Weekly Flylady Thread 13th May 2013

Tights purchased so that's another box ticked just need to get turquoise ribbon and cerise leg warmers and probably ribbon that colour too but I think I will be able to get that up the street tomorrow. Next job is to redo to elastic on DDs highland blouse I think if I take it off as its cutting into her she might get away with it for the three nights at the show. Seems a waste to buy a new one now as it won't be needed again till February and she will probably take a stretch before then.
Off for my nap!

took slightly longer than HHC but cushion is now finished. thats another one for the christmas pressie box.

FFP, if you cant find the ribbon, post in the thread with width etc you need and ill have a look through my stash, im sure theres a bag of ribbon in there.

FFP.. I'd be less worried now, if he has been arrested.. they will be searching his house etc and looking for other stuff.

Ditto this also ensure she has strategies when walking home (alone or in groups) eg not to go home if she has a key and may be letting herself into empty house - have possible other 'destinations' where there are other people eg shops; if she thinks she's being followed to cross roads etc. You could maybe contact police - our force gives out keyring rape alarms - they are REALLY noisy - in a way its better to have discussed strategies and options with them along the lines of 'what would you do if...' as they are then better equipped to deal with problems and have some life skills and street awareness. One other thing is if they are walking in groups to be together but to be quiet and aware, rather than nattering and not focussed on where they are and who is around them.

Beeen very busy but have had washing out (bedding) on line and it's dry...off for a shower shortly.

There is chaos on the M62 apparently! I hope Piggers has avoided it!

Sleep nil But DDs hair boxes sorted, DS2 kicked out to the pictures with his pals and DD out in the yard playing with her pal. Must think about getting dinner on. Need to think what I want to make first:o
Will get the washing in as the dinner is cooking then I can contemplate not ironing it

Piggers if you loose the heed with inlaws don't worry, it's long over due anyway;)

Mrs Moneypenny that's brilliant thanks I will let you know how I get on tomorrow. Love the cushion poppies are my absolute favourite. I've lost my stitchy bug atm. I think you've just gave me the incentive to get my UFO out and get on with it. Might try out my new floor standing frame too that I picked up at the charity shop for £5

Eta Valli thanks for that I will be having a talk with her x and feel free to report me to the police I could be doing with a wee rest and cornton vale is as food as anywhere and free!

Very pretty Mrs Moneypenny - the cushion I mean. You posted the ribbon pic as I was posting.

Most of the dining room carpet has been washed as well as several more stairs, 1 x WM and various rooms have had the vacuum cleaner whizzed around them. Dog's things have finally made it to the attic so I don't have to keep seeing them, and my offer to loan a friend the older breadmaker has been taken up. Moneysaving decluttering.

piles of files and papers that have been clogging up the landing for 2 weeks are now neatly staked in spare room awaiting DD testing them out on eblay

Mrs Moneypenny I've inboxed you pal x

Washing in, went over the yard and had a coffee with a friend and had a natter made me feel much better.
Just waiting for DS2 calling for his personal taxi service!
I really just want a sleep I feel washed out for no reason. I've just remembered that DD has a birthday party to go to tomorrow afternoon so that should be fun, not! At least it's a couple of hours after the dancing finishes so I won't have to rush like normal.
A wee watch of dr who then I might do the ironing, might mind!

Evening all

Got round to a bit of flying today so house is looking a bit better. Managed to reply to a few emails too, still oodles to deal with so I'll do some more in a bit.

Just making a cuppa then I need to do a HH to get the kitchen straight and a bit of ironing too.

DS3 has a corker of a shiner from being hit just above the eye by a ball the other day. Need to get him to bed soon as he is shattered after SATs week.

Hope Piggers has not let rip with passenger road rage on the M62
