Hi
Haven't really flown at all apart from swish and swipes and laundry, plus puddle patrol. Ollie seems to have got the hang of weeing on the potty, only two puddles today, and one was when we just go back from the shop and we just didn't make it on time. But poos not so much - my poor carpet. Have also dismantled a chest of drawers and defrosted the freezer though, two things that badly needed doing. I don't think I can follow the lists this week, I'm up against it enough, but Im aiming to just do enough so the place doesn't disintegrate into stench - wish me luck!
Hope everyone's ok, hugs and spoons
HxSo, there are these boys,
They kinda stole my heart,
They call me Mummy

oh I am a bad flylady today.
Since my last post I have done very little.
Visited my Mum and helped her with some forms.
I have roasted some butternut squash, carrots and onions ready for souping.
Collected in washing, folded and put away what I could.
Soaked kitchen plants in the sink.
Then I fell asleep.. whoops :rotfl:
I am out all day tomorrow and then its home for a nap before the Saw3D midnight preview so I must do some more tonight. Maybe make a start while stew cooks through and I watch the Simpsons..:rotfl:
Stew is out of freezer for tea and a mix of the roasted veg. Nom nom
Catch ya laters when I have DONE something xxGC 2011

Tea is on and I've just enjoyed a nice bath. Tempted to visit friends down the road, as their son is back from working abroad, but that won't get jobs done. I'll wait until tomorrow, I think, before I descend on them with the DSs, who both get on well with him.
Need to do jobs in kitchen, DR and LR. 15 min in each until tea is ready, I think. Note to self: must not stay up so late again if I want to get stuff done. Too tired.0 -
ShySarah- you must have needed the rest, listen to your body
Hellyboo- well done to your little one! I had a girl but I know it can be harder with boys
LameWolf- BD is snapping at my OH's heels on and off, this time of year is never good for himHugs, hope the migraine goes quickly xx
Pigpen- my dd stopped going to her Dads aged about 13the shame of it is her Dad didn't seem to notice, let alone care
I have done very little today apart from wander round Aldi getting a few bits and bobs, help OH cook tea (nomnom) and have a nap! Well I did say I was having a day of rest!!
Hugs and spoons all round
xxxxGo hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last0
