Weekly Flylady Thread 4th July 2011

pigpen

2 more loads of washing in.. I am starting to feel like a pantomime dame!!!
TD refed
bedsheets from the childrens beds hung out in the rain.
Boys beds have clean duvets on.. no pillow covers as I appear to have not washed those somehow.

DS3 being special about it all.. I moved his stuff and interfered with his cushions and made his bed clean and comfy.. and.. purely and simply to make him miserable I washed his dressing gown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has attacked trees and toys and himself and stamped and stropped and screamed.. I told him I'll be buying him new trainers if he doesn't stop being so silly!

Greenbee - I have managed to remove my running jackets (spirng and winter) from the hall and put them upstairs ready to parcel up. Stressing, but I think it is clear a year on from the original flare that I am never going to run again. *hyper-ventilates*

Not necessarily, Hex - I couldn't even hold my toothbrush or a half full cup of tea without dropping it a couple of years ago. Now I can play bass, all essentially unmedicated, as the side effects and complications of the DMARDs were too much for me to agree to them. Never say never!

However, if you do need to protect your joints more than running will allow, there are alternatives such as swimming or Tai Chi as well as the ones Greenbee has suggested.

Rain came, so I was saved from washing the windows again :J


I've had Minion and her Friend-that-is-a-boy :cool: round doing some project work again. Fed them both salad, cheese, ham and French stick. And they have made a life size raven out of cereal packets and sticky tape - what's more, it flies. Well, glides, anyway.

She's upstairs using a hugely expensive Dead Sea scrub on her manky feet at the moment and I am stuffing baguette and melty brie into my face, with the splats in the garden on moth patrol

Love, hugs, sticks and mules as appropriate to all!

catching up on thread a bit, its so lovely to read everyone's news, I have missed you all

hex - hope you dont mind me asking but I gather you're not running any more ? What happened ? All ok I hope x

lil_me hey missus good to see you


Well earlier I managed few bits:
- kids fed
- dinner things cleared up
- kitchen cleaned
- some decluttering done
- playroom tidied
- shopping put away
- wash on
- dinner for hubby and me
- sports bra out of wash for tomorrow, will do rest in morning
- and a mystery solved! Couple of days ago we found a zippo lghter down the side of the sofa, neither of us smoke and we've been wracking our brains whose it could be. Finally worked it out tonight and it will be reunited with its owner tomorrow.

Got an early start tomorrow, have been doing training with a trainer in desperate bid to shift the baby weight, money coming out of my savings but it feels worth it to me. Anyway have made promise that I will get up early tomorrow and run before the kids are up. I am not a morming person , this feels just wrong! But am going to give it a go.

Just doing some finances stuff before hitting the sack. Night night all:)

Happy Birthday to those I've missed

Welcome to any newbies.

I'm going to be thirty-ten in 2 weeks

Frittered_Away

No results today (grrr) and nothing happened at the dentist today (appt next week for extraction) so I got myself all worked up over nothing! :mad:

Just slept for 5 hours, not great, no idea when I'll get tired again and there's nothing to do here, even less at night. Argh. Suppose I could always start scrubbing the place...

Hugs lil-me...

Sounds scary Boddy..glad you are ok ...

Hope the birthday peeps both had a good day and were spoilt xx

Today has gone fairly well..Lo had his first ever hour at school....he seemed to enjoy it...seems really funny seeing the same teachers and helpers as they were all there when my older children were at that school

Got 4 loads of washing dries and folded

Hoovered under all settees and all downstairs

Dwx 3

Made a yummy chocolate cake

Did an hour sorting in my room...dirty clothes in basket...socks paired...clean clothes away...beds made ..tidying done ...looks better in there now.

Have to be leaving for bus at 8.30 tomorrow morning to get to Dental hospital for 10am...please let it just be to see what needs doing...really cant cope with him receiving treatment....he will refuse needles so will probably be gas ...not the best option on public transport...OH needs to be there when treatment is done as he drives....and breathe .....

Need to do an on-line shop but dont know if I can be bothered tonight...suppose it could wait till I get back tomorrow afternoon

Love to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you for the Birthday greetings. I have had an interesting day. Was just finishing lunch out with DH and school rang for us to go in again.
Like the Queen I'm having 2 birthdays this year to make up for it. I'm not ageing 2 years though, think I'm going to subtract 10 years instead.

Flying today= 5 bin bags to charity, 1 bag books to school. Master bed changed & laundered. 3 other x wm done, lots of LR stuff rehomed in MB ready for baby visit.

pigpen

10 dollops chucked on ebeast... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREEDD now.. 25 things on so far... may have to stagger the rest so it doesn't all finish at once!

I'll do you a list for tomorrow and I may have to find some food and go to my nest
