Weekly Flylady Thread 30th June 2014

Hi everyone

Thanks to Natty for last week's thread, Dusty for this one, and everyone else for making me feel so welcome and part of the group so quickly last week. Also for the degu love - they appreciate it!:D

So I went AWOL at the end of last week after starting off so well Thursdays I'm always pushed for time as mum comes over for dinner and a film at half six (we call it girls night) and as usually I'm working till half 5, it's a bit of a mad dash! And err Friday I have no excuses...:o:cool::(

So new week, new leaf! I have had today as annual leave and been SUPER lazy so far! Saw the man for an hour in his lunchbreak and been to the shops and bought yet more stuff for the animals... going to have to start allowing more per month so it's more realistic I will stick to it!... and unloaded the DW and reloaded it but it will go on later.

Super excited as I've been wanting to upgrade Houdini's cage for a long time. He's my Syrian hamster and he's big and his cage is not really doing it for him anymore, even though I added shelves etc to create more "floorspace". So I found this amazing wooden one and it looks gorgeous and fun and it's twice the size of his current one! But it was like £70!!! :eek:
Long story short I managed to find one on fleabay which is brand new and exactly the same brand etc, but inc. postage was £46, so I bit the bullet and bought it. Really excited to receive it and then try and build it!!! Hopefully it will come Wednesday or Thursday :T
Of course, that means Houdi's old cage will be spare... maybe time for a new little rescued friend! Watch this space!

Ok, so here go the lists... ( I have dinner made, just need to reheat and do some cous cous with it, so technically not pushed for time... ha!)

Hope everone had a pleasant Monday!

When you are on supply you can put on anything you like :)

Done very little. Did my paid gardening, had a gov meeting, made dinner, got the washing in.

Feeling grim with a sore throat so just going to do my banking and call it a day.
