Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd September 2008

greenbee

Went on for a bit longer than planned:

Wiped kitchen cupboard doors & kick boards
Wiped outside of fridge
Duvet cover & towels off line
Rest of load 3 on line
Cleared floor in kitchen/hall/loo & hoovered
Paid car tax (ironically the quickest thing to do!)

I'm now going to change clothes into something slightly more respectable and go to the farm shop. When I get back, I'll do a quick rummage through the freezer, meal plan and mop the floors I've just hoovered before going to a supermarket or two!

Greenbee if you mop before you go then you won't be thwarted like Tag just was - the floors will be dry when you get back

boddy

Tia, complain in writing to your head of therapy services, the PCT managers should be able to tell you who that is. I spoke to someone pretty high up in therapy services here (hope you don't mind, I didn't mention names/area) and that's what they suggested to do.

Pigpen they're probably either just doing the 'daisy' brand or whatever their calling it or changing the packing, our local one has stopped doing loads of the value stuff so I've been using mainly asda or sainsburys again.

Went swimming, DS2 ended up with a bust lip thanks to DS1 kicking him in the face, poor lifeguard who we know quite well now had to clean DS2s blood out of the sinks and off the floor (I did offer) Was a scramble just getting him out of the pool quickly, wouldn't want him causing the pool to be closed which I think is their rules. Been trying to study since but kids are bugging me, not going as well today and the weather is better, they keep wanting to stay in when it's glorious out there. Tempted to take them home tonight because at least I can send them to other rooms if they insist on staying in. Will see how the rest of the evening goes as I need to feed them soon anyway, might just tell them either play out or clean the car out (full of their ****) that'll shift them. Fingers crossed DS1 sleeps better tonight, he did 4 hours last night and now I have the yawnies!

Right, dinner, forgot to cook something and bring it, so emergency dried meals tonight, beef risotto I think, doesn't look too great but sure it'll be fine, the paella one I had was quite nice.

They've had the daisy junk in for ages.. but I can't use that it is full of carp.. I can literally only use the value brands or someone reacts to it.. I'll send hubby shopping I think.. he can go check out the shop up the road they usually have some in..

Valli, a bissom is a nice way of saying 'that little cow' cos it's a kid.

Not going to complain as it is my fault too... I knew his fingers were nto right and I could have taken him to teh GP who would have chased the OT/physio department, but I didn't. I just kept phoning and never really bothered chasing them up as I thought he was doing so well. The splints are just so in your face, I can deal with the foot ones, you never see them, and the way he walks and what not, the splints are just so... scary...

One good thing, when I become an Orthotist, I will remember this and be able to relate to my patients better.

Got my bag (oh I missed you bag of mine heart) completed my tesco order for tomorrow, yea we can eat this week... Need to find food for tonight, DS2 fell asleep in teh car and is still snoozing on the sofa, will wake him up in a bit.
