Weekly Flylady Thread 6th September 2010

Valli

I now have a spotless computer!
so all done...the lot...and it's beautifully sunny here (sorry!) and my washing is drying in the breezy sunshine.
I have to go to town shortly but have just had (leftovers) lunch first (then I won't be tempted;)) so I cleared out my handbag while I waited - it was desperate. I've been carrying two purses! No money just two purses. And I have 3 £5 Boots vouchers to spend on No 7;)
So my cunning plan is to have two of the same lippy, one in my bag and one in my make up bag, for top ups but I'll see. It's my friend's birthday this week so I need to buy her gift, too. And a card...

Afternoon all

Having a well earned cuppa after being on the go all morning. Boys all at different sports/locations this morning and now all at different ones (apart from DS2 all day squash) ones!

PenPen - DS3 was in goal this morning and the lost 7-1 - he is not a happy bunny so can take that out on a squash ball for 2 hours now.

Did quite a bit of flying before I went. I want to get some more done this afternoon as the weather forcast for tomorrow is good so hope to get a load of outside jobs done then.

Fingers crossed please for DS1 who is playing in the junior golf final at the club today. The boy he is against has a 9 stroke advantage so it is a tall order.

Ok - back from football training. LO has a 9.30 game tomorrow, which means no lie in for me - again (dont I deserve a lie in, ever???) but the good thing is the game is out of the way early in the morning rather than taking up my whole day!

Suppose I best get on and then I will treat myself to a sit down and a cuppa whilst catching up with the thread (that can be my HH!)

Love hugs vibes etc all round xx

Penelope ..... tis always upsetting when they lose, our DS team were bottom of the league last year, they only ever won 1 game, bless them (under 10s). Hope they win their next game xx

Jo, GL for your footie game tomorrow too xx

Our Sunday game is a cup game so fingers and toes all crossed here, although laddie has come home from training with a sprained wrist (he's GK) .

Going to tackle his room today as I got waylaid yesterday what with docs, visiting friend and osteopath (which went really well, very pleased with first session results ).

I'm going to have to be ruthless on his room, there'll be a few bags for freecycle, a few for the dustbin and hopefully a few things going on Ebay to earn him some pennies.

We we're going to the town show today but it's raining so we've decided to stay in instead - probably only end up spending money I'm trying to save anyway so I'm not too bothered. We'll do something nice (and free!) tomorrow pm :money:- have NT membership so might pop off somewhere after lunch.

Edit: GOOD LUCK FOR THE GOLF DUSTYKITTEN !!! XXXX

Hi everyone,
