Weekly Flylady Thread 4th July 2011

vanilla

I'm up and in the most foul mood. Very little sleep again last night, hubby had his earphones in and i can still hear the music plan..:mad::mad:
I should have just slept in the flipping tent.

Mr T due between 9 and 11, i think. Kitchen not so bad but i really need to get the finger out with the rest of the house, it's very depressing. I'm also suppose to be going away with my mum and sis on saturday to Ikea, it was suppose to be a day without the kids for me and a day of getting stuff for the boys room. Not sure it will happen now that hubby's not great.

I best go take my mood out on the house....

:rotfl::rotfl: Oh, I like that one Froddy! :rotfl::rotfl:

Thank you for all my Happy Birthdays!!:D:D:D

Had an early start as Miss Tag was a school for 7.45am, as she's off to the Natural History Museum today! Not back until 4.30 - 5.00pm.

I am supposed to be going out for lunch with my friend who's already texted asking where we're going. But I have no idea where to choose.:o

DD1 is treating me this afternoon. I'm having my nails done. So make the most of this post as I doubt I'll be able to do anything with my fingers when I get back, except to sit and admire how pretty they look!:D

Right, I'm going to just have a quick whizz round downstairs and then get ready to go out. So catch you all later (if I can type that is)

3 days until the wedding day and we are still no further on. Going down to visit today, I have different questions to ask the doctors and need to discuss the options with my family. We already chatted to OHs siblings last night, the Aussies were really nice telling us they don't have a problem if we need to cancel. We need to get some good answers today as if we cancel we need to do it tomorrow before everyone travels. What a rubbish time!

Flying wise apart from keeping the place tidy for estate agents and surveyors we have more important things to do.

I hope to have a happier post later.

I've just decluttered DD off to nursery and am sat with a cuppa and a biscuit (or four) and then i will get on with a HHI. That should finish my pile! YEY! Then i will either make a start on the office if DS has woken up or i will sit and go through his 12-18 month clothes bundle that we won off ebay and decide which ones i want to keep and which i will pass on.

DD was a nightmare to leave at nursery. She used to go two days a week because thats what i used to work before DS came along. Then when stopped working we did some sums and decided to keep her in one day a week. It's not cheap, but we use our family allowance money. It has helped her loads with her shyness and i can tell that she enjoys herself 90% of the time. When we pick her up i always watch her for a while before she's seen me and although she isn't usually in the thick of the fun with the other children she is usually smiling and having fun. She's a really shy girl around kids her own age, so i think it does her good to go there. We do go to see other kids, but all my friends kids are slightly younger or older. Once things have settled with me going back to work (or most likely not) we will probably move her to a local village preschool, but i will definitely miss her being at this nursery. It's a good one.

Anyhoo, today she was stood in the doorway as usual - she's always shy when she first goes in and doesn't particularly want to go. But today was awful! She hugged me and whimpered something in my ear and then started wailing when the lady came to get her to join the others. I made a quick goodbye and left, but stood outside listening and she was wailing for daddy and mummy for ages. I waited for a quiet bit and then left, but i can't help feeling horrible. I'm i being awful leaving her there when technically she doesn't need to go as i'm not working?

I will pick her up a bit earlier than normal tonight, but i am hoping when i go she will be happy as i watch her. I might even ring them in a bit and see how she settled. Mummy guilt!!!!!

Does anyone know where you can get those long candle lighters? I need one before I attempt to manually light the hob again... (ouch)

Wilkos? Also, as others have said, keep nagging to get the front door fixed. That alleyway sounds way too dodgy

AJ - (((big hugs))) I am sorry you are having so much stress when this should be such a happy time (although always stressful )

Tag - Happy Birthday!!! Have a great day :beer:

Flying - bins out (1 pick sack still here as I missed the binmen - 2 gone), food bin soaking (to be washed soon), fridge cleared of old manky stuff (why do I waste so much food ) and wiped down, bank accounts checked. Need to do a food shop (fridge looks empty now!). It is raining, & both DDs have plans so looks like it is just me & Little Miss Sunshine. Looked at doing it online, but they can't deliver 'til Friday (expensive) and we need to eat before then!

So tired! We went out last night for dinner & then regretted having the pud It laid on me all night. That'll teach me for being a pig!

catch you later peeps!

Speak to the docs, they may just let mum come for a bit a couple of hours out might do her more good than laid wallowing in a depressing hospital bed.

Waiting for decorator and window people to call me back to arrange to do quotes... I have the money for the decorator but think I may need to save a few more pennies for the windows.. I am expecting about £1800 :eek:

I still have loads to get through in the girls room and am thinking of sorting through the uniform cupboard today and ebaying what no longer fits so it can be gone while people are thinking of the new school year. Plus I need to make room for the new stuff which is coming on Monday and get the cupboard moved to the landing.. I need to do pics of DS3's outgrown stuff too and get that listed.. and I have winter coats to go on too...ARGH!!!! There is so much again!!!!

Children stayed in bed last night.. heehee.. they were up dressed and ready to go when I brought Squeak down at 8:15am

I need a list...
