Weekly Flylady Thread 20th August 2007

Evening, not had a bad day in terms of my list, DH was home at lunch for our medical so he had DS (much to his annoyance:rolleyes: ) whilst I got things done. Had a go at him earlier as I'm the one having to pack the house, keep up with the cleaning/washing/ironing/cooking/budget and when I ask him to play with DS so I can crack on, he pulls faces and moans then later completely deny he does it. Need to do stuff while hes got DS otherwise I get nothing else done, plus this weekends busy as Sat we're seeing family and Sunday its my birthday and I WILL have one day off. Hes now generally creeping but I'm so naffed off he can pee off. Anyway:rolleyes: :mad:

Jill Those last few weeks are awful aren't they? The loo in the night, my sickness came back, I was up and down all the time and just so, so tired. The newborn/labour tiredness is nothing compared to the end - I went overdue and was truely awful to everyone.
Pollybear Our dogs wag their tails at someone too, they mainly hang round on the stairs too. But whats really freaky is when the baby waves at them! Or when I have to go into DS in the night and they are stood against the window!:eek: But whats worst is when they move things and hide stuff:mad:

I think I've finished the kitchen list, it looks a whole lot better in any case. Sorted my paperwork too and put stuff ready in my bag to post tomorrow. I've been trying to change my loan to a better rate and had a phone call about an application which went on forever to no avail which was a bit dissapointing so I sat and shouted at the telly for a bit. Very theraputic.

Had a mooch on the 'wintery' threads that are popping up and that made me feel bleak and chilly. Ran a hot bath.. and put my pans in to soak in bio powder when really I could've just fancied jumping in it myself.

Oh woe is me :rotfl:

Tracyg, when what are stood against the window?:eek: You lot are scaring me (in the nicest way possible!)

Pigpen, have a fab hols - even if its a sober one. Gonna be a quiet week on here without you!

Aimeelister, ( I like that you left Cat's typing in)I wish my landlord would redesign my kitchen. It's my next room to be decorated and I'll have to ring him to ask if he minds if I take the peeling wallpaper down.:o

I'm having an early night, I think AF is on her way, grump grump grump.

Happy Flying tomorrow, join you when I'm home from work. ta ta.

pigpen

Solway.. fret not.. I'm back on Saturday!!! It's only 4 nights
