Weekly Flylady Thread 23rd February 2015

just_the_two_of_us

Morning everyone - been awake what feels like all night!

Up now and bed stripped ready to wash, shower done and just about to breakfast. Off for a long walk first thing before the rain! Enjoy yours Dusty. x


Well done Narco - have you tried any town with a pier for penny arcade - could cut out the auction fees then?

First plan on clearing the landing - I swear Dusty travels to our homes virtually before doing the day's list! LOL


Have lots of calls to make and seem to be on a roll with those so will get on.

Physio for MOT - well overdue but can't wait to see her face when she sees me as 5st lighter than the last time!

Need to book hospice apt for new lymphoedema sleeve fitting as that will need to be a smaller size and need for flight in June.

Breast Care at hospital for a 2nd bra - fed up of trying to wash and dry mine overnight!

An early warning - I may go off thread for a week or so soon as it is my "anniversary of 1 booby in the bin" and I always seem to get down at that time - 19 years on 14th March - I was so lucky.


Hugs to anyone needing them and sticks and spoons for anyone else.

Dont quite know how I am going to survive today. DS1 woke me up at 2am saying "Mum I feel really ill". Looks like he has the same bug as DS2 - very sore throat developing into awful cough. DS2 still looks bad after 4 days and what am I really worried about? The fact that school are sending out attendance letters and DS2s attendance is only 88%.

So it was another night listening to a son fidgeting and coughing. Poor thing.

But work calls and its going to be busy. Hot shower, bowl of porridge and into action I guess.

And yes, I have a pile on my landing. Might try and deal with that later.

Oh and Pigpen I know you are not really the huggy type but you sound like you need one. You are a good parent and definitely not dysfunctional. Dont let anyone make you think otherwise.

Got to go!!

Texted sister yesterday had a text convo as we've not been in contact for a while.
DD3 popped round and loved the bootees, so I'm now knitting mittens to go with them.
Did a perm hat for the local hospital while watching the dvd that will go in the give away pile, it wasn't great but not a total waste of 2 hours.

Need to declutter the boys now

Morning everyone

Just the dailies yesterday. Then when I got home had to rush the ginger ninja to the vets. Poor thing has cystitis. Have managed to get the meds into him. He is also overweight so have to sort that.

Today I should get the dailies done and a bit off the list. DD coming for lunch then it's SW later.

Dusty Hugs.
Narco Well done.
Pigpen Thinking of you.

Boys now packed up and decluttered, I've sewn the hat and mittens together while DS2 was having his breakfast.
Just remembered I'm doing mils cleaning this morning then injection appt with her this afty so won't get much done here today. Also just been informed we are out of breakfast cereals (cornflakes don't count apparently as they are boring) forced to eat said boring cornflakes today but will I pick up some non nutritional rubbish cereals for tomorrow. I suppose something is better than nothing even if it is a coco pop!
Must remember to ring my mum and post auntie card today.

I'm afraid I'm not coping with life much better this morning than I was last night.

DD1's OH is upset at the prospect of me not playing WoW with him any more lol.. it isn't like we trot around as a furry couple, we rarely do anything but chat rubbish.. My OH doesn't appear to give 2 hoots.


sample in to drs, Squeaks medicine dropped at school, phone on charge, fish tank packaged ready to post; best stick an address on it tbh.. they said they'd email one through and I've not got it.

L/woods paid in full last night.. need to sort my log in which it won't let me do at the moment making payments difficult.

Morning!

Great news narc0 you must be so relieved!

Aww pigpen I will hug you even though you hate it xxx we are here for you, as and when. It's good to take a break sometimes. Try not to let the mediation thing get too under your skin, it's not going to change anything "this too will pass" xxx

Mrs MP I like the idea of a perm hat my hair is neither straight nor curly, so I could use one of these

I am actually working at the mo (honest) but I've got s few bits done before the school run:
Put a big wash on
Made my bed
Tidied LR and straightened throws etc
Tidied kitchen and put breakfast things in DW
Put bins away
Opened gate for window cleaner

Words have been had with nursery teacher - "have you done any reading with DD this week?" "No we haven't, she's been wanting to do role play and making up games for us" <me thinks who is the teacher here> "oh well if you get 5 mins this morning can you get her a book and sit with her please, I think you will be surprised, I look forward to hearing what we will do with her next". Lol. I think she took it the right way. I'll be interested to see what comes of it.

Right. Paid stuff beckons! And I'll sweep the LR rug on my tea break
