Morning

Its not raining here yet but it will do and OH is not too pleased that I wanted the car today. He is doing overtime at a station 16 miles away so has had to get his precious Goldwing out (its usually only a dry bike!). Well he wanted to get rid of my car to get it, so now he'll have to put up with it, and him getting wet. :rotfl:

Chillies still in bed but need to get them up soon. Want to get out of house early for the shopping trip. Oh dear the thought of it, an hours journey and a 15yr old and 8 yr old who will probably bicker all the way there. Oh to be able to turn the clock back to when they were little and amused by the wheels on the bus tapes in the car.

Well i'm all breakfasted and 2 mugs of tea so better go shower and wake kids.

Hope you all have a good day.

See you later

Hi all, rather miserable weather here in Norfolk today, drizzly and windy. I am going to Norwich to buy school shoes :eek: as DD's feet seem to have doubled in size in two weeks (alright, slight exaggeration..). I hate "real" shopping, I am alright with internet shopping, but have to get her feet measured properly I think. I am taking my lovely MIL to help.

Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets

Clean any other glass like mirrors etc
[STRIKE]Tidy shoes, coats and bags
[/STRIKE]Vacuum under furniture (only if you won't hurt yourself doing it, don't want any injuries)
Extra Mission:
Using the idea Shirley suggested, get yourself a bag or box, go around collecting things that are not in the place they should be, then put them back where they should be

Happy flying all

Mumoftwo, hope the back to school goes well
Dusty hope the fast and the blood tests go ok
LJD1 Pleased the WD40 worked, people look at me like I am mad when I tell them!
Witchypoo if you don't want to use chemicals on the mildew try eucalyptus oil, it's strong stuff so wear gloves but does go a long way and helps with mildew. If you paint over it I managed to get a stuff called 'stain blocker' which you spray or paint on then paint over, stops it showing through or coming back through. B&Q sell it.
Shirley great stuff getting the mortgage transfered another step towards getting sorted

Right, aswell as todays list and dailies I need to

Clean vivarium
[strike]Bins and recycling out, see if I can get the cooker packaging in someone elses bin [/strike] oh no I got the extras in then forgot to put our bin out
[STRIKE]Get kids to help in their room - mission impossible, but I can barely open the door again![/STRIKE] 15 mins better than nothing
Finish sorting fish tank -clean all stones etc
[strike]Collect parcel from Royal Mail [/strike]
Sort laundry
Finish tidying kitchen should have done last night but went to bed instead
[strike]Small amount of shopping[/strike]
Try to get DP to - fasten that naffing shelf unit to the wall and put the [strike]kitchen rack up (kitchen rack been there 6 months)[/strike]:j one down he's said he'll do the shelf unit tomorrow
[STRIKE]Get the boys to do some reading and writing[/STRIKE]

Oh and I'm getting on my own nerves, keeping things nice, putting the pans back in the bags after cleaning them oh no I'm turning into Anthea :eek:

Raining here and DS2 is bored so will be getting him to work

Goood Morning happy flyers :wave:

On my own again (sob) lovely, smart looking DDs back to school today. It was hard to see my baby start secondary school but I know she will be fine.

Full of good intentions:

Breakfast dishes already washed (made myself do it before switching on the pc)

Living room (all levels) It needs a good cleaning out

Make soup (vegetable I think with pearl barley)

checking to see if I can find recovery disk for computer (don't think I have one)

collect washing/ maybe do some ironing (can't stand it)

air rooms/make beds

S & S bathroom

Enough for just now, if I make a too big a list, I get downhearted and won't do anything.

Bye for now from a little bit sad mummy who has handed her kids over to the Education Department yet again......... FREEDOM !!!!!

morning

Dull and damp here as well. Going to print off the list for DD and I to work through. She asked what the 'cleaning website' was telling us to do so we'll try and make it a game and see how far we get. Need to add ironing to the list as well the mole hill has become a proper hill and is in danger of turning into a mountain.

lil_me

mumoftwo ((hugs)) I was bad enough when they started nursery and primary school, can't imagine what I'll be like when they start seniors. I'm sure she'll be fine. Enjoy the peaceful day.

Hello to AnW'sMum's daughter good luck helping your Mum

Morning all :hello:

I won't be doing too much flying this week - I have tonsilitis After 4 distrurbed nights sleep (2 due to OH & DD being away, 2 so far due to not being able to breath because of my sore throat), a big row with OH on Sunday night (first one in 8 years :eek: ), and not really being able to eat for most of yesterday I'm feeling awful. Fortunately OH got me some soup yesterday and then went out again this morning before work to Mr Ts and got me more soup, ice-cream & paracetamol so I'm set for the next 2 days On antibiotics as well but the doctor pescribed capsules so they're not exactly easy to swallow

So far today I've got DD ready to go to work with OH (she's really excited as she's never been before and he's promised to take her to McDonalds for her lunch ), sorted through the washing on the maiden (mainly as I need clean PJ's) and had chicken soup for breakfast :rotfl: Now I'm going to do a batch of dishes as my mug needs washing, then I'm going for a sleep then a bath, and I might even consider getting dressed into tracky bottoms & a t-shirt as I feel lousey being in my PJs all the time Maybe Peter Kay DVDs will call to me later, but I'll see how I feel. Laters :wave:

Hi, Flyladies :j Dreadful day yesterday - saw doctor, nurse, hospital, with DD. She was really poorly, and I was came very close to fainting at one point (no lunch and a hectic, stressful day). DD is now much better, but still can't speak or eat. Didn't get everything done that I planned, but this is what I did do, and what I've done this morning:

Recycling – put out
Dustin – put out
Cupboard – cleaned and bleached
Children’s bed linen – washed and dried
DS’s curtains – washed – to iron and re-hang
Menu plan – written
Chilli, plum crumble – made

Upstairs loo to clean, today, and check school stuff for the children and make a list of what needs buying.

See you later, Penny. x
