    Morning,
    Ahead of myself today as I did the bedding on Monday :j DS1 off to school soon and DS2 has jabs this morning. Also popping to Mr T as I forgot my list when I went yesterday and forgot stuff! Been up all night with the baby who is so close to having a tooth - you can see it's nearly through and feel all the little ridges. I hope it comes through today because another night on the sofa while rocking him in his pram is not going to be appreciated.
    Must get breakfast for DS1 and get everyone dressed, then will look at lists properly when I get back x

    Morning all,

    Had a odd dream last night, 2 flyladies and myself were 'invited' to do the catering for the Royal wedding, so we made them plates and plates of jam sandwiches, (it was the best we could come up with!!) and served it with lemonade!!! needless to say the Royal family were not impressed and sent us to the Tower for 5 years!!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Otherwise

    Floors done
    Rubbish out

    Hugs to all xxx

  • Morning all!
    Think I'll have to be sacked as a flylady as I'm not going to get much (anything?) done today. I'll be back from school run at 9 15 and have someone coming at 10 who's stopping for lunch so it'll probably be 2.30 by the time they've gone. Worse still all I want to do is go to sleep-in that sicky 'I need my bed' fashion as I had less than 3 hours yesterday after my nightshift!
    Sockdrawer- the beds we have at work are Huntleigh, but I've googled them and they don't seem to do the exact same ones but we got ours 6 years ago when we moved to the new hospital and have only a small amount of minor problems with them-we have 26. It would certainly be worth your sister asking various places (?childrens respite, district nurses, OTs etc) what they would all suggest rather than going on one persons recommendation. The other thing is that they can be hired-would it be worth getting her name on the list and hiring in the meantime? Mattress wise we use Alova if not as much pressue relief is needed or Nimbus 3 if it is. Again these are suitable for elderly care but there maybe something better for young disabled. I have say that I think its appalling that they have not been given these things anyway and that they haven't even been given lots of guidance from the professionals who are involved. I hope you are able to sort something out.
    Hugs to those in need.

    The bedroom..................noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!:eek::eek::eek:

    Finished the bathroom yesterday so it's now all sparkly. Lots to do today - dogs to walk, toys to collect from tesco, few groceries, work and, of course, that lovely flylady list.
