Weekly Flylady Thread 24th September 2007

lil_me

House insurance sorted, £8 a month less than I'm paying now (£22) and £70 cash back through Quidco. I like Quidco! Ordered Sky in my name instead of paying them a fortune to 'move' us, £110 cashback through Quidco, I like Quidco even more

Phoned estate agents to ask them to make sure landlady when clearing stuff doesn't remove the post that is for us!!! LEA transport sorted for DS1. Going to 'officially' move over half term so they don't need to have time off school.

Cuppa time!

I went to the kettle to put it on before my last 30 mins, and found that it needed to be descaled (something that could be added to the weekend task options maybe pigpen if we are having those?), so had to do that before I could make my coffee.

Off to find me some quiche in the fridge for my lunch. Yummy.

Did big post and it disappeared - grrrr!

So edited version:-

Have done all of todays tasks, even took the sofa apart to clean inbetween bits (its ok its a 3 seater with recliners either end so its designed too). Skirtings swiped and light fitting.

Waiting for delivery man to turn up, he has to collect the cabin bed that was delivered in error last week and drop off the bunk beds.

Rusty currently curled up next to little un. Trotted him to preschool to collect him and wheeled the buggy back at 100mph incase we missed the delivery man, smoke coming off his little paws lol!

Lil_me - lets hope whoever moves into your current house is as horrible as your other neighbour and gives him some hassle! What goes around comes around as they say (but home they are nice to your attached neighbours).

Hi folks. Have put my house up for sale so now this thread is a must for me! Thanks for all the great tips. Going to be checking in regularly for further inspiration. Not an Anthea by nature but who knows! BTW, anyone going to tune in for her new show with creepie crawlies? Not my cup of tea ...:eek:

AnW'sMum

waahhhhhhhhhhhhhh can't get my pic of Billy bear to show :mad:

I'm on strike now, ok make that lunch instead.

Just before I do go though, post arrived whilst I was trying upload this pic and there was a letter from the council asking if I might be available if a general election is called in Oct/Nov. Did this last time round and got £60 for counting a few bits of paper, well I lot of bits of paper lol. This time they are asking if I want to do the same or apply to be a poll clerk £110 min or presiding officier £184 min
It's easy enough to do and those extra £££ would come in handy at that time of year. If anyone else is interested I would suggest you contact your local council and see if they need anyone. Last time we had to be there for 9.30 and left at about 1am (thankfully no recount!)

pigpen

AnW'smum.. that's a great idea.. who is it you contact initially? The council?? I could definitely do with a few extra £'s

Another cuppa anyone?? I am sitting here until 1pm then doing a 30 minute challenge.. anyone joining me?

sexymouse

I'll join you pigpen.

Welcome Polly!! I hope you have time to get your house sorted before you have to move!! We moved with boxes and boxes of junk which 2 years later I'm STILL sorting through
