I need to pick the collective flylady brain - I have a tub of Stork for baking in the fridge that went out of date on 15th Jan, it smells & looks fine, should I use it?

I certainly would use it. We had eyes, noses and common sense long before the Elf'n'Safety police ever came up with sell-by dates!:D

Sorry.... where are my manners.... Hello, Flyfriends!:D

Usual Fred catch-up while I grab lunch.... as mentioned, WM has been on twice already, and I need to to as much of today's and tomorrow's list as I can, as Mr LW is on Earlies, working from home tomorrow. When he finishes, we have to go pick up some meds, and do a raid on Mr T.

Gone very c-c-c-cold again today - I'm in winter clothing, with a big woollen shawl on for good measure, and still I'm shivering! Also, the skin on the sole of my left foot has all cracked open - it's a while since it last did that - so I've got a whacking great plaster on it, and have had a fun time cleaning up bloody footprints.:(

I have a Mensa meeting to go to this evening - it's a while since I've been, as I don't attend the Milton Keynes ones (a few people there I don't get along with, including one who assaulted me once):eek::mad:, and the Northants branch went into hibernation over winter, but are starting up again. I'm really, really nervous;:eek: but Mr LW says we need to attend, as numbers were really down last Autumn, and the Local Secretary was on the verge of resigning, so we have to give him moral support. I've told Mr LW to just park my wheelchair somewhere inconspicuous, get me a beer, and he can take part in the chat!:D

Okayyyyy..... Quorn & onion sandwich has been decluttered, coffee mug is empty, so I'd better grab cleaning cloths, window cleaner and polish, and hop to it..... Hop, so that I don't put my left foot on the ground....:D:D:D

OK everyone for 12.30 HHwhatever lets get to it (a couple of mins late)

It's turned into a beautiful sunny day here, really warm in the sunshine. The washing is almost dry and I've cut the grass back and front and swept up. A poor little (well, medium sized) spider came out of the shed when I was putting the mower away and looked all panicky so I opened the door again and let it back in. I'm not keen on having them indoors but they are very welcome to the shed

It isn't just me then and you aren't that far from me. I have the woodburner on, and I would be ironing for warmth if it was working.
:eek:on the foot, hope it heals quickly.

In my HHC I made lunch for the boy who feels better, cleaned up cat sick, took the recycling out, collected sicky bedsheets for the WM, and aired the playroom.

LittleMissHappy_2

So how did all you 12.30 HHC-ers get on? I

- Deep cleaned downstairs loo (it was :eek: )
- hoovered kitchen rug
- unloaded and reloaded wm
- unloaded and reloaded td
- folded loads of td clothes
- took some clothes upstairs
- stripped bed (that was what I reloaded wm with )
- decluttered lunch

I now need to re-make bed and check the childrens rooms.

:jwoop woop :j I now have a reasonably clean garden!! Just need to pray that the rain stays away so I can get the grass cut on the weekend.

Off to make myself some lunch then I better get ready for work.

Have a good day everyone x

Thought I should try to get organised and do a proper list of what needs to be done so here it goes - this is definitely going to expand over time but I will try to do things on there instead of ignoring them! I've tried to put the time sensitive ones at the top so I don't miss them.

My Toots list:

1. Do the kids part of census form and keep on at DH til he does his (needs to be done by 26th March at latest)
2. Get present for Alex’s christening on 20.3 - see if I can pop down to Mothercare tomorrow evening?
   
3. When DH has decided dates, call and confirm Pip’s booking at kennels
   
4. Call Tescos about the trousers - could drop off on 23.3
5. Wash all skiing stuff (coats/salopettes etc) and put away
6. Start going through the pile of woollen jumpers that need to be washed - do a few each week
7. Put ski helmets into loft
8. Actually start selling stuff instead of just saying about it! Need to take photos and get them listed. First do EasiYo, Birkenstocks and get the signing books on Amazon
9. Get DS to try on shorts - do they still fit now he doesn't wear a nappy (only age 2-3 and he's 4!)
10. Look in extension - is there anything there I can get rid of?
11. Wash car seat covers
12. Vacuum out Bongo and Volvo
13. Get DH to sort out his fleeces
14. Sort out things in attic
15. Sign DH up for MS jobs (React, Tern etc) – done BARE
16. Wash winter coats once it's a bit warmer
17. DH to get rid of swing in garden - it's too small
18. Are we having climbing frame from Chrissie? Check with DH
19. Trim the escalonia
20. Decide about garden; are we going to have veg patch or is it just too hard with the chooks?
21. Clear out back garden porch
22. Take hardboard to Uncle David
23. See if there's any more outgrown toys I can pass on to nursery/charity shop
24. Keep knitting my jacket - I'd like to wear it this spring time rather than next year!
