the line. Oh, and I just use the first pegs that come to hand.:rotfl:If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
I must call the florist to sort flowers for the funeral. Sorry if this offends anyone but I think that funeral flowers are the biggest waste of money.
I agree totally, we had a couple of small arrangements and then donations to charity. Don't stress about what to wear, those that love and care about you won't be bothered and those that don't love or care don't matterI found some light coloured shoes out of the wardrobe for DH's funeral which no doubt some disapproved of but no one made any comments. I shall be thinking of you tomorrow.
I have started sorting out the bottom of the coat and shoe cupboard in the cloakroom. How many pairs of old trainers does a man need?! Can't bear to bin them thoughso they are going to be bagged and put up in the loft for now. I knew it would be difficult to sort but I shall carry on and get it finished......after a :coffee: anyone joining me?

Mumto5 I agree with you over funeral flowers, when my mother died the funeral undertakers 'offered' to do the family flowers at a staggering £150 per floral arragement, my SIL went to a local florist for about £25, and I did my own for my mother at about £20 (I think).
Please don't worry about shoes, if anyone makes a comment which is very unlikely, tell them to do one! ie fk off, far more important things to worry about at a funeral IMO.
