Weekly Flylady Thread 21st January 2008

witchypoo

thanks lil_me and pink fairy for the input, I just rang them (straight through to Direct Debits team on the number they sent me on their email, otherwise I was going to go via 'I want to leave!' option if it had come up!) and the nice lady listened while I told her about the two increases within 5 days, that I considered my winter was almost at an end with warmer weather, and that I had not realised I had to do a meter reading before 90 days were up but had intended to however what with Christmas and all it had slipped my mind, and she said that as I had been happy with the rise to £53 that she was happy to put it back to that and that the next bill was due in April and they'd automatically review it then. I think I will still go ahead and after Feb's payment I will do another meter reading and pay back any difference from my bank account. Phew, panic over!

Right better get on and get dressed!! Hubby is on his way home and I need to look busy! lol

Hi all

Back from the doc's £50 lighter. :eek: I now have the Seretide and Ventolin I was on anyway, the Erythromycin and Neo-Clarityn she gave me on Monday, and today she's given me Flixotide to take when I take the Seretide and Salbutamol to use in a Nebuliser, but......she couldn't get me a nebuliser in a hurry. As she said, they have a nurse who will sort out all that for older people, but not for young ones (I told her she was the nicest person I've seen today - I'm 49 and probably older than her!!!:D) Anyway, off to Lloyds for the script and they had Nebulisers reduced to £50 from £89.99 (or something like that) so bought one. If it means I don't need the paramedics again on a weekend, it'll be worth it. The doc said she trusts me not to abuse it and will give me salbutamol to keep in the house for emergencies.

Anyway, all I've done today is make my beds, I think I'll leave the changing till the weekend to see if I feel a bit better, unloaded the DW, loaded the WM but forgot to turn on. :mad:

Just sitting with a frothy coffee before lunch, but will try and do at least one HHC - Under stairs cupboard - after lunch while DS doing his lessons, then we've got to take the DFPs to the vets for their second vaccinations.


I've just realised my status has changed from Newbie to Convert - yippie!

Was a bit disappointed cause in my first week of d**ting, only lost 1lb but then I made all the big changes ages ago. Am hoping that when I go back to work it will help cause I do a lot of walking around the airport terminals (plus in the dry when its hissing it down again). Am planning on leaving my purse at home for the first few weeks so I can't tempt myself with naughties - I will have to eat what I take with me or starve

Right today's list:-
check smoke alarm
strip bed
wash bedding
remake bed
dust bedroom
floordrobe
vac bedrooms
vac hall stairs and landing

Anyone fancy a HHC at 1pm?

sexymouse

Well done Mumofjusttwo and bebee on your HHC. Bebee, I hope your headache clears up soon. I also got booted off the net, so spent a lot of time on my first HHC sorting that out, hence why I did another. I'm off to find some lunch now, and then I think I'll do the things that require leaving the house ie food shop and getting plus posting a card to my friend for her birthday tomorrow.

likklegibbon

Thanks for reminding me sexymouse -have got to post off my doctors note.
