Weekly Flylady Thread 14th July 2008

DH has been officially promoted to "get Grace in her pjs and into bed" boss. I struggle every night as she runs around refusing to let me get her in pjs, brush her teeth etc. Tonight I was out as I took DD1 to twirlers and got back to find DD2 in bed fast asleep. Apparently he told her to bring her nappy and pjs down, so off she toddled, he got her in them no problem, and she had her teeth brushed no problem. So that's one job I'm getting rid of :rotfl:. She does a "virtual" two fingered salute to me :rotfl::rotfl:

Ocado been - bag of flour split so I will be requesting a refund and they have charged me full price on a buy2 get 3rd free (twice). Still it did come early and is now all put away.

Going to put the washing on and call it a night.

REDMADCURLS slow down, you're making us lazy ones look bad
juliejim I usually use this recipe http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-local/frameset/article/212.html but they don't usually rise 'as' well as normal ones.
mumofjusttwo, if the school is excellent with children with special needs, she might not need a statement, I obviously am not aware of her case or what support she needs additionally to what she is getting etc but just an observation I have made with my own son. My youngest son's come on extremely well in a similar school where the staff have been amazing, if he was still in his old school I'd have been applying for one by now.

Oh todays tidying went clean out of the window when DPs phone battery went flat, he remembered then that on Monday we didn't put the box for it in the car, so had to phone round where we went in the Metro Centre, luckily it'd been handed in. Went and got that then wasted 3 hours there . Came back just in time for DS2 getting home from school, stupid traffic. Took DS2 to his performance, his Junior school uniform had arrived early, told them to take it back because I haven't accepted he's leaving infants yet he's my BABY! From there dashed through to swimming, got home about 7.45pm ish and dinner then DP went to work.

Decided against doing a big shop for now until DP makes his mind up, he's on about going away next week. We weren't supposed to go away until August, so will need to change stuff, take DS2 out of school for 2 days (which I am not keen on but they won't be doing much I have been told) we're going to discuss it tomorrow and decide before he finishes school tomorrow, will need to find vacancies first.....and do a lot of other reorganising inc dentists etc. We need to do loads before we can go away, might spur him on, saying that miracles are rare here :rotfl: He's trying to talk me round saying I can take the studying with me and it'll be easier for him to entertain the boys while I do it...hmm..

Right, well this evening I have been filing and more filing. My desk is now clear just a few other piles to sort through, well about 5. I have put a bag of paperwork in the recycling aswell. Washers on, if I can be bothered I will empty it tonight and get the swimming stuff in. I'll continue with filing for now, I started doing this post a good 20 minutes ago but getting distracted filing bits so while I have motivation I will continue. Bums, I've just remembered my beds covered in piles of clean laundry to be put away.

Why? It is a complete one-off, trust me - thats why I am bragging because I doubt it will ever happen again, plus, since I have Mr RMC, the baker, working in the kitchen/study/utility I do the bear minimum in those rooms so really I am not so good

Lil-me - that recipe uses a lot less flour - I wonder if that's the problem - I've just been substituting the same amount of GF flour in a normal recipe IYSWIM. Mind you hopefully I won't have to make any more, just used the last of my GF flour as the boy I make the GF cakes for is in year 6 so leaves tomorrow!

I've washed as many dishes as I can fit on my drainer and that's about it. Probably do some more baking in the morning as if I don't I'll have to go somewhere in the morning and buy something for the kids to take to school!

Going to go to bed now

See you tomorrow

Hugs

Hi

I have done todays list, i'm not going to do a list for tomorrow because we're off on holiday on Saturday. I'm just going to change the beds, flick a duster around and hoover in the boy's rooms. The rest of the day will be spent washing, drying, ironing and packing.

No can't do it now... eyes are starting to fail. Going to bed. Will have to get stuck in tomorrow while DD is in school....I see a Star Wars marathon coming on for DD when she gets home Thankfully they're having an early lunch tomorrow so I'll be able to get away with not having to worry about that and will just need to think about something for tea that's not pasta :rotfl:

Night all :wave:

Hi all,:hello:
I've had a horrid headache for three days so not actually done anything but keep the kitchen clear and cooked dinner.:mad:
DH makes sure the house don't fall into complete disaster thankfully.

My nice was finally evicted from the womb by c-section on Tuesday night, they were allowed home today and are doing fine.:j
SIL said 3 months ago she was gonna deliver at 11.32pm 15thJuly (midwife said 8/7), amazingly she was born 15/7 11.26pm!!!:eek:

Next door is having a party (we were pre-warned) so I doubt there will be much sleeping here tonight, which makes tomorrow a write-off.:(
