Morning all.

I have ordered a new paddle for my BM this morning. It fell on the element in the DW and melted. It's a tiny thing and they charge £4.09 postage and packaging. What a con!

Meal plan for the month done and now I am off to Mr T to declutter a large sum of money.

New pin no has arrived for my bank account so I can stop panicking about not being able to buy anyone a drink at the party on Saturday night.

WM x 2, TD x 2, DW unloaded and reloaded.

Jue - hope you are ok. Don't freeze in your pj's it's very cold out there.

Shysarah - Hope you have a good day

WM x 2, TD x 2, DW unloaded and reloaded.

Ooooops
Just read on the 'how to get through' forum (that I just found this morning) that posting in red and using capitals are the equivalent of shouting at somebody. I wasn't shouting shysarah, I was just seriously wishing you well,
I'll try to do better in future!!
Hope everything is going as well as possible for everyone, Silver x

The physiotherapist has just been and gone through a load of exercises to do during the day, some for lying down (to help me get back up and mobile) some whilst sitting and some for in the kitchen (using the work top for support) so I'm going to be adding those to my dailies :eek:

The house is looking very tidy and takes the minimum amount of effort to keep that way, I love it when you've been a VERY good flylady and all the hard work pays off but I do have a tendency to get a teeny bit OCD about it all but of course none of it would be possible without the consistent hard work of Pigpen, Toots et al and the support and camaraderie of all you lovely flypeeps.


Here's a list of extra stuff to do, not exactly a spring cleaning list and not really a Toots list but inspired by both;

1. Start doing exercises
2. Photocopy recipes from GF mag and return to NF
3. Bake fairtrade cakes for big brew on Saturday
4. Take glass to bottle bank
5. Sort out garage and get out the shelf unit for beach hut
6. Take teapot, shelves and camping stove to beach hut
7. Finish Amelia's cardigan
8. Buy 2 birthday cards for DS2 parties and make sure have £5s to put in and card for Paddy
9. Collect photos from shop and buy cards to put some in.
10. Buy shampoo and conditioner (need B**ts)
11. Buy spring flowers for kitchen windowsill pots
12. Collect DDs glasses from VE
13. Paint LR window frame
14. Buy material and make sewing table cover
15. Write letter to BS, LS and MM
