Weekly Flylady Thread 19th December 2011

cally_c

Just wanted to say to LW your DH will probably appreciate you having remembered the date.

My Nan died on Christmas day & on the following Christmas I was feeling pretty low, but didn't want a fuss as our kids were still young, but on the other hand I didn't want it to be forgotten. My DH didn't mention it, but when my MIL came round, she said, very quietly & just to me, that she hadn't forgotten what happened the year before. It was just the right thing to say.

DS2 and I spent a very enjoyable two hours this morning meeting Father Christmas, walking around the gardens completing a quiz and watching the reindeer feeding. If anyone is in South Yorkshire and would like to know where we went, please pm me. I can recommend it!

Before we went I managed to:
be out by [STRIKE]10.30 [/STRIKE] 10.35
[STRIKE]check e-mails to find booking number for this morning[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]update budget after shopping spree yesterday[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]get dressed [/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]DS2's breakfast[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]get DS2 ready[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]go into our little towncentre for bread and some cash for niece's present[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]get niece's card and present ready for DS1 to deliver[/STRIKE]

I just spread chocolate on the florentines I made last night and made a cuppa. Going to catch up with fred before attacking this afternoons list (otherwise I'll drop to sleep!):
HHC in DS2's room helping him sort and tidy
plan tea
several HHCs in front room - I WILL get it done today

Catch-up with fred complete, now for another cuppa to take upstairs to DS2's RoD. DS1 has gone into town to 'follow a lead' for a job (no idea what, but I hope he'll get something) and drop cards/present off at BIL's.

Anyone for a HHC, 3-3.30?

HHC and a bit done - more flinging! :j DS2 is really good at not clinging to stuff. :T A short break before sorting stuff in the LR before OH comes home and wants the sofa/TV.

Good afternoon

I am working today. 3 out of 4 children have gone home, and the other one is lying on the sofa chilling with a bottle of milk DD2 & DS help me keep them occupied :T

I have walked the dog before I started work I am glad I did as it is raining now. I have put on the DW, done some washing up & cleaned up the large puddle of wee that one of the boys left next to the toilet :mad: Accidents happen, but I wish they would tell me instead of letting me find it after they have gone!! I had to pick up all the toys and vac downstairs after they left as there was about an inch think layer of crumbs!! I only hoovered last night :eek:

I may go and make myself another cuppa, and give the kitchen a wipe in a mo. What i would really like to do, is have a little snooze

Put me down for the challenges, please! I am working up til 5.30 on Friday, and then I want to put a lot of toys away in the summerhouse as I am not working then until after the New Year! :j:j
