Weekly Flylady Thread 15th December 2008

mumoffour77

Good Afternoon.........Kids had their annual trip to the robin hood pantomine in Belfast today, they thoroughly enjoyed themselves DD was particularly delighted when a man dressed up as a woman came and kissed their principle on the cheek!!!! then prentended to kick him on the bum!!

Very little flying done today as i had decided last week to give up the course as DD is going to be hospitalised in jan for a minimum of 2 weeks and I have to look for nursing homes for DH next year and DS3 has "developmental issues" with his teeth!!! So more hospital visits!!!!
I rang the course co-ordinator who asked me to come in for a chat........Im not leaving now......she said that I was sitting on a 78-80 average and she wasnt going to let me leave, she spoke to my tutors who have all said that it would be a crying shame if I left.....so she had devised a plan of action that is actually workable!!:) My UCAS application has to be in for the 15th Jan thats the only deadling that is a definate.......every other deadline for my assignments dont count now.....I can hand them in when I am happy with them!! I only have 4 more to do......and then exams, My psychology exam last year was a great pass....so much so that if I didnt do another exam or assignment in psychology I would still pass......My Biology assignment was 90% and the exam I got 84% so all I would need to do in the next assignment is get 40% and thats passed. They are a great bunch of tutors and the course co-ordinator is fantastic!! So there is some pressure off my shoulders!!:)

thanks MOF77 - nothing compared to what you are doing! I am soo pleased that they have worked with you and found a way to finish - it def would have been a shame to lose all that hard work - well done you on what you have achieved so far - some great results there.

You have a busy time ahead with DH and now the children's problems - poor DD - is she ok about having to go in or a bit scared? Its obviously something serious that she is having to be in all that time - I hope it all goes well for her,and that its not too far from you so that you can visit a lot - take care of yourself too remember!

well, that doesn't seem a lot but i did polish the chrome acc's, done DD some food, sorted the cookie- v.nice- but not a lover of chocolate, emptied and reloaded TD, took clean clothes upstairs and brought dirty laundry down...

mumoffour77

DD is sort of excited about going in....then she asks am I staying with her!! Yes I am they are giving me a bed:)
DD has always had eczema from birth, but as well as that a consultant has diagnosed thet she had Ichthyosis Vulgaris aswell.....apparently its a condition that affects 3 people in a million and it meand that if her skin isnt kept moisturised 24/7 it peels off/Falls off. DD wants to get rid of the eczema so much that she asks doctors to be "careful" when taking off her wraps as she could lose some of her precious skin!!! The Drs are great....and last week when she was at the hospital her consultant asked if some student doctors could sit in on her appointment DD said no!! I had to explain that the drs were learning and needed to see what problems she had...so that maybe someday when they were big drs they might find a cure for her and other little kids with her problem!! She agreed but on the condition that she could speak to them....so she spoke to them saying that when she was sleeping she scratched.....but didnt know she was doing it, and that she was waking up mummy and mummy had to clean her up and she would really like it to stop cause all her friends mummies always said to her mummy(me) that she always looked tired.....It was very funny!!!
