Weekly Flylady Thread 5th July 2010

rach

longterm - I don't iron anything!

I washed up after dh cooked, now DH is doing some latin before we watch a film, I am pootling online. WM is on with whites in, will need one more quick wash prog before bed tonight as DH has splashed a load of oil down his tshirt when cooking dinner, so I will grab everything and anything to make a small load!

Shredder broke today, seems like a staple got stuck or something but seems completely ruined. So annoying.

Good evening :beer: It's the weekend, and as it's Yorkshire Show next week, I'm only doing one day then :j

House has been tidied, pots washed, DD has gone to a friend's and DS on his new bike to Scouts

Going to see if I can catch up on some news, and then post a list

Pretty numbers

DD3 had a very exciting day yesterday. Her brownies pack had won a gardening competition and their designed set is at Hampton Court flower show. Some of them were invited to the press day yesterday and they all met Sophie Wessex. DD absolutely shattered this morning, but has still gone to school as she's desperate to share her news :rotfl:

Well done to your DD :T

Did quite well with that. Got the windowledge sorted, why can't anyone put their old toothbrushes in the bin when they get a new one!!!!!
Found a wicker basket left from christmas so all bubble baths and shower gels etc are in there and it looks so much better.

I am finding it easier to do small chunks. I know Pigpen told me to do that ages ago but I still just kept trying to push then burning out by the middle of the week.

How did you get on toots

DS1 has been choosen as a Year 7 prefect (6th former who is allocated to help the new children in his house during their first year) which is quite an honour (only 12 of them) and also as a young sports ambassador to join the committee for our district (only 5 of them from his school). It means he has to go into school for the new intake day on Thursday and the suit will get another outing in the evening when he has to be present at the Head's address to the new parents

Well done to DS1 :T Good to see him getting his money's worth from the suit :money:

Lamewolf/PP - DH did evening classes years ago and we have a forge and anvil, etc.

He is busy turning mushrooms out of wood on the lathe tonight which I get to sand later. Very tactile, and should sell well to small children. A couple of years ago he made silver jewellery, and prior to that it was the most lovely watercolour pictures. I wish I had even a tenth of his practical ability, and I hope the boys have inherited some of it.



Metalman is in my Cardoons so he looks small, but he is actually about 90cm tall.

ETA - PP, I do the Bob Marley jammin stuff too....... DH thinks I am mad. The blackcurrant we made yesterday is lovely. I am a convert.

Love the metal man :j DH and I did wood turning, too I did pottery, but had to0 give up as I was 7mthe pregnant with DD and she kickjed like nothing else when I got close enough to the wheel :rotfl:

DD is considering a degree in silversmithing

greenbee - glad the funeral went well :A

longterm sorry having internet probs now - managed to clear the mantlepiece of all that shouldnt be there and those things were all dealt with (while i spoke to my mother who phoned in the middle:mad: as the rest of the flyladies know - me and my mother are not exactly bosum-buddies!!!!!)
put some other bits away from the floor, managed to dig the hoover out so going to hoover around the fireplace in the next go!

small chunks are good and you can achieve loads.
