Weekly Flylady Thread 8th September 2008

Dustykitten

It is one of those days.

Poor DS2 has a really upset tummy, so I've had to change his bed.

Now had a mail from DS1 saying he has district football trials and can I take his kit to the school.

At least I've cleaned the toilets and sinks.

Will have lunch and then 30 minutes sorting in the family room

pigpen that's the ones he's on about trying with DS2 when he goes back, he'll be 8 at the end of January. .

So he is about 6 weeks younger than DD3 then.. She was due 25th January.

Oxybutynin Hydrochloride are the other ones she has.. these stop her bladder muscle being twitchy and causing her to dribble and not know when she actually needs to wee.. she just felt like she needed to wee ALL the time.

The desmomelts she has 2 right last thing as she is going up to bed.. no drinks or teth brushes afterwards etc. They don't taste of anything and melt in about 3-4 seconds. 1 made no difference what so ever but 2 we have had a couple of dry night.. I think 3 is the maximum they can give them though.

Off to sort a bunch of bits for college on Monday and Tiddles wants a film on..

Stuff the list this week I can't be faffed.. but I have a few bits need doing..

And now for...my catch up post. I’ve decided to use these as my way to break up the day-sort of into four sessions...early morning, midday, late afternoon, evening /bedtime. That way I can keep up with the thread and pace my day. When I have less to do I can visit more-if I have more to do I’ll need to visit less. Although I made a list last night of all the things I’d like to do before I consider my house in law worthy. Not that I’m expecting a visit soon or that my MIL is judgemental. Quite the opposite actually, she’s a darling...and an organised one too. She works all over the world but has her routine such that when she gets back she really needs a day to get the house in shape-she has everyone well trained. Which I guess is why DF is so good about chipping in (apparently only when I’m slacking off though). It’s sort of the benchmark I aspire too.
Wow what a ramble.
Valli you’ve not been very kind to yourself this week-calling yourself thick, self absorbed. And now you want to do 12 HHC’s in one day?
Holly,wow what a list!!!!
Orkneystar Hope you feel better hun-hot water bottle and I diclofenac tab for me when I feel that way with my hip-will that work for you?
Boddy what work do you do? I don’t think I’ve ever asked or heard elsewhere-and I’ve always wondered what you mean when you talk about your meeting and greeting?
G&B which one did you use? I have a sort of combined favourite for DF. Chicken, cannellini beans, kidney beans, sausage and chilli powder plus one jalapeno (only one if I’m eating coz I’m not that big on it) add some chilli powder, coriander and a bay leaf with a tin of toms. It’s not really a chilli as such (more a chilli dish) but its incredibly good and so easy in the slow cooker.Yum
Tooti wasn’t it you I gave tips to regarding the BM? Why are you buying bread? Naughty!
Dustykitten another site thats really good for those is the register. DF checks it everyday so that he knows what to update the virus servers for and what to tell those nutty entry level receptionists when their friends send them crazy emails. Off the subject a bit-Im one of those like Triker etc kids. I panic often about the end (or my end) (and yes, I know it’ll happen so quick I won’t know) but when things happen in the media that have to do with science and technology (like the Hadron Collider) he always askes “did you check the reg?” he’s been nagging me to read the article their as he said it would make me feel better. I’ve only just done it now and it did make me feel better and its interesting reading too.
Rach whether you’ve done your washing or not is not the question. Legally he should only be in to check maintenance needs .This process is supposed to benefit you the tenant in the long run as you can negotiate repairs during the course of the lease and know what you’re looking at instead of taking the hit from your deposit at the end of the lease. (I just went through it moving from a studio that was falling apart-they tried to knock us for it but I had kept records of all the reports and made to the office and the lack of action, they sent out an assessor who laughed in the agents face saying even if Id left grease everywhere, the building was such he was surprised it hadn’t fallen down on us). Still, I know its nice to have it clean when they come-my new LL is great-he was a bachelor when he lived here and even just the little bit I do impresses him. Although we do only see him when we ask to.
Wilff hope you find the dog soon
Pigpen you and your animals make me laugh-Im kind imagining Dr Dolittles house

Off to do the bathroom and then put away whats in the TD

We had an information evening at school last night and every teacher made a comment about getting children to bed early def by 9 but before that and letting them read if they were saying that they werent sleepy.
valli - fingers crossed you get your boiler fixed, ours has packed in and Bgas wouldnt even look at it because its so old, we have a local plumber coming next week to take it all out and put in a new one, so hoping it doesnt turn cold for the next two weeks.
denisef - well done toyour DS you must be very proud.

g&b - good luck at uni this afternoon
summermoon- yes def get rid of your junk I didnt quite manage to clear out all our rubbish and now have boxes full of rubbish that will be getting binned I just need to find them amongst the boxes of stuff which we are keeping.

polkadot I was really touched by what you said. I felt really emotional reading it all through this morning. I understand entirely what you mean, and I appreciate you taking the trouble to tell me too. :A

Plus, I love how it feels when you're getting more done that you thought you could.... re: cleaning the house, admin etc etc .... suddenly it's like..... yay!! I can do it!!! :j :j :j I'm getting so much pleasure from the house being clean and relatively tidy! :T So, good for you chickie!!

Toots and lil_me and froddington Thanks guys, it is bloomin draining. And yes, you're right, I've got the apps down to the bare minimum! They just make me feel sad. Still it's done now... till the psychiatrist next week :rolleyes: Plus froddington I hope you're Dad is doing ok, sending warm wishes, and positive vibes his way.

Denisefowler Your boy looks so proud, and rightly so, good for him, and good for you helping to achieve. And you made me laugh when I read this.... "SarahShattered - glad you got over the appointment in the end and hope your OH gave you a hug when he got home to make up" Flower, you're as big an optimist as I am!!! Did he heck!!! :rotfl: Whose OH bought her Flakes.... I want him?!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Valli Is it fixed yet? Or are you still thumb twiddling? I hate being stuck in waiting for the engineer! :rolleyes:

Summermoon Mine too babes!! 6am is totally standard. 5.30 on a bad day!! No wonder I'm Shattered :rotfl:

amethystcash Leave it babe, it'll come round again next week! If you're feeling :A you could change the bed linen? How's that for a compromise?!!!

Dustykitten Hope DS2 gets better soon... (((hugs)))

flybabybunting I'm really glad you feel less worried today about it. That's why i hate those places! You were quite happy with the way you were doing stuff before you went, your baby was clearly very happy too.... nothing's changed, they've just weighed him!! Everything's still the same as it was before you went. You carry on trusting your instincts. You'd see if he wasn't thriving I'm sure.

Hope everyone is doing ok today. Any HHC's coming up??
