    Just to let you all know I have my bad points to...

    I hate bathing the little ones don't know why I just do I hate it too!

    I hate hot weather..the colder the better....(yes even now when its -8) Same here! How people live in hot places is beyond me!

    I have no dress sense whatso ever..I have a t-shirt that I still wear that is now around 15 years old... most of my clothes are coverd in various paint and oil stains... Saying NOTHING.. other than.. 'I'm out in public and my clothes don't match' .. it has become a bit of my 'trademark'

    I love reading almost to an obssesion...I read in the bath untill the water gets cold..let the water out and have been known to sit in an empty bath still reading for around an hour... I do that too.. and get in when it is absolutely scalding hot!! .. I get out of the empty bath wrap myself in a towel and sit on the loo

    I get really grumpy when im tired... I cannot stay awake!! I get in a right grot with myself and growl and snarl..and i hate indirect questions..oh yes.. if you want to know somehting just ask the question damn it!! bushes do not need beating.. just say it!..

    AND.. I bloody hate shopping!!!

    Light fire
    Change and dress baby

    Give baby some milk
    Give baby warm weetabix (not sure why I call her baby when she's 20 months now :eek:)
    Empty dishwasher
    Fill dishwasher and put on if possible
    Empty washing machine
    Fill washing machine and put it on
    If I'm feeling inspired sort wet clothes and hang out
    or put in dryer
    Feed myself
    Put away dry washing on rack
    Do washing up in sink
    Phone and pay doctors bill :j

    :eek: I phoned up and paid for something!!! :eek: I hate using the phone, I panic, hyperventilate etc etc and so will procrastinate terribly. However I was just very brave, phoned the surgery and paid my bill :D So I'm very proud of myself! Not bad seeing as I did it on the first reminder :rotfl:

    List so close to being finished but just need to add a couple of things onto the bottom.
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    Hi Mudbath I'm not too bad thanks, on strong painkillers & pacing myself, not too mention counting down the days til 13 Feb (read that as terrified really:rotfl: )

    More importantly, How are you? You seem to be doing lots. Bit off topic for anyone else, but did you have a vertical or horizontal cut?

    Take care, hope the voice has come back xx

  • Just a quick update:
    Haven't started on my list yet, but everyone has been fed and watered. Gave DS2 some calpol and is down for his nap, just realised I left my phone in there better sneak in and get it - he's such a light sleeper.
    Need to get self and DS1 ready for nursery for 12:30, will try and get some flying done when he's at nursery.
    Built DS1 his train track on the living room floor, which he played with for 5 minutes and is now watching TV! Aaaaghhhhh!
    I think they're might be a Baby Clinic today at 2pm, need to call them and find out. If so that will cut into my flying time, but never mind I need to get DS2 weighed as he is not drinking his milk at the mo and am a bit worried.
    Right best go - got lots to do...
    XxX
    Housework only gets noticed when it's not done.
    My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.
    Can never keep up with the thread - otherwise I'll never get anything done! But hugs to All :grouphug:
    XxX

    Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh lost my list again, would it be possible to have 2 fly lady thread, 1 for list and 1 for chat. (Please dnt smack my bum and send me to the naughty corner)

    Right I have just stopped for a break, herbal tea and crumpets with of course my home made butter.

    This is what I have done so far, completly gutted the hall way and cleared away all the clutter and christmas decorations. There is only Santa;s leg hanging from the ceiling now as I can not get it down. I have swept the stairs and put all the clothes away. I have washed the wood work in the hall and washed all the doors of fake snow and washed the window too. Then to finish I hooverd the floor in the hallway.

    Thanks to the poster that mentioned the filter, it was that, that needed cleaning.

    Well I've just realised the time, so I'd best get changed for work and then make some lunch to eat before I go. They don't start back for the afternoon until 1.05pm after lunch, but I need to make sure I get to the school in plenty of time to find out what I'm teaching this afternoon. I know it's literacy and that they have a library session at the end of the day, but not sure what I'll be teaching them IYSWIM. School is a 25minute drive away.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
