Weekly Flylady Thread 1st November 2010

lil_me

Oh I enjoyed Apprentice tonight too, I think he'd already seen through her to be honest. What a cow bag she was!

Sat with stew and dumplings round two, don't know what's got into me I'm starving! Annoyed I can't find my large storage box for the rest, will look again in a mo. The lid is there so he must be there somewhere....unless the children (inc DP) have stolen it again for 'things'

Meeting all day tomorrow last one before the biggest conference we've ever done so will be chaos, then swimming group to run, cubs deposit/collection to negotiate.......need to find pennies for camp too and panto, all money isn't it!

Right, TD to sort out, box to find, school bags to sort, then bed *yawns* so will say night night all as my last post for the day x x

seafarers_wife

Hi All :wave:

Hope you are all well, computers at work were down today so I never got a chance to get on :rotfl:

I am sooooo tired, DS crept into bed with me again , he must have an alarm that goes off when his dad goes to work at 3am. :eek: Thing is, he likes to cuddle in, to the point he is almost choking me and I cannot sleep like that, but every time I moved him, he slithered right back across the bed again. I should just take him back to his own room but he is my baby and he will not always want to come and cuddle in with mummy :o.

Good morning :beer: Yesterday evening didn;t quite go as planned DD has split with her first proper BF and is really upset. She had a friend round last evening, who really cheered her up, but she's very sad again this morning

I'm planning an indulgent crafting day today, so HHC 07:30 - 08:00, should anyone want to join me I'll be ironing, tidying my room and changing the bed, and cooking and baking at some time later.

Valli - enjoy your day today :j

Morning
DS has music this morning, but I'm in two minds as to go or not. If he has an accident there it will be a nightmare, but I don't want him to miss out. I think we'll go and take the potty with us, and plenty of trousers...
My room is a tip as OH doesn't seem to be able to get something out of his drawer without chucking a million other things on the floor, or walk the 5 feet to the bathroom to put his dirty things in the washing bin. At least the bedding was done earlier in the week I guess. Slept a bit better last night but still feeling very tired and a bit bleh, need a cuppa I think.
