After 5 years together and a 4 year engagement it wasn't quite hasty..

I'm not surprised you managed to organise it all in 7 weeks then!

Greenbee I can't find that recipe for green speed soup - can you post it please?

Wasn't me, sorry...

DW emptied and refilled. Evidence of last night's meal dealt with. Been to massage. It's raining and grey and horrid here. I've got one bit of scheduled work to do next, then need to use the time productively between then and my 3pm meeting... some work and some flying hopefully. And maybe a bit of exercise.

We got a tax return of £500ish so I went and booked it.. Bear in mind I was also 34 weeks pregnant when I got married!

Cuppa decluttered..children declutteed toschool.. off to Mr T's, PCWorld and Pets at Home.. I want to sleep already!

oops my mistake!

Can anyone offer any advice? I have a steam generator iron - i love it to bits but i have a problem...... I live in a hard water area. I do descale the removable thing regularly, but last week I was getting virtually no pressure when the iron was horizontal!

All descaler products have to be run through when the iron is off - but you can't do that witha steam generator.

Any ideas fellow flyladies?

Good morning all, hope you are all well.

WM and TD on.
Little bit of ironing done this morning.
HHE on the wii fit plus done and a healthy brunch scoffed.

Awaiting freecycler to come and take a load of stuff.

Need to find a list and see what I can get on with before work....xx

(cuppa first though!!!)

Firsty I'd like to thank people for the warm welcome to Flylady thread. Now I've seen how the week works I'll be more organised next week...and start to fall into Flylady rhythm which makes more sense than my own I think.

Although I can't offer any help with the descaling I would be sourcing a supply of distilled water if it were mine.
