Hypno's kick up the backside debt diary....

*zippy*

Hypno sorry to hear about the neck brace :grouphug:

If you manage to train your two, could you come do mine too please

I'm battling with the house too, I think its hard if you are working, its not like pre kids where you could do it once a week and just tidy as you go along.

Can i just say, that picture was taken in the last few days of my pregnancy, when I was nesting for England......if I took the same photo now, you would laugh your heads off!

Hypno - I think I'm going mad as when you first said Neck Brace I was imagining some hideous metal number before realising you meant one of those white things!! lol!

I think house fairy is aimed at 4-10/11 yr olds but you could incorporate a few things? Perhaps vouchers (for cheap things but things they enjoy?)appearing if they achieve all they set out to do? Or tokens towards something?

I am quite surprised at how easy it is to actually carry on with flylady - it's taken me a year since buying the book and getting the emails etc. but now I've decluttered a lot, it looks so nice in my kitchen and dining room, I want to keep it like that! OH has been influenced too - he did the breakfast dishes before going to work - amazing! He also reorganised and cleaned out his shed this weekend which I think was a result of seeing what I (queen of clutter and mess) could do

KC, why are you so ouch ouch today - I have missed something. Hope you are ok!

I didn't sleep with the neck brace on - I think I would have killed someone if I had to do that!! It is too early to really say if it is working, but as my head feels as though it is too heavy for my neck, it will help to support it and hopefully allow the healing to work quicker.

I think that a quiet day will be most welcome. I am aiming to get the children doing the flylady stuff - the physio even spoke to them yesterday about having to help out so hopefully they will take it seriously!! Then I think we can be rewarded with some of the ice cream that mysteriously found its way into my freezer when I did the "basics" shop yesterday

Have just looked back over Snaggles' post yesterday - how does anyone get a room THAT tidy, with little children in existance Is the house fairy too much for a 13 year old do you think??

Sorry to worry you! That time of the month at that time of life, thats all..... and I have arthritis in my left shoulder and can't sleep on my left side any more.... though at least I'm not a danger to life and limb like a neck brace apparently is!:eek:

Ice cream :T tidy room :T quiet day :T coffee on the patio :T oh wait, thats me....:rotfl:

Well, KC, we have done: tidy, ice-cream, coffee, quiet day so far, so I think we are on the same plane!!

The children did really well for me this morning - set the timer for an hour and they worked through the flylady list for today. As a reward they got ice-cream (just had to join them in this, part of the doing things as a family bit!!) so all good!

LOL at the thought of a big metal neck brace - did it have screws going into my head too?? The one I have is small and sweaty - nice!! It does give me restrictions, but I think that is the whole point, as I am not very good at sitting and resting, and the physio wants me to do just that from time to time!!

Okay, resting now! I have to, actually, I've realised I won't be able to work tonight if I don't.... and enough with the Frankensteinian images, lol! No screws in the head, hear me? Have a good afternoon!

hypno06

And you have a good afternoon too - the children are making themselves a picnic to take on a bike ride, so I can have a couple of hours peace. I have paperwork that I MUST do this afternoon, so I will take my laptop into my cabin and get on with that.

After another cup of coffee...................:o

hypno06

All necessary and urgent paperwork done, flylady for the day satisfactorily completed, children happy (always an achievement in itself).

They have asked to go swimming this afternoon. I can tie it in with seeing a client, then I can just go and wait for them at the pool, armed with a book and a flask of coffee, so that I don't have to pay for overpriced crap out of the vending machine there.

Then home for "bung it all in pasta thing" with whatever we find in the fridge, and perhaps a lemon meringue pie - found a packet mix best before April 2005, but I have never let sell by dates put me off before - especially where puddings are concerned, so will consider it a risk worth taking!!!

Sold something on ebay today, so requested £50 from paypal into the bank!! Need to get something else listed promptly, otherwise we will not have enough to pay for ski camp!

See you all later!!!

Not been here that long as a Regular Poster, but Hypno's one of my favourites so I'm sorry to hear about the neck brace. I hope it won't be too long before you're back to normal!
