Weekly Flylady Thread 10th June 2013

Hi All :wave:

I am still here, just lurking in the background, still not found my GUAG yet cannot seem to get back in the flying zone. I have meal planned for 4 weeks & done the list for the monthly shop. DH has finally had word this week, he starts with his new company on 29th July, we are on holiday 2 weeks before so its worked out nicely.

We are going to Lake Windermere for a week & then to Legoland Windsor (3 nights in hotel, 2 days in park). We may go sww Windsor Castle seeing as we are that far down as its around an 8 hour drive back home :eek:. Can any of you recommend not too expensive things to do around the lakes, I have looked at tree tops/go ape & it seems pretty expensive. We won't be taking bikes as we are heading to the big city after the lakes, plan on just chilling & doing a few walks etc with kids but there is only so much "boring" stuff they will do. I have also looked up a crafty centre which is ideal for a rainy day, think its called crafty monkeys?

I have a cheek to post my list but here it is

Well the answer is - we still don't know......

We were fully expecting to find out today, but instead they had some sort of meeting where more details were given....

O/H's reaction - 'It's carnage'......... doesn't bode well.

Will know more when he gets home tonight.

Away to Manchester tomorrow - mum's 'do' on Saturday.... not really in the mood.

Ofsted seems to be going well....

Hi everyone:wave:

We have moved! Yesterday I cleaned our old house from top to bottom and today the new house (which was left nice and clean but a bit musty - opening the doors and windows has cured that) is piled high with boxes. We clearly still have far too much stuff!

I have even weeded part of the front garden today whilst directing unloading operations

Now I am exhausted... But happy to be here

Hope you are soon settled in your new home....

Not knowing - and waiting...and waiting...is awful

Anyway, been to former colleagues, we've been out to lunch and had a natter. Brought washing in (not quite dry but hey) before I went. Ace decision - we've had thunder and lightning:eek: so (channelling Pollyanna as per) I can be glad that my currants, and spuds, and strawberries and rhubarb have had a thorough watering! I can be glad I brought the washing in too! DD requested 'hot pot'. This is meat, carrots and onions under sliced spuds when I do it, basically! Meat can vary (it's rarely lamb - and never neck!) So that's cooking as I type/crush candy!

CY that must be really awful for you all.. hopefully they will make a decision soon xx You could pull a sickie for the weekend

3rd lot in DW

All clean laundry dried and away

Dinner almost done.. apparently I am allowed to go to the KIDs meeting later so we best hope I can get my shoes back on because I had to take them off due to numbness and cramp! TBH I just want my bed!

Best go slop out food for the minions!

mrs-moneypenny

DS1 has just had a phone call hes on the apprenticeship scheme so basically, hes got a full time paying job.:j doesnt start till summer but at least its his. thank you all for the good wishes vibes for him:T

everything crossed for your DH CY

Dustykitten

Just back from cricket and need to be at the next one in 30 minutes and oh my hips are so stiff.

Fish fingers cooking, mogs fed. Flying - I had just started cleaning the bathroom when my mother rang with an internet banking problem, that took all my time.

LameWolf

Mrs mp :jyay, great news for DS1.

CY No stress, then.....:( I'll continue to keep everything crossed.

Mr LW's hair is now neat and tidy, and suitably short.:D We also did the rounds of the F&V market in CMK, followed by Ald!, followed by Mr T - I'm concerned as there was NO Mr T's own veggie mince, and not even a price tab on the freezer shelf, so I hope they haven't stopped doing it.:( I know I can get Qr0rn mince, but a) it's a lot dearer and b) it always comes up too dry, and if I add liquid, it just swims in the liquid and doesn't absorb it, iyswim.
