Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd October 2007

evening all
well I am getting into the swing of checking on here each night which is a start, one of these days I wil find the time to do some of the stuff as well

Had a busy day today with the children, fiddled around this morning then went out for "picnic" ie packed lunch with some friends at leisure centre. Then we all went to country park, and had a fab afternoon, the kids had a really good run around and play, and loads of fresh air. All I managed to do in the house was do dinner and clear up, and clear up the aftermath of being out all day (lunchbag, coats, wellies etc) and do the usual million feeds of the baby.
Off my big list I only did one thing (pay a credit card bill - got 3 to go :rolleyes: ) so am not even bothering to update it.

Tomorrow kids are going to friend's house all day (!!) so I will only have the baby here. Am planning to do a load of tasks, have ots of cups of tea, and go ito town in the afternoon to do Christmas shooping - hopefully get a lot on Boots as its one of their 1000 point giveaway days, with the 3 for 2 on ifts I shoiuld hopefully get loads for the £50 I have to spend.

Am shattered and legs aching from walking all afternoon, so going to bed top make a list of Christmas stuff I need to buy.

Nighty night

Well, as expected I have done no flying!!!!! TBH I haven't been at home that much, all that hasn't stopped all the carp in here breeding - I'll need to do some serious flying next week. Have managed to keep up with the ebaying and S & S and dailies, so not too bad.
Hugs to all those that needed it - I have just caught up with all 11 pages, so I cant remember individuals - although I see more flylady baby dust has been settling (PLEASE send some my way!) and there are lots of snots and colds (PLEASE DO NOT send my way!!!)
