Weekly Flylady Thread 24th September 2007

cha97michelle

had a semi-productive day

• went to work
• had a happy child
• got feed back from my lesson observation - lots of good stuff going on, now have another one tomorrow for a whole lesson. :rolleyes: so best be out to impress
• broke the news i am pregnant to my big head of department and he was ok about it
• started organising the astronaut visit i have been put in charge of (its on november the 15th and i have a lot of paperwork/organising to do, so i started by booking the main hall, and asked a head of house to change the day of their assembly that week - plus wrote a list of jobs to do)
• re-made the appointment to see the head teacher to let him know about bump
• was able to peel and chop veg for tea - without feeling sick :T
• folded a big basket of pants and socks with DS's help. Apparently anything else he found needed adding to the basket too. :rolleyes:
• emailed a few contacts asking about trips i can organise for our school

I did some ironing last night, so i need to have a bath, swap some washing between the WM and TD, repack Charlie's bag, and then think about bed.

Its only been a 2 day week and i am already shattered and ready for the weekend.

Oooh - looks like DH is sorting the washing. Perhaps i should do the washing up as he is also trying to do some work this evening.

Toria.. any box.. pick a box!!

Clarkey.. and where the heck is Huntingdon?? lol nowhere near me.. I know.. or I'd happily take you up on the offer!! I really miss doing Avon, I used to really enjoy it.

Bargain of the day... I just got DD1 a new mobile for christmas.. from the littlewoods catalogue.. had a couple of codes and a bit of cashback.. so I ended up paying.. £9!!!!!!!! for a £99 phone!! (samsung D900i seeing as you are all so nosey and can't resist asking!)

Hi all
Thought I would quickly say hi before I go off to bed.
We are all doing well, DD2 settliong in well, feeding going really well, am still up loads in the night,
DS settled fantastically well into school, he loves it.
He and DD1 are mega attention seeking, this is my only prblemette at the minute.

How is everyone doing ? I will try and catch up on everyone's news over the weekend. If anyone fancies posting a summary of what's been happening over the last 2 weeks, well, that would be lovely!
I might try some flying next week, I have managed decobwebbing this week and washed all our bedlinen. But the hoover or duster or bathroom cleaning stuf hasn't been out since the baby was born so I Should really do a bit at least over the weekend. Havekept up with the food and laundry though. Thank goodness for all that batch cooking its been a lifesaver (and tonight DS said "this shepherds pie is lovely Mummy" wow, praise indeed.

Also, if someone can tell me how to include photos (not just a link to somewhere else) I will post a pic of the new arrival!!

Think I will do the pile of toys/craft (rubbish!) under the dressing table rather than a box! and maybe make room in a box for what I don't bin - thanks pigpen!
Loving the xmas tree by the way ! I don't have a pic - tried to use one dd had drawn on paint once but it kept saying too big or something so I gave up!

Also love Littlewoods codes - got OH an England shirt for his b'day for £13 shouldve been £30+

Michelle - you are very busy at work to say you hve a LO and another on the way - hope they take the pressure off a bit now!

xx

Lovely to see you JillD, glad you're all doing well

lil_me

Everytime I get chance to read through I only get part way through and have to do something else so haven't got round to posting :rotfl: JillD great to see you, hope everything continues to go well. Curious about Solwaykid too, I suppose if she doesn't come online tonight we know it's gone well :rotfl:

Busy day, visited school for DS2 this morning, what a pleasant and fab looking place, the headteacher was fantastic, I explained DS2 has SALT and OT input but hasn't seen an Ed Psych for over 2 years, she said she will get a referal sent off to see him in the first few weeks he starts, continue the extra help he gets now etc etc. She's offered for him at his choice to go in for a small visit, half or full days before he starts and said if he wanted and we could sort transport they would take him straight away if we want. She was so lovely DP said he was tempted to drive him there and back each day from now. I think with all we have on it might be a bad idea.

Anyway, from there to the garage to sort out the odd light problem, well it was still wrong, I also found out they'd just swapped them off another car to save ££. So been and had a shout, a NEW one is now on order! Mentioned the noisey brakes and the trim which hasn't been sorted while we were there so our sales contact should call tomorrow about it.

Went round looking for beds for DS2, not much luck, but the one in Littlewoods he also liked is back in stock and on offer aswell so might ask DP about that one. Bought light fittings we need for this house, have to take down all the halogen lights. Ordered a TV stand from Argos. Was going to go to Aldi but the queues were chuffing huge and I was running short of time so gave in and came home. Might try again tomorrow when I am up there. Changed a few more addresses with companies etc, costing me £22.50 to change the 3 dogs details on PetLog! I don't mind paying for a service but changing the 3 dogs details took her all of seconds, doesn't seem right to charge so much for what takes so little time. Took DS2 to physio back to make dinner, then took boys swimming, haven't stopped til now really.

Oh and got my own way getting the keys on Saturday DP now also doesn't have to collect his Mam this week as her leave has been delayed, shame huh, so might even get the shed cleared on Sunday!

I am going to be brave and try to go back and read it all, it's like entering the kids rooms, you never know when you might return. Hope everyone is well, hugs to those who would like/need one. Speaking of kids rooms, think I will do a packing mission in there tomorrow.

Shirley I've dropped you a PM about the little critters.
