Weekly Flylady Thread 24th September 2007

clarkey1000

Am feeling very proud of myself as have done lots today. :T Helped by the fact I got home at 4.45 so have had lots of time!

Tomorrow shouldn't be too bad either as I've already sorted my handbag & purse and hoovered the living room and I don't have a hall to worry about!

I also managed toget Chris Moyles to say Happy Birthday to my DH on the radio and he (DH) met Ewan McGregor and got me an autograph! :j (apparently he spelt Jo with an 'e' and it looks more like Sue but still a good result!)

Thanks for the link to the leftie website by the way, I might try and get some stuff for my dad! By the way the video about handwriting position (here) is really worth noting. My granny spent hours and hours making me practice my handwriting with my hand below the line of text to stop me smudging what I'd just writen and although it used to drive me mad I'm so grateful to her for it now.

Right, off to sort lunch for tomorrow & finish folding the washing.

Hope everyone who had a rubbish day today has a much better one tomorrow

Phew on the kitchen and phew I've found the end of the thread so far! No way I'm going back to post 1 to copy paste and strike 'cos I'm worried there'll be more to read when I get back. I've done a good job in anycase and included the pantry and the back porch today. I'm going to keep my deep clean list for when I've got some time off. Oh, by the way I had a coffee at 3pm and am revved up like nobody's business so if I start 'randoming' excuse me. (I only have a couple a month generally, I'm a sensitive sort :rotfl: )

Lil_me, so chuffed you've got the house and I love the kitchen!
Shell, puppy pictures please? Sound's like he's fitted right in.
'Smutty naked ladies' Oi! Some of us are single you know and not having any sport, it's like house envy all over again :rotfl:
Hugs to all with troubles and poorlies.
Welcome to all the new flyers this week.


BM on,
1 washload dried, rained on, dried, rained on again, given up and draped round the house
Neglected moggies brushed and fussed.
Supper dishes still to do.
Bag and lunch sorted for tomorrow.
I think I'm set. Off to annoy some people on facebook for a bit. No sense in being lively and not putting it to use is there?

evening all

am just listening to my friend on Radio 4!! they wanted a mother to listen to gordon brown's conference speech and comment on it after. quite cool

not got far with flying, will try and do a bit more before bed and then will update my list later. i did apply for a job though, as a fundraiser at a hospital in london. took ages cos it was a full online application form. not v confident i'll get an interview but am applying for all sorts. i should hear tomorrow whether i've got an interview (on fri) for a job at a school in bromley which i'd really like. fingers crossed.

put on 1lb at weightwatchers which i thought was pretty good considering the holiday! went to tesco after and spent £47 on who knows what....must start internet shopping...reckon i'll save loads! better go and put it all away.

rach

em (i think it was you who asked!) this is what onya bags are. i have a pink shopping type one and i love it, am going to get them for xmas presents! going to treat myself to a shoulder one as a winter bag and with the money i've made from ebay sales too.
