Weekly Flylady Thread 31st October 2011

LameWolf

Just back from the supermarket..... plastic box containing a large bar of fruit'n'nut choc, a couple of sachets of tomato'n'basil soup and a small supply of green tea bags has now been put in the car.;) Great idea to get all this sorted now, as we usually get America's weather when they've finished with it, and they've had some atrocious weather of late!:eek:

My renewed passport has arrived - talk about quick! I only applied for it a couple of days ago.:D I realise with some horror that I have no-one I can put down to contact in the event of accident; Mr LW would of course be travelling with me if I was abroad, and I simply don't have anyone else to nominate.:(

Preparing for Winter Challenges:snow_grin


Wednesday Potions and Pills
Collect together all the suncream, aftersun, insect repellent from bags, window ledges, cars and either store good ones or bin dregs (or check you have enough and pack them for those going on holiday). Check your supplies of medicines, pain relief, decongestants, tissues etc. Check dates on items not used for a while like inhalers. Request repeat prescriptions now if necessary.

Get your car ready for winter so that if you should get caught in the snow or break down you are prepared. Here is a great guide for what you could do.

Well I survived another 6 hr day back has totally gone though, so just done some yoga stretches which has eased it a little. Just waiting for DD1 then we're going out...looking forward to it cos she's driving and has a car with a radio I'm gonna do the most sinful of things which is go to Asda without a list :eek: thing is, I CBA to copy my list over onto paper, but I can't be bothered to think of what I need either.....dangerous....and total stupidity as I'm likely to come back with 24 tins of cat food and little else. Hu hum....it's good to live dangerously now and again haha.

He hasn't, this time around, as yet; (he got his passport renewed a few months ago).

His old one had both his sisters as contacts; however, one died last year, and I've never met the other, as she decided she didn't like me without ever having met me.:(
