Weekly Flylady Thread 30th September 2013

Kaz2904

Well hello .
I got up at 3:55 and flew around doing jobs from the list. Not much left to do really. As I was feeling as I couldn't have a coffee, DH pulled up having been shopping and got milk. Woohoo. I am now supping my coffee and about to go and have a shower.
Tea's in the oven so will be ready soon.
Need to discuss Christmas requests with everyone over tea tonight so I can request my off duty.
I know there are going to be things I will miss but can't do anything about it.

Not much flying so far today, but I have done the big food shop for the month buying butter, milk etc. I went up to the farm and bought big bags of onions & potatos, will get OH to get them out the car later so I can dehydrate them tomorrow. We shouldn't need to buy either for the rest of the winter then All my jars are coming tomorrow, a little late to give as a wedding present unfortunately, but I'm going to make a start on the xmas hampers. So I also had to pop up the road and buy the shallots, £3.95 for a huge bag so quite happy with that.

Will try to fly a bit later on

Daisydoll

We'll just back from the high school viewing so that's the last one we are looking at phew. Thanks for the advice given, dd1 is favouring a school that is not a feeder, as it's a different religion to the one she currently goes to, but if she chooses it she's still likely to get in as the intakes have been low in the whole borough the last few years, and it's only 5 mins walk away. It's a really good school, but I hadn't considered it until we looked because I didn't think she would get in, anyway she's going on a taster day fri so hopefully that will help her make her mind up (and mine of course).

Think I'll catch up with my list tommorow as I haven't even had the yet.

Valli

DD found some shoes online - but the store wanted a hefty fee even for 'delivery to store'. She sourced some over the border (they weren't in the store in Valliland) so, at ten to 5 off we dashed, past AnWs messy Church and off to Crystal Peaks. Shoes there but at an instore price BUT she got 20% off as she had her student ID! Woot! Result. Been shopping, used my Morribunds voucher and asked the checkout lady to stop at £35./ She got it BANG ON so £10 off that part then SD off the rest Woot again!

AND I found some roadkill - a whole penny!
