Flylady Challenge - Take 4

PiixxySu

hello ladies :hello: and FLYBOY (gosh, i am sorry! i completly missed your farewell party!?!?!?!? how could i!??! - hope it was only a rehearsal and the 'real' one will be some time soon )

didn't mean to neglect you but dd was rather ill :sad: from saturday evening on she had a temp of 40 (!) for 36 hours. but because she was still crying all the time i sent OH to take her to the gp (after begging on my knees for an appointment :eek:) - earinfection and very red throat :sad:
and after a few days in our bed we had a big fight earlier to get her back into hers (and she's only 1!! :shocked:) - so here's hoping to a quick recovery!!

so what did i miss????????
LYNZ, HEX i saw you are moving!!!! :dance: :j - finally!!!
SHELL well done to sticking with it. i see you get on really well too :T
PIGPEN ouch! 5 cold, 1 flu (:eek) and 1 'get on with it' - i don't know HOW you do it :think:

no plans for us. the sun is shining so i might send OH out with ds to the park. poor boy needs to lose some energy!!! (ds i mean )
BM is on, d/w is on
SC will go on shorty. need to find a nice beef curry recipe

Hey,

My weekly rota consists of

Monday, take kids to school, pick up at 3pm.
Tuesday, take kids to school, pilates at 9.30am to 10.30am. Pick ds up at half 11, dd at 3pm, college from 6pm to anything to 11pm.
Wednesday, take kids to school pick up at 3pm
Thursday work all day, college in evening till 11pm
Friday, work all day, not home till 8pm.
Sat, normally at home most of day doing things with kids.
Sunday normally social, maybe college in evening.

In between all that i have to cook clean and do about 16 hours of homework (lol... im not joking, mon and weds are normally homework days).

I should be able to spare 1/2 hour in morning and evening every day apart from tues thurs and friday and possiblev sat night and sunday! lol I don't have much time left! Can we add an extra hour into the day?

What do you consider at normal tasks, e.g. what would be your list for the week?

ooh - I don't know - I think I might put on my Savage Garden concert DVD or the Darren Hayes concert DVD :happyhear but I think that would take my mind away from the ironing!!!!! I still haven't got to the ironing yet - went swimming at lunch time with my friend - so at least done some exercise today and feeling more motivated for the afternoon - going to grab some lunch and then go to the PO before school run - will tackle ironing on my return

Don't think I've got an updated list as yet!!

Well I am just waiting on the paint to dry on DD's dolls house (got the fire up high and the pieces infront of it as I need to leave in 10 minutes to pick DD up :eek: ) and I've even managed to wash the brushes through;)

Now, plan for when I get in has been changed. I'm going to tackle our ebay pile, it's almost done but I want as much as possible listed tomorrow to finish in 5 days time Then I will give it another 7 days but then anything left is going to a charity shop TOLD OH that before, didn't ask, TOLD him :rotfl: Right, need to do a couple of 2 min jobs and then I'm off to pick DD up.

Hi, all! Just a quick post. I still have major computer probs, and have been computerless today. Upside is that I've done loads, as I've not been distracted Downside is my list was on paper, so I can't show you all

Hopefully back to more normality later in the week.
