Weekly Flylady Thread 6th December 2010

Mumof2_2

Well, decorations up and looking nice - the kids did the tree and it's bauble city but thankfully we don't have a cat to worry about! Just sat with DD whilst she did all her Christmas cards, bless her. I've cut my tongue and got a horrible taste of gummy envelopes in my mouth.

I sat with the kids before lunch and we made some decorations for the tree with glitter and so there was glitter everywhere after that but we had fun which is the main thing!

Good news is DH is cooking tea, bless him :A. I had a meltdown at the thought of going down to his Mum's for Christmas with all the family (be 17 including us); I really can't face it so will see what happens.

You lot have all been doing really well with your HHCs etc; really put me to shame. Can't believe so many of you have wrapped your presents too - proper Flyladies aren't you !

Thanks for the info pigpen. I have lots of DK from Age Concern and DD wants something warm and cosy for walking the dog. We still have some very old snoods from late 80s somewhere in this house but they are in bright pink and were knit by my late mum. Not quite what DD wants.
I think I will start knitting and see how long I can make it before Christmas!

In the process of sorting DS's clothes out ready for more arriving in 2 week's time. He was supposed to have sorted his BR out this morning and put all his clothes on my bed - well his BR is still like a pigsty!

I'll go back to it and catch on the last bit of the HHC.

Hi all,

Hugs, spoons and sticks to those in need.

WM x 4
TD x 2

Cats fed and tidied, picked up all the diabetic lancets the kittens managed to scatter round the kitchen.

They were chasing something, dunno what yet.
Weighed them today, bless, 9 months old, non-pedigree puddies and they are 5 kgs each.

Off to do some HHI, laters.
