Weekly Flylady Thread 25th February 2008

kazmeister

Hello ladies, did ya miss me (ok i know i've only been gone 2 days)

Our french student arrived last night and she is lovely, really sweet girl, glad I didnt get a lad. Littlemeister is still being an angel :A and is loving having someone else other than big bro to talk to/play with.

Havent done much flying as such and even though Ive been at home today I've been a lazy pig and just spent 2 hours asleep when I should have been playing catch up. I think the 4 mile trek doing school run and then dropping FS off coupled with trek round the town burnt me out!

Need to work out how to do for tea now, as would like to do roast but it means it would have to be a late one as have stupid times to do stuff. Collect DD 3.15, collect FS 5.30, hair appt 6-7, DS out at 6.30 til 9.30 and OH back from work at 7.30 so whichever way I do it someone has to have tea reheated.

Yeahhhhhh! A really good small local college has just phoned me up and are running a course in May. It's definitely going to go ahead! Yeah, yeah, yeah! xx

mumofjusttwo

Great news re your course Mudbath. Well done on the list too. I think that Pigpen will have to give you whole pack of dogs biscuit today you have done so much.


Any of now to pick up DD and DS.

Hello everyone,

Rumblytum - the nose is no longer bleeding - thanks. But it feels a bit tender right up there. I can blow without seeing red.

Judi - welcome - you'll find this thread really will help you

AnW'smun - lots of POSITIVE vibes heading your way for the weekend. I'm glad you'll have your Dad there with you for moral support - it should make it easier for you.

:cool:ORF update:cool:

Due to power problems at work today (of the type where if they didn't switch the whole lot off RIGHT NOW, there was likely to be a fire :eek:) I have bagged some work to do at home for the rest of this afternoon and tomorrow. So, I've ordered my network camera next day delivery It'll be here tomorrow. I've decided it will be called Buster after the spy Buster Crabbe.... I'm quite looking forward to it.

:cool: update off :cool:

Now off to do some flying whilst it's still light. I'll do the two hours work owing this evening.

Well flying hasn't completely gone out the window, I am going to be doing an HHC soon to get some junk sorted in there and then do the dusting. I am just sitting down to a nice cuppa after chomping some of my first loaf of HM bread. It is delish, will def not be buying any more bread from the supermarket. Children love it too DS had peanut butter on his and DD munched hers with just butter and is now crawling over with her bowl so think she wants some more. I can't wait to try it out on some hot X buns that will def save me some money as DH and DS live on them at the moment.

Mudbath

Ooooh soappie...how exciting!

I've got the piano tuner here as we speak and he needs a quiet house so I can't do anything apart from post on here and read my book. How cool is that!!!

Can't quite believe i've done most of the list! Just kept doing bits. Typical...where is pigpen when i've actually done something!

This will make you laugh. DH went away yesterday lunchtime. I've just noticed the car isn't on the drive. Slight panic though who'd want to steal it i'll never know! Anyway, I phone up DH who tells me it's at the garage...he forgot to tell me. It's been there since Sunday night and it's taken me all this time to realise. I wouldn't mind but I must have walked down our drive at least 20 times since then! At least it shows I don't use it much! xx

Back from helping in school so having a much earned cuppa.

**moan alert**

They have a bookfair at school today/tomorrow with a really poor slection of full price books. They are really drumming it into the kids to come and buy a book (the school gets commission) all the kids today were saying we need to go and you can buy online etc. I hate this kind of emotional blackmail. I will pretend the online bit is amazon and let DS3 choose a book from their (I need to do an order anyhow) so that I get the commission.

**moan over - feel better now**

Back to my PTA notes - plan to have them done by 4:00 so I can do tea before swimming run.

Mudbath

We have that three times a year dusty and it's always the same few mums who buy as they feel guilty. I taught mine the value of money and took them to the charity book shop with the same amount of money - they got half a dozen books each! Emotional blackmail - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
