Weekly Flylady Thread 26th July 2010

Good Morning,

Well, it looks like it's been an eventful weekend, was just having a quick catch up. Sorry to hear of all your hassle Pigpen, I'm liking CY's idea, get thee to hospital with all children in tow and camp out in a waiting room until they deal with you in a satisfactory manner and glad the smoke alarms worked this time - thanks for reminding us all to check them.

Hope Toots is ok after the op?

I'm in again this week and would like to thank Pigpen, Soappie and any one else helping out.

Welcome to all new and partially fledged flypeeps, grab a binbag and leap on the whirling merry-go-round of the thread , don't worry if you fall off, just do a bit of any list and keep doing it most weeks and you'll soon notice a big difference.

Morning all,

I've booked Ds2 into the childrens room at curves for 3pm. I need to get back into it after the holiday. I did walk miles and miles but also ate and drank enough to more than make up for it.:cool:

I'm going to do a HHC at 10.00 if anyone wants to join me?

I've fed us and the rabbits so far this morning and that's about it.

Love the thread and looking forward to joining in! This is my first attempt......

Have got through level one Monday and then decided to do a hotspot - the left hand side of my kitchen drawer....... it's amazing what you find and I thought I would share my 'list' with you....

• Small box of drawing pins
• 4 biros
• 3 pencils
• 1 eyeliner pencil (green)
• 1 tape measure
• 2 wine bottle corks from bottles of wine which were ‘special’ (though I can’t remember what was special about them?)
• 1 champagne cork – ditto
• 1 Yorkshire Tea token
• 1 small eraser
• 1 reel of tape (for strapping injuries)
• 1 44p stamp
• 2 loose drawing pins – presumably escapees from first item?
• 1 small resealable plastic bag with a button in – you know, the ones that are attached to a new garment purchase?
• 1 pair (blunt) craft scissors
• I picture hook
• 1 discarded cat collar – cat keeps losing it and we keep finding it in the garden
• 1 inhaler (out of date)
• Another drawing pin
• 2 ‘teat pipette’ things for dispensing liquid cat medicine (used once…. abandoned)
• 1 child’s paintbrush
• 1 copy of medicinal information notes for medication no longer used
• 1highlighter pen
• 1 tiny gold safety pin
• 1 ‘pound coin’ disc for use in shoppng trolleys – minus chain to attach it to keyring, which could have made it more useful than it has become..
• Another drawing pin
• A Makro card – no longer used
• Ball of blu tack, with embedded drawing pin
• An allan key
• 3 pink beads salvaged from flower arrangement ‘to use later’
• One inch pin with a bead on the end, also salvaged from said arrangement
• My blood pressure tablets
• A post it note with info on laminates on it (laid last year in the hall)
• Lapel badge from prostate cancer promotion
• Mini disc with info about Jamie Oliver pans we treated ourselves to
• Small nail clippers
• Packet of ear plugs (unused)
• 4 spare fuses for Christmas tree lights
• Packet of chocolate sprinkling powder – Baileys promo pack
• Another drawing pin
• 3 paper clips
• Packet of tiny screwdrivers
• Ball of elastic bands – I’ve always wanted one of these and set it up about 18 months ago – it’s now about 1 ½ inches in diameter:j
• Pair of stud earrings – wondered where THEY had got to!
• My volunteer id badge for a charity
• 3 pieces of scrap paper with 'useful' phone numbers on – wish I ‘d written down who they were for…..
• Another drawing pin
• 2 sticky ‘buds’ for use in crafting
• 1 small black bead

Following the advice of "Don't put it down, put it away" I am about to trek around the house putting these in their appropriate homes... :A.... including the bin!

Feels good!! And I have a 'spare' side of the drawer... wonder what I can put in it?? :think:
