LR Decluttered
General tidy up done

Ex phoned to ask me to show him how to do a bank transfer I said no problem just come down. He then proceeds to have a full scale go at me and turn everything around so it's poor old him. So I told him to leave, cue me sitting on the floor in a heap sobbing. Then DS1 is on the phone wanting to know why I've started on his dad because he's so upset. I just give in so I do. Can't do right for doing wrong. Off to track down some chocolate to make me feel better.

Hello all fly ladies and happy new year.Thank you for all the threads,they are great.This Year has started badly here.A tree was chopped down today and the men have left without putting the washing line back.Then we smelt gas and the engineer said that the hob was leaking gas,so he had to turn off heating and the hob.It is under guarantee so the man should come tomorrow.If not,I shall miss my book club for nothing.Never mind,Christmas was lovely.

I don't think I'd feel comfortable joining the weight loss thread - too many peeps there I don't know. Deffo feel happier keeping it Flylady.

Me too. People posting on other threads scare me. I'm a big wimp really.

Hi FFP, nice you're back posting, but sorry that the ex is being......ex-Ish.

Mrs MP - that sounds horrible. Please go to the doctor we don't want you falling again.

List posted this morning done, toaster and microwave cleaned. Unsuccessful school shoe shopping trip, but we have found "the ones", I now have to order them online as they didn't have DD's size.. Which was what I wanted to do in early December. :mad: Still whilst waiting for her to try jeans on, I did write my list for this aftenoon. Good use of time!

Christmas is in the process of leaving this house. It seems to be taking me forever, but it will be gone by this evening. Beef is in the sc for dinner, and the remaining veg in the fridge will be used up then. I resisted going in and buying anything other than milk today, so that everything lurking is used up first. Fruit bowl has been revitalised from the fridge, so we are getting there. I have also resorted to hiding the butter in the fridge (yes, I know that I know it's there, but humour me!) so that I'm not tempted to resort to bread and butter, which is my absolute downfall. I don't want to be thrown out of the slinkies before I've begun!

Been shopping, fetched S from school but wasn't able to get drugs from pharmacy so will do that tomorrow. Nice easy tea - sweet and sour chicken. Been very organised and tomorrow's load of washing has been sorted so will pop it in first thing before I go to the stables to sort Huck out (go 3 days a week). The wind is picking up here; hate it.

FFP sorry to hear about ex .... men eh.

Pigpen I love your method of decluttering!

Kaz well done on getting ironing done.

Fayolle what a pain re shoes .... at least you're a bit closer to getting them now than you were!

FFP.. he is just doing what they all do.. trying to make himself out the victim.. next time he rings wanting help with something say no.. you CAN say no.. you are strong enough to do this.. You owe him nothing, nothing at all!!

So today has been manic. DH phoned me this morning to say someone has run into the back of him. No-one hurt, but van a mess. So this morning was lost to dealing with insurance etc whilst kiddies had to watch the iPad as I couldnt deal with them at the same time!

Since then - Asda trip done, bottle bank visited, car washed (not by me, the nice local man!), post office visited to send ebay parcels, and chicken in oven. Took kiddies to McDs earlier but resisted anything :A

Also paid off Very account and sent them a letter asking them to close it down. Off to read the meters and submit those!

FFP (((hugs)))

Been to town. Needed glasses fixing. Lady said it looked strained and irreparable - actually was broken screw, repaired and buffed up FOC.
Needed foundation - went in Boots, almost used debit card but checked advantage card balance *almost swooned* more than enough. Then went in WHSm1ths. Got xmas cards in sale - 2 packs of 30 for 99p a pack and got a notebook, and some fancy post it notes (which, obviously I needed)and 30 thankyou cards and spent less than a £5!

Swung by tescos and got a huge piece of stilton and apricot (DS likes fruity cheese) for £1

will keep the challenges on here
