Weekly Flylady Thread 16th May 2011

Just wanted to stop by and say hi.

Thank you again to everyone who offered support when MoneySavingDiva died.

I just wanted to say how touched I was to see that Sonja is still being spoken of and remembered here in the weekly threads.

I know there is a small band of us who still light candles (two days goes by very quickly!). If you have lost the link you can get to it via https://www.sonjaecampell.co.uk

Best wishes and thank you again.

My clothes pegs have all mysteriously disappeared and I've no idea where they are. Valli, in your expert opinion, should I get all the same colour pegs so I never need to worry about any not matching or is that just cheating?

Pizza decluttered whilst we watched some of my Take That DVD - double yummy
Kids in bed

I have been busy ebaying and between yest and today I have 78 items listed and there is still tomorrow - but I am seriously running out of my own stuff!!!! I still have some things to do for someone but I am struggling just at the moment after the move and until the flat sells so I am concentrating on my ebay things!

going to chill for a while before bed

Hello Ian thats nice of you to pop by. We will hold Diva in our hearts always. Take good care of yourself (((hugs)))

good evening
Just caught up on the fred.
Pigpen - 'That baby' is perfect

What is this thing called 'rain' so many of you speak of? Sounds like witchcraft!! :rotfl::rotfl:We have hardly had any rain for months now. I would be doing a rain dance, but I am STILL waiting for someone to come & look at my roof :mad:

I haven't done much flying DH took the kids camping yesterday, so after work I went to meet them & we went out for dinner (it was massive!! Not good for WW )
Got up early this morning, loaded WM & DW, fed the animals & had breakfast on the patio. Then went to art & actually put some paint on paper When I got home DD1 was home! Wasn't expecting her as she is at uni, so that was a nice surprise
Went to meet the others at the campsite with the dog, so he has had plenty of walks/swims today. Had a good family day, but not much done here. There is always tomorrow

Hugs, spoons & posi vibes to all that need them

Thanks for stopping by Ian, sending you love

Bathroom all cleaned, I'm on a right mission at the moment, going to do some paperwork now and start a master plan for the next few months. I've almost finished May's main tasks so a bit of concentration needed this next week to try to squeeze them in.

DD doesn't need glasses :j and having the eye test means one fewer to be completed when she sees the opthalmologist (or whoever it is in the eye department that they are sending her too).

We saw a lady with an obvious mental disability have a panic attack whilst waiting, which was horrible for her (she was so distressed), but had the 'advantage' of DD seeing it and hopefully learning through it, so she won't react negatively if someone else has one around her in the future.

Got collared for a black linen dress from the charity shop. Looked very girly, but I have reassured her that with the correct adjustments, she will still look suitably Gothy.

Dragged her round the supermarket, but couldn't bring myself to pay their prices for meat and veg when I have a market so close - I shall go there in the week, as it is just too crowded of a Saturday afternoon.

Came back, put shopping away, WM x1, rescued nose stud from the trap underneath the shower room sink (and put it in to sterilise), watered garden before it spontaneously combusted, had cuppa and went back out to get spare stud (as borrowing a pink sparkly ear stud was ridiculous) and - shock - her first bras.

If I didn't notice her scoliosis and rib cage deformity much before, I do now - she measured a 28AA (doing it the proper way, adding 4" to her rib measurement), but in order for it to go round her back, had to get a 32AA and one strap is an inch shorter than the other. Got her 2 white ones for school and 2 others for weekends. Cost me a flaming fortune - but she is happy. Even when I pointed out that whilst she may call mine over the shoulder boulder holders, hers are more pebble pockets :rotfl:

Stuffed our faces on prawn salad and baguette. Sunday dinner is apparently smoked salmon & new potato salad - which is easy for me

Now she's watching cpra on TV and I am relaxing (as usual) upstairs.

[looks out at washing line]

Nope, Valli, my pegs appear to be - cough - inadvertently matched too. It's perfectly normal to do so. [looks a bit shifty and changes the subject]

Squeak looks like Minion did - gorgeous!
