Weekly Flylady Thread 24th February 2014

skint_breeder_5

After a rather unsuccessful week and trying to lurk but do next to nothing, I thought I would lurk last night and just have a look at Dusty's list with the vague aim of crossing some stuff off.

Skinty is going to get back in the game, as long as something gets done in every room by the end of the weekend, I will be happy, baby steps and all that......

Anyway, trying to catch up on news, Bossy hope that you meet someone nice soon xxx

I spent some time sniping last night on ebay next size clothes for DD4, so I will need put out a milk carton for my GUAG so I can get straight otherwise she will be mixing both sizes through the wash and I will never be straight:rotfl:

Right, I should really hunt for one of DS missing library books, as a cursory look around has not found it........Does anyone know if you loose a library book on a child's ticket, what is the worst that will happen?

mummyroysof3

Just keep renewing it and hope it turns up but if we do our library doesn't mind

mrs-moneypenny

im sure if its a book on a childs ticket you dont get charged if you lose it. renew it and have another look thats what i do and they usually appear.

Dh has changed brushes in our WM in the past LW they are just little bits that clip on either side of the motor. i think its one of the cheaper easier repairs.

big hailstones slamming down here making a right racket

Hi all

Docs were good we're trying a different one for her as she's on max dose for the other, so we've to try this for a few weeks then go back for a review. She's nibbled a bit today but still drinking so that's good.

Then we went to my mums and took her to M&S and I got DS some vests (ooh need to put a superDS sign on front of one ) and me some brassieres, plus I found some ballet pumps I like, £30 but they rang through at 1p !!! I was so distracted with DD being daft it didn't really click straight away. Very :money:

Right. I'm off to find some felt for DS outfit...

mrs-moneypenny

ive heard of things for a penny in tec0c but not in M&s well done on a brill bargain there bossy.
hope your DD gets on ok now her meds are tweaked

just had a really good pownpour of hail stones here but didnt last too long - the suns out again now

Thankyou Mumof2 for justifying my earlier whinge Today has been busy busy, I have been recommended to another elderly couple so I went to visit them after customer #1, ran home and stuffed a sandwich down my neck in double quick time before rushing off to customer #2. Dashed from there to the C00p, them to collect DS2 and had to pick up DSD on the way home, she has a travel pass so why she has to be picked up and dropped off everywhere is a mystery to me.

Got in about 5 minutes ago, now have to prepare three dinners (boys are having tomato and wild mushroom sauce with pasta but DSD has now decided she also doesn't like tomatoes :mad: so I need to freezer rummage and see of there's anything she WILL eat in there :mad: DH and I are having a YS pork strips, YS noodles and YS stir fry veg :money:

And I need to vacuum, dust the LR (it's grot-tastic), S&S bathroom and kitchen, WUDUPA and have a shower and get ready to go out by 6.30.

Easy peasy

ETA Skinty :hello:

Dustykitten

Washing been out and in - hail here too now.

Not much else achieved as friend came around for a few hours, she is very down.

Need to collect the boys from school so a quick HH and then off I go.

Dustykitten

DS1 offered to go and get them for me so I have an unexpected hour now to fly.
