Weekly Flylady Thread 15th August 2011

LameWolf

Hello all;

I'm late getting online again today; I'm afraid Ted and I have been decluttering zzzzzs.:rotfl: And I have a cold; it's official.:( *snuffle, cough*

Wendywitch I'm going to offer you Congratulations, because we did this for Mr LW's pal when he got his Decree Absolute, and he was pleased.:o I agree about changing your name by Deed Poll; the only reason I didn't do this after my divorce was that Mr LW and I were getting married three months later, so we felt it wasn't worth the hassle and expense.:money:

However - I spent my childhood eating these from the bush, unwashed. I would never eat any grown by the side of a road or low down on a bush BUT I ate plenty unwashed and never knew, until I was older, that they could have grubs in. I have lived to tell the tale.

(And even now I still eat them straight from the bush...:p)

Fwiw, I have a rule never to pick from lower than the level at which a large dog can c0ck his leg.:rotfl:

Ooooh you do sound horrible

Having experienced an aggressive response to a simple question/comment I made on another thread (I was only just past 'newbie' stage and it quite upset me at the time)... and I am incredibly nosey ... I took a quick peek at the your 'accuser' as well as other posters there and I am amazed at how nasty people can get, very quickly, for no reason!! There seem to be many bitter people who can turn a thread into an opportunity for themselves to air a grievance only tenuously related to the original question. I've even seem some overly blunt and downright rude responses to newbies who still have their 'be nice' icons. Unbelievable.

This is precisely why I tend to stick only to the Old Style board, with the very occasional foray into Disability & Dosh. I can't be 'avin' with rude people, I'm far too easily upset.:o

Ooh, I meant to mention - for anyone who is familiar with Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" books - Mr LW and I reckon Ted would make an excellent Gaspode The Wonder Dog! "Woof, bloody woof!!":rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

OK, jollity (and lunchtime) over, I'd better go list-hunting. Kitchen today I believe?:o *flips to Post #1*

I'm in this week. I have 15 days til the ex boyfriend / boyfriend or whatever he is comes down. The EXHUSBAND (I am fully divorced now and have done the papers for deed poll so I can go back to my maiden name! :j ) should be going back to court on the 1st September but neither me or the BF have heard whether we have to go so he's coming down just in case.

You dont need to do that.. you take your absolute in to wherever you want to change your name and tell them you are using your maiden name from now and they change it.. your maiden name is still your name it always has been.. dont be conned out of money unnecessarily!!!!!!

okay okay I've been MIA for a while. But do you know what.... My house just doesnt get clean without you guys in my little life.

I told Cat (Hi Cat :wave:) today that that I'd be back on Monday but I've decided that was just another housework avoidance tactic so I'm back today, so what if I'm a day late perhaps I'll even catch up?? *cough* yeah right *cough* hey I gotta start somewhere

Now to step away from the facebook and find the list!
