    Also I am still feeling really really pathetic, is pregnancy a reason or an excuse or neither??


    Pregnancy and early childhood/motherhood has its own rhythms, it should be honoured. I remember days when I achieved so much and other days when nothing appeared to get done - apart form 3 healthy children being developed, birthed and cherished! If you work out what makes life go smoothly for you then do that (i.e. washing washed, dried and put away). My youngest is now 3 and it is only now that I feel I can get to grip with the long neglected jobs :rotfl:. But that might just be me :cool:.

    I am aiming for dailies, batch cooking pasta sauce, a soup and bake a cake. Oh and children's homework! I will try to get on top of my personal list ready for the flylady's in the week.

    Hugs and spoons.x

    Morning All,

    Happy Birthday to Seafarers Wife :beer:

    Feeling very bunged up but a little more positive this morning and my coffee is tasting soooooo good.

    Am up, washed and dressed and will be going out about half nine ish with my mum, sister and her baby to the local garden centre. We are going to treat ourselves to a delicious breakfast and coffee then have a look round at all the festive decorations and gifts. I personally will be spending time adoring the orchids and the super expensive chrimbo decorations i.e. those lit up house and train scenes.

    Then I hope to spend more time studying and building my notes for my assignment. All being well.

    Think I might start to do a few bits of the proper flying lists tomorrow as my house is really showing the evidence of my not flying. I had to remove a dead spider from the kitchen windowsill this morning and noticed just how grubby things are getting. Would not have bothered my pre-flylady self but now it does.
    Amazing this flying thing it even changes how I am thinking not just how I manage my home. :D

    Hugs, Love and Spoons

    Shysarah glad to hear things picked up:D

    Toots Can you get to see a hospital dietician?? I have a quiet bell ringing at the back of my head that says anybody who's poorly needs to be excessively careful about dieting. Although you need to create a calorie deficit to lose the weight, you need to keep to good, varied, vitamin and mineral abundant food for healing.

    Have a good day, all, I'm about to do a LOAD of packing for the record and book fair. :D

    Morning all!

    Happy Birthday to Seafarer's wife - hope you have a lovely day.

    Well I'm feeling under the weather today - got a cold, and possible tonsilitis, and feel sick. Have taken my temperature, but it's 36.7, so I'm obviously not feverish. I decided not to do the food shop yesterday, so have that to look forward to today, as I wanted to go to Portsmouth to go to Debenhams as it's their 25% off weekend. I thought I could get a pretty (not slutty) bridal nightie for our wedding night, and depressed myself thoroughly, as nothing looked good, and I ended up feeling fat and unattractive. I'm hoping that I'm more successful when I go to Southampton in a couple of weeks and look in La Senza otherwise I don't know what to wear.

    Anyway, enough moaning ... Moon did lots of flying for me on Friday, so most of the washing has been done, which is good as I don't really want to be going in and out of the cold all day to the garage (although I've still got to put it all away as Moon never does this).

    Well I'm off to have a look at the supermarket websites to see what's on offer, then plan our meals for the week.

    Hugs and sticks and spoons to all who need or want them.
