Weekly Flylady Thread 19th May 2014

Valli

Last year word got out (why it all has to be hush hush I don't know but...) anyway, I was fairly certain I was under suspicion as the blabber - then a parent asked me a question and told me she knew what was planned as her husband, a Governor, had told her...and him an Inspector (of schools - begins with 'O') too!

My current mantra is 'I can't say anything about that!'
Sometimes I have to repeat it and repeat it!

Valli calming vibes for you. Schools can be such political places, messge me if you need a private ear.

School meeting decluttered.

Need to put the pc on to do the list and then a HHI with a bit of chelsea

bossymoo

Yikes valli it will soon be the holidays

Well. I have just had a phone call at 10pm from the blimmin eBay buyer asking what buses come past my house!!!

TO COLLECT A TRAMPOLINE

OMFG. You just know this will all end in tears. Probably mine. OMFG.

I asked if they understood what they had bought, it is not going on a bus (well unless they have their own bus!) - and I suggested she didn't come alone for it. She asked if it would fit in a car :mad: surely that would depend on the size of the car, and what else was in it? The dimensions were clearly stated on the ad.

I don't think she has a blinkin clue what she's bought.

Pretty certain I will still have the darned thing this time tomorrow.

Drat and double drat.

Valli

Sorry Bossy but the thought of your ebay buyer trying to manhandle a trampoline onto a bus has brought a smile to my face - well I'm giggling tbh

Dusty - noted. TYVM

Bossy... that is a bit hilarious.. why would someone not know?? lol.

My cooker looks beautiful!



Money well spent.. I simply cannot get to clean the bottom oven .. though Dot did scream the house down because she could see what was cooking and didn't like what she saw.

Washing all washed, dried and away
DW up to date
Oven trays all clean

Tomorrow I need to sort the remaining gubbins on the side.. I will have clean in there!

Cracker booked for thyroidectomy ..



.. he is practising being anaesthetised! He has gained 2kg since he started on his meds.. he was 1.4Kg and is now 3.65Kg... huge difference.. he is just fat now rather than 'average'

I have babies..



They are very tiny

Dustykitten

I have babies just like yours Pigpen

I've decluttered some messages from my pm box and eaten some icecream.

Could it be a lack of a reasonable amount of food ? Sounds like you're trying to live on fresh air. Now really ......

Well - a cat was let out of a bag by someone who was totally unaware that it was a secret to be kept, for now. Had to get someone in to (a) apply damage limitation and (b) ensure it was known it was not me who freed the cat.

Think I would keep my head well below the barricades. Good luck and if all else fails throw the grenade

My patience with DS1 is being stretched to breaking point.

I hope today wasn't as grim as it sounded it was going to be.

And possibly even more carp/devious conniving going on.

I want out:(:mad:

It will come. The light at the end of term is not a mirage.

Bossy I'm sorry to say that from the first failed sale, the saga of the trampoline has been one of those stories that had the possibility that it would just run and run. No matter how lovely it is, there are things that just attract people whose grasp on reality is a tad tenuous - am I allowed to say that? I'm only saying it because so far you have a hit rate of 2 out of 2.

Whose babies are these? Are congratulations in order?

Yet again today has been spent tidying, picking up the pieces and putting what's left of them somewhere sensible, sorting paperwork and ditching stuff.

Jazee

Hehe, I did the master bedroom yesterday! But I may sort a drawer later. But first S&S bathroom, gym, shower, dog walking and hoovering downstairs. Last day at the paid stuff today before a week off. Yayy.....

Have a great day everyone.

just_the_two_of_us

Morning all - reading again - but had breakfast. This is getting to be a bad habit!

What kind of babies are you both expecting Pigpen and Dusty - I am intrigued!
Lots of stuff to do today before out for cup of tea at lunch and vol job 2 this pm followed by dinner with D sis etc - not very SW but hey ho!

Hoping to carry on with paperwork declutter today and perhaps get bathroom done. Not looked on the thread lists but having to head off on my own a little just to clear the most important stuff.

Hugs sticks and spoons to everyone in need - especially Valli and Bossy.
