Christmas Flylady Thread 24th December 2012

Dustykitten

Cabin fever and over tiredness set in at teh Dusty abode.

Teenagers both off to work in the next hour, I'll drop one and have an hour in town, few errands to run and dry cleaning to collect.

All kids beds stripped mattresses turned and generally remade, need one more duvet cover to dry.

Fridge emptied of stuff to use up today and a tiny bit to bin (did very well there).

Oh and surprisingly it is raining, who'd have thought it.

have caught up with the thread now - sorry to hear your news Bossy - as Dusty said, go with what feels right. (((hugs)))

Phew - chillax time.

Postman has been this morning with a rather strange item. It's a prepaid credit card from Citi/Siemens. I bought an Siemens 8kg TD in November and there was a cashback of £75 which I submitted. The blurb said I should receive c/b by mid-Jan. Anyhow, I was expecting a cheque for this, so I am quite surprised that a prepaid c/card has arrived. There's the usual T&C's with it, but nothing to say that the card contains £75 loaded onto it. I need to do some shopping today for the guests that are about to arrive, so I think I may chance it (taking my usual debit card too for backup) and try and purchase my goods with it. Has anyone else had this happen to them before? What is really strange is that I am a discharged Bankrupt (almost 5 years now) and wouldn't have expected anyone to be offering these things to me yet. Goes to show the negligence of the banking system. I'll be posting this on the BR Thread too and see if this is usual, but just wanted to share this. Sorry for boring you all with this, but it is most peculiar.

Anyhow, back to the lists. House is looking B-E-A-U-T-I--F-U-L.

Just waiting on various rounds of WM and TD to finish and I'm straight. Gonna see what else I can get up-to-date on:-

[STRIKE]Make a note of when the binmen are coming!![/STRIKE]TOMORROW - ALL OUT
Delete some emails, old links
When is everyone back to school????????? 8th DS, ?? DD
Wash coats ready for back to school and find any homework/bags/P.E. kit.
Meal plan and shopping list today
Ring the LogMan re delivery
Relax!!!

Wow - woke up groggy and cluttered, but my karma is now returning.

Have a lovely afternoon ladies - HH cuppa and relax time - please join me

truly, someone gave SS one of those pre-loaded credit cards for christmas a few years ago which he sold to me because he wanted the cash. It had £20 on and it can be used anywhere supposedly but I couldn't online, must admit the sales people in Lush really struggled with it. It isn't a credit card as such, just a pre loaded gift card that goes into credit card machines. HTH

All listy for today is done, so time for a cuppa and mince pie. If it stops raining, I'll take the dogs for another walk, other than that it is all me me me time.

Bossymoo - hugs - I concur - go with what feels right!

Yesterday I felt yeuch! Couldn't pin it down ( well I have a cough) but bleugh was fairly appropriate. Gave in at 8pm and went to bed. Surprisingly I slept like a baby - and I do feel better today (which given that I'm going to my mums on Weds is good news!). Have been having a quiet day reading but am now going to brave the ironing....

Bossy I'm so sorry for your loss; it's never easy, is it, even when you know she was hurting. Sleep well, granny.

Daisy Dog has left, so we're dogless for the foreseeable future. I shall await an email saying another pooch wants a holiday.;)
