Thank you

lil_me

Got to agree with Dusty, try kids nurofen (or pharmacy/supermarkets own) for ear ache JillD as long as he's not got asthma etc, you can actually give them both I usually rotate one then the other in the middle same as Dusty said, warm towels over it aswell, helps me no end when I've got one even a hot water bottle to sleep on, bliss! Have you checked inside his ear by the way? We've had several kids near me in the last few weeks end up in A&E because they've ended up with 'things' in their ears, from food to small toy parts like lego. I thought it was only tiddlers who do this but my DS2 did it for the first time at 6 years old with a ciggy end he picked up!

Well apart from the bear pit boys room and dailies tomorrow I have this lot 'planned' but if I get done is another matter

Get DP to fit shelves to wall(will see how high pigs are flying)

Oh and my bum hurts injection didn't hurt when it was done, does now!:o

Ouch :eek: I won't ask for any more information

Michelle - since starting Flying, we all 4 spend 15 - 30 mins an evening doing jobs. I'm in charge (of course ) and direct operations. It really helps and it's amazing how much we get done. We then relax later.

JillD - hope DS is better soon.

And my MIL removed my *antique dust collection*, without asking, when I was in hospital having DD :eek: :mad: . She's never been allowed to forget it :rolleyes:

This is what I've done since I was last here:

Compost bin – emptied and cleaned
Stairs – hovered by DS
Parcel sent
Card posted
Bill paid
Veggie cookbook – bought 2nd hand from Amazon
School uniform - sorted
Bread cupboard - cleaned
BM – brown loaf baked overnight
WM - on
Yogurt maker - on
Cake – made – to decorate
Shopping list – written – shopping done and put away
Wedding present – ordered

Off to the pics this evening.

Have a great day, Penny. x

Morning everyone

Work again for me today, tell you what I went there for a rest yesterday! DS just about drove me mad on Weds, was winding his sis up and she would eventually wind him up in return which wound me up. Se we were all like coiled springs come the end of the day.

Better go get ready, have a good one guys

Morning everyone,

Well my idea to paste the daily lists onto powerpoint seems to be working for me at the moment, as I can just flick through the slides and see just a small list of things that I have left to do. If I get bored working on one room, I change slides and look at another. I have nearly completed every task so far, and as it is catch up Friday for me, this should be quite a good day, especially if I can convince OH (his day off) to help me on a couple of things. He will be out gardening no doubt soon, so I'd better stop chatting, and find him a few tasks.

Happy flying everyone.

Morning all :hello: Awake early again as OH woke me up on his way out as the frontdoor wouldn't shut and he ended up slamming it :rolleyes: Not his fault so I'm not going to have a go at him. DD is already up but is playing/reading in her room with her stereo on and some new CDs my mum got her I'm only here as I had to eat breakfast ASAP, I woke up starving and realised I didn't have tea last night. Sooo... I'm going to cook a proper meal for all of us tonight, might throw something in the slowcooker, but haven't decided yet.

OH is away all day tomorrow at a reunion so DD and I are going to have a bit of fun AFTER we've worked our way through her wardrobe We need to do the whole "does this still fit?" for school primarily and sort out which clothes are still too big for her to wear so need to be put away - I've done the majority of it while she was away earlier in the summer - but she always has a growth spurt between September & December so this time I want to be prepared and have the clothes she needs in :rotfl: She's been promised that if she can help me do that then I will let her have her nails painted & her hair straightened or curled or whatever :eek: Could prove interesting. :rotfl::rotfl:

Right, I've just got to check email and then I'm off for an invigorating bath before setting too. Will check in later :wave:

Level Three
Dusting
Strip beds and replace with fresh linen

I don't have kids, so this is the only one that is relevant to me:

• Clean any one (or more) window that needs doing (I have a fair few of these to do!)
  

Extras: (to do over today and tomorrow, as haven't heard that I'm working tomorrow)

Ooh, I was just wondering where you can get the weekly list from? Because I can't seem to find it on the Flylady site or the Uk Yahoo group!

Thanks!
