Weekly Flylady Thread 16th August 2010

Natty68

Morning campers, tis I

I can't believe it's Wednesday already, where did my week go? Someone stole Monday and Tuesday from me..lol.

Well I'm up and about, unfortunately Farmer Giles got me up early and I had to take some painkillers, ugh I hate TOM it always brings on this Giles character..:mad: Although it isn't every month, so there is no rhyme or reason..oh well just another thing us women have to suffer for being women..lol

I can't believe it the birds have already eaten the food I put out for them late last night, although I think the main culprit was Woody as he was sitting on the feeding tray and not letting anyone else on. Oh he did let Mr or Mrs Dove have some food, but he was being very territorial against the sparrows..lol. Bless him.

I'm not sure if Mrs Dove has had her brood yet as they have both been away from the nest a few times during the days, yet she is sitting there all proud at the moment. I did catch her doing a bit of spring cleaning of her nest just now, she's a very clean bird I have noticed Wonder if she knows about "Flylady" :rotfl: Ooops now she is staring at me, very offputting..lol. :rotfl:Mr Dove is pacing up and down on my fence, I wonder if he is trying to let me know that there is no food in the feeder. Yes I do know Mr Dove, give me a chance to get out there..sheesh!!! Saw a baby starling last night in the garden, I thought it was a thrush and called DH out from the kitchen to have a look. He was in fits after telling me it was a baby starling, then said that I should know by now what birds are what with the amount we get in our garden..lol. Oh well I didn't know, it had spots on its chest and it looked really pretty, but then after further inspection I noticed it had the starling feathers coming through on its tail end. Oh well I can't be expected to know everything now can I?

Well after my unexpected visit to a major roundabout in Chatham on Monday I sort of lost myself.. You wouldn't believe how much that threw me..it didn't help that I had been to councelling in the morning and was spending the afternoon with my friend T as I was upset. Still that certainly took my mind off it..lol. T's car is now a dead car, the head gasket has given up life and she isn't going to get it repaired. Still it was an interesting couple of hours watching life go by.. and the RAC guy was a very nice guy and a good laugh. Thank gods I have a newer car and not an old banger..lol. Strange thing is we were only talking about buying a new car for T, but keep the little one she was driving, when it stopped and started smoking at us.. Thank gods it wasn't literally across the roundabout otherwise we could have got squished, we were still on the slip road sort of. Two very nice policemen came and moved the car to the middle of the roundabout and then went on their merry way, while we waited for Mr RAC man. All in all it was a good laugh, still you have to laugh about it don't you. And it certainly took my mind off my little problem, although bless T she had only just lent me the money to sort my problem out about an hour before this happened, and then the car broke down. Ooops you know that's the last time I try this "Cosmic Ordering" thing, it sort of has odd consequences.

Yikes I'm only up to page 3, but I'll have a read of it all later..in the meantime:

Welcome to all the newbies :T
Mummyslittleboy hope you are doing okay after last week. Don't worry about disappearing, your family are much more important. Hugs sweetie.
Soappie please don't burn out hon, it's not a good look
Onestep so glad your arm is finally healing, I bet you will be glad when you get full movement again. Hugs hon xx
Serena I haven't forgotten your PM re. wicker basket - will sort that out later for you
Lilostitch - you and me both hon. I keep going until I literally flop down unable to do anymore. DH is always telling me it can be done another day etc. I was starting to get the gripey hip, that I normally get when my ME starts to flare up, the other day. This is normally my ME giving me a wake up call. For gods sake please don't keep pushing to do as much as possible otherwise you will regret it big time - take it from experience here hon.
Piggers nice to see squeak is fitting in so nicely :rotfl: How is the little munchkin doing? Surely it's time for a new photo
WB PenPen, hope you enjoyed your holiday?
Kaz, did I see you post about wrapping a Xmas present earlier :eek: It's August woman, you're mad :rotfl:
Valli thank gods you didn't bury the poor little gerbil. Is said gerbil still alive? Oops I see it's now gone to gerbil heaven..:(

when i was young and slim enough to get away with wearing red dungarees (yes I mean the 1980's) i washed a fiver in them - gave the Queen a royal flush!

I agree withthe poster who claims the unremoved contents of pockets....my £500 sealed pot is doing very well:p

Feeling quite pleased that by 8.30am, I've put one load of washing away, 2 loads are on the line, and another one is in the WM as we speak. I may manage to get all of the washing done this morning. :j

Plan this afternoon is to catch up with my bridesmaid who I've not seen for about a month. Think we are going to go for a walk, but it depends on the weather. The forecast yesterday said it would be raining by the afternoon, which is a shame, as it's really nice and sunny out there at the moment.

When I've cleared the landing of laundry, I'm going to whizz round the upstairs with the hoover. Fingers crossed this may help with the sneezing situation too.

This is what I shall be aiming for when I get back from work. I'm walking so hope I have enough energy left. Must remember 4.4 docs appointment.
