Weekly Flylady Thread 7th October 2013

thifty

3 apple crumbles made, loaf out of BM, looks fab, apple puree bagged up and boxed ready for freezer and porridge tom morning and have rescued the cake by building it up with buttercream more on one side than the other!:rotfl:
might make some biscuits with the kids when I've picked them up.

Does anyone know how to do rice pudding in the slow cooker please?

Quick check in while I wait for Mr LW to finish work and be ready to take me to Mr T's. (He's wfh on early shift today).

Healing vibes for Mrs Dog and SickDog. Fwiw, I can't take Tramadol either.

The JRs, Hugo and Dylan, are delightful. They're brothers, almost 7 years old, and lovely characters.:o Thankfully they have very different markings, so easy to tell apart.:D

wondered why i couldnt find it i was looking in the wrong thread.
i followed the one by mum2one about halfway down the thread. mines just about cooked now.
Dh has been fed and gone back to work so im going to get the cake out and attempt to clean the kitchen, the floor feels sticky after boiling the marmalade so im glad i had my cooking session first.

Yes please Mrs MP and thank you.

I've cruised the kids bedrooms and have amassed 4 more loads of washing.
More ironing done.

There is a large 'splat' mark on the landing carpet. Nobody will confess to spilling anything. I'm going to try and sponge it out with a large bowl of tepid water with a single drop of detergent in it. A carpet cleaning man told me never to use the commercial stuff to remove stains.

Ironing to put away now. Sigh....

Fingers crossed still for DS1. Old carpet cleaning guy (he did mecca dance hall carpets) told me if the carpet is not synthetic then use really hot water and a ba of plain white hand soap, works really well for me.

Shopping done, birthday present brough. Just need to write the cards and wrap in a bit.

Washing all dry.

Thanks Mrs MP, Pigpen and Fizz for the knitting help. I only restated knitting last year and had only done very basic stuff as a child. I started back on the loop thing and found that easier than needles. I'll give it a go on both. Next knitting question how do I change colours?

Time for a cuppa and the HHC at 3pm if you fancy.

• I have needed a new kitchen bin for ages, so it is a good time to get a replacement.
• Sorted the winter coats but nothing fits DS2 now so will have to buy a new one
• Also need new gloves

I really am not looking forward to the kids coming home and messing everything up

mrs-moneypenny

are you starting a new colour at the end of the row, if so you leave a tail of the old colour and a tail of the new and twist them round each other

I usually use both colours for about 3 stitches to anchor the new yarn and then drop the old one. My sister does a lot of fair isle and wants me to try it. I politely declined and advised her to jog on!

The garage just rang and my car is ready . Unfortunately, DS has just walked through the door and DD isn't back yet. Don't think I can feasibly collect it today .
