Weekly Flylady Thread 4th October 2010

Triker

Hubby finished off painting the walls in the bedroom and myself and DD2 cleared the bathroom in readiness for us taking down the ceiling before it falls down.:eek:

I bought an aldi car stereo and had it fitted, really pleased, got my radio 4 back.:D

Tea in oven, southern fried chicken.

Replaced our toothbrushes with new ones from home bargains.
binned a binbag full of stuff I will not use from the bathroom.

Swept, washed and disinfected the garden path from pooing chickens.

Found cat worming tablets...:rotfl: so cat will be done later and then let out for the night.;)

DW and wm been in action again.

Treated DD2 to some money for psp games as she does'nt want to go to the local fair and I'm so relieved and pleased because it costs a blooming fortune.

May head to the pub but I'm really tired so may not.

Still got a lot of batch cooking to do.

nattyt huge squishy (((hugs))) so sorry to hear that honey - well maybe its better you found out now rather than after you got back together - it would seem IMHO that you are better off without him - hard as it seems just now - I am sure you will do better for you and the children - dont let him mess you around.

Thank you. After speaking to him today the truth has come out and I actually feel better knowing as can now move on. He's been seeing her not just a couple of dates. This is my time now and the only way is UP!

Done some ironing today and put bit and bobs away but house looking good as this flylady business has transformed it!!:T

Big hugs to all in need. ONE LIFE LIVE IT!

Learning to crochet!!! I can knit, but wanted to have a go at crochet... not sure if they let knitting needles in cabin baggage on planes, so perhaps they'll let me bring a crochet needle... not sure, I'll have to check up.
Anyway, in spite of good intentions re DD1's boxes, I never got near them. I spent the afternoon using up all our veg etc in soups and casseroles so they don't go off while we're away, and therefore be totally wasted.
Did my dailies though so I feel like a good girl!
Off to an evening wedding reception at 7.30 outside, at a farm, on a dreich day. Poor bride. Still, I'm sure it will be jolly. Lots of old friends to catch up with.
Night night everyone, and hugs to those who need them. x

Oooh and the big news is I've asked my friend if she can clean for me, so I can get on with decluttering. She's struggling financially at the mo, looking for more work hours, so I can pay her, carry on with the other stuff and she gets some more work.

Hopefully that way it means that I won't spend my precious time at weekends playing constant catch up.

Next week we'll know for sure if she can do it as she may have another job but fingers crossed.

My Summer stuff has been seperated to go in a suitcase under the bed, a pile of stuff is upstairs is on the bed waiting to be tried on, some has been 'charity-bagged' and the rest is being ironed, hung up and put away... :T

Then decide what currys to make from it.

Also going to home dye myhair as I'm bored of being reddish.

Also have a lot of eggs to use up so need to get my baking head on....mmm what are we in the mood for?
