Hi everyone,

Well done with all of the flying today everyone. I managed to do my meal plans for the week and made it to the market before 10am when the carparks start charging. Bought 10 braeburn apples for £1 and a cabbage for my cabbage galette for 60p. Then I parked in waitrose carpark and walked into town (carpark free for 2 hours) and got myself an expensive moisturiser with my boots points (free again), and then bought some milk in waitrose before I went home. I had lunch and then finally got around to hoovering out my car (OH got the extension lead out last weekend, but I hurt my shoulder at work so couldn't do it then. My shoulder is all better now.

I did have a confontation with one of my neighbours though, as she has been parking her caravan in the communal parking area (parking is bad around here anyway), and last night when I got home, I couldn't park my car. She's a nasty piece of work, and is one of those people you referred to Kazmeister (never worked a day in her life, yet can afford to go on holiday all the time and has the TV etc). We had trouble with her before as she was letting her dog pooh all over the place and not clearing it up, so we called the dogwarden out as we had a photo of the dog doing its thing taken from our kitchen window. GRR! The dog has stopped doing its thing outside our window, but she said that she's not moving the caravan until the winter as apparently she goes away in it every weekend (obviously not this weekend), and until the winter comes, it will stay where it is!! The area I live in has really gone downhill in the last couple of years, and I wish we could move.

Anyway, enough of the moaning - am off babysitting at 7.45 and have just noticed the time, so I'd better go and make the stirfry for dinner and stop chatting.

Have a good evening everyone.

Evening all. I've lost my post with my list on probably looked past it, I think I will have another look in a mo.

Been checking up on the persons name I got, seems he's just a jumped up drunk, supposedly all talk but we'll see I suppose. DPs step dad came over this morning to collect some stuff, wanted to 'have a word' with my neighbour he put it as but he was out, sort of pleased as the thought of someone else getting into trouble because of an idiot like him doesn't appeal to me.

Done some things but not all, way too warm here! Spent couple of hours at my sisters, seems she is having neighbour issues aswell, season for it I suppose, people and kids outside all the time winding each other up etc, roll on the winter! Stuffy here aswell, was being cooked alive through the car windows, roll on when I have air con in a car that works!

Need to clean Sonic out tonight as didn't get that done, dining table has turned into a dumping ground so that needs doing aswell, clean Sonic's 'waste' up daily but he's a messy little devil & cage needs a thorough clean. Hoping he'll be big enough soon not to fit through the bars in his bigger cage.

Not much Flying done here today despite my intentions.. ah well, there's always tomorrow..
Got plenty of washing done and dried though, including my charity shop purchases which I'm sure were perfectly clean already but...
Plus I've spent way too much time f**nying round on Facebook. Groannnn, I hope the novelty wears off quickly.
Supper in the oven and an alcoholic fruit salad for pud - can't be too sensible about these things!
If anyone's doing a half hour thing this evening I could do with the motivation/kick up the bum/company. (And TV is lousy tonight)

Hurmph! Ebay has canceled one of my listings as they say 'it breaches copyright'. Does not! Its a supercard thing for a DS lite, but DS1 has a DS, so no use to me... plus what makes it worse is that there are others on there that even have pirate games! rant, moan, rant.... oh and I have PMT. Not quite as bad since I started taking magnesium, but still want to throttle someone...

Got the cleaning done, no washing out though, I was too damn lazy.

Still got boys party bags to do, I should do them now.
Party food to prep.
Decide what I'm wearing tomorrow.

Should I dress up? Its a fancy dress party, and I have a cool skirt and top that make me look like an (overweight) auburn haired Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter, plus, yes I do have a wand... So to fancy dress in black, or dress up to look like a nice Mum with skirt and top?

Wonder if I can take my shoes off in the hall? I hate shoes...

We've had a busy but nice day today at a 1st birthday party and then went shopping (Meadowhall has a new Primark, and it is massive and so cheap!!! Spent 45 quid and got 2 x great big bags full of clothes for all 3 of us.) Also finally got Charlie the swing, and as a bonus, the ILs gave us a telly for us to sell. DH sold it for 90, and we could keep it, so thought we had best spend it on Charlie.

Hello everyone! Im joining you this coming week. Our house is larger now and one of our kids has just started school so I only have one toddler under my feet now. The perfect time to start a new routine. Ive printed out the routine and will have a go! I tried something similar myself once but I hadnt got it as well organised as you have. Will report back....

Solwaykid

Tia, fancy dress, fancy dress!! Have a fun time and remember if you're not wearing shoes in the hall take some socks so you can do some sliding!
Michelle, Primark's fab isn't it! If it's anything like the one at the Metro Centre it's huge. Some of their Home stuff is really nice too.
Welcome to the thread Peaches,I think Pigpen might be at the helm of the good ship Flylady next week, the routine might take us into unchartered waters, keep an eye out for the new thread on Monday!
