Weekly Flylady Thread 17th September 2007

Dustykitten

Morning all not started list yet. Prunned roses as builder here replacing window sills which are completely rotten and he could not get to them so I now have a lovely sented bunch of roses on my desk and a pot of caterpillers outside for DS3.

Done most of my dalies and kitchen all tidy. Going to put the stuff in the loft and sort out now before lunch and then move on from there.

This happened to me yesterday I dreamt that flyladies were buying lipsticks in boots on offer and flogging them on ebay - as if something like that would ever happen:rotfl:

:rotfl: :money: yay :j

I'm not a shoe wearer either, hate the damn things! I like my feet free and comfortable :cool: sure I was a hippy in my last life....

Argh why when I try to post good news does the website play up. We now have a guarantor if we need it just got to hope landlady accepts the rest now, saying that references were perfect. Problem now is estate agents computers are down (this is the third day and would think such a big company would have it sorted sooner!!), she can't get the landladys contact number and can't see if referencing dept have done the report. She's ringing me this afternoon with hopefully some news!!!

Feeling much more positive now, relieved aswell, so time to get that wardrobe decluttered. Today might be a better day after all, even if I did have to deal with poop first thing!

A question about ebay Do you use mailing bags to send clothes- if so do you buy them on ebay. What is a reasonable price to pay? If not what (exactly)?
Is it best to simply accept paypal and personal cheques/postal orders?

Good afternoon everyone...hope everyone is ok.

Lil_me - i'd definitely go for the council house list, like you say you can always say no. Also, thanks for giving me a kick up the bum! I was going to procrastinate and not bother with my wardrobe but seeing as you're doing yours I feel I should do mine. Also, we've had a charity bag through the door and they're collecting tomorrow so I can get rid of stuff easily. If it doesn't fit i'm chucking it out! Scary!

Pigpen - that dresser is lovely. I'm looking forward to seeing the after piccies.

I've had a busyish morning...bought a present for DS to take to a party on Friday....put lots of cd roms on computer to help children with school work....arranged for a man to come and sort our gutters. Not sure what DH will say about that because he was going to do the gutters but he keeps putting it off and it's not that safe. Anyway, he's away this week so I got someone to give us a quote. For £95 he'll realign all the gutters, replace two broken bits, reseal all the sections. I've told him to go ahead and do it and he's coming tomorrow. Just hope DH doesn't look up when he gets home, lol!

Right, i'm rambling now. Off to empty my wardrobe.

Chat soon xx
