Flylady Challenge - New Year, New You

lil_me

No you didn't pigpen :rotfl: hope you enjoy using them on that fluff, got get it!!!

Having an argh! moment.. decided to make some bread rolls, thought I had bread flour left to make bread for tomorrow, must have forgot to buy it, oh PLOPPY POOP! Looks like I'll have to try and use plain flour again, wasn't too bad last time actually.

Getting there with housework, everything taking little while longer with the children being off school. Done dailies now, apart from DS1s dinner which is in oven (refusing to eat yet) and mine which is just reheating (last nights lasagne was so nice I'm having the rest today ) DP fed and sent to work with sandwiches.

Well kids paperwork is sorted, no wonder the drawer was about to collapse, only takes having kids with SEN to make a mountian of paperwork, IEPs, test results. CP, EP, SALT, ASD team, OT and Dyspraxia service reports, that's before the stuff from LEA. Blooming heck. Well I've put all that stuff in one file, other things in another and will trail through and seperate them all out when I get a suitable file!

Parents been, sister arrived too with her son who wanted to stay bless him, but he was tired and crabby, so pleased she took him home He might have made a mess :rotfl: toddlers tend to do that

I use plain flour for my bread too.. second loaf of the day has JUST bleeped at me.. always turns out just the same... like bread.

My SEN two have a file each.. they are the same.. every report you could possibly think of. We've been waiting 2 years to see the OT (took 4 attempts to get them to accept the referral!!) and looking at another 2 years before DS2 is seen. DS3 has been 'discharged' from CAMHS for absolutley no reason other than stupidity so now I am hankering another referral (and a paed referral) and the report they are supposed to have been doing last April.. the ED psych reports.. we have about a dozen of those.. ESPD, IEP's monthly reports, great isn't it... the other 6 have a birth cert, a bank book and that's it! The older is being bullied again it turns out.. so I shall be stomping on little critter on Monday.. said son is currently hysterical.. again.. 3rd hissy fit in 2.5 hours.. not bad going. Youngest son is waiting to be seen by SENSS so the file on him will be growing considerably very quickly. I don't know where to go, what to do or which problem to solve first.. I cannot mentally do all at once!

Fluff being attacked right now! Dinner cooking, DW running, WM and TD's all on... and I hve my scrubby cloth, microfibre cloth and a bucket of stardrops.. *grin* I feel like a proper dogsbody now!

Hi everyone,

Doozergirl - you're doing great!:T You just need to practice selective vision, so you can only see and admire the bit that is looking really good, and just fade out the rest!;)

I've had a day where I've really felt demotivated, because I was so disappointed with how my placement went on Wednesday. I went back to talk about it, and it wasn't apparently planned to go like that. I've decided to try and find somewhere else - by Wednesday!!:eek: Actually, I've already been given a possible back up, but at place where course is, which means a long drive every day.Sorry, off topic, but feeling down stops me flying too!

I have done the dailies, and a catch up with the master bedroom. This is a case of doing 30 mins, and that's it, as it is so awful. But I'll get there this time! I have a large bag for charity shop ready for tomorrow, and another box of stuff to be delivered to someone on Sunday. Then I shall hoover/wash the bit I've cleared!

I also did the computer desk. No office/utility/conservatory here. DS has promised to go through all the software and dump the stuff we don't need.

Need a treat tomorrow, so a trip downtown, and maybe something from Boots or Smiths!:D

Hello and welcome to purplecatlover!

lil_me

I know what you mean about referrals pigpen, because Durham HA don't see children with ASD diagnosis DS1 isn't allowed to be seen, isn't in the criteria of all excuses, but as DS2 has no diagnosis yet his was accepted, did take a year of course.

Purplecatlover - welcome

Some moron has thrown takeaway cartons in my garden and puppy has shredded some of it so just had to pick it all up! Hope she didn't eat any of it.

Washing has had to go in drier, well what could go in, just not getting anything dry indoors and don't want it going smelly. I'm leaving reading OU stuff until they are in bed, I must ring my Mam and see if she could do 2 hours babysitting once a month, hasn't looked after them since they were babies but just found out there is a tutorial once a month and I have noone else to have the boys for me.

This is a short message as I can only just reach my computer. The study looks like we've taken a direct hit from a bomb. The conservatory hasn't been touched. Hubby and I are doing the study properly so it looks totally awful. Hopefully, we'll finish it tonight. I'll report in later if I can.

Today is the home office/study/computer desk, tidy, dust, delouse, what ever you need to do to make it nice and clean and tidy. Do not do what the moggins does unless you have a plastic end to your hoover nozzle (I keep getting told off by the guy in the computer shop as I hoover inside my computer)

Conservatory/Utility. Declutter and tidy.

Dailies and nightime routines and don't forget to get any uniforms in the wash.

Moggins.. my affection for grows even as I type.

1* I do not have a conservatory/utility/home office/study/ and my pc desk is reshuffled due to the recent addition of my new printer.. I have nothing to do!!!!! Sadly I do not, YET, have a laptop.. when I do, the pc and desk will belong to the mini-me's and I will not even have one of those.. coolness!!

Encouragement to clean them if you need it. Don't read if just about to eat!

yes, thank you for that!! My keyboard well and truly cleaned..

Had to take DD2 to GP's today, still has a sore back, they don't want to xray it, too much radiation. If still sore in 2 weeks they will consider a MRI scan.
Was a bit worried and down about it all but as in the past I would just sit and stare and worry, I still did my daillies and kept up the flying.:T

A whole week of flying behind me and what a difference it has made. Like Becca said: When you're house is in a horrible state someone always comes to the door that you have to let in, and you cringe..
Now the house has been presentable I haven't seen anyone all week!

My DD1 said to me: Mum, you have changed, you are so busy and everything is so tidy.. I asked her if it was a good thing or bad thing and she answered: "a good thing, but you keep asking me to put my stuff away, that is annoying..! I told her I just want to make the house a happier place for us all to live in.:j

I had bought myself a pocket filofax (on sale, massively reduced in Asda) at the New Year and discovered today it has a "to do" list in it and a little plastic wallet. Perfect for my dailly list..

daillies:

WM
hoover living room
keep kitchen tidy, sweep and mop
make next week shopping list and menu ( stayed on budget this week :T )
swish and swipe bathroom
cobweb hunt found two in kitchen today, but where is the spider??
no washing on floor
deal with mail the same day (file or throw out)
make beds
keep coffee table free of clutter hotspot
keep dining room table free of clutter hotspot
