Weekly Flylady Thread 1st October 2012

LameWolf

Dave's gone home now; he was picked up about an hour ago, so I need to get a spot of Flying done now, as Bailey and Cassie will be arriving midday on Tuesday.:D These are new dogs to me; apparently Bailey is a 12 year old collie (don't know whether border or Lassie-type) and Cassie is a 6 year old crossbreed, which could mean anything!:D

We aim to please!

Well I've sorted my paperwork, feeling very virtuous. All filed, shredded, recycled as appropriate. Have taken out all DHs stuff ready to go in loft with the other things I'm keeping safe. I've eaten the frog that my solicitor asked me to do back in January, which is write down about the inheritance tax, and how his allowance can be passed to me as all was either in joint names or came directly to me, therefore IHT free. So all that is done and stored with my will, along with the notes of where the children's money is! In case I depart this mortal coil any time soon...

Next job is have a quick look at my new budget, and put my cash in separate purses. Have been a bit happŷ with the plastic lately so am going to stick to cash for a while and rein in the spending. So, I have a purse for groceries, a purse for my every day stuff, and a purse for treats for us, soft play and snacks out etc.

Feeling very organised!

Congrats on the arrival of your cousin amyloofoo

Hi everyone. I didn't manage to get on yesterday - was very busy having fun and baking cakes! Just did the daily type stuff.

Today I have taken my car for a service and MOT and I need to go and pick it up later when it is done. I will also then pop into the shop and buy some food for dinner. I am making a meal from Jamie's 30 min meals and an apple crumble for pudding. I like to make a special effort on a Friday to make OH and I feel better about staying in. It seems that most friends our age (late 20s) are always out drinking on a Friday but we are trying to save money.

Earlier I made a carrot and parsnip soup that will do for lunches tomorrow and Sunday as well. Whilst that was cooking I wiped out the fridge.

Now I will get on with the lists before I need to pick up my car and do the food shop.

My extras for the week:
Pick top 3 wedding venues to view
[STRIKE]Get friend's address and post card[/STRIKE]
Put away summer shoes and dig out winter boots + clean / polish
[STRIKE]Batch cook soup for lunches[/STRIKE]
Consider selling on ebay (read about how!)

Beds stripped, bedding washed and first lot now ironed and airing on maiden.
Took DD to docs, Unfortunately we were 24 hours late - my fault and I feel awful about wasting NHS resources must have not had my appointments head screwed on.:o

Other than that though everywhere is cleaned and tidied; I need to go through my work stuff now and deal with paperwork.

Thanks for all your feedback... He is sensible and I knew he wouldnt do anything stupid! He would either slob around watching TV or playing on his computer... And I do let him get the bus from my brothers to school etc when he has had to in the past! And as you rightly point out that is a lot less safe than being at home! But it just FEELS not right... :rotfl: To me he is still a baby!

Anyway, I collected him from my aunty on the way home from Uni and I left him for 10 minutes while I popped along to the shop for Electric....he immediately plonked himself in front of the TV and he was in the same position when I came back as he had been when I left!! Me... Stressed?? :cool:

Anyway, I have

• refilled the WM
• closed all the windows and wiped sills. (Temperature is meant to drop and FROST is forecast for tonight )
• Spuds and cauliflower peeled/chopped and in pots!

Thats about it so far!

Off to collect my Nephew again then will sort out the bathroom when I get back, whilst tea is cooking!

Laters xx

Well, I have been "baby" this afternoon, with DS being dad and DD being mum. She was horrible to her baby, telling me to stop crying and sit on the step. DS was lovely, brought me "cup of tea" and gave me his dinosaur as a present. He said they were going to work and I could get my own dinner, lol.

Valli

Loving the tales - keep them coming.

If anyone wants a cravendale straw code I have one I won't use.
