Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd December 2007

Afternoon.

It is lovely out there, Walked to the corner shop with DS3 (inset day) to get some bread. Came back and insisted we spent time out in the sun. I told him the garden had to be tidy for Santa to stop so we rake leaves and swept. Still heaps to do but the wheelie bin in full. Emptied one dahlia and replaced with bulbs - loads more to do.

We have now eaten nearly a whole fat french stick between us with lovely cheese.

Right online bank accounts then a cuppa and another 30 minutes in the kitchen.

Pigpen - can't you ditch the shabby? There is no way I'd use them.

Newbies welcome to you all

Sexymouse - was it a squirrel or a car?

Am back from nursery drop off and feeling very sick! Maybe it was the 4 jam tarts i decided to scoff for lunch before we left:o . Am trying to work out whether to make myself sick or leave it and just feel sick for the next hour. Think I will sit still for 10 mins and see if that cures it, dont have time for this things to do!

Not until I've got the remaining £3000 they owe me in bank charges lol.

It is the only account with hubbys name on and his wages go in there and they are used to pay the bills.. there is nothing else going in the account so it is basically unused.. all the child benefit, dla, ca, ctc go into my alliance and leicester accoutn.. who seem a lot more savvy when it comes to customer services (plus I got £80 through quidco for opening the account!) I also have a tsb account.. as the branch is at the bottom of my street.. which is used solely for paypal transfers, BACS from quidco/greasypalm etc and my ebay cheques/postal orders to be paid into and the change from my piggy.. most of the money that goes in there is paid off a debt or the mortgage.. it is money we never had so won't miss. (£127 quidco and £48 greasypalm going in this month!)

Best make a move as the WM's will be finishing again in a bit.

Hhhmmmmm...... what first????

30 minute challenge anyone?? 1-1:30? (so I have time for a speedy cuppa) See you back here at half past with a packet of rich tea and some jaffa cake bars?

Hello everyone, welcome to all the new flyladies, inc those dragged kicking from the DFW threads I hope you all enjoy your time with us even if it doesn't cure the CHAOS.

I've banished myself from the internet until 1pm just to make me do something so far 5 loads laundry washed and hung around the house (looks like a laundrette but trying not to use TD) another load in, vacuumed sitting room, utility, dining room, kitchen and conservatory. Done some of the kitchen. Been to doctors to make DSs appointment (was supposed to go last week ) been to housing office, shopping (found cheap F&V shops so I am happy, still found nowhere for lizard food 2 pet shops and neither do live food, travelling 20 miles for it at the minute)

No the dining table isn't done yet, will try and get it done next

Impressed with DP who has thought of an MSE ish present for his Mam, taking photos of her pride and joy (car not the grandkids) and getting it framed. Type of person who is rarely grateful whatever you get her really, has enough £ to buy what she wants.

Briefly pausing while I change my pants which I have liberally covered with harpic!!!!!!!!

Ordered my mothers laptop, bag and trackball mouse for christmas.. grand total of £335.. my sisters and stepdad are all putting in together to pay for it.. but I get the job of doing it as I 'don't do anything but sit at home all day!

Best text stepdad and tell him I got it!! he will be pleased as he has saved £300 so far so I get change.. and cashback!!
