I have had a light bulb moment! :rotfl:
Maybe we should have a week of flyladies hubby swop!! put your hubby in the 'pot' then we can all take turns to pick one out, you take your new hubby home, and kick him into shape over flying and other household / child type duties, then return him to his original owner at the end of the week, with his report!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
love it

toots happy birthday & probably because you're not on facebook, petition should work tho.
boddy, it's so difficult being nice when you have doubts, congratulations aswell as a ((hug)) because it doesn't sound like an ideal situation and you've been so nice about it.
soappie hope you find a good solution, I hate asking friends to do something then them thinking you are after a freebie/cheap job, makes you feel awkward. I'd never want someone to be out of pocket to help me.
loopy ((hugs)) get yourself a doll, pretend it's him and stick pins in it! Then do what pigpen said.
greenbee I've always been quite good at finding stuff and I spend way too much time online for my own goodI've been doing 'signposting and research' someone called it last week for families for a few years, if someone needs something and I don't know I will come hell or highwater find it for them.
pigpen, they sound like my mornings but with more children and less dogs. DP did take DS2 to school Mon/Tues but that's all he does. If he gets involved he starts shouting because he'd tired and I just end up telling him to **** (insert any desired word) off and do it myself. Today we're back to normal and he's still in bed.
With these superdooper families who rely just on just benefits I do wonder what they will do once the children leave the nest one by one and their income takes a nose dive.
Right, this morning so far - kids off to school, usual nightmares, DS2 pouring brekkie over his clean clothes and changing him twice etc. Took the woofs out, put a washer load on, emptied the DW, refilled the DW.......about all I have done so far so should make a start really
HHC for me 10.30-11am!One day I might be more organised...........
GC: £200

Good morning ladies. I hope toots is enjoying her birthday.
I am feeling very positive today. I'm optimistic that I will get all my flylady jobs done. So if you want to send your husbands round here for training, I should have time later today.
