Watch out! My parents live in North Yorkshire - and the mood I'm in, if she starts I might put her in a box and head down the A1 at top speed!!

im new to this why is it only mon tues wed??

Hi Annegeddes,
Welcome to the thread, like 7WW says it stops us getting overwhelmed and if we're all vaguely doing the same things on the same day keeps us motivated together. I hope this works for you, saw your other thread and if you like lists and need a routine that eventually becomes automatic it allows everything else in your life to be as chaotic and spontaneous as you like but you know you can have visitors round without that last minute dash! Plus we give each other kicks up the b if we're feeling lazy.

My list for this morning.
WM on
Charity shop offload 2 bags
Chocolatise HM Hobnobs to take visiting at lunchtime
Make a start on the bedroom list. I had 'gifts' of meeces brought in there last night so need to make sure I find everylast bit. Sorry if you're eating..

Have a good morning. Catch up this evening between supper and Heroes!

Morning everyone,

Well still in my nightie, still haven't eaten breakfast, and still haven't stripped the bed, but I'm in the process of descaling the kettle with vinegar as we speak, so have done a little bit of flying today, even if it is in the wrong room. Still, have also done my daily clicks on quidco - joined yesterday, so hoping to add this to my routine to earn some extra money. Have read Martin's email, and this thread and all of my other subscribed threads, so I'm up-to-date now.

Off to strip the bed before getting dressed and eating brekkie, and then I'll come back on here to see what's happening.

Cya later,

morning ladies :wave:

You'll be glad to hear I'm feeling a bit better today (no the baby hasnt come).
lil_me has kindly offered to be on my hubbys email list for when baby does arrive so if I dont manage to catch up to FLYing straight away LOL she will let you all know any news! Thanks lil_me.

I got really down about it last night, coping with the 2 little darlings for the next 3 weeks. Hubby said his business partner's wife had her MIL come to stay for a month :eek: to help out at end of her second pregnancy, but we dont have any useful family anywhere really. this chap was really surprised I was struggling with the two of them and was saying "yes but they're booked into holiday clubs etc". Er, no. I think this made hubs realise itr is actually hard work and he said "look just book them in the creche at the gym more mornings a week, they'll be fine". So I've done just that, got a slot at 11.15 for an hour today, at least I can sit and read a book or something, if I'm in the gym cafe I have to rest, cant be hoovering etc :rotfl:

I have managed to put away a washing and sort another one to go on in a bit, and have decluttered our bedroom. And tidied kitcen a bit. Oh and opened post. And have put 5 things in hospital bag LOL At least if I had to go now I'd have several nighties to choose from and some feeding bras. No pants though LOL

Must go sort a packed lunch for after creche.

Thanks for everyone's kind words yesterday
Jillx

ps we finally agreed on baby names last night and no I am not telling you!!!

Morning everyone

Just cheekily catching up with you all while having a tea break at work. Was so tired again this morning i didn't hear charlie wake up at about 6:30 ish, so DH got him up, made his breakfast got him washed and dressed, and sorted the cats. I really do have to get myself sorted so i can cope with the mornings when back at work. I am not sleeping that good as an after effect of the cold i still have (a week and a half now) and anxiety about the return to work. I guess i will be better when i get back into the everyday routine and there is less time to think and worry about things IYSWIM

OK, achieved today:

• sorted myself a packed lunch
• sorted charlie's food/bottles for the day into a bag
• packed the car for nursery/work/swimming (looked like we were moving out :eek: )
• folded up a load of DH's t-shirts that were dry on the airer
• turned the WM on with DH's jeans
• got a pasta sauce out of the freezer for dinner (full of veggies to see if i can boost my energy and health)
• had a vitamin tablet

at work:

• been in my filing cabinet and got out ready baskets for my books and put them where i want in my new room
• found out posters that i need to ask the technician to put on the wall for me
• find my desk organiser out
• started to organise where i will be putting stuff in my new desk drawers.
• had a quick look through the drawers and binned some stuff
• managed to find some old newsletters with timings of the school day, and all important dates for next year like exams/parent evenings and wrote them in my planner
• found out when the training days are, and deadlines for writing my performance management objectives
• found out when the 6th form lessons start
• and i am now writing my timetable in my planner for the whole year, all nicely colour co-ordinated and i will hopefully finish that while here today.

so lots of faffy bits, but all definitely essential. Best get back to it as i have just under 2 hours before picking charlie up, and want to eat lunch as well in that time.

Then we are going to:

• visit aunty
• go swimming
• visit parents
• stay there till charlie bedtime
• go home
• charlie to bed
• empty TD of DHs pants/socks and fold it all
• hang up the jeans from WM to dry
• make bottles
• deal with post
• wash up, including all the glass coasters and placemats from the dining table
• load WM for tomorrow - probably some of my stuff
• brush Fred cat as he is very knotty on his belly again
• bring hoover downstairs as it all needs a good going over again tomorrow.

plus any other bits i think of when it is right in front of me.

Michelle, x

Glad you're feeling better Jill, and michelle, I'm sure you'll feel better once you get into a routine again. Glad hubby is helping you out.

Well I've just stripped the bed and put on fresh linen, so think that will be it for now, as I've got to get ready for work (leave at 11.20). Have had a phonecall from one of my temp agencies who may have more work for me doing data entry (she'll call me at 2, although forgot to tell her I'll be at work then, so hope she leaves a message cos I should be finished by 3 so can call her back).

Right, must get dressed and clean my teeth etc.

Cya all later.

Well I don't know if we will be going to my mums after all :rolleyes: Not a problem, I've got to tackle DDs wardrobe at some point so I might do it this afternoon and then take her for a walk as a "reward" - she wants to go train spotting again :rotfl::rotfl: ATM she's in the kitchen making her own lunch
