Weekly Flylady Thread 16th August 2010

Hellyboo

Blah, I have no energy today, done a few bits but nothing much. I did go to Mr T and doubled up some clubcard vouchers so I got 88 nappies for bub and 44 nappies for DS1 for free, plus I've still got £10 of vouchers to double up so wont pay for nappies for a while :T chuffed with that.

So far I have:

WMx1 and sun is shining so will hang out in a sec
Been to market and tesco
Cleaned kitchen, done dishes
Fed bub x2 and made lunch for me and DS1
Been puked on.

I need a lay down, but can't leave ds1 alone for a second in case he tries to feed bub chocolate or something. A friend of mine's 3 year old carried her newborn down the stairs the other day and I can see that's something Ollie would try too... So I'll get on instead.

Going to:
Hang out washing
Sort out bottom of DS1's wardrobe
Sort out DS1's teddy shelf
Tidy and hoover LR
Prep dinner
Look on ebay for underbed storage bags for towels/bedding/out of season clothes

BTW I have 2 PMs in my inbox but I can't read them for some reason, so if anyone sent me a PM and I haven't replied I'm not being ignorant! I keep trying...

Just reading through could someone let me know what the K in KH means. I understand it's not a compliment for an ex, but can't for the life of me work it out.
Thanks.

pigpen got there first, but modestly didn't tell you she coined the phrase. It applies to exes who don't pay child support and or faff about over contact. Would apply to women who do that too, I'm sure.

Have conquered Mt. Ironmore, Dh has stripped two beds and hoovered upstairs. About to remake beds, leaving all pony duvet covers off beds, so when he have friends to stay next week, all the pony ones are clean and there are no fights over them;)

All dirty washing has been brought up. DW has been emptied and refilled, all rubbish took out, washing load all out on line.

I think i'll do another bit in the kitchen..

Thanks everyone for the concern and well wishes, Rhys is in good form now trying to eat his teddy. :rotfl:

I sometimes wonder if it is worse when mums become the KH.. having grown them and birthed them..

Exes that threaten you at every opportunity, tell the children you won't love them or want them when you get the baby.. resulting in moomin wetting herself every day for the last 2 weeks and currently snuggled up on OH's lap having extra attention and loving (she doesn't want me.. I tried!), threatening to kill you and the new partner and to make you homeless/bankrupt etc... makes you wonder what you ever saw in them TBH.

Valli - WTG our Valli - great about your thread - fantastic wishing well and a brilliant job with the wallpapering - does your OH realise what a gem he has found?

Oh don't worry - I'm drip-feeding that information out bit-by-bit;)
thanks to ALL the well-wishers :rotfl:
By the way because my thread made thread of the week does that mean I CAN go into shops and claim to be 'an important member of MSE'?:rotfl:

:mad: at your KH...the one who cares so much for his kids that he can't even be bothered to keep his access visit schedule.

I dunno what driech is but I bet I wouldn't like it and it doesn't fit well with pegs and washing;)

Been to town. DD 'needed' sunglasses. Since we are on a city break and I expect it to be warm/hot and sunny I have bought some for her. Have also bought a money belt so I can hide my cash under my clothes:cool: We leave Monday morning...

cleaned so far - my room (which was incrdibly dusty due , I think, to DD's stuff being stacked in there), and DS's room.

ooo that means ALL upstairs is done.

still to do

kitchen
loungs
dining room
hall
ironing
