Mummyroysof3 Ouchy!:( First priority - make sure your poor nose is OK.

CY OMG your poor DD2; that's ages now, it seems; deffo needs looking into, she shouldn't be still poorly after all this time, surely.

I've done round the spare room (my Friday room) as best I can, with all Dylan's kit in there; tbh, there's not a lot to do in there, just keep the dust and cobwebs at bay and make sure the storage crates stay tidy.:o

Opticians this afternoon:( Mr LW's on early shift and wfh, so he'll be taking me; also have to collect some meds - 3 lots for me, and one for him.;)

i spoke to both my sister (nurse for 25 years) and the practise nurse at the GP's this morning. Both think it is a virus she is struggling to throw off. Both have said we are doing the right things (clear fluids/plain food).

Sis did ask the jojo question which I have just relayed to DD2 - the answer was an emphatic NO! ( She doesn't go out, hasn't got a boyfriend and is either with her mates or her sister.)

And all 3 episodes of sickness have been accompanied by the other stuff too - not a typical sign of pregnancy I don't think...

Nurse at the docs did offer to do a stool sample test - we agreed if it's still going next week we will try and do this. Otherwise it's try and get a vitamin and mineral tonic into her.. and fingers crossed!

CY totally off the wall here but years ago when DS2 was only 6mths old all my kis picked up salmonella i know exactly where from it was an amial park on holiday there was peacock poo all over the picnic tables DD1 got some on her hands which were washed throughly by me but it was everywhere we complained and ended up eating standing up. anyway we came home all 5 seemed to go down with a bug but recovered within a week ds2 kept getting gippy tum and had upset tum and sickness buots on and off for ages. was back a forth to drs in end saw a different dr who did a stool sample samonella was confirmed other children were carrying it but not showing symptoms - no treatment was given apart for dirolyte and advice on hygene (got fed up of saying it had come from bird poo not my kitchen) you havent been anywhere that anything like that could have been picked up have you? it could even be something like a taekaway meal or something like that
mummyroysof3 poor you i hope your nose is feeling better today and that the accident wasnt too serious.
hope you get on ok at the optitions LW

I can now hardly get to my laptop as it's surrounded by debris. I'm going to attempt to get the hoover round to my side of the bed now so I can hoover underneath it and put stuff back in the boxes and put it away.

Welcome to the weekly Flylady thread. If you need help organising your week or getting motivated when it comes to housework then come and join us.

There are 3 levels per day with Level 1 being very basic, level 2 in the middle, up to 3 which is more advanced and time consuming. Feel free to mix and match to suit your own personal circumstances.

Every room comes back around next week so please don’t stress about catching up

These lists are only suggestions and not a must do list; you are more than welcome to post and follow your own lists.

Also adding a declutter mission each day will help to gradually clear the clutter and make flying easier.

A few of the basics before we start the week

Hotspots are areas where if one thing gets put there, loads of other things follow!

Daily routines are anything you need to do on a daily basis like washing, swish and swipe kitchen and bathroom, ironing, making beds, vacuuming high traffic areas, making meals etc.

Night-time routines are all things which make getting ready in the morning easier, preparing clothes for the next day, making lunches, swish & swipes of the kitchen and tidying the living room before you go to bed plus personals like shower/brush teeth etc.

Fling Boogie - stick on some loud music, grab a bin bag and whiz around the house finding items that can go out with the rubbish, recycling, for charity shop, basically anything that will stop it cluttering your home.

Swish and swipe/S&S means have a quick wipe over an area such as a sink or toilet to prevent the build up of dirt. This is usually done on a daily basis

HHE/HHC/HHI Half Hour exercise/challenge/ironing ... run around for 30 minutes to the Benny Hill music frantically cleaning exercising or ironing.. other music may be used if you prefer!
