Smirnoff in the fridge!!

Lol :beer:

Just noticed (on about the 8th trip to check the washing machine) that I hadn't even put it on. I am seriously wondering if I have a memory problem! I went to town today to do the banking and didn't take it with me. Help! xx

Kitchen looks happier now, the floor's washed and the grill and hob lovely and clean. Hot washload in which should sort the gunky drawer out and I'm sitting down. Phew..

Hi to all the new people this week, I hope you manage to get stuff done in between all the chat that goes with being a Flylady! Hello to some familiar faces I haven't seen in a while ( I don't stray far from OS )HopeElizzy, Torianut, Denise and Hollyh. Michelle, you don't need a kick up the bum to do stuff at this time of night, you need a kick up the bum to sit down. I worry about the pace you keep. Tia, I hope your dog's recovering nicely poor lad! Dusty, passport ready for inspection Miss. Got a year to go but don't look at the picture too closely.. Seems to have been a bit of a Dyson day on here too, I'll not get mine out just in case breakdowns are catching.
If I could find a fanfare smiley I'd post it for all the milestone posters today instead here's a too'do'do'doo'to0doo!!

Just finishing my tea - rhubarb yoghurt with oats and some hulahoops (wholegrain), I really couldn't be bothered to cook this late and since its not a 'school night' I'm joining the wine-ers in a glass. Fetching my mum off the train at 9.30am to drive us to Harrogate to meet the baby so I might get some of tomorrows list done beforehand.

And..relaaaxxx

rosh12 welcome

Soappie - Dyson - mine did that today, I got something jammed in where it closes up. If it's broke and LJD1s fix doesn't work and you get no joy from the helpline Dyson have a repair thing where you pay £65 including all parts and service to repair it (whatever it needs it's £65)

Soappie - Have you tried calling dyson. When mine went wrong i called em and they talked me through the problem and sorted it over the phone (was wielding a screwdriver at the same time so i recommend hands free.)

Ladies, you are truly wonderful!

I shall await instructions from LJD's DH and if that don't work, I'll call Dyson themselves. (Even if I have to take the damn thing to work and wield the screwdriver over the phone from there! - If I don't go in, I don't get paid).

And, sadly, given it's age, it will be out of warranty . But, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I await instructions from LJD!

Well we're back, centre parcs was fab but a bit pricey for some of the activities not sure how much we overspent will work it out later in the week and take it from the food budget.

For the first day of the new flylady thread you have all been very chatty, I sat down at nine for a quick catch up and I am still here.

Welcome all newbies it does get easier with each week less to catch up on, Pigpen did wonder how you managed with 8 now we no its the vodka keeping you sane, Tia who is your dog I am going to book ours in over the next few weeks.

Not managed much flying, but have cleaned out the firdge (before Mr T's delivered and filled it up again) wiped down the work surfaces, looked out all school bags, lunch boxes and uniform for tomorrow, WM X3 TD X2 and DW X1

I am starting a new job tomorrow - first job in five years - and I am starting to get a bit nervous. Its at the local secondary school as a classroom assistant within the maths department, I am doing 2 1/2 days a week so not sure how my flying will be in the coming weeks until I find a routine that works.

Anyway off to check out the new list and post a note of what I would like to achieve tomorrow.
