The Flylady thread for 29th January 2007

Hi Michelle - tip re the teething, I found anbesol liquid fab with the girls, as it soaks into the gums rather than squidging all round their mouth like bongela. Also ashton and parsons baby powders are a herbal remedy that seem to settle their tummies (think mothercare stock it), my girls always had runny bums when teething - oh memories, ahhhhh. Must get undercontrol got sudden urge to breastfeed a baby then (I do miss that).

Just got DD's to work chopping veggies for my soup for lunches, although trying to cut sweet potato with a toddler knife takes some doing.

Freecycle item collected, and got friend sign up to who is having her stuff collected at weekend so she is impressed.

Washing unpegged and on airer to take chill/dampness of it so that will be ready for ironing tonight.

Not best days flying in the world but house is tidy and clean and spent some time with my girls so its all good!

You know that half a room I've tidied today off and on.. well.. My daughters are mucking out the rabbits and ahve just trashed it.. and they can flipping well vacuum it again there is hay and sawdust everywhere!!!

I've nagged DH to come home, informed him he is putting the children to bed on his own as I am going to sleep for half an hour before I die!!!

I've just decided I don't care if DH is home or not.. I must sleep so will put dinner out for the children and the older 2 can watch the younger ones for half an hour, it won't kill them! I'm starting to think there is something wrong with me, I am NEVER tired like this!!!

Have not been around much the last few days - my FLY-ing has taken a bit of a breather - combination of not being at home and having a grumpy DD (3 months) after her jabs yesterday. Will try to join in tomorrow!!

Have been doing dailies though & dealing with hot-spots - so house looks kinda ok!!

Master bedroom - change bed linen, dust, hoover, fling open those windows, clear any hotspots and clean out bedside cabinets. Clear any developing floordrobe.

Check understairs cupboard for any necessary tidying and decluttering. Computer lives under the stairs, got cleaned and tidied the other day

daillies:

hoover
swish and swipe bathroom
dishes
wm
kitchen floor
keep dining room table and coffee table clutter free

pigpen I am getting worried about you, still not very well... hope you got some rest. You are not pregnant again are you??? Being so tired and all

I wish I was pregnant!!! Cleaning comes quite naturally then.

I just don't seem to be sleeping very well at all, I'm waking up rather early and not being able to get back to sleep then I can't get out of bed when I need to. I don't feel unwell I just am utterly exhausted!

Actually now you mention it.. I am usually quite anaemic I wonder if I have had plummeting HB levels again.. I'm taking children to the quack tomorrow so I may ask about that.. even though they have STILL not got my blood results back from over 2 weeks ago!

I've bribed the chlidren into shutting up and eating their dinner with the promise of banana and custard or ice cream for afters.. Silence at the table ensues.. love it!

Back later.. after my snooze!!

Hello all!

Well polishing my wings seemed to help me today pigpen. Today I've managed to write the introduction to my English assignment (have been putting off starting this one by doing loads of research ), cleaned the kitchen, put 2 loads of washing on, emptied the TD twice, and prepared lunch for tomorrow.:j

Full day at uni tomorrow and dinner at parents tonight, so that will probably be all my flying today. Went into the hallway to empty the TD earlier and looked around in pride at how tidy it all is. I have selective blindness when it comes to our enormous study (my desk and OH's desks, and all of the tiles for when we finally do the bathroom, 2 worksurfaces from when we did the kitchen, and all sorts of junk that only my OH can get rid of). Oh well, one day I'm sure it will look better.

Well best be off. Have to put the last load of washing in TD before we head off to parents, and programme video recorder to record 5 days.

FlyMouse signing off! xx :A

Hi everyone

Wooooooooohoooooooooo I got some starlcen AND a microfibre cloth today :j not done a lot of flying but you can' have everything eh!

Not had chance to do mch was sat at parents awaiting a delivery which only came this afternoon. Then has to collect car so went to get some ebay supplies in the way round, collected kids on the way home and just had dinner.

On the plus side the parts of the houe I have managed to clear so far are still looking quite good, not to becca's standard (boy does she have one tidy house ) but we are making progress.
