Weekly Flylady Thread 9th September 2013

Yup - 43 - this is in an Early Years Unit -so more than one teacher and lots of nursery nurses and TA's - all seemed happy today though. Our max intake is 45 - and we are nearly up to it for the 3rd year running. We will have an accommodation crisis soon if it continues - and we are in a listed building, so extending is not possible.

Heading to bed now - wine consumed (hic) but still no news. Fingers crossed!

Evening all, on tablet so can't post list but didn't get much done so will catch up tomorrow. Both cats confined to dining room and on a 24 hr water only fast, I can't risk d&v whilst pregnant. Took OH out for dinner so didn't get chance to wash up after finishing work. Will try harder tomorrow.

Hugs to mummyof5 and CY.

Didn't manage to get much of the list done. But I did shine my sink and my hob. Also swept hall floor and laughed with my children.
DS1 also folded up the washing from 2 loads that got done this eve, so not too bad!
Bedtime I think.
Goodnight

Our school is expanding and DS is in the first year they have 3 reception classes :eek: so there is above 80 kids - but 3 teachers and numerous assistants - guess who else must be feeling frazzled

I have resorted to bribery and said if he can be brave we'll see about sending pounds and pounds to Santa to see if he an get his own ipad (not a real one, I got kids versions for £60 in the Argos sale stashed in the loft )

Might take 3 hours or more. Maybe a bit less if she takes the toll road past Brum as that's always "clear". Hope all is well.

Hey guys, I've used this thread a few times, I'm sort of a serial lurker and dip-in'n'out-er. Mind if I sneak back in again?
I might not post much, my laptop keyboard is on the blink and I'm using an on-screen keyboard right now. It takes forever and is a pain!


Mummyyof5 - Sorry to hear about your cat, my mum recently had to put her dog down. So upsetting

Hi folks
I planned to join in this week but was sent home from work yesterday to spend the rest of the day in the bathroom ugh.
Won't get anything done today but I hope to catch up later in the week.
Lovely to hear about all the new babies - mine are in their 20s now!

Sorry to hear so many people and furry ones are ill - wishing you all a speedy recovery.

Hugs to Amber's mummy - so sad, but it does get easier.

Healthy/resting vibes to all new flymummies.

I set about chopping wood yesterday - 6 hours later the woodshed looks so much tidier but boy do I ache today.

The builders arrived yesterday to put new cladding on the dormer. They were only here half an hour and declared a wasp nest on the far right side so they couldn't do THAT bit. Then they realised they needed a roof ladder - GO FIGURE, YOU'RE DOING A DORMER ROOF! so they disappeared together to fetch it. They took off the far right side wood to discover the plywood was rotten underneath, so they stopped for lunch and then went off TOGETHER a second time to go and purchase some plywood. Then one announced he wasn't much use as he had a broken collarbone. It beggars belief!!!!!

They left me with a tin of wasp nest foam which I had to apply after dark once all the wasps had come home to roost for the night. Cue me climbing out of the study window, shimmying across the wet roof tiles in the dark to spray the blimmin stuff at 9.30 last night, with a warning on the tin to stand 2 metres away and wear protective clothing. I was clinging on for dear life - must have looked funny to the passengers on the X5 heading home last night :rotfl:

Off to work shortly but will promise to hoover through and mop as required before I leave.

Right, where's the coffee and the ibuprofen - OUCH!

Morning all

Lozzy welcome

X-Raph welcome home

I've done my first 20 minutes paperwork of the day, going to concentrate on that today, with breaks for flying.

Need to make sure DS1 is up as he has dentist this morning.
