Weekly Flylady Thread 31st December 2007

Dustyktten - awwwwww twin you've let me down, I can't fly today as feel pretty kak but I've not been sick since three this morning so think i'm on the mend.

Pigpen - ok, empire line it is (but how do I know if something is empire line) - I really need taking in hand clothes wise. This is the year i'm losing a stone and getting fitter. I have to because i'm visiting my sister in the USA in the summer not at Easter this year. I do not want that extra stone in the heat so it's coming off! Once i've lost it i'll pick your brains about clothes that will suit - you can be my personnal trinny and suzannah and somehow I think you'd be as honest! Lol!

Right, i'm going to tell my DH what he needs to do flying wise today. Have a lovely day xx

Morning all

One load of washing done. It's sunny out but very cold and the ground is still damp so I don't think it's drying weather, so I've hung it up indoors.

Tidied round downstairs but I'm not vacuuming today.

Veggies prepared for roast dinner.

Hope everyone feels better today

Morning

Been up about an hour and have managed to unload WM and TD and fold clothes, had breakfast and cleared away but OH has now gone in kitchen to do his :mad: as I'll have to do it again. Need to go get showered and dressed then its to the tip, exchange jeans, food shopping etc. Better go see if bathroom is free.

Hope you all have a good day

Morning :wave:

Loved the dresses :T

Bright and sunny again here today but cold so I'm still not gonna be venturing outside to put washing out lol.

Didn't get to the pictures last night as littley went to OH's and didn't come back till 7pm and it was a bit late then, makes no difference as it was to only give her something to do, a treat and I hadn't told her we were going either so....

soappie I just read what you said on another thread about supermarket cooked chickens - gulp! I usually buy them now and again and you've put me right off :rotfl:

No particular plan of action today, bit of this, that and the other, need to locate school uniforms for tomorrow ( yay :j ) and make my shopping list/menu plan for the coming week, at least that should come down a bit now I'm not feeding OH, so there's one more bonus! :cool:

another brew I think....

PS I can hear Carols being sung in the Church next door..is this usual at this time of year?

Yes, it's normal. It's epiphany Sunday - the day the three kings arrived bearing gold frankincense and myrrh etc. It's the final day of the ecclesiastical Christmas season. Hence our superstition about Christmas decs being down by 12th night etc.

Sorry to have put you off - but really, when you consider that two fresh chickens can usually be bought for £5 and a cooked one is around £2-3 anyway, it's a bit of a false economy with some extra danger thrown in. Also, I've always suspected that the chickens they cook are those about to go out of date anyway, so it's double the danger.

Wow! I didn't know that

and 'double gulp' at more info on chickens I always figured I'd rather a supermarket gave us all food poisoning rather than me, I'm funny about cooking chickens -but getting better. At least mine aren't pink - YAK!

Dressed now and have returned to one of my old flying principles of not letting any rooms you have tidied relapse so have tidied everybodies bedroom so it is all lovely up there again.

DS3 wants his friend round so have arranged that for 2:00pm which will mean he will have to help sort the toys before, or no friend.

I kinda have that principle too Dusty, I just don't always stick to it lol except for my bedroom which I do religously every morning - not that it needs it particularly.

I bought my first two bargain xmas 2008 pressies yesterday from Sainsburys (I'm late starting this year) a Jamie Oliver mug reduced down to £2 from £7? and a snowman cuddly reduced down to 99p from £3.99 don't know who they're for but y'know......lol I'm thinking of my new grand-baby for the snowman but don't want to count my chickens until the first scan and I know everything's as it should be, I keep looking at baby clothes too but biding my time :A

Done my menu plan and shopping list for tomorrow and I have to say there's not much on it YAY! cheap week! cheap week! :j

I stupidly watched War of the Worlds in bed last night, it scared me! :eek: great film though, but not one for the kiddies ....or me as it turns out

Littleys gone round to her Dads and teenies still at his mates house (he slept over) so it's quiete here for now. Need to go into the kitchen to S&S but I'm putting it off cause it's so cold in there....
