It can't be Friday already! I'm not ready for it. I want it to be Tuesday and then I might stand a chance of getting everything done!

I need it to be Sunday... last sunday then I might actually get started!!!!! I've had a right week of it and next week will be more ordered but it will also be twice as full and i'll be shattered and in bed by half 9!! IF I am home!!!!

I NEED to convince myself I have actually done SOMETHING this week!!

So far this week I have.. climbed mount washmore (27 loads), mount foldemor-notea and mount stuffemin. I vacuumed the downstairs (twice at least in most rooms) and the stairs and swept the kitchen. Scrubbed a fish tank and cured the fish of all that ailed. Made bread, found uniforms, binned 6 binbags of rubbish and recycled a pile 18 inches high. Posted several parcels, paid a few bills attended an appointment and spent 1.5 days in college. Ordered NUS card (do anything for cheap beer me!!) and 2 tesaco shops.

In the morning I have a nail appointment which will be my time off!!

I then have to clean the rabbit cages.. actually if I do that now.. I won't have to do it tomorrow will I??

Ok.. I'll do that now.. and find uniforms while hubby does pack ups.. then I am off to my nest and will find myself a bunch to do tomorrow.

DD1 wants a sleepover on Saturday so I need to ask one of the girls dad if she can come.. he never lets her go anywhere but we are hoping he will let her come here if I ring him and tell him she will be quite safe and supervised and they will absolutely not be allowed to be roaming the streets or drinking alcohol or having boys around.. other than the ones that live here!

Well ladies I have to say a massive thankyou to you all - because I know now I can get my a*** in gear and clean and hoover and dust and polish and get - and keep - my home looking tidy - and when DS has absorbed 'football boots are never under any circumstances, to be worn in the house, especially when your mum has mopped the kitchen you are walking through and vacuumed the stairs you are trolling up' message Flying will be even easier.

I have now decided on a Flychallenge.

This is to be

Sundays will be TOTAL non work days insofar (don't I know some posh words!) as on Sundays I will not do any work related work. By Sunday that will all have been done. There will be food prep/clear to do and maybe some laundry - but that will be it - apart from a daily list (ie make bed). Anything else will be pleasure related ie baking/jam making.
So we'll see how it goes!

Valli, fill his boots with baked beans if he does it again, you can threaten too for now which will probably put him off Sounds like a great idea your little Flychallenge
boddy, I was suprised with the weather too! It's nice to hear your Mum had a good day. Made me laugh about the boss phone call, I'm well know for when I was working 3/4 jobs at one time answering saying the wrong place
Triker pleased to hear you got a car sorted
polka he's soooo cute, bless him!
pigpen he's had Oxybutynin which is what they're giving him a break off before starting the desmomelts, he's actually seen a different doctor this time as his paed is on the sick, his other doctor would have probably said to use both at the same time.
g&b that's what I use the slow cooker for, saving me time on future meals!
kaz ((have a hug)) sounds like it's not been your day when it comes to people letting you down. Well done for getting more organised (please double check if your Wii doesn't arrive soon as have known them let people down with previous offers)
Summermoon we were sort of the same, we were looking for somewhere but didn't have anywhere sorted, I started before we had somewhere or handed in notice
Dusty well done to your DS1
Valli great news that it's covered

Good evening. Well the housework went on hold again but got the 2 lawns cut, I don't know why but we have loads of frogs in the garden, teensy baby ones this time not like the big 'fred' we found before the summer hols. Someone somewhere must have a pond. Unfortunately I had to leave DP to finish off the back when I went for DS2 so fear there are not many left

Tonight swimming went well but children I arranged to come didn't show which annoyed me as we have a waiting list of other children who want to go. Will speak to them tomorrow. Haven't done much this evening, going to concentrate on more housework tomorrow (now the gardens are done, had to make the most of the calm weather!!!) so best make packed lunches and get dogs sorted then bed.

With the Oxybutynin the difference was noticable within a few days.. she was no longer dribbling.. this was almost constant.. likened to a rat lol.. she was also not dashing off to pee every 15 minutes.. she can now, during the day, wait until she has a full bladder.. or as full as is possible. It was just emptying itself when it was half full before. The night times are a whole different ball game! She is back next week and I have a feeling they will triple the dose so she'll be on 3 melts a night.. after that they are referring her to a paed at the hospital rather than community paeds.. they already think it is an issue related to the imperforate hymen she had at birth in so far that she has underdeveloped pelvic muscles.. that one will be interesting!

pigpen

rabbit cages both clean.. and Humbug got back in the communal cage so I am keeping an eye on him for a bit.. if he settles I'll leave him in there.. he isn't trying to kill his brother but he is still frantically trying to hump Lila something she is NOT pleased about!

Pack ups done..

Just uniforms and I may have hubby load the DW.. second thoughts.. I may have him peel spuds for dinner tomorrow.. how lazy am I?? lol

Valli

Thanks for that Lil-me

all I can say is - and I am thinking of my own situatiion only here folks is since there are 7 days in a week if I am contractually employed to work 3 I can do my housework and my P&P (plan and prep not post and packing!) in 3 days and have a really truly day off!

Thanks for all good wishes re boiler - baby mums if your babe is thriving... nuff said! When DS started school 'nurse' weighed him and said - he's overweight then measured him and said and he's too tall - he is as skinny as...in other words he was tall for his age but his weight was in perfect proportion to his height and it was all their fault as they let me bf him on demand f*** me you CANNOT win! Johanne she looks fine in the pic- if they are bothering/ worrying you don't go - they don't come round to check up!

Mine were all BF on demand.. and they are all just teeny.. and 2 are teenier than teeny.. lol... I was told DD4 was 'just perfect' even though her height had fallen off the bottom of the charts and her weight was even lower!! I said.. 'but she is 5 not 3'... 'oh! Really?!' ... says the paed.. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Valli

Pish tosh to Friday's List! I have already vacuumed kids rooms - and that is it! The rest they do! I vacuum as an extra because they have gerbils which make a bit of mess - and only to stop it being traipsed through the house.

I still need to do dining room and if I have some sort of brainstorm, my room. Oh and stuff for work. Like marking - joy! Also ***whispers***bnak aouncct*** and peg out washing...and put ironing away...piece of ****!

See you tomorrow

Nite nite xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
