Michelle, it always flies over when you have loads to do, I always find it the same. Just not enough hours in the day at the minute. Admittedly I have to do some catching up myself this weekend, I doubt I'll get it all done tomorrow. Part of me just needs to get a kick up the backside. I've been slacking tonight, I know the table I am sat at lneeds clearing (was built a few days ago and only been able to eat at it twice as it's become a hotspot! but I can't be ar*ed in all honesty. DPs taxi is not feeling very well so also if he has to repair that I'll be dragged out to help as a gearbox change usually needs 2 people. So I will have Saturday day time to catch up as we're out at the off road tracks on Sunday with the quads.

I have a plan anyway. DH has a suit fitting Saturday am, so he can take the baby with him. He'll probably kip in the car, and i will manage to get a lot done in a couple of hours of alone time before the in-laws arrive. As long as i stay off here.

Other than that, i'll keep doing as much as i can around the baby.

Michelle, x

Just wanted to add, we haven't done dining room for the last couple of weeks.

Sounds like a good plan Michelle. Does he fancy looking after 2 more aswell :rotfl: That's my downfall on a weekend, I also like to spend time with the boys, hard juggling it. I hope your weekend with the visitors goes well of course and isn't too stressful.

I must get my backside in gear next week as they are off school for a fortnight. Have a lot on at the school next week aswell and lots of appointments aswell as the car to do, can see next week being absolute chaos.

Damn, well spotted, I missed it off this week by accident I usually put it with the living room day . I'll add it to tomorrows As I don't have a dining room (table is in living room and breakfast bar in kitchen so I do those when in those rooms) I forget to add it sometimes.

I actually managed to get all this done tonight - scared myself at how much i could get done once i got round to doing it.

At least I have 2 rooms looking well now. Have printed off the rest of the things for this week and going to get them done over the weekend.

i learnt something new as well reading this thread did not know about turning mattress when changing beds. Why do you do this - something to do with the springs?

Righto... I'm losing the will to live today. I think I might 'forget' to set my alarm tomorrow and sleep through the whole darned thing... or is buring my head int he sand a better option?

Sorry all, I'm in a fowl mood today - BOY have the pregancy bad mood hormones kicked in

Okay I did pretty much naff all today when I got home except shopping. Hmmmm... Oh, mind you the landing and small bedroom are now sorted (except for the tools that are now neatly stacked for tomorrow's puch at getting the bathroom finished before they get put away)

Tomorrow I'm not following FlyLady on post one as I's the penultimate day before DS's Birthday. My house is still a complete dust-bowl from the tile removal/plastering/tile cutting and putting up that's been happening the last few weeks.

So aims for tomorrow when I get home from work:
- Have bathroom completely done - reliant on DH this one
- Wash floors upstairs
- Shove carp from downstairs into spare room and firmly shut the door, ideally fusing the frame to the door so I never have to go in ther and deal with the stuff
- Hoover and mop downstairs
- Start cooking DS's party food that can be cooked in advance

I think I'm being a wee bit ambitious as I don't in until 7.30pm. Oh god, I;m soooo stressed

Morning :hello:

Was up at 6.30 today ( :eek: ) I think subconciously I was worried incase the internet had gone off already and wanted to make the most of it lol, so today will be my last day with it (if they switch it off :rolleyes: ) and don't know when exactly it's going. Still not wide awake and brain certainly hasn't woken up yet and can't think of a single thing to post on my list except lilme's list

* kids rooms (only one though cause the older two do their own every week) but having said that littley makes enough mess in their during the week it's like doing 3.

oh yes,

* finish washing
* dry 3x loads already done and waiting

Will post again later if It's still on, if not then, a big Thank You to everyone in this thread, you've made me laugh, given me encouragement (aka a big kick) and motivated me beyond what's normal for me lol. Take care lovelies! hopefully I'll be back online at some point but not sure when :wave:
