Weekly Flylady Thread 21st January 2008

poohbear59

Hi just a quick post as off to the doctors in a moment. DH is now in depths of depression and hasn't been out of bed for 5 days. I am hoping and praying that he will get up later and I can persuade him to go out tonight. Not much flying done again today.

Afternoon all, very wet and windy here although I think the wind is to get stronger before it goes.

Not much flying here yet this morning but did go out a walk with a friend and the dogs, completely wet through but the dogs had a ball and its the first decent walk they have had this week due to weather and sick kids, I needed a complete change when I got home and then got wet through again while at Mr T loading the shopping into the car and then filling up with petrol:mad:

Dusty - I use a diary that my OH gets free from work to record surveys etc and then just cross them off when the points etc are received I also use it as a record for my clicks and vouchers ordered.

Shell - hope your girls are feeling better my DD has gone back to school today but has basically slept for the last 48 hours only really waking for more calpol.

Lil_me - our trampoline has not yet been moved back from the gales last week so now doubt this afternoon it will move further over the garden.

Rach - best wishes for tomorrow hope all goes well.

Pigpen - what sort of thing do you list on ebay, I am madly decluttering the house before it goes on the market and was thinking that most things would go to charity is it worth listing them on ebay (its a whole mixture of clothes, books, dvd and general carp) and then if they don't sell pass to charity.

Sorry can't join in the HHC at 2.30 as need to head out to collect the girls will be back later for one though and to sort out a wekend list.

Spooky that is just what I started to do last night. I intend to put my invigilation and ms in there too.

Bedroom done, took longer than planned but then I had not planned any sorting. Just going to update my list and start my email replies.

Ok you wonderful folks I need some advice!

I have not done any baking in ...............urm .................... don't know! but I am planning on doing a chicken pie (pie top only) can I use bread flour (the only flour we have) or do I need to get plain/self raising?

pigpen

oooh.. 28 watchers and still 2 bids.. the shelves have a bid on already and 5 watchers so hopefully they'll go for a lot more.. part of me wants to order another mug set.. see if they bring more shelves lol

I have decided I am officially depressed.. and have been a few days from what I can recall. I am seriously hoping it isn't the SAD kicking in.. I am freezing cold.. absolutely exhausted and plain old fed up.. *sulk*

Dragon.. I'd use the bread flour!.. but then I use plain flour for bread..

The_Dragon

Thanks Pigpen - I was a bit worried about the amount of gluten in bread flour but I have a light touch with pastry so I could be okay. Mind you this week I may just buy JusRol!

lil_me

Mudbath sorry must have crossed posts, hugs for you and your Mam when it comes to the kitty, I am uselessly pathetic when we loose a pet and cry for days

Poohbear, big hugs for you and your DH, hope he comes out of the 'downtime' soon, cn't be easy with the work situation etc.

Pigpen, it's nearly spring time, hang in there, won't be long (hopefully) have a ((squishy hug)) from me

DS2 collected, DS1 got home earlier than usual, staying in tonight as usual and I am pleased because I can see my car rocking from side to side on the drive :eek: Worried about DP going to work because the taxi is higher than it is wide, I'll try not to fret too much, but I know I will. I now think I know why Megan was licking up dog hair, she then started eating grass and proceeded to poop all over the kitchen floor. Obviously upset stomach time.

Forms all flled in, posted aswell as my sisters birthday card, bloomin' stuff nearly flew out of my hand.

Oh no:eek: my next OU stuff has arrived, I'm not ready yet, I wanted to finish unpacking and sorting before it came, course starts 10th February. Do you think they'll get cross if I post it back with a message of 'Not yet please'? :rotfl:

DP shouted several times at LXdirect, called the driver back who phoned yesterday at 8am who denied all knowledge of phoning (well how did we get his number then?!!!) They've now said they won't collect until 6th Februry, where the heck I am supposed to keep it until then I don't know. It's a blinkin' fire hazard at the minute as it's between the stairs and the front hall!

pigpen

I am now going to chuck myself a MAJOR big time off the wall wobbly..

Please excuse the small interruption..

normal service will most probably resume shortly.......
