Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd September 2007

7_week_wonder

Hi All,

Firstly, Lil_me, please take care. I wish there was something more constructive I could say or do. But just know that we are all sending you postitive vibes that you get away from your dreadful neighbours and find somewhere more settled.

Well I turn my back for 48 hours and what happens? Michelle is pregnant - big congratulations! Rach is about to become a published author -well done! and Pigpen is in charge!

I'm getting into the hang of university (though I keep being the first one into the department as my bus gets in just before 9.00 - I don't think half the others are out of bed by then! ) I'm really enjoying it so far, but I have to confess I am toiling to do anything when I get home.

Never mind, I managed to do a half-hearted fly round the bathroom tonight and there's a pasta bake in the oven for when hubby gets home (sometime in the next 20 minutes - buses allowing).

Hope everyone else is coping with the new term, and all suggestions for how to fly when you get home at 7 in the evening knackered gratefully received.

Catch you all tomorrow,
7WW

solway LOL - I have heard that if your waters go in M&S they give you some vouchers - often thought of just going in and chucking a bottle of Evian down the front of my trousers :rotfl: Where do you think would be the best place to do it ? Where could I get the best value out of ?

Actually I am feeling really guilty. Decided to splurge in lunch in a restaurant in Legoland (and I use restaurant in the loosest sense of the word) instead of yet another picnic, was just too tired this morning to make it. Anyway ordered kids meals and they forgot to make them so I went ahead and paid for everything, took me and OH's over and then went back for kids. I'd got them pizza, the man in front asked for garlic bread, so I did too (plus I know its lovely and the kids will eat it) he said fine bu its extra, (he knew I had already paid for it). Well I deliberately didn't pay and sauntered over to our table without paying for it :eek: :eek: I am justifying it that my poor kids had to wait for their lunch because the silly man forgot to cook it for them, but I still feel really guilty. Forgive me Legoland, for I have sinned ......

Decided to give online grocery shopping a go, and as I joined quidco today, thought 'Tesco, via quidco, great!'. But Tesco link isn't working! Its not fair!

michelle ooh be 6 days late then it will be my birthday May 17th

Rach well done getting published - how exciting! Prob just as well you werent around last night, I;d have kept you up half the night! Finally crashed up the stairs again at about 2.45, eventually got to sleep, then DS got me up at 3.30 :mad: Finally I got off to sleep some time around 4 and woke up again to the little darlings at 7.30am :yawn:

Right, am going to watch 10 Years Younger and write up some stuff in their baby books (have to make it up I've forgotten it all LOL)

Hello everyone,

Have just been catching up with the thread again, and OH is cooking dinner as I'd made no moves towards doing it myself (pasta is his speciality after all, and if he makes too much, I can take some for lunch tomorrow).

Got a text message from the cow at the pub today, saying that both my shifts (all day Saturday) have been cancelled, and I'm really annoyed as I turned down temp work about an hour before cos I was meant to be working. However, I got home, and found a message asking me to babysit Saturday night, so will get to spend the night in relaxing and being paid for it, cos kids will probably be in bed, so I will make some money after all. Will go in to collect my wages on Sunday, and tell them I want to leave I think, as I no longer trust the rest of the staff after my wages were stolen, and I'm fed up with having to run my life around their disorganised lives. Plus I've been asked to temp all next week in a job earning £7/hour and it's just down the road from where my sis works, so we can share the cost of petrol. Hope these jobs keep rolling in for me.

Alas, have done no flying today, but lots of playing with the cat in the garden, and off to watch a bit of telly with OH now. May S&S the bathroom after dinner as not much on TV.

pigpen did i ever tell you that you are a star! Thanks for offering. Does make more sense than me having a breakdown trying to do it, and we can then maybe all help out with some kicks.

PS - Jill - i calculate my due date to be the 11th of May. Although Charlie was 8 days early,so i suppose it could be April

You can tell me I am a star as often as you like.. I don't mind.. I bet I am sat here of an evening waiting for lil_me to post her list and forget I'm supposed to be doing it.. .. I'm THAT dim! You already have 3 peoples worth of stuff on without adding to it!!!

I'm up for sharing kicks.. but if you kick me you get an extra job as punishment.. and it WILL be a nasty one!! lol

All my lot, apart from DS1 were early.. 9-3 weeks most were about 6 weeks early though.. I just got fed up!!! DS3 was due 28th April.. and born 4th March!!! he broke my waters with his poky fingers and his hand on his head.. he was born with his hand first.. flew out like superman!! lol

7WW.. why do you think I don't leave? I just can't bear to miss news!!

pigpen

My bug zappy lamp is on overdrive tonight.. is it just us or is everyone overly bugged tonight!! I've killed about 40 gnats.. and the bite on my arm is still huge!!

CURRENTLY UPLOADING 100 LISTINGS!!!!!!!!!!

Now you can call me loopy!!! (42 are relisted!)

JillD .. Woolworths give you a towel to stop you leaking all over the floor if your waters go in there.. Debenhams call for the man with the mop and shove you out the door.. but Asda are pretty good.. you get nappies and vouchers and alsorts in there.. might be worth hanging about in there for a few weeks.. lol

listings done.. so now I'm off to shower!!

Hi everyone, i haven't been on much due to a mad house but have kept up with the flying.
DD and DS1 started school on monday, DD now into p3 and my DS1 only started and he's so small, all of school uniform had to be taken in and up . He had no problem going and he's really enjoying it.
I'm in the middle of trying to get a grant for my daughter so have been on the phone all day.
Husband isn't really any better and we have a home treatment team that call out everyday which keeps me on my toes, need the house to look tidy.
DS2 is getting even more clingy since the older 2 started school.
Have a bedroom to sort tomorrow, lots of damp and plaster to fix, then gonna repaint and move furniture about.
Lots of stuff for ebay but think i'll wait till a low price listing day.
