    :rotfl: as for Flylady, the name may be similar but there is no odd looking fairies in here......fairies just no odd looking ones, ish

    I've had a busy day but didn't get as much done as I hoped. DS2 off school, vomits again but seems to be anxiety related again so I've phoned his school MH/ASD advisor asking for a call back as I know she's away at the minute. I'm so regretting moving his schools but it just wasn't doable for so long, it'd be impossible to get him there now. So only way I can do it is make this school step up or look at another local one so he settles. Kids eh

    Play room is clean and tidy as is the bathroom and downstairs toilet so not all bad. I've done some more work in the kitchen and in the middle of making a huge root vegetable soup. I've realised after all my flings, I've flung most of my soup pots with lids......so I need some more now I am making loads of soups and casseroles. I'm doing a curry for tea tonight, a reheat sauce but need to do the rice and I think I will make a start now while I wait for DP to get in from his vol work......get some more of the kitchen done while I am there

    Grrrrr children bickering, hopefully back later

    Hugs and spoons where needed xxx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • oH has been to 3 lots of cricket nets this year - the first set left him with a very sore neck, the second session was okay, but after the 3rd session tonight DS has run him to Casualty - he has dislocated his thumb!

    There seemed to be lots of blood too.....and of course he was wearing his whites........

    Wonder what time he'll get back?

  • Hello everyone :D Not been doing to much flying this week partly because of the garden, partly because I am getting back into my running which takes up a big chunk of my day.....anyway, that will not stop me and I am going to get as much of the lists done as I can, but might only be level 1 or maybe 2 for a while....also, something has happened to my tracker pad so unless it gets fixed PDQ I won't be able to copy and paste the lists so will have to manually write what I have done :mad: Am getting DH to take it to the shop to get it fixed as soon as possible (which means between now and eternity..!) Off to check the list and see of there is anything on there that I have done this week :o

    Hope all you lovely fly ladies are ok x Can't keep up with thread due to above mentioned reasons, so will give out any hugs, sticks, spoons etc as required x
