Enjoying the Sunshine whilst Saving for the Rainy Day

Hello - happy new diary

Just spent a few quiet mins reading up to here now kids have gone back to school - yay - it is so quiet even though there is still one home

I made it to 5pm. Just. The heat got the better of me this afternoon and i'm zonked! I think it also got to the kids as they spent the ENTIRE afternoon arguing, fighting, screaming and generally being pains in the buttocks
They also probably went home complaining I'm horrible as I banned them all from the trampoline as they weren't listening :rotfl:

I've had a quick clean of the front room & kitchen today. Washing is up to date and so is the washing up. I intended on coming straight home after lunch with the two smaller ones but they had hatched a plan whilst they were supposed to be learning and instead they demanded to go to the zoo. I took them and it was so hot nearly all the animals they wanted to see were in hiding (penguins, monkeys....i did say let's go see the lions they are always sunbathing in this, but no they wanted to see all the ones hiding :cool:)

A nsd. Oh hang on no it wasn't I bought ice-creams as we'd drunk all our drinks half way round the zoo...£4.50 spends! I couldn't find free water anywhere to top up the water bottles :eek:?!

I've told the kids it's nearly 7pm, they are none the wiser as usually when the other kids go they come in have 30 minutes with me and go off for showers & bed so i've told them that I am feeling super nice and they can have 60 minutes watching t.v and colouring and they get to go to bed late when in actual fact it will be an hour early they are going up oh the joys of young kids that can't tell the time :rotfl: They are so tired though and they won't go to bed early if they know it's early :cool: oh i'm a bad mummy i'll admit it

No hot weather where you are Pippi? :eek: We've had a heat wave all week, I think I've had enough now and want some colder weather :rotfl:But knowing me I will complain as soon as that starts too

i agree its been too hot here although i hear tomorrow it is going to rain so heatwave may be over. I think you did well to keep going till bedtime and i am too a bad mum as have often fibbed about the real time just to get them into bed

I've just caught up on xfactor and I blubbered all the way through, what is wrong with me :rotfl: to be fair it was actually all the talented ones on it this time and no rubbish auditions (have they changed the format?) I cry at everything happy, i'm such a fool

Off to do the banking now as it was playing up earlier!

Ooh I am subscribing - only to remind you to take your Agnus of course!!!

DD has the central heating controls in her room with a digital time display so there is no fooling her although now she is older you can tell her when lights are out etc and she does it - no running up and down the stairs or hollering up the stairs!!

I'm enjoying the fly lady posts and may one day actually join in but just for now, what is

27 fling boogie?

I've told myself its later than it is and am taking advantage of OH being in work to ho to bed early. Think I may be about to come down with something as I've been cold for most of the day

Fly lady is fun if you hate housework like me :rotfl:One room a day is do-able (almost, obviously you've seen my progress I still don't manage to do all of it ) I believe the 27 fling boogie is when you put on the music and dance about and grab 27 things to 'fling' in the bin(or recycling/charity) At least that's what I do :rotfl:
