Weekly Flylady Thread 27th August 2007

MUMOFTWO - sounds like the element has gone, would have thought it would be cheaper to get that replaced than buy a new oven. Ours went on the Saturday as we were moving on the Wednesday. Phoned an engineer who quoted £40 labour plus part, came to £72. If you know the make are your hubby is handy you can order the elements on-line and fit them yourself.

MARALUM - lovely to hear you are doing so well, you sound very Chipper!

I too am having a cuppa been very busy since last on. Me and the littles have been:-

Weeding flower boarders in front garden
Cutting grass (I did that:D )
Cutting back lavender bushes (collected some for girls to make bags for inlaws for xmas)
Cut hedge
Planted xmas trees Father Christmas gave them last year.
Put the plaque they made out there with trees

My littles have been sweeping up behind me. DD1 is being perfect today, very polite, super obedient, I dont know whether to be or :eek: of what is to come, but am giving loads of positve praise so hoping we are turning a corner.

Have to phone BT and get number so we can move our internet from them, sick of getting charged in advance for it, blooming £90 odd quid added again this quater so means my monthly direct debit is being increased. Thinking of going to Sky - anyone got any recommendations??

Right tea must be right temp for drinking by now. x

What a morning, went to put the water heater on so I could wash up and bang all the power went off, unplugged and switched off everything then put power back on, switched water heater on then power went off again, called council who tried to get away with not fixing it today as I have a shower then explained DS1 won't shower and it's also the heating so they sending someone out today supposedly.

Guess what I'm doing?






Having a cup of tea and a mini apple pie DS1 made whilst at Nanny's house - it would hurt his feelings if I did not eat it.

DS3 wants a bunk bed for his teddies. He made one out of a shoe box but it fell apart. Been looking on ebay but not what I want. Might put an ad on free cycle.

AnW's Mum - LOL I know I said I'd ease off but I keep thinking of things to do LOL. I did lie down for a bit yesterday afternoon while the children were anaesthetised by CBeebies. And sat in the cafe at the gym for an hour and a half this morning. Can I please do some more stuff now ??:rotfl: The breast pads seemed like a good idea at the time LOL am hoping to get our curtains done over the weekend sop might just try out the breastpads while the sewing machine is out, More than anything I am intrigued to see if they are any use at all. Gardening not my forte. definitely leaving those til last!!
Anyway I reckon once kids are back to school and I am dragging myself out of bed at 7am (the middle of the night in our house, we are all very lazy and dont get up til 8.30) and walking to school and back twice a day I will be far far far far too tired to do anything so it will be enforced rest for me.

rach - ooh you will have to PM me when you are finished, I couldnt put it down, totally neglected the kids for a week LOL. And I am hopeless at giving blood, always feel wonly afterwards, maybe you should leave til a time when you dont have to drive. Probably too late to be saying this now ...... oh just read your late post - glad you changed your mind

pigpen - bummer about the debt balance but as you say at least its not getting worse uncontrollably. Derfinitely not out of order to ask sis for the dosh. Where did you get the free PS3 from - well done! And re the toilet decoarating you may as well just leave a pot and brush in there and do it a bit at a time as you pay your visits LOL seems quite an effective method to me

juliejim - good luck with that baking. hope you have a full plastic bodysuit to hand andf a hose for the walls afterwards LOL

mumoftwo I hope you get sorted with the cooker, Onlky thing about doing it yourself is they are hardwired into the wall arent they ? As opposed to plugging in, and legally now you are supposed to get an electrician to do any works to your house but then again who is gonna know ??

lil_me - what a pain hope they get ot sorted for you asap. Having no hot water etc is the pits

My day going ok. DS been to loo with no arguments several times :j Have now had 3 days with minimally wet oants so am feeling very encouraged. Sat in cafe this morning was lovely, while they were in creche. Have sorted hospot on top of filing cabinet in spare room, and also cleared out bins in they, they were overflowing. That room is now ready for whoever comes to stay with kids if required overnight, when baby comes. God last night I had loads of dreadfulo heartburn, hubby went out at 10.30 to buy more milk for me, bless him. Even gaviscon isnt working now. Anyway net result - I woke about 8 times for the loo in the night, but each time I woke I had dreamt my waters had broken, so I kept waiting and thinking - am I in a puddle ? I wasnt by the way LOL. Heard this morning about a girl who works at the gym - she was due today, went to hospital last nigth with contracftions etc, she as only 3cm so they sent her homw, anyway she had it IN THE BATH AT HOME ON HER OWN this morning!!! How scaryt/amazing/cool/traumatic is that!!!! All fine etc and the paramedics did get there in time to help her get the body out, she got the head out herself!!:eek:
