Good morning fly friends.
DD at school this morning for breakfast club I'm still trying to get DS2 out its a good job his school is just round the corner really or he'd be late all the time!
DS1 phoned last night to say he'd probably be home tomorrow as he has a day off. Roughly translated this means I have piles of manky washing and I need it done for the next day
Off to find a list and shout at DS2 again!

Pigpen What can we Flyladies do that would make cereal city better?

I banished it all to one shelf of one cupboard and all opened boxes are decanted into lock and lock boxes.. it has helped to an extent, I no longer have closed boxes stacked in 3 different places in the kitchen and the open ones in the cupboard.. I am considering removing the door handles so the naughties can't get in!

Rained overnight and the sky is all washed clean this morning.

OH got a good kicking before we got up this morning.. I rolled over to hug him and the inhabitant objected so was trying to kick him away.. I think that is a mutual reaction

Tiddles stood over and yelled at to get ready for school this morning.. I really don't have the time or patience in a morning when I have 2 toddlers to denappy and feed and she is 6 years older! .. No excuse for being half dressed or not eaten... she usually has a ham sandwich so is quite capable of getting that at nearly 9!

Smalls on breakfast number 2.. I'll go make a cuppa while they are occupied and clear the remaining gubbins off the worksurface.. I'm sure I have a stacking box somewhere which I can utilise!

All the baby stuff ordered.. shall be here tomorrow :eek: (24 weeks tomorrow!).. I got pj's and undies for Squeak too. I need to get DD3 the next size undies next.. hers are skin tight.. I'll just get her ladies ones I think.. size 8-10 should fit.

Oh.. I need to sort reclaiming the carpet washer from DD1 too.. the hallway carpet is disgusting.

Morning all, i'm jumping back in this week after a couple of failed weeks. Thanks Dusty and Natty for the lists.

All older kids at school and DS3 sleeping on the sofa, I think he's coming down with something. Not like him to be sleeping at this time.

Gonna be a busy enough week here, big appointment tomorrow for DD at the hospital (they decide if she needs surgery) I feel ill even thinking about it and it's really playing on DD's mind. Then Wednesday she goes to lift her prize at the city hall which will be lovely. Friday she's at a wedding doing her signing to the songs and then i'm dragging all kids to a signing class that evening.

So I plan to get as much done as possible this week and then next week PIL are away on holiday so cattle to look after.

Natty i'm pleased it's worked the right way and you can relax now.
Honey Bear heard this morning about our wash out summer, so i'll be doing the same every warm day.
Valli well done to DS for passing his test.
Good luck to all taking exams.

dancemum

LR dusted
Nest of tables reclaimed from DS2
Encouraged DS2 to part with a bin bag of books and magazines
Removed all DS2's age 7-8 pants as he is nearly 11. Bought him some 9-10 one from Mr T's and they are much large than the same size at Mr S'.
Off to get ready now

Just had man knocked over with a van outside my house. I run out with blankets. The man was talking so that's a good sign but what a dent he's left in the windscreen. He's off in ambulance now and the police are dealing with the aftermath.
Must go write the date and time down I'm keeping a log of the accidents there its been terrible since the street was made two way about a year or so ago.
