Weekly Flylady Thread 23rd August 2010

Ironing decluttered. Another small slice of cake decluttered. V+ program decluttered.

WM and WM have just finished so I'll empty those and then I'm heading up to bed to do a bit of reading.

Tomorrow I must start getting some bits together for centre parcs in between DS1's appointments (DS3 is going to have to come with us to them all and he is making it clear that he is not amused, bless he did have to spend 2 2/2 hours at the hospital last week for his appointment).

Evening all

Had a pleasant, if not very productive day. I've S&Sed kitchen, decluttered a £40 vouchers towards a wine order due to arrive tomorrow (for registering with the BBC Good Food website), went shopping with the whole family and visited a friend with DSs.

Oh, and I've just decluttered a huge spider from the LR wall - looks like it's that time of year again. It really does make my stomach turn, but at least I can manage with a plastic bowl and a piece of cardboard. I think I need to put greenbee's suggestion to the test - DS1 has a bag of conkers in his room somewhere. I hope they work.

Having some food now, and then maybe a bit of decluttering in the LR before DH is home. See you all later.

Major panic this morning as it's payday and OH hasn't been paid :eek: meaning we have no money (-£45 in fact) as the direct debit for the rent went out taking what we had left. His boss said it should be clear by 12 and I bloody hope so or I will have a hungry bubba all weekend as I'm running out of formula and I can't express enough for him And we've pretty much eaten everything in the freezer besides veg and the yorkshire puds that have been there since xmas so we'll be hungry too. It'll either be that or get a silly wonga loan or something... Argh do not need the stress.

Will have to do some flying to keep my mind off it this morning...

That'd be love cause we love babies too :j

Crafty don't apologise. I went into the garden yesterday and the fence is now falling down. We knew it would need replacing this winter but thought it would just be the panels not all the supports as well. It now needs doing asap and I'm finding it a bit stressful too. Silly I know but it is the having to do it now rather than when you choose that can put the pressure especially when you know the neighbours are being affected.

Right I need to get DS1 up and get DS3 dressed so we can go to the hospital.

Flying I need to:
hoover and mop downstairs
S&S bathroom/shower room

Start the packing for centre parcs
HHG - leeks and salad
HHP - bank statements/online banking/bills
