Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd April 2013

LameWolf

Jessie's settled in as if this were her second home - she fair leapt out of the car and ran up to the front door, no problem!:D

I'm deferring the weekend Dys0n Tango til Monday afternoon, it's a waste of time doing it while Jessie's here, particularly as she doesn't like vacuum cleaners.;)

Not a happy bunny today - my left foot is purple.:( I have a bar chair in the kitchen that I use to perch on to do my tasks, and Mr LW knocked it over and it landed straight on my foot with the hard aluminium tubing striking me really painfully. Footwear of any sort is very uncomfortable at the best of times - I can't get any on other than Mr LW's wellies now.:( I don't think anything's broken though - I wouldn't be able to walk a single step at all if it was, right?:o

We gave the bath lift a really good clean earlier, as it only got a cursory one last week, and also turned the mattress on the bed (that was fun.... NOT) so we're getting through our weekend tasks, gradually.

Sending pain-free vibes for Dog; if the morphine is making her more comfortable, go with it, I reckon, HB.:o

Hope the swelling goes down soon LW and the pain goes quickly and thank you for your kind words regarding DS1s Driving test xxx

Very little done today I need to catch up and have no time to do so....off out at 7pm to see DS1 perform in his first live gig...going to see what I can do in the next 15 mins...I need to find my kitchen...OH has bought loads of random food back from his latest tour...hotel closing after the ski season and loads of food being thrown away...8 blocks of french butter in freezer,tons of oranges and lemons...(need to bake tomorrow)...t-bags,french sausage,veg and soup mix xx

Managed to get most of my 3 loads of washing dried so very happy. A few bits airing inside and some to iron.

I have been teaching DS1 how to do tax returns - I am now drinking Morette - he says he can see why people would pay somebody to do it. I sadly like doing that sort of thing, DS2 is always saying Mum people would pay you to do all that banking stuff :rotfl:

Going to make a start on DS2's return now. DS1's needs a bit more info to finish which we don't have. Tomorrow I have the joy of supervising him getting everything together for his US visa interview :cool:

Dustykitten

LW hope your foot feels better soon - can you do ice?

Mummy5 - nice food stash

LW... Go get it checked while Mr LW can come with you and before A&E fills up with drunkards later on... my nanna walked into hospital with a broken femur so yes you could easily still walk on it if it was broken there are so many little bonios in there!

Hugs for bumps and trips ladies, do be careful.

I may have fair yelled at DD earlier when I was trying to change DS bed. I asked them to not get under my feet whilst I was reaching, and she just kept ramming his truck into my foot, despite me asking her not to. I almost screamed at her DS just sat quietly under his bed I really shouldn't have done that.

After I'd finished the bed I climbed under and said sorry though, and we all had a cuddle and DD said sorry and rubbed my foot better. She has been really unpleasant today

Anyway, 3 clean beds, they've had a bit of time out in garden when the hail stopped and we had a nice hour sat in conservatory playing with playdoh. It was the nicest she's been all day. DS enjoyed too as I gave him cookie cutters with letters so he spelled out his name etc.

But, we have had a toy tidy, upstairs and down so we are not too messy. We are leaving at 9.30 tomorrow for swimming (calyps0 c0ve at Barnsley Metr0dome!) and staying out for lunch. Hopefully that will keep her temper under control... And I of course have boundless patience with that kind of nonsense, when in polite company

She did say "I'm being nice now" after her coming-in-from-the-garden strop, and actually has been, and even brushed teeth without trauma.

I am so not feeling like making more Spider-Man bed curtains tonight.

Bossy ditto what Dusty says. I speak from experience of over doing it, for me it's so I don't have time to think too much about the issue I'm trying to avoid. Although it always catches up with me . Be kind to yourself xx
