Starnac what about you?

Yep finally cleared. Building fund growing nicely now

:rotfl: at Cheery and a whole room under her bed!! Makes under my bed seem less daunting now :rotfl:

Yay to booking flights to places not here. DS is a goodun isn't he? Very sensible head on those young shoulders.

I'm glad your fund is growing nicely Starnac. And my bed seems less scary than cheery's too now you see this fly lady stuff is working.

trips away are fun. And part (as wise DS told me) of why we do reduced runs and pick chickens for the left over meat. Cooked chickens not live chickens.



Hens fed (uncooked) and are nicely providing 3 eggs today.
Dugs fed and scampered about
Did an extra hour at the garden today taking parcels of snowdrops to the post office, mail order has started again. I'm not complaining more happiness flying about the world.

Picked the left over chicken and got more meat that I had even expected so I think it will do two teas and will repick after boiled bones are strained too, you know just to make sure.

That's all bubbling away right now to make gravy/soup.

Rice has defrosted and I've done some quorn and rice for tomorrows lunch.

On way home from PO did a reduced run

79p 750g cornflakes
39p square wraps (you know the ones)
39p loaf of bread

valoo tomato ketchup (himself likes it a bit tart anyway) and got some washing powder, not much under £3

There were yoghurts and a few other reduced bits of meat but notihing in my price range. IYSWIM.

£5.09 spent.

Free biscuits at work. Not bad and didn't have time to eat my lunch as I was given an army of students to put to work (or at least 6 of them) so I was helping sorting some bulb planting with them for selling. There are a few extra bulbs here and there, so I made up a few reduced pots for next year, giving something back and all that :P

Must check banks.

Just done my fifteen mins

Emptied a suitcase, don't judge me! Three things for recycling and mostly things to wash and think about. Haven't seen them in over a year (again no judging :P) and haven't missed them.

Emptied a box and checked I have most of my undergraduate stuff on a disk so in the bin it goes.

Recycled a box of work stuff into a pile to post to new job share.

And yes all in 15 mins.

*polishs fly-baby halo*

I'm off for a bath.

Pippilongstocking

Morning first some of the flylady stuff. Tuesdays are planning days, so fathoming out whats on the week ahead, meals etc.

Did most of that yesterday

Dear Friends:

It is time to fling some socks and tights today. You know that drawer that is full of old tights and mismatched socks that you have held on to for reasons you don't even know. It is time to go through and toss, toss, toss. Be good to yourself and let go of these things that are cluttering up your bedroom. Hidden in a drawer or not, it is still clutter. Take 15 minutes and toss.

Basically today the sock drawer gets it.

I feel your pain with your wages going in one hand and out the other!

I must be getting good at flylady too as I started the sock drawer yesterday. Okay so I was avoiding doing the ironing but there you are :rotfl:

Pip did you ever think about starting to sell plants on the internet again? You are obviously doing well at it at work x

ooooo Pips - get that shiny HALO on you! -


I can skip flylady today! - My sock drawer is not yet assembled - chest of drawers still in flatpack! - sock bin (still in packing box which has actually been opened) is already neat & tidy though I must admit there may be a few pairs I should part with!


**Whispers** - Do I have to turn in my superhero cape now that I've admitted to not yet putting together the drawers?!? - Only been 3 months since we moved!
