Weekly Flylady Thread 21st May 2007

Hello everyone,

Sorry, i havnt read the thread for the last couple of days, so hope everyone is ok.

House is clean and tidy, although ive only been keeping on top of the normal jobs (due to new LO, he needs attention, and hes more important than the housework!!!) but as hes not here tody, im hoping to catch up a bit. Ive wiped down the kitchen, but do need to go through the fridge - and im halfway around the living room. Trouble is, i keep getting waylaid by the LOs - but hay, would rather that than the housework!!!
Managed to get one thing listed on ebay, and have loads of other things so maybe i will get that done soon, along with the pile of paperwork, that i managed to do a bit of the other day, but the majority is still there!!! (did get the bills paid, so thats the main bit)
Well, being on MSE isnt helping - so better get on.
Have a lovely day everyone xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I've just spent the last 10 minutes changing the watchstrap on my watch (my leather one thats usually on it snapped!) Looks good though, a "silver" Cosmopolitan watch part with a "silver" expanding bracelet. Looks much more expensive than it did with the leather strap :rotfl: Told you I was in a procrasting mood. :rotfl:

well my grumpy baby will not sleep for love nor money, and if he doesn't soon, then he won't be at all!! I really need to get anything done,and he won't let me leave his side again. It's probably more teeth, but what the hell!

I managed to get the compost out and put the main bin out for tomorrows collection, and that is it. Oh, and eat lunch while he yelled at me, and drink a cold cup of tea cos i was sorting him out.

I bought him some fisher price sight and sound balls in the hope that would keep him entertained, and it worked for a bit, but he is too tired and grumpy now.

I am getting far too hot and bothered to keep messing around.


I also like to add things to my list, but i usually do it by writing 'extras' at the bottom. When you think of all the little things that you do achieve in a day it gives me a real boost.

Will check in again later but only if i manage to achieve something.

pigpen - my sis says she got the stickers from a place called aladins cave on Scot Lane in Doncaster. Don't know how helpful that is to you, but if you really wanted some, perhaps you could phone them up, buy them over the phone, and get them to post them to you?? I had a bit of a luck in one of the card shops at Meadowhall today and didn't see anything similar.

Just cut the grass and then got all the washing in and folded it and put it away.

It's a funny day, not sunny but a real glare and feels humid even though the local weatherman said at lunchtime that humidity is low today.

He should come and cut my grass and then tell me it's not humid:D

Thanks honey!

the boys have been horrific ALL evening.. I knew it was going to be a bad day the minute I set eyes on them this morning.. they have been cheeky and rude ran out in the road hurt each other and the others.. Ds3 even lashed out at me!!! Little git!!

ds3 is on his last warning and in his PJ's already.. one more incident and he is in bed for the night!!! dd4 is as well... I told her off and she did the 'yak-yak' motion with her hand behind my back.. except I caught her at it so she is on her last warning as well.

dd5 has whinged and wailed all day long and it is WAAAY too hot to put up with this I just want to cry. I'd hit the vodka by 4pm!

If noone else is coming to pub with me tonight I am going on my own!!! And drinking the place dry!! ok.. I would.. if I wasn't so skint!! BUT it's the thought that counts yeah?

right.. feed them, bung them in bed, and forget they exist until tomorrow!!

Oh.. and now one of them has pee'd all over the toilet floor... remind me why I am here!!!!!!!!!!!

i should have been going to visit my friend in Inverness tomorrow... *CRYCRYCRYCRY*

pigpen, why do we do it?
My DS3 came in shouted and swore at me and had me crying within 5 mins of getting in from school. He is stressed, he says as an excuse!

He is now sitting at kitchen table, no TV and revising for tomorrows exam. And where is DH when you need them. I only have four ,and sometimes five, not so little darlings so how you manage to keep any hair on your head, I dont know! I'll be bald with all this stress soon!!

Here is a hug from one who understands

Hello ladies just been catching up. Not done any flying today - morning on the allotment busily planting out before we go away.
Afternoon soritng out PTA stuff before we go.
So now the packing still to do - I hate packing - I am rubbish at it, I even tried the tips on the flylady site last time we sent away.

Sound like national bad day for kids day!! I put it down to 2 things - exhaustion due to it being end of half term and the humid weather, 2 of mine have heat rashes and are all itchy - that helps their mood - not!

Well going to get littlest into bed - got his clothes out of the room already, then get DS2 to pack his stuff and count my pot of PTA coins for banking (he is treasurer on the school council - just because I am - but never gets to count cash)

Then forms for DS1 which have to be back at school tomorrow.

Might pop in later x
