Hoots I'll get you added to the list as soon as I get my pc back ( currently nicked hubbys lappy)

I have to finish an assignment this evening and hopefully I'll feel less sicky once I've eaten .. hubby is doing mash and savoury mince.I am really tired as well.. might have to go do some snoozing before food is ready.. and I need to find my jammies I think.. comfy clothes are looking absolutely imperative at the moment... ooh tea.. forgot I asked DD1 to construct a cuppa for me!

Hmmmm still at work so i haven't done anything yet, but having a good look at the list, i know people say that just try and compleate level 1 on your first week but my house is such a mess i want to try and do as much as poss while im still motivated.

Still can't get over the fact that hubby listened to my chat the other night and actually did some cleaning last night... really made my day, is it kinda sad that i got more joy from him cleaning than i did the valantines day prezzy he got me??

Anyhooo back to todays list, last night i told hubby what i was doing with the flylady thread and while im not sure he "gets it" and tbh i'm sure he thinks i've gone quite mad by allowing other people to tell me what to clean and when, he agreed that the house was a tip and that it did need sorting.

This morning i printed out a copy of todays list and shoved it on the fridge, my hubby's face was classic, he just stared at it and said "thats a big list, do people REALLY clean that much", i just laughed and said yes normal people with clean houses DO clean that much, our house was such a tip because we arn't cleaning that much.

Anyway i gently suggested that if he had 30 minutes after work and wanted to help with the list, all he had to do was pick a job and cross it off when it was done and that it would make me a very very happy and un-naggy wife :rotfl:

I have to admit im alittle nervous... was yesterday just a one off?? will he have done anything when i get home?? Hubby's are like dogs you need to praise them loads when they do well, did i praise him enough last night?? will there be a repeat performance?? or will i have to get my big stick and poke him into action?? :rotfl:

one way or the other my house WILL get clean.

[Are that is where i went wrong:rotfl:


I am doing ok. HAven't told DS yet so hope he will be alright.

I think that DH is not waning to be in the same room as me as he has been out all day. I wish I knew if it was that as I would have offered to go out so he could see the children. I don't want to ended up with a petty relationship because whatever way he looks at it we will have a relationship because of the children.....

Ahhhh, Piper, you are lovely and very helpful to mummy, well done, and I am sure Auntie Toots will give you a star... just in case, here is one for you now... :staradmin (PS: Do you like Charmed?)

Evening all

G&B and Greenbee - I'll try steaming them later - thanks
Mumofjusttwo - big hugs love
FunfairPrincess - the dentist - just go do it! Tell them you're scared. If they're any good they'll understand.
Frodders - how did you get on at the museum?
Rosepink - I'm taking daily gas and elec readings at the moment - evidence gathering!
Lady-Liberty - lovely to see you back
Carol22 - hugs on the burn. But I think if it's really hurting, that's a good sign, it means it's not gone deep enough to cause nerve damage. It's when a bad burn DOESN'T hurt that you need to be a little bit concerned. I would suggest you get one of those melanin (?) shiny non stick dressing things and cover it with that. It'll stop you knocking the blister.

Feeling a bit better this evening but still have issues with my nose. There's gunge stuck right up there somewhere which just doesn't want to shift...

But, I need to go and do some flying somewhere this evening...
