Walk to Mr M for milk - and sneaky biscuits
Clear out, clean sort and put back DH wardrobe. just waiting for the ties decision - he doesn't wear any more and there are loads!!
Phone call re mortgage made - do not want to be paying until I am 70:eek: so now waiting letter!

More research done and popped out as ran out of butter.

Can anyone recommend or otherwise the non-butter spreads please - don't want to waste money on them - usually buy L**pak but not on offer locally.

Thanks - see you tomorrow - when I hope I'll be much more motivated!!!! LOL

jttou. i buy vitalite but thats cos DD2 and fella are vegan, its £1.20 for a 500ml tub not sure if thats more of less than you are looking for. it tases fine and can be used in cooking. i prefer it to pure the other more expensive vegan option

I had a moth infestation a few years ago (courtesy of a very small square of carpet from my grandparents' house) and everything (including curtains) was washed, dry-cleaned or frozen. I think I was still a regular on the thread at the time. The laundry bill was huge as all my work suits had to be dry-cleaned, but cheaper than replacing them all!

I remember that :eek: Have I really been here that long - you'd think Villa Valli would be immaculate;)

Tiddles has a concert with school in Valliland today so decided to inform me at 8:45 as OH was loading them in the car she needed a pack up.. though I am sure the letter said a dinner is provided.. I threw one together anyway, those school ones aren't that wonderful. She will be back about 10pm!!

*intrigued and interested.to know where..*

Will attack my HotSpot though as I can see a few things creeping towards it!

Bossy's got them too;)

Seriously welcome NOOBS. To check if you're eligible you have to go to another Flylady's house and pass the test. It's mine you all have to come to:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::cool:

I have done no flying unless emptying the DW counts:rotfl:

Eek! I'd fail the test I'm sure (maybe that's the sure sign I've come to the right place?) I'm in need!

Thanks for the welcomes

I've washed, dried and put back the bedding on ours & daughters bed which feels a pretty major achievement in my current climate, might have been more if baby had a better sleep today, but hoping to do hotspot tonight & get kitchen presentable again, dishwasher has been on, so will empty & refill that once baby asleep.

I'm not going to beat myself up about what's not done, I'm pleased I've done something - thanks for the inspiration!

When the Pixie did actually go down she stayed there the night, so I got some sleep.. I even went to bed before midnight (just, it was 11:54!).. little implet is awake and fed now..

Cuppa and laundry I think..


I need to chase a repair for Dots car seat which is unusable at the moment so we can't go anywhere.

is it the young voices thing our school went to it last week.

FYI
if children have a free school meal and school is on a trip for the day the kitchen have to provide a pack up for each free school meal child. schools rarely bother to let parents know this so parents provide their own and the one the school kitchen did get thrown away at the end of the day.:mad:
pack ups are ok usually cheese sarnis, portion of salad and some chopped fruit and a hm biscuit

Welcome Hossa, Babes and 8OU

Narco and Dusty we have a lack of birds here too for some reason DH saw Asbo robin for the first time since Christmas yesterday morning, but that's the first time he has been here. Haven't seen Hoodie Blackbird or Woody for a while, but Mr and Mrs Dove and their extended families are still around. Mr Sparrowhawk hasn't shown himself for a while so he must be due to make an appearance soon
Dusty I want snow too

Welcome back Greenbee. :jWhen did you sneak back in..

Well I can see why they have called today "Blue Monday":( I have definately had a distinct lack of anything today. Actually the whole weekend has been a bit of a non event. The pain across my shoulder blades has beeing getting me down, it comes and goes but when it's here it's disabling. It makes me feel dizzy and really sick and drained. I must admit I was scared on Saturday night as I really thought I was having some form of TIA. But silly me just ignored it and refused to tell anyone about it..

We had our doggy houseguest staying for a couple of days so that was interesting with the kittens..lol I ended up sleeping downstairs on the put-u-up for a couple of nights just so I could keep an eye on the youngest kitten

Am hoping tomorrow I feel a bit better to the point where
I can get my derrier into gear.. Oh and I finally got a Dr's appointment - first week in Feb. So am going to ask him about the sleepers and increasing my meds. Still haven't rung the hospital yet to chase up my appointment for long term therapy..think I'm frightened of slipping through the net for the fourth time.. This is getting ridiculous now..

Hugs and spoons to everyone, but will keep some spoons back for me as I have lost all mine..
