Weekly Flylady Thread 1st July 2013

Kids in bed but its still noisy up there. DS helped us with toys :A bless him, he parked bikes, filled prams with dollies and collected the happyland people. DD helped too, without moaning, and picked up all the pieces out of the caterpillar game that she'd littered the floor with. What is going on???

I've a bit of washing to sort and will fill WM ready for morning. DD can go back to nursery, she is loads better, although she didn't want any tea. I bet she's starving tomorrow...

I'll just finish my cuppa then might do a HH wii fit.

It's 4 weeks away but I go on holiday this month I really need to think about what needs doing first. DD and I have plenty of clothes, but DS is growing and may need more shorts and a couple of smarter tops. I sure hope his uv swim tees still fit better check. Miss Moo's pushchair was squawking at the wheel this afternoon, so I need to look at that to make sure it doesn't collapse on us. Inlaws are lending us a small suitcase - I have a medium and small, but think DD can have her own this time.

Parking is booked, seats are booked, mum has got some euros but I think we may need more.

Miss moo is shouting again, I'm going to tell her off

Well, somethings have been crossed off, but had a really difficult day doing froggy things

Took DS to nursery where the Ofsted Inspector had just turned up and wanted to talk to all the parents....I turned into a gibbering idiot after about 30 seconds :mad: so cross with myself....I just hope the inspection goes well

Spoke to Dr's surgery about DD2's big C referral, and explaining to THEM the process about the faxing a Proforma rather than a dictated letter which then goes into correspondence file.

Within 2 hrs DD2 gets a call out and about on her mobile offering her a "cancellation" appointment for Thursday, she is now shotting herself to quote 'Allo 'Allo as she is grown up and seen enough of the big C in the last 2 years to understand what being offered a "cancellation" means.

Took DD4 to Tums and Tinies baby group to reschedule with HV re the mess up the other week.....Thankfully no other mothers there, and HV now coming to see me on Wednesday

Psyched myself up to ring a builder to do a quote for insurance, no reply so had to leave a voicemail.

Retrieved DS from nursery. DD3 got herself in a bit of a state and wanted me to bring her comfort food out to her and have a hug before re-joining her mates.

DS wanted to go to Library packed up all Library books, loaded 6 green garden sacks into car for dump, plus DD3 goodies.

DS fell asleep while at the dump, saw DD2 who was very teary and morbid wanting me to look in her mouth, it looks much more like the google pictures now than it did 2 weeks ago when Dentist first put us onto it

DS was still asleep, pulled an abort on Library so rang them to renew instead to buy myself some more time.

Body was hurting with adrenaline so bagged up another 6 green bags of weeds that had been drying overnight and got back down the dump just before it closed.

DS was still asleep when I got back, so bagged up another 2 bags ready to take to a different dump tomorrow.

Passport Office called, they are now processing passports but the card I quoted expired yesterday, now all sorted ...should arrive just in time for when DD1 goes to Ireland, just in case I have to go rescue her

Came in and scoffed obscene amounts but just trying to limit it to liquid now.

Will try and cross something off later once I can get the littlest Skints settled

If it looks like I am MIA, I might just be lurking, but will definitely be reporting back in later in the week

Rant alert

Following DS's comments about her weight, DD is all but refusing to eat :mad::mad: Today she had a banana late morning, had no lunch and won't eat dinner; she claims she is not hungry. I can't even tempt her with chicken salad which she loves. I'm so angry with him. Especially as we have been on a healthy eating plan for the last 3 weeks (when he wasn't here) at it is going really well. She has some weight to lose, as do I, but nothing major.


And don't get me started about what he's said/done about the rent he is supposed to pay - this month's mortgage payment is looking :eek:

So I would like to come live with Vanilla in the pig house please

Oh my, fingers crossed it really is a cancellation, and nothing untoward. The next few days will surely drag for her


I have filled in all the school / after school club forms (except what days, as we don't know what night swimming will be - hopefully Mondays...). Am going to get (another) ID and password to pay for school dinners online. How very high-tech! I still need to find a home for all the school paperwork...

Manic Monday isn't the word.

2 x dog walks
WM x 1
Finally found somewhere to get a bus pass in person. Why do they want everything done on-line these days?
Lasagne cooked
Prescription filled.
Birmingham map located for permanent residence in handbag. Now completely reliant on buses as I lost my license (a story for a later date)
Trip to organise therapy. I get to spend the next 28 days in full term psychiatric/theraputic care. At least this time I can do it as a day patient and not be incarcerated.:T

Feeling more positive than I have for a long while. Particularly last Sunday when I spent 2 nights at HM pleasure. Not a pleasant experience.

Hugs and spoons to all in need.

Support for you Cat Smith - sounds like a tough time

Skinty positive vibes for your DD she must be worried senseless. I hope the smoking is still decreasing

Off to bed now, another packed day tomorrow.
