Weekly Flylady Thread 15th November 2010

Molly41

Hello,
Im not a regular poster on fly ladies but read everyday and am a known lurker :eek::eek:
Please could you give some advice about cleaning very delicate lego models? My youngest son has some very big Star Wars lego that under no circumstances can be dismantled. It was his project last year when he was unwell for 6 months. Its full of dust and so fragile. My DS has asthma so it needs to be cleaned. Thank youx

Also please could someone post me a link to the snow kit that was on last week as I want to put one together for the Kids Dad. Many thanks x

I've done most of the ironing, done some dot-to-dotting, and started on the paperwork

I made an important phone call (that I've been putting off) and may have some good news :j

More paperwork now, with coffee :beer:

Molly41~ I would suggest a small paint brush and flick the dust off, and have the hoover nozzle at the ready to hoover up the dust as you flick it off, or can you turn the hoover down to its lowest setting and hoover the lego?

Boddy, huge hugs for you and your family. I am thinking of you all. I hope everything goes well on Monday. What a lovely song for your mum to have as her favourite.
Lil_me We have had snow!! Not lying on many f the roads but the one from us to DD has been about 2 inches dep so we have been going the long way round. 10 miles instead of 2! There is still snow on the tops of the hills but not enough for skiing yet, much to DS3's diappointment.
He is home safe from sea. Back to college on Monday.
#Ooh penpen, good news!?

We have found out today that our re-mortgage will complete on Monday. Hanging on by the skin of our teeth (again) financially. Then we have an interview next Thursday about a business loan for our holiday cottage

We are praying for no snow as we have to have drilling done for a Ground source heat pump sometime in the next couple of months.

My 135 list is down to 131 already.:j:j

Morning all, so tired. Night 2 of very disturbed sleep and still no tooth. DS2 had a temp in the night and is a bit grotty today so I hope it makes an appearance soon. With DS1 as soon as the first 2 teeth were through he was fine with the rest so I'm hoping the same will happen...and they're so close! So tooth-growing vibes needed!
Also OH has a job interview tomorrow - at the moment he is self employed and earns a good wage, but a large percentage of what he earns goes back into travel/car parking/congestion charge each day. If he gets this new job he'll have a company car and fuel card, and an expenses account, plus he'll get training and get some professional qualifications. So even though it's slightly less money there's job security and benefits there that should make us better off in the long run. I really hope he gets it, we could really use a break on that side of things.

Thankyou thats a really good idea. I could also tie a stocking over the end so as to prevent any little bits escaping unto the hoover. Right I will go and get a brush and get started......
