I've decluttered a tooth so that's the sum total of my flying for today!

Hope that is the end of all the trouble it has caused you.

Meeep :eek::eek:

Quietly re-joined the fly ladies yesterday, kitchen all done scrubbed out cupboards cleaned, microwave moved, all looks really good in there :T

Started the front room today....................one and a half hours later; ONE cupboard was tidied, three hours after this; under sofa is clear, pouffe cleaned out, there are three black bags in the bin and stuff sorted out for charity, and lots on the stairs still to be sorted, not even ready to hoover up yet, so will be continued tomorrow, how on earth did it get so bad

Needless to say I am behind on the list already. Hey ho onwards and upwards it will look better soon :rotfl:

Vast gin decluttered as I have realised two new lodgers that booked in September are not going to turn up. That's three weeks rent on two rooms down the pan - seriously p**d off. Am plotting revenge on them - which is comforting.

I have been given strict flying orders from physio today......nothing heavier than Holly to hold, no bending for DW, oven WM, td, no shopping trolleys, no hoovers, no pushchairs, no lifting saucepans of water and veg! And no dragging out rubbish.

God knows where they get this from.. honestly, talk about unrealistic!! 4 days after Squeak arrived I was doing the tesco shop, bf walking round tesco lol, and noone is allowed to touch MY laundry , as a mum, if you don't do this stuff it doesn't get done and you simply cannot leave it.. it is crazy there is no help from anywhere esp when you are on your own.

I cooked dinner the day I came home, less than 24 hours after she arrived or noone would get fed.

We just tucked the canulated hand inside the sleepsuit like it was in a sling kinda thing I guess it helped mine was a minibeast and the sleepsuits were too big. I've had a few in SCBU so we know a fair few tricks.

I had a lovely day today (or yesterday as it is) so thank you ladies:) I ate my whole frog:D and did loads on the list. Just did the "changeover" with DD, from the cot to the sleeper couch-so I can take my meds now and read for a bit to help me doze off.The house is making some strange noises tonight. I want to get the bedroom and landing done early tomorrow as Ive had a few thoughts on some sewing projects Id like to try...for a start, something to carry my playbook in.DH nicked it for a while,but bought himself a nexus a few days ago. He gave me back the playbook, but has nicked my cover!

I echo this! Luckily for me the physio stuck her head round the door before I left hospital after my 2nd c section (16 months after my first) and said ' I told you to rest and NOT lift after your first section - this time i've come in to teach you to lift SAFELY - because you'll have to!'

Ironing marathon almost complete - I will finish the backlog today! DD1 is at the ortodontist - so it's something soft for tea today!

Morning all

Bity day today but I'll fit some flying in here and there including some bed changing.

Take care out there. Just waiting to listen to DC speech whilst sewing the hook back on DS3's trousers.
