Weekly Flylady Thread 28th January 2008

lil_me

Sorry posts a bit late, I ended up going with DP to help with the club which was not planned. Will hopefully read through before bed, if not I do hope you are all well and have had a good evening.

Dusty you might have answered my 'why the heck is the gritter out when it's 7 degrees?' on the way home, it's also windy with loads of clouds, hmmmm, snow, brrrr, I'm going into hibernation again

Vanilla, hope your little one is recovering well, big hugs for both of you.

TracyG - i'll join the dusty fanclub...she makes me realise i'm normal and when i'm not normal there's always good advice without making me feel stupid. Poohbear is another one who's good at that!

Skintscotslass - and your excuse is????? Get up early with a torch! Only joking...much as i'm enjoying the 5mGC I wouldn't lose comfy time in bed for it!

I've had a lovely evening with a friend sorting out her wedding, our businesses (we both do the same thing from home) and just putting the world to rights. Sometimes girly time is the only thing that sorts me out!

Anyone want an aero bubble or three? I'm going to sort out a list for tomorrow and go to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Night night xx

Check through one drawer making sure only what needs to be is in there!

*giggles like a loon and moves her squirty bottle of stardrops solution (which makes a fabulous job of the windows AND the granite work surface I might add!) over to the AnW'smums hovel*

*strategically places the flea bomb over Raphaels nest*

*moves the bleach battalion over to the catz and other small furry animals boudoir*

*tucks buttocks back into the rather short black skirt and tries once more unsuccessfully to actually fasten those infernal thigh length red shiny boots*

Tia.. give us a hand here love!

Happy Birthday W for tomorrow. He is 5, right ?
Shirley- hubs wanted to see Alien vs Requiem :rolleyes: which I would have gone along to actually but the reviews were dire luckily, so we are goingto see The Golden Compass. I have read the books and cant wait to see the film. Plus Daniel Craig is in it (yes I prefer him to Vin Diesel any day of the week ...)

mumonamission - well done on the tax return

mudbath - ((hugs)) for your parents and their friend. As you say, puts things in perspective

Dusty - that reminds me I must add dentist appointments to my list of things to get done. Oh and (randomly) I need to send a cheque to someone

tia and ashbart - yes I too am a psychic walking inventory of every item within a 5 mile radius of our house. I try not to tell him where stuff is so he has to look for stuff himself even if I am walking past it, but to be hinest not telling him winds me up even more. Last night I had to look for Philips screwdrivers becsuse "Ican only see flat head ones so you will have to find them for me" :mad: . the philips ones were cunningly hidden underneath the flathead ones

mudbath - I am like you, and a self confessed control frak - like I have to read every post on here. I cant just go I dont have time and post, I must read it all.

right I am up to 1pm today and page 15 aqnd I MUST GET TO BED
Night all
