Weekly Flylady Thread 30th August 2010

mummyyof5

Sorry,just here to rant

FlUFFING ebay buyers... had a buyer who won 2 Thomas tank tops for 99P...They were washed ,ironed and posted later than I normally would due to my back problems... I kept in touch no problems ...when I posted I added 4 pairs of socks ...in a decent condition although not brand new just as a goodwill gesture due to late postage and she has left the most horrid negative feedback

She said the items were 2 weeks later false it was just a week then posted 1st class..the items were covered in animal fur and smelly...Im a flylady FGS they were clean and I did explain i can only use eco balls due to sons severe excema...so they dont smell of perfumed wash powder...but they dont smell and i sent her dirty old socks..they werent dirty just not brand new...she won £15 worth of hardly worn clothes for 99p Just what do some people want ?????????


Sorry everyone but it has really upset me xxx

Mummyof5 aww try not to take it to heart there are some buyers who will twist on no matter what you do. Put it down to experience not to be too nice in future and move on x

Pigpen you are a menace, think I'd go for whatever food swiping DD doesn't like that you do.

Well that's my last tutor marked assignment gone, just my final exam one to do then 3 months without studying, bliss!

Night night all

Morning

Thanks lil-me. Morning are the worst for me at the moment. I'll be nicely fast asleep and then suddenly my nose'll block up, I can't breathe so I spend half an hour blowing, blowing, blowing and simultaneously cough cough coughing...quite exhausting!

Hence I'm up so early despite not having to go in today.

The problem is there is nothing she won't eat! She has been known to eat bay leaves from the pot and chilli powder!!

Morning everyone.

DS2 had a football friendly last night. It was a long journey in the car but it was a great match and he got an assist. He is delighted as DS1 (who was running the line) over heard the manager stating that DS2 has won his place up front.

I have mountains of ironing to do today.:(

Relations with DH are still frosty. He has apologised but I am really hurt and upset. He was offered tickets for 8 out of 10 cats last night and asked if I wanted to go. It's 7.30 in central London on Football training night. I said I would go if he sorted out the childcare, lifts to training etc. Unsurprisingly he decided it was too much trouble:mad:

I'm still chewing over applying to the council for transport. I know it will be backdated but I have to pay another £475 up front! There is no end to the money I am supposed to magic out of thin air!!!

Taking little ones to school now......

Morning All

I have been awake for hours but haven't done anything yet apart from stripped the bed and stuck the bedding in the WM.

Went out for the day yesterday to Heaton Park so did absolutely nothing as I got up at 7 and we were leaving at 8 and I'd got to do a picnic to take with us.

Anyone joining me for a HHC 8.45 - 9.15?

juliejim

Off I go then.

I've got my bedding in the WM as well - looks like a lovely sunny day here.

Mumto5 - well done to your DS and :mad: for your DH what did he think you were going to do with your (plural) children???

mummyyof5 - hugs. Very glad I have never ventured near ebay

Will you lot either stop talking about lemon drizzle cake or post a link please:)

Hya all,
Hopefully will collect damsons today!!!
Want to try and make Twinks and muesli bars today - never done that before. Also wondering if you all use the same recipe for lemon drizzle cake and where it comes from?
Still got more washing - where does it all come from????? I've done loads and there's still a basketful!
Boddy hugs to you.
Mummyslittleboy hope mum's partner is recovering well.
Hope everyone's day goes well
Cheers
