Weekly Flylady Thread 24th October 2016

Sorry to hear about your water problem Thrifty - hopefully everything is OK and no damage. With that mini-disaster reported, I'm not sure you should be removing radiators either Bossy...:eek:

Natty - can I join the FB group please? It won't let me see in or ask to become a member...you've blocked me, haven't you!?! *wail*

Been fairly busy today with architect's visit and my online food order arriving at the same time (why does that always happen?) plus two visits to hospital to meet my newest niece (sort-of) with the boys and again later with DH. He even recorded the football to make sure we got there before evening kick-out. I am rather proud. Maccy D for dinner though - diet starting again Monday

Enjoying a warm bubble bath and making more plans for the house....ahhh...lovely.

On Monday evening I will also be posting over on the FB Flylady MSE thread details about this year’s Christmas Card Exchange if anyone wants to join in.

Valli - I'm not on the FB Flylady MSE thread but would still like to join in again this year. Maybe you could pm me the details when you have the time please

Same goes for me. I have resisted joining the FB flyladies as I waste enough time as it is!

Welcome back Wendywitch

I've lost track of what has been done, other than the downstairs had a good blitz on Sat before our visitors arrived, and we did lots of gardening over the weekend.

I'll try and spare you some of my long rambling posts and excuses for what I haven't done.

Frog is progressing - have gone through 6 of the 37 folders so far.
Zumba this morning.
Filled bird feeders.
Worked at uni.
Floordrobe tidied.
2 mice sadly snap-trapped so far; after I found nibbled bits out of the peaches in my fruit bowl in the dining room we had to act...........

Evening everyone and welcome back Wendy :hello:

Natty- I'm not on the FB Flylady MSE thread but would still like to join in the C cards again this year. Maybe you could pm me the details when you have the time please

Brilliant news Dizzy - so pleased you are eventually getting things underway.
Sounds like you're doing great HB with your attic of doom. Good to know your DH being so helpful as well.
Welcome back from your holibobs ATB - hope you had a fandabadosy time
What a thoughtful offer Iona, as I can appreciate how busy you are yet still willing to take on the secret santa again. Look forward to further details.
Glad you sorted the water Thrift without too many further problems.


Well, I don't really know what has got into me. Today I sorted a really untidy corner of the study, 'Russian dolled' some suitcases and put them in the space.

Then pulled out all the hall cupboard, re-jiggled the shelves and put all back tidy. Actually made enough space to put the spare duvet and pillows. Old towel put out for using as freezer defrosting accessory.

Not done much cleaning, apart from usual in kitchen. It's all WUDUPA, fronts wiped, bunkers wiped and rubbish exited. However, think it all counts as flying eh.

Morning all

Did dr yesterday, cat celebrated by leaving a very dead mouse in there, just inside the doorway. Luckily I spotted it before I stepped on it.

Have done WM x2 and DW.

I don't have a spare room so might bring one forward because we're horse piddle visiting tomorrow. DS is coming too, on his day off.

Honey Bear - that is awesome progress in the attic. Well done!
