Weekly Flylady Thread 28th February 2011

Afternoon

Well I've read the OFSTED Report for the school and it does not make good reading in some parts and, backs up my concerns I had about the school. I have visited another school this morning [planned visit that was booked a month ago] and the difference is staggering, so much so that I can't actually believe it!! I have booked for DS to go there for a visit for the morning on Friday to see what he thinks but I'm really hoping that he likes it. The new school OFTED report was "outstanding" and they are hoping to achieve the same again soon and they have done lots more than needed to retain that status. Fingers crossed.

I'm waiting for the email today about DD's school for September

Flying - decluttered a visit to the Dentist and have another next week to go to

Welcome to all the new people

Love and hugs to all

Back in from work, been to Sainsburys for small food shop (it's on the way home) made my dinner, put shopping away, made a brew and now here I am.

I've checked my emails (thanks cyclingyorkie x) and the council website, it says they post letters out today 2nd class....how very archaic.:mad:..so don't think I'll be getting an email today BOO!

Top news AnW'smum :T

Aaaaanyway will fling the hoover about now while I have a mini-rant to myself lol

Budgetboo makes you wanna scream doesn't it......you could try a cheap pedal bin and gaffa tape the flip lid down so he can't get in?

Welcome to the thread M0neysav3r I have sent you a pm with some tips. You can do your own list or do the lists that appear on post 1 - most of us find it easier to concentrate on 1 room per day plus dailies.

and who ever it was with the poorly finger, keep an eye on it.... My mother once suggested taping a condom :eek: over a baddy finger with a cut. So it stayed sterile - not sure I'd recommend it though :rotfl:

Novel idea.:D Just thought.... my mother would have had an attack of the vapours if anyone had even said the word "condom" in her hearing.:rotfl:

I'll see what I can do with today's list (some is done already) but I really do need to give priority to the baking.:o

I have been to MrT's and have done some batch cooking of stew, mice and chicken to put in Grans freezer :A

not sure I have enough tubs to put it all in mind you :rotfl:

Phoned her Doc to let them know, says to stop using the muscle relaxant pills she got when she fell last week, so we shall see if it makes a difference to her doziness/dizziness:cool:

My hair is blonder and shorter! I like it but it's going to take a bit of getting used to.

Well that was a morning spent doing not alot. DH has actually taken a day off sick and I don't think he has ever done this in 17 years of marriage. The Manflu diagnosis is confirmed and he has peniciillin the exact same as DS2 had for his tonsillitus the other week. DH is not impressed as DS is 12 and he is 49 and 51 weeks!

Hair all swept up from the kitchen floor.......see I have been flying today
