Strangely, yes! Today will be a bit easier for me as the study area was started yesterday, so already made in-roads there. Just popped back to bed for 10 mins before the munchkins wake up. Dogs all fed and DW on, so can relax a little.
Hugs to you Ladyluck - PND sucks0 -
Morning all
Up early to strap DS2's fingers before he starts work at 7am, ended up dropping him down there aswell (in my pjs as per normal).
Mogs fed, just having a cuppa now then a few jobs before I get ready for the paid stuff (may go in early today as leaving DS3 home alone for the first time).
Lynne enjoy having your hair and nails done.
Biscuit how scary but please don't beat yourself up, children will always have accidents.
CY thinking of you sweeite and hoping today is a slightly better day.

Morning all
One special :wave: to CY and another :wave: to HB.
I was up at 5.30 so have already
- checked mail
- checked bank account
- downloaded some music for choir (legally), printed out and taped pages together
- done/started WMx2 and hung out first load
- updated diary
Now on my second cuppa! SW later, so no breakfast until after weigh-in, as usual.
Achieved a bit of paperwork yesterday.
Hoping to get some of the stuff cleared off the spare bed today :eek:
Would like to get out into the garden this afternoon, but need to go and look at phones first, which means a trip to Merry He11after SW.
Don't overdo things in your first week, Ladyluck and Dizzy - we don't want Flylady burnout! It takes time to get everything sorted - some of us are still plodding on with more than one Room of Doom after several years' work!
Hope you and your DD are both feeling better this morning, Biscuit.

Good morning early birds!
I've done one wash load hung it outside. Next on the agenda is unloading the DW. I need to list lots of bedding on the local selling sites so that should keep me busy.
Biscuit how frightening for you. I hope your DD isn't to bruised. It's hard when younger siblings try to keep up and accidents sometimes happen. I've got the badge and T.shirt.
lady Luck PND is horrible. Keep going a day at a time gradually you will come through it. x
CY wishing you a better day today xx0 -
Ladyluck hugs hun,my youngest is 3.5 and I'm finally feeling like I'm free of the pnd. It fort gradually easier over the years, but I feel free of it now. Be kind to yourself hun, you won't always feel like this.
natty hope all your purchases help your dog!
iona good luck at weigh in! I did slimming world for a long time, but couldn't afford the €10 a week, so do the 5:2 diet now. You've had a wonderfully productive morning!
Biscuit hope your dd is ok today. Big hugs, that sounds like a nasty fright for you.
Thanks to everyone for all the warm welcomes!
Only got the kitchen things done on yesterday's list, but it's made a huge difference. I can't remember the last time the cupboard doors were scrubbed! It smells so fresh now.
Should get most things done today, it's raining, again, so will take the boys out to the library after lunch. It's a good drive away, so will visit my parents while I'm in the area! Should keep them busy!0 -
Good morning all. I haven't posted for a good few weeks. I don't know if you'll remember the petrified me going for the job interview scared stiff, and getting offered 16 hours, the last few weeks I've worked 40/50 hours! The house is turning into a huge tip so I'm back here to try and get sorted. I'm not sure how much I will manage though.
I'm going to print out the list daily and pin it up for dh, need to teach him how to use thewasher too.
Dd1 was tupton carnival queen at the weekend. It was cold when we left but the sun really came out. She ended up burnt to a crisp. She hasn't been to school as she can't bare anything on her shoulder. Her back is so much better but the tops of her shouldest are still red and so so sore. Going to get her to help me get cleaned this morning before dh gets home and then we need to go shopping.
I will catch up on the thread later but first I'm going to print of today's and yesterday's lists (with washing machine, dishwasher and hoovering added to each, otherwise dh will say he didn't know he had to do them) and make a start xLBM in April 17 - Starting card debt £33554

Morning,
Thanks for all your thoughts folks, DD2 is sore but ok this morning. She has a big bump on her forehead and a scrape, plus a big scrape on her cheek and a swollen eye that I suspect may go black.
Charliewow, sounds like the job is going well!
Got dd1's friend here for a few hours today, looking after her quite a bit over summer. Just mopped kitchen floor and they are traipsing in and out with muddy shoes grrrrrrrrrrrr.
Today to do:
[STRIKE]Daily stuff[/STRIKE]
Trashy Tuesday - Bathroom and Study/Pc Area
Clean floors in these rooms
Clean baths, toilets, don't forget the outside! and sinks
[STRIKE]Delete 50 emails - do you really need that sale email from Dotty P's?[/STRIKE]
Empty and clean out all the upstairs bins! (the proper bins not the rooms that look like bins!)
Clean shower screen/curtain if you have one/if required
[STRIKE]Collect all the dirty laundry [/STRIKE]

Hi all x
I'm such a stupid moo today dropped the iron on the carpet it was a split second, luckily the carpet isn't marked but the iron :eek: I've spent the last hour cleaning it. It's nearly back to normal I've just stopped for a cuppa as my arm is aching. I should be bingo wing free by the time I'm finished.;)
Need to get a wiggle on before work tonight so I'll declutter this tea then make a move.I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged0
