Weekly Flylady Thread 10th May 2010

kazmeister

Evening all

carpy day at work so glad to be home, my boss just will not give anyone credit for when they do a good or difficult job, she winds me up so much sometimes I want to smack her one (but luckily my control is better than that!!!)

Just caught up so

Right night for me soon I think

ETA While some were talking about XKH's I felt it only fair to all Ex's to give mine some praise. Apart from the first 6 months after I left him, he has always paid a regular amount for our son, increasing it over the years with inflation which he will continue to do until he finishes full time education (my solicitor was good !! especially as XH paid my solicitors fees as well) He is due to finish paying me in the summer but has generously offered to pay DS's accommodaion bill for the whole 3 years he will be at uni instead so a big :T:T:T to him

I need to make myself sort clothes and pack lunches. Just glad I did a weeks worth of ironing yesterday so not a huge effort. Also need to get DW emptied and filled, the WM contents into the TD, and get more than 20k on my fitbug pedometer in a vague attempt to beat Greenbee, Poohbear and SSL to the top of Everest....... competative, moi?

You're WAY ahead of me... only 3700 so far, but you try climbing mountains in 4" heels... however, you have given me an incentive to get my act together tomorrow...

I have an amazing rhubarb chutney recipe for when we are all decluttering copious amounts of the stuff.
My jam isn't so popular as we are not a very sweet family but I do still make it.

I would love the recipe too please poohbear

He is only 3 and has global delay of 18 months so he doesn't understand instructions only how to destruct when he has a melt down, but its all done now girls gave me a hand so we got it done pretty quick:)

If it helps any... he will get less destructive as he gets older.. and 18 months at 3 is a large difference but 18 months at 15 isn't..

and no.. it was hard enough.. and expensive enough.. to do mine!!

I have had to wait 14 years for a decorated bedroom!!

Just shows... you chose better second time round... your current OH seems to be pretty persuadable when it comes to domestic activity... (and is there another like him that you could send down here for me???)

Evening all

Done a few of the extras (easy ones, to make a start), read with DS2/done HW and some dailies. Busy day tomorrow. I need to go outside first thing to make sure that everything is ready for moving the shed/putting up the playhouse. Then straight into town after work to get to the bank before collecting DS2 at 5.30. Some of the things on the list shouldn't take too long, so I'll have a go. Will also have to put stuff back into the shed - after decluttering, of course! Maybe DH will help...
Hope everyone's week is going well/getting better.

Well, to recap so far, are you sitting comfortably there are these 3 blokes, who all want to be in charge. So they asked every adult in the country to pick, and we couldn't So they've spent 4 days, with their chums, in smoke-less rooms trying to decide. They're meanies really, and won;t tell anyone what's going on, so the Journos need to keep making stuff up to sell papers. Are you zzzzzzzzzzzzzz yet

List for tomorrow (sorry, that'll be today :eek: )

Morning lovely flyladies,

Determined new ms and smiley28
Jinkypinks - Big big huggles hon, you know where I am if you need me.
Toots - You probably thanked me on the thread hon which I haven't read in more than 10 days. And no, no-one online knew I was back in hospital cos darling LadyL had her own things to deal with and I knew she would worry if I told her 'cos she loves me!!
lemanie - A couple of people have said they use me as a kind of bookmark to find the start of that days thread, so you aren't alone..
LadyLib - Thanks for the texts hon, it's always nice to 'talk' to you. Feel better soon please?

Rosepink -
Kazmeister - Really nice to read about your ex being such a good guy. Rare to hear and lovely to see.
Ishtar - Glad your mum is out of the hospital.
Juliejim - Hope you feel better soon hon
Pigpen - your room looks really lovely.

You can add me to your list of jam makers and preservers, I love it! Though probably not in Valli or Penpens league. I make several killer chutneys (chilli being my fave) and my rhubarb and ginger jam is popular too!

Love to all and hope everyone has a good day. With love, light and

Diva.x
