Weekly Flylady Thread 19th Nov 2007

Hello everyone.

I am in again. Nikki, can I pinch a pre-printed excuse note? After I posted last week I did all of my ironing pile (DH nearly died of shock) but managed to aggravate the trapped nerve in my back and couldn't move my neck for 4 days.....:o .

I have to stay in this morning because my new range oven is being delivered, so no excuses today. Saves cleaning the old one

Pigpen - is there a qualifying spend for your team? I need to get a few bits from Wilkos, Debenhams and Play, but nothing exciting in terms of cashback. Mini fans - try B n Q, we got a one (with LED lights in that makes pretty patterns as it goes round) a few weeks ago.

Morning all

Two loads of washing draped round the house.

Kitchen done, and dusted and vacuumed living room.

Morning everyone!

Just a quick question - for those of you who clean your shower curtain in the WM with bleach, do you just use household thick bleach, and how much do you use, and which section of the machine do you put it in? I'm determined that if I can rescue our shower curtain, that I'll take the new one back.

PS forgot to ask what temp you put the machine on?

Morning All, well I set myself a target today of at least starting the list before turning on the computer (otherwise I find far more interesting things to do :rotfl: ) and so far today, I have managed the following....

Rach - usually I use split red lentils, but last time I was in our local Asian supermarket they had brown lentils so I'm hoping they blend in even better We'll have to see, but anything that can stretch the mince in this house is a blessing - OH loves his meat and would probably sit down to a mixed grill like you get in the pub every night if he could :eek:

Hex - I can't remember how I did the letters now (they've been on the computer since DD started nursery in 2004), but I have two side by side on a landscape page in Word...hang on I'll do an edited screen shot All I do is I print them out and put one to one side as usually when DD is off once, she will be off again within a short time :rolleyes:

Looks like I'm in for a fun day - just booted up my computer while I had a coffee break and it shut itself down and rebooted shouting about wanting a system file in Drive A :eek: I'm now on OH's while I have my coffee and run virus checks etc on his before copying all my stuff from my computer over to this one, THEN I'm attacking the programmes on my computer in the hopes that maybe if I get rid of some of the stuff it might work a bit better - OH has agreed with me but said it sounds like I need a new harddrive :mad::eek: Oh well... off to do that screen shot :wave:

Here you go :

No qualifying amounts.. they add ALL the cashback together (obviously you get paid your bit) and the total cashback for the whole team is the qualifying amount..

PM me you quidco Id and I'll send you an invite!!

Thanks for the Flylady Christmas card list pigpen! Just received it.

I'm back from town and I'm freezing, it's really dark outside and raining so my trousers got soaked along the bottom and I managed to leave a trail behind me in each shop, I'm like a snail.... the cleaner in McDonalds looked none to pleased though, ha! ha! that's what you get for stopping the breakfasts @ 10.26 I sooo wanted a sausage and egg mcmuffin.

Went to HMV for my DVD (A Christmas Story) the 13 yr old serving was very helpful, I had him searching everywhere for it and he finally found it in the lift (!!!!!!?) was £8 instore though so spent £3 more than I'd planned but hey ho this film is SO worth it.

Got my weekly shop and most of it is put away, made a brew then I'm gonna crack on with the list when I've warmed up a bit. Will do the rest of my errands after school with littley (we like driving about) Will post a pic of my hamper I flung together at the weekend too if I can find my camera.

Hi Denise :hello: good to see you x
