Weekly Flylady Thread 5th July 2010

funfairprincess

Evening flyfriends I'm on my jollies!!!!!!!!! We are here the caravan is set up and the awning is up too. Had the kidsand the dog down the beach and only had a slight panic atack so thats was good. Kids have all been fed and OH is now away setting up his gear for Friday night with help from BiL, neice, DS1and2. DD is having a great time running about on the grass next to the caravan. I managed to clean up the house before I left so it will be nice when we get back for once:j

Just had my SiL on the phone FiL is being put on a feeding tube at last I'm pleased but no one else is. He is too weak to eat so that, in my opinion, is the best thing for him. I think he may pick up too when he gets some stength back.

Saver-J Hugs honey glad your OK
Jojo fantastic result have fun wih retail therapy.

Hello everyone..I haven't been here for ages, so needless to say I'm well out of date with you all.
LL - hope you had a lovely time at Glastonbury..((hugs))
FFP - Best wishes for your FIL & enjoy your holiday.. where are you?
Toots - hope you're keeping alright.
Hugs to everyone else that needs..

Things are a bit quieter now so hope to make it back a bit more often. Had a couple of really busy weeks what with one thing and another. Then I was on holiday for a week, we had a fab time, loads of sunshine & plenty of relaxing & not a dot of housework for a week!!
We got back late Saturday evening & I did 2 loads of washing on Sunday morning then the washer packed up :mad:.. Managed to get another one delivered on Tuesday which was really quick but was an expense I could've done without. Today was the first day back to work, got home and one of the cats had puked his breakfast all over the bed so had to go back out to Asda to get a new duvet!!

Car collected from garage and cheque decluttered to garage Still at least I am sure I paid for what was done (it's a real old fashioned garage where you walk through the workshop to get to the office and the owner is there and answers questions - in words I can understand)

jojo - that's great news - and it's yours - repayment of money you already had to pay out - of course some will be spent on your bass.
Saverj - hugs - at least no one was hurt - hopefully you will sleep tonight
toots - why is your light still on?
