Weekly Flylady Thread 7th June 2010

Valli

Didn't I mention how I met him?

Must've slipped my mind

but while there are the MSE equivalent of dementors circling the thread (and, it would appear, with their eyes on a particular target IMHO) I'm going to (try very hard to) be somewhat circumspect.

Now THAT was definitely not a blonde bimbo sentence. Must be channelling Brian Cox or someone :rotfl:

Now remember flygang - Piggers is aound, as is Soappie

Belated congratulations on your wedding anniversary.

MrsChaos glad you got your budget done - I must follow your example and get mine done - it hasnt helped that I did some - Look away now if you are of the unorganised type - Christmas shopping last week while away.
Soappie glad you were ok - sounds like things are hectic - whats the news on the job front? xx
AuntyCrafty hope you got yourself organised and I do hope you told the female on the phone where to go!! My Aunt in Elgin had a call recently from a man saying the same thing and unfortunately she was taken in by him and let him work her pc by remote:eek: - as a result he could have got her bank details but she realised something wasnt right and switched off and the pc had to be wiped clean and re-loaded - she lost lots of stuff but also her confidence. Glad you had a good time and I too have decided I need to get myself sorted out.
G&B well said - I totally agree - boo hiss to all the doubters and stirrers.
Dusty bad luck with the bite on your leg - hope its not too sore today (((hugs)))
Penny (((hugs))) dont you dare stop clucking:D

holly hope your knee recovers quickly - my goodness you were lucky with the car and the house!

thanks a million to AnW'sMum, Natty, Ladyl for keeping you posted with my exploits xx

since reading all your posts about the other thread I have decided i will not waste my precious time reading it and getting angry - its just not worth it.

toots xx

Dustykitten

Cally you're one very brave girl!

Holly - hope your knee is better; very lucky with the keys.

Just getting the washing in as it has gone very dark and then to pick the boys up from the train station.

My lamb shank was delicious with my first few purple mange tout

Um... glad you mentioned the dementors, I agree they have someone in mind... :mad: and, although I don't spend a lot of time around MSE, it's really painfully obvious.

That's Professor Brian Cox, OBE from yesterday....:D

I absolutely agree - but I also think the more any of us respond the more they will attack. It is evident that minds will not be changed through reasoned argument or indeed any other legally viable method so can we please all just resist temptation and (to quote the lovely Penelope Penguin) 'step away the keyboard'. Whilst any of us continue to post a defence in the other place the discussion will inevitably continue to roll on and people will continue to be upset/offeneded/annoyed/amused as they see fit .

I had a hard day in the garden, lots of veg planted - just in case it all goes very wrong :cool:. .

Valli

ooh hex - if I plant garlic cloves (which have sprouted) will they grow into new bulbs?

hex2

Valli - you have nothing to lose? The risk is that they spread disease, and I think they need a frost but I may be completely wrong. I am quite new to veg tbh, I mostly grew pretty stuff till we had this bigger garden. I think I am going to have to give jam, making a go this year too - just in case.

Valli

well (you are going to think this is funny) I put them in a hanging basket - so unless the little bulbs start walking like mini oniony triffids they might have a job spreading disease...

so we'll see.

I'll be on hand in my role as jam guru BTW. Made Rhubarb and Ginger Jam on Friday...

lashing down here an' all.

Anyone heard from Jinky lately?

eta - funny that they are in a basket that is! Just that I happened to have an empty one handy!

valli have you met Brian Cox? I'm sooo jealous!
