[STRIKE]Morning[/STRIKE]. Whoops, afternoon everyone!

Thank you Iona and now Valli for Secret Santa. Valli, if you give me a prod this time next year, I'll take my turn then. Full tutorial obviously needed so I don't mess up though.

I'm just back in from a couple of hours weeding and garlic planting at the allotment. I went reluctantly, but actually it was nice to be out in the fresh air. I've quickly swept and mopped the dining room, utility and kitchen, so I'm catching a quick bite (super healthy home made quinoa and veggie salad, as this not-so-slinky needs all the help she can get) before starting on the living room. I've just put a load of jeans in the wm, so I'm hoping that they will go out on the line for a couple of hours.

Lunch now done whilst typing, so back later.

*Shuffles in, shamefacedly*

Slinky - total failure. Still trying to shift blasted drug-induced weight gain. Blame, in no particular order, Prednisolone, Norethisterone, Mirtazipine and Gabapentin; all of which have been tried and rejected over the years, but the weight they shovelled on during the trial periods remains.

No spend - fell off the wagon in October as we replaced our ancient and venerable duvet with two single ones (lighter one for me so that I won't swelter at night any more), two new pillows, and some new bedlinen. In mitigation, everything that was being replaced was literally falling apart.

Bungalow remains a midden. Bessie has just been collected, I have til 16:00 on Thursday to get it reasonably presentable, as that's when Suzie arrives.

I can't keep up at the moment. I'm really sorry but I'm going to admit that a campaign I'm involved in is now taking all of my available time and will continue to do so for at least three or four more weeks.


I'll try to read even if I can't post, but I didn't even manage that towards the end of last week, what the craft fair and the campaign.


Back as soon as possible.

Still sick today. Not bad enough to miss work, but bad enough that all my energy is taken by my shift. I have lost my voice, which has brought merriment to BF and the office.


I did manage to throw a soup together, and while that was bubbling, empty, wipe and refill the cutlery drawer.
Grabbed a couple of things off the clothes horse (mostly fresh uniform for tomorrow).


In bed early again

Valli

So, today's achievements -
cleaned kitchen
ran DW & emptied
ran WM x 2 pegged out
cleaned bathroom
sorted a PTA job and paid money and cheques into bank
ironed today's line dried washing
made a banana cake with aging bananas
Made stuffed baked peaches for DS - these are cooking together in one oven
Cleaned out Benny Bunny
Wombled carrot tops and cauliflower leaves for him from market

I have, however, forgotten to buy a phone top up and unfortunately cannot top up over the phone so will have to traipse out again.

PM sent, thank you Valli xx

I couldn't be more exhausted if I tried. Manic day at work, then got home to find DS having a huge meltdown for my friend, he'd been contrary and challenging from the moment she collected him from school

Try to remind myself he's only 4 and, unlike his big sister, he struggles with changing routine, so going back to school after the half term hols will have thrown him.

DH now away for 5 months for work :eek: returning on weekends only.

Right, I'll stop my witterings! Flylady wise the DW is on, TD has been emptied and kitchen tidied xx

Boys begin a testosterone rush around 4-5, so are least likely to want to sit down and be well behaved/quiet in classes just when they are expected to learn to do so; he could be stressed about school (including the behaviour of other kids and that the weather means he can't burn off some energy at play and lunchtime in the same way he could just a few weeks ago). Girls don't have the same surge of hormones at that point, so tend to find school less stressful at that age, even before you take into account any additional difficulties/diagnosis or whether he's bothered about your OH being away for a whole five days at a time - which seems like ages for little ones.
