Weekly Flylady Thread 17th January 2011

Valli

mojo found and four NEW items listed on fleabay (as opposed to relisting unsold stuff)
have also got stash of stuff to relist when it's free (since stuff takes an age to sell I cannot afford to pay to list) and some stuff coming from mums to list (I get to keep the dosh) including the hat I wore to my sister's wedding.

Of the items I have listed recently I will have 1 sale - but better than nowt!

Good evening!

What a manic manic day... My sisters car broke down again - after the garage were supposed to have fixed it - cue whole load of running around and dropping her back and forth. Hopefully it will be sorted shortly though.

We took it to a different garage from the one that tried to rip us off, and they didnt seem to think it was a big deal, so not sure what the other garage's problem was apart from being greedy con-men!

Have had a small op on my arm but it was deep and its thoroughly aching now and has gone black..... its proper aching and throbbing....

Off to have a look at the list - but may just give up and go to bed cos tomorrows another day.... xx

My ironing however is done..... my lady called me and told me

Just a warning...

I had someone try to use my bank card at the end of last year. It has now been announced that Lush Ltd the natural cosmetics company has had a problem and during Oct and Jan several of its customers (including me) had their bank details hacked.

If you made an order please make sure you check your accounts carefully and/or contact your bank.

Mrs_B - Love the picture that puppydawg is GORGEOUS!!! What flavour of puppy is (s)he?
Soooo pretty

That puppydawgus Tigger is a 6-ish year old border collie - not looking at his handsome best in that photo, but obviously we needed special double Tigger birthday wishes for Pooh. :T

I have baked lots (not really flying) but have done all the washing up afterwards - manky cake tins, chocolate saucepans, flapjacked baking trays - all dripping nicely on the draining board. Just off to make tomorrow's sandwiches before tomorrow. :eek:

Yeah, quite worrying Seafarers,

I was very lucky as my bank noticed it was an unusual transaction and declined it, contacted me and I was able to stop any money being taken. Def worth having all the 'free' text services in place.

However, thinking about it, I can totally see how matching colours could become a habit! Almost looking forward to doing some more washing to see if it's going to get the better of me...:D

I was firmly in the 'I dont match my pegs' camp until one day I hung out a load on the line and completely subconciously had matched all my pegs...

Valli was impressed. I was scared. :rotfl:

I havent hung a load out since I-dont-know-when, so am not sure whether I am convert or not, but still believe I do not match pegs.

Jo hope you get sis's car fixed properly this time - what a bloomin nuisance. I am sorry to hear you had had an op on your arm honey - I hope you have some strong painkillers so that you can sleep - you take it easy and give it a chance to heal properly - huge squishy hugs and lots of love xxx

This is the only bit I managed today as been a sofa day feeling pale and wan. Stilll, every bit counts.

Very proud to announce I've just done a bit more decluttering ..... 7 Ferrero Rochers . Only trouble is they should have been eaten by last July (DH had hidden them) so they weren't quite as nice as usual but hey, I'm not complaining.

Off to bed now as haven't stopped all day. Catch you all tomorrow - sleep tight!!!
