Weekly Flylady Thread Week 23 April 2007

tracyg

Morning folks! Well we had a really bad night with baby, don't know if its his teeth or something else but we were going in to him every hour at least. DH is great and we share getting up. He just keeps waking up crying but soon settles back down when we go in, Friday night he woke and you could tell by his cry it was his teeth but after a hug and calpol he settled but last night I don't know what was happening. He used to sleep really well but this last month its been a nightmare. Have done some research on internet and think we might try the controlled crying thing as he is able to settle himself to sleep in the day and when we put him down at night, think will ring the Health Visitor and get some advice. If anyone else has any advice it'd be greatly recieved!

Shirley - so sorry about your pet, its such a terrible thing to happen and so sad regardless of what kind of animal your pet is they become your babies, sending you lots of hugs
Lil_me - please try not to get too stressed about FF, good luck
Tinselfairy - feel better soon
Hugs to everyone else!

DH and baby are both in bed now so am trying to be quiet, I've already had a lie in and got a couple of hours sleep. We were a wedding for the yesterday morning and bit of the afternoon yesterday, took dogs for a long walk and DH and I had 'date night' last night so didn't get much done but had a really lovely day so who cares! lol! copule who've had our old sofas collected them and tidied garage a bit so thats something crossed off. Todays tasks are

Whites - WM going
Budget - just done whilst online
Pay gas and electric bill
Print MEAF letter, help DH print off slimming world stuff
Out pm for mums bday - wrap pressies

Am not going to do much today in terms of flying, DH has done a lot of the dallies when he first got up and will do rest whilst they're in bed, just want to enjoy the day with my little family - cleaning can wait. Am off for a lovely day, might pop in later, hope everyone enjoys their sundays too!

Morning all.

Good luck with FF lil_me. I worry myself about stuff like that too. If I've got nothing to worry about I make something up.....


Only one load of washing today, it's on the line. It poured with rain for about 5 minutes at 5.45 am (woke me up) but it's sunny now.

Everything prepared to cook roast later.

Nobody else in, just me and the pets. Feel like I should be doing something productive.........Nah! can't be bothered.

lil_me

Thanks for all the good lucks, hopefully I won't need it. Maralum I made the last ones a cuppa and they naffed off, this one isn't getting one until it's in! Delivery time is between 1.15 and 5.15pm so hopefully! I have a lot to move around, again, need to put the fridge in the living room, move other stuff, have made a start but more to do. Going to scrub the floor well where it's going as given the weight of them I won't be moving it very often.

tracyg hope you get the unsettled waking sorted, controlled crying can work but it's hard, good luck.

I best get cracking, I've done a silly thing and dumped loads of stuff on the sofa which I now need to clear, rest of stuff to move in kitchen etc. Plus the rest of my list at some point. DP said he'd take the door off when he got in from work, well that is still on so need to get that done too.

Pollybear

I feel tired just reading about that lil_me!

I have been out and swept up in the back garden. Next door's cherry tree is dropping all its blossom all over my path. Still got to clean cat snot off the windows! I keep forgettting until I look out the window. One of mine sits on the window sills and sneezes. Dear little soul.....

lil_me

:rotfl: Same here hence I haven't moved yet, maybe a coffee first to get me going

We don't have cat snot but do have dog snot on living room window where puppy has her face right against it when she barks at every person that walks by.

Blossoms like leaves, more you sweep the more drops I am sure, I end up giving up :roftl:

Pollybear

Windows desnotted now - until tomorrow.

You're right about blossom and leaves, I can ignore it for so long but then I have to sweep!

lil_me

Well I made myself a deal, peg washing out, clean 1/2 kitchen floor then coffee. Have coffee now. When it's dry I can move everything across and do the other side. Kids have helped and took 5 pieces of clean laundry upstairs, well at least it's something, I did say put it in my room, the mustn't have noticed Dad was asleep still and have dumped it on top of him :rotfl:

Pollybear

He probably hasn't noticed either

lil_me

Nope still snoring his head off, wrapped the sheet around him that was on the pile which I promptly dragged back off him, don't want him getting it dirty.... He works until late but a very heavy sleeper as the kids are making a right racket and he hasn't moved.

What's winding me up the most as I do the kitchen is I have already done all this once last week, then had to put it all back, I know I got it all done faster then but motivation I think I left in bed this morning.

Suppose I should tidy the dining table while I am sat here, he dumps all his stuff when he comes in and seeing as he's not at work until Thursday probbaly now it'll stay there until then if I don't.

Afternoon all :hello:

I spent the whole of yesterday in the garden planting the end of my seeds. I still have Lupins, Sunflower & pumpkin seeds to sow, but the sunflower & pumpkin seeds are for next year. The lupins will have to wait until I have more plant pots as I have none left. Oh I've also go violas to sow but I want to leave them until I have a free seedtray. I also managed to do 2 loads of washing, including the masterbedding.

OH has been busy listing things on ebay, and is currently listing more things :rotfl: He's caught the declutter bug at last! It only gets him maybe once at year, but it's got him and I'm happy as we need the money! :rotfl: DD is busy colouring in and I'm about to go and do some baking :drool: I've put one load of washing in the machine and I'll start the baking once I've put that out on the washing line.

Right, OH is asking me to find something for him on ebay so I better get on with it :wave:
