Hiya
Sorry i've not been able to catch up on the whole thread as you guys have been very busy!

I've managed today's chores. Yeah! Had a busy day as well. Had to complain in Tesco's because there were two people working there f ing and blinding at each other, I mean, I'm no prude but the air was blue! There I was with my friends three year old and she started saying the f word too! Anyway, got that sorted and they apologised!

Advice please....how do you get blue plastersine off towels when they've been washed and tumbled dried so it's set solid! Sorry, I know it's very un MSE but I need to tumble work towels. Anyway, at the moment they're all ruined!

Right, I need to go and do another wash and a sort the underwear. I so need to sleep.

Welcome to all the new ones and hugs to everyone xx

Edited to add: I'm not so MSE that I usually wash plastersine...it's was in DS school uniform pocket....he's no longer DS he's little monster son!

Great news about Matthew - feel like we know him
hugs to everyone else who wants / needs 1 xx

Evening folks. Lots of lovely things happening to the lovely flyladies.

Nice to see that mathew is out of hospital and doing well, and that julie got the job, and that SM is confident about tomorrow.


I have not been that productive since getting in. I've played with charlie, let him have a bubble bath and got some lovely kisses for my trouble, and then once bedtime came, i have made a delicious stew which i have just finished munching.

I now need to do some school work, and then the usual evening sort out for the morning. Feeling quite poopered as we were awake at 5:40 again. :eek: Can the clocks change again please as we didn't have sleeping problems here until then.

Anyway, off i trot as i am feeling poopered already so i don't want to work for more than 30 minutes ish and then try for an earlyish night again. At least it is my later start tomorrow. so we won't rush around quite as much in the morning.

Michelle, x

Just checking my avatar has change to show my 2 little ghouls - lol! Yes I am putting off doing the ebay stuff!

Michelle sweetie, you sound worn out hun still not long till the xmas hols, just make sure you take time to relax and build your energy levels back up. Growing a person is the hardest job in the world! I have an 18 month gap between my 2 and I know how tired I was (and I wasnt working either).

Daily routines are anything you need to do on a daily basis like washing, swish and swipe kitchen and bathroom, ironing, making beds, vacuuming high traffic areas, making meals etc

Night-time routines are all things which make getting ready in the morning easier, preparing clothes for the next day, making lunches, swish & swipes of the kitchen and tidying the living room before you go to bed plus personals like shower/brush teeth etc.

27 Fling Boogie - stick on some loud music, grab a binbag and whizz around the house finding 27 items that can go out with the rubbish, recycling, for charity shop, basically anything that will stop it cluttering your home.

Swish and swipe means have a quick wipe over an area such as a sink or toilet to prevent the build up of dirt. This is usually done on a daily basis

Ok here goes this week!
