Weekly Flylady Thread 25th April 2011

Hello flypeeps, thanks to Pigpen, Toots and AsboToots for the thread, esp. Piggers for the kind list. I'm back in, have been under the weather a bit but am struggling back to my feet now. I had a lovely birthday, the christening went well despite the baby's Mum having lost her Dad the week before and DS1s birthday went well too. DS2 back to school today, t'others tomorrow so a short week for me this week.

Cold and overcast today but need to get on and do some planting as I have lots of plants that need to be stuck in the ground/pots before they die...

Once they're planted I can go shopping for the other stuff I've identified a need for This includes a few roses and possibly a honeysuckle or wisteria. If we have decent weather for the rest of this week I hope to make a lot of progress with the garden.

kazw - you'll just have to walk tomorrow

QUESTION:
how do you descale an iron??

have done kitchen S&S while everyone else was in bed and while boy has been decluttering his own bodyweight in porridge. Got 2 wet loads ready to get on line and about to get another in the wm. Boy now sitting with his daddy having a bowl of hoops. We're trying to night-wean him, and are 2 nights down so I didn't get a lot of sleep what with a wailing boy in bed with me - the big one decided to creep in as well at 2 am, so DH decluttered himself to her empty bed to get some kip and left me to it.

I am having a panic:eek:, huddy has offered to pay for me to have driving lessons in the hopes i might pass by next august when im 30, i was having lessons a fewq years ago and hated it and got upset and paniced before every lesson...but if i planning on going back to work when youngest goes to school and doing courses with the OU is suposed to help me get a better job ill need to be able to travel out of the village so it makes sense, anyone else a nervous driver or got any advise for me?

I had three goes at learning (many, many years ago) I think the real secret is the instructor. How much of a choice do you have and can you get recommendations from others? I finally got the name of an instructor with a good track record with nervous learners.

ETA pigpen - squeak is gorgeous and I can't believe how much she has grown.
