Weekly Flylady Thread 10th June 2013

Valli

I have cleaned kitchen
dug last section of vegetable plot over and optimistically stuck in the last of my chitted spuds (well it was that or chuck 'em).

Found a HUGE spider on the shed but it evaded capture (was hoping to identify it lol)

DD despatched to work

Have flung a small xmas tree that I had stuck in the towel cupboard (why?) because I am sick of it falling out every time I open the door (it has evaded trips into the loft with the rest of the xmas stuff) and got a cardboard box out of the shed and put it by the recycling bin so I remember to put it out for recycling.

Kids had meatballs and spaghetti but it was to early for me.

Aww piggers, bless her little chin

Mine are both in bed. All was well, watching the DVD, having supper, and as soon as I said "let's do teeth in case you fall asleep" DS started moaning. So did DDs and called him to the bathroom, he was stalling. I said "you will do this, and now, because tonight you are being nice" as he'd already been sent to his room, then promised to be. He gave me some backchat, so has had his teeth scrubbed and been sent straight to bed with a no treat day tomorrow. So he has cried (and tried the "but i miss daddy" routine), I've been in to cuddle him, and reassure him, but explained he can't be rude to me, and that's why he's in bed early and not having a treat tomorrow. So we had a hug, and when I came out DD was asleep on my bed - bless her.

I just think we all need a good kip!

And now I have a cuppa and refuse to do anything else today!

Natty68

Evening all. Have been laying on the sofa all afternoon, I managed to get myself from the bed into a bath then dressed, then ended up on the sofa..lol. Spent nearly all day asleep either in bed or on the sofa..and when I have been awake I am still feeling so nauseas it's horrible.

Last night I was scared as I was sick but I didn't want Dh to take me to the hospital, I knew he would not be happy at being woken up in the middle of the night and driving to the hospital. I think if it happens again tonight we will have to make that journey as per the info sheet the nurse gave me yesterday. I'm holding off mainly because our A&E hospital has the most horrendous reputation and has been in the news lately re failing to diagnose things etc.. Also the death rate there is atrocious..can you tell I don't want to go there.

Still feeling dizzy, and now all the aches are coming out, even moving my arms up and down is a killer. I have a lovely bruise on my knee I'm quite proud of it..lol The lump on my head seems to have calmed down but the headache is still there and it's a doozy and I can't move my head too much or blow my nose as it is still too painful.

I really think I came down with a thud on the pavement, so weird as I don't remember that much about it. My friend, who was with me, said that one minute I was standing up talking to her and the next I had thudded onto the pavement. Somehow I don't think this will be an instant recovery..lol

But I did give the sink and window sill in the bathroom a good clean while I was waiting for my bath to run this afternoon.. So that is now sparkling..

Piggers Dot looks a really sweetie, and she has the most gorgeous eyes. Poor little poppet in falling over and grazing her face..hope she isn't too bad.
Iona hope the move went without too many problems and you are settling into your house on your first night there.

Welcome to all newbies..you'll love it here. Everyone is a lovely bunch and like family to each other

Oh well off to take some more painkillers to tide me over till bedtime..oh and put the chips in for dinner. We are having chicken curry and chips - weird I know but I can't stand and sort out vegetables etc..

Good evening all xx

CY, how did the OFSTED visit go?? I expect they did notice the mistakes, they have eyes like hawks!!!

Nicki. how old is DD? Mine is a nightmare in the morning, I ask her at 8:15 if she's ready and she says yes, then at 8:35 I'm calling her to come down and she complains that she hasn't done her hair or got her socks on!!! Think I'll have redo a timetable she had when she was younger!!!

Will find a list now, not that I've done any more of it yet.....worked all day in school today and done after school club, came home threw some spuds in the oven and got DD's case ready for the weekend....we only need to get roll on deodorant and wet wipes and we are done!!! Ialso put the new duvet cover on the new duvet (DSD used ours on the weekend at the caravan and we left it there!!!) and put 2 piles of clothes away

Evening all

Busy day which did not involve much flying.

DS3 won the inter schools district high jump comp so was very happy and we were very proud.

Jammed the lid on the magimix so no cake baked; an hour's patience has paid off as I have managed to free it this evening so cake now baking.

Paid stuff in the morning then I need to transport kids to school cricket and then DS3 has team cricket in the evening. That will be a day of little flying and lots of cricket watching.

CY hope inspection is not too stressful
