Weekly Flylady Thread 10th September 2007

sexymouse

Thank you Squiggly Diddly - you just made me laugh with the undies line! I must say, I'm quite impressed by my sewing it up though - luckily most of it is under the behind if you get what I mean, so there is only a small line of stitches parallel to the seam. :j

Thank you for everyone else who puts up with my moans - I do consider you as friends now I've been on this thread for a little while now, so it's nice to know you are all there when we need you, and hopefully I can return the favour in your hours of need.

Sexymouse so glad you have packed the pub in, that landlady sounds terrible. And if they can't count the wages correctly what else can't she do right???? You are better off out of it.

AAAArgh Pigpen IRONING.......................
and you said you weren't an ogre....

oh by the way your hoppies will be fine chewing cardboard boxes.some pet shops even sell thick cardboard tubes spec for them.

And what exactly does your siggy strip say my sweet???

I'm not an ogre I just know what you all have hidden behind your sofa/in the shed/spare room/garage when your mother, MIL and rich estranged rellies come by. Besides.. I have some to do too!!!!!

We've had the tubes for hoppeties before I just wasn't sure in an ordinary (very cheap!! ) cardboard box would be ok.. it has tape on you know!!!

The cardboard would be ok, but I would take the tape off first.

Morning all.

Not off to a good start - OH just rang to say he'd forgotten to put the rubbish out - so guess who had to go and do a pooper scoop of the back yard, then rush down the driveway in her slippers . . . yeah, thanks mate :mad:

Sexymouse - you DO need to be out of there - certainly not a good place for you!

Oh no - I've just had a trojan horse downloader come up on my AVG scan - what am I supposed to do about that??


Anyways - this week I think I'll go back to writing down my complete list of things needed doing - because I can't keep up with doing certain things on certain days, and it just makes me depressed :(

Grrr, lost my bloomin' post.
Denise, Your list, Pigpen's list, as long as you're doing stuff it's all progress! Is it spring yet ?(just say yes)
Sexymouse, you're definitely best off out of there, the cheek of the woman, surprised she keeps any staff.

Chocolatey, cinnamon, almond bun things are so delicious I'm going to have to take them to work or I'll be ill.
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=367959 I know you'll ask and I'm off for a bath and would hate to think of you drooling!

Catch you all tomorrow, have a restful night.


Ooh, All Seeing Pigpen, any idea where my favourite T-shirt from last summer is? Bit after the event but it's bugging me!

Dustykitten

I've burnt my finger ironing - fortunately on the last item.

DS2 all organised for school tomorrow. Just having a little rest and then a shopping list for tomorrow. Found the box for the library video (under the sofa) so can take those back on route tomorrow.

Seeing as I cannot seem to funtion without a list.. I'm still going to be posting mine.. ok I know I am a geek!!! And I haven't even managed to get ahead this week as I was busy flinging out all the things in DS1's room 3.5 binbags later.. and don't tell him but I chucked the 3 old pairs of trainers out too... sssshhhhh!!!! It looks so nice in there now.. he said it looks like noone lives there.. his ungratefulness knows no bounds!!
