Weekly Flylady Thread 5th July 2010

hex2 have you thought about setting up on etsy? possible way to make some £££...

have done loads of flying here My niece isn't very well, and my sister is not a very patient nurse (IYSWIM!), so she's coming here for a few days. The spare room is finished, & looks lovely so hopefully that'll help her feel better, as well as the change of scene.

Took old girl to the vet, for blood tests, and a check up. Think her kidney function is ok, but still managed to de-clutter £90!!! :eek: will be checking to see if I can claim any of it back through the insurance. She hasn't eaten again tonight, but then I did try to sneak back to the rice & tuna I'll cook chicken for her again tomorrow.

hugs to everyone

AnWmum~~ it should recover for next year, I always cut mine down in at Autum, and they always seem to regrow each spring......mine originally came fron Chatsworth garden centre or game fair several years ago.

Bluddy pigeons have flown yet again in to the windows, even with the window charm a kind flylady gave me some time ago, I blame pigpen for the clean windows I have, they (the pigeons that is) think they can fly right through from the front to the back or back to front! now I will have to clean of the wing marks yet again.

Not too bad but the kids actually helped for once. It is nice sitting here with it all lovely and clean.

Just had my mum on the phone. She has been going through my Grandmas stuff and found a book about old style cleaning. It's called The Easy Way and was published in 1916 so it belonged to my Great Grandma. She wanted to know if I would like it of course I did so I will be able to give you all helpful REALLY old style tips:rotfl:
