    Evening campers, a not so poorly Natty reporting in :) I think I am shaking the cold now, but the cough is a lingerer..so I am attached to a Benylin drip and a juice bottle..lol. Anyway I have to keep up with the list this week as we are off on hols on Saturday :)

    And guess what? I actually found last years pre-holiday flylady list in one of my notebooks, and the list of what to pack. How "flylady" is that.. I couldn't believe it when I found them...lol

    Thank you to Flylady Command for keeping us all on track :)

    Eeeps I see we have another natty on the thread, hmmm looks like I'll have to revert to my other nickname - Nats! It could get quite confusing..lol

    Am heading off to bed now, so will post my list, daily and pre-holiday to do list tomorrow when I wake up :)

    Hugs to everyone, especially Toots, Diva, and more importantly lots of hugs being sent to LL.

  • Hi All - and thanks to all at Central Command for keeping things going all Summer long.

    I've been a BAD BAD girl and have let things slip during August... I pushed the hoover round the Living Room once (I think, but it was a few weeks ago...) and I tried to do a S&S from time to time on the kitchen and loos... and that's it....:eek:

    I've even slipped off Toot's list....:(:(:(

    So I'm signing in to ask if you'll have me back again ... and then I'm going to slink out again till Wednesday because I've got to go to a conference on Monday/Tuesday...but now I've signed back on it means I feel I'll need to come back on Wednesday raring to clean... I think.... :D

    Congrats to Piggers BTW - I missed the big event, but hope you are both doing well.

    Love and hugs to all who need or want them
    MissH

    Ha! Found you :D, I think I'm getting ready to get back on my feet now-although my scar from the section is REALLY sore at the moment. DH says he thinks it's coz there's hair in it :(...

    Anyway, DS1 (ooh I now have a DS2-how cool is that? Wanted to assign DS1 a number for AAAGGGEEES:D) is off to reception on Wednesday. It's going to be very odd for me as his settling in period is 4 weeks-2 weeks afternoons, then 2 weeks mornings.
    I really just wanted to pop in and tell Valli that Asda has Colour Coded Pegs;) a pack of 36 is £1. Picked up 2 packs for us as DS1 has "lost" all my blue pegs-and I thought of you.

    There are a few things I want to get done this week whilst DH (oh goodness things have changed in my life whilst Ive been lurking-Im sure he was DF last time I was here?) is on paternity leave-so a little list to get me started off...very slowly:

    • Get DS2's jumpsuits down from loft
    • Dress cot (only just chose bedding recently)
    • [STRIKE]Inform CTC of change in circumstance[/STRIKE]
    • Register birth
    • Reorder marriage certificate (have to leave the house for these so need DH to drive)
    • [STRIKE]Put away maternity clothes [/STRIKE]
  • Can I join too please?

    Yeah, trying to jump in lots and see how it all works out but I will start with Level 1 and increase dependent on each days pain levels and sleep.

    MUST DO's This Week

    Overhaul Study from top to Bottom in prep for Open Uni Start
    Re-List items on ebay
    Send old mobile in for money
    Bank Pet Insurance claim cheque

    Going to leave it there now and see what happens x

    My kitchen isn't perfect but it is much better after catching up with laundry and geting it all put away, bleaching everything in sight and filling a binbag for charity shop.. that can be dumped tomorrow :D

    DS1 has been given his birthday present.. a dongle so he can access the internet.. I did say it comes with strings.. I want to see a huge improvement in his results a college.. he can access more resources from home now so has no excuse.. and gf can too so hopefully she will do well too! :D I hate useless presents!

    Bedding all changed after baby was sick and I leaked on the sheets.. gross!!!

    Sorting uniforms into relevant cupboards tomorrow.. hopefully I will remember where I put DS2's jumpers! I also need to check whose winter coats fit.. and whose don't.. DD2 needs a new coat.. though I can probably sell her old one.. long black hooch thing.. absolutely gorgeous it is.

    Need to buy :- new SK duvet, new table cloth (2m), some big fat squishy pillows and 2 more pillowcases to match my cream bedding.. Dunelm it is then!

    Paid some bills.. just the gas and electric to pay this Friday and I am paid for the month :D .. I love being on top of such things :D

    Off to sleep before fatlump wakes up for a feed!
