Weekly Flylady Thread 30th November 2009

Ok I'm a bit late in the day to say I'm in, I can't believe we are up to page 12 already!

I was MIA last week as we had family here and DS & DH have been ill, DS is still ill with chest infection, so we've just been surviving the last few days as DS has ended up in bed with us as he has coughed so badly in night he wont settle on his own. Anyway will catch up with post later!

Oh thx to Toots, Pigpen and Soapie for all their hard work.

Had some good news at work today. My boss has decided to shut down on the 18th December for a long Christmas holiday. :j Works perfectly for me as Miss Tag breaks up on the 18th as well.

OMG, DD can reach the top part of the 6ft tree!!!!!(not as far as the angel but not far off) When do they get so big, don't you hate it when you realise they are growing up

Aww toochoosey I know what you mean. When we first moved into my old house. (Miss Tag's Dad's) Miss Tag could just open and peep into the second drawer of the drawer unit in the kitchen. Now she can almost reach the taps to get herself a drink. :eek:

Time flies by so quickly. I was looking at photos of my oldest three the other day. It only seems like yesterday that they were that little. Hard to believe that they're 19, 17 and 15 now. And it make s me feel old:o

... she's been asking for months for a kitten. I started looking a couple of weeks ago and the ones that we went to see will be ready to leave their mum on Xmas Eve.

It was so hard too pick, but we've got two little tortoiseshell girls.

Green with envy - I want torties (I've a;lways had tabbies - accidentally but hey ho) but our 11 yo gorl is fine and healthy so it may be some time...and she has a personality too (a stupid name for a girly cat but a personality nevertheless)

well at least YOUR kids aren't telling YOU you're ALMOST eligible for the bloomin Axa overs 50s plan with a free parker pen...

Just popping in to check up on you all. Have washed up the breakfast pots (because OBVIOUSLY the kids, who leave after me CANNOT do them:rolleyes: and Ready Brek sets like CONCRETE)
on a positive note though at least DS ate a breakfast before he went out...

ETA Rach it might be a 'blip' brought on by recent stress and visiting boisterous boys but HUGE hugs for you - when 'that clock' starts ticking it ticks LOUDLY as I know - (I almost qualified as a geriatric mother )
Hope you get it sorted.

stars and welcomes done to 240
