Weekly Flylady Thread 31st December 2007

A lap lurker is a child who comes and sits on your lap - I think it is a phrase I picked up from Mrs PPen. Said child has just come back down the stairs to tell me 'something really important - somebody has put toothpaste in the loo'.

Why is he still not asleep at 10:00?

back from parents - dad chirpy enough but covered from head to foot in an allergic reaction rash. Hopefully the district nurse will be out tomorrow to check it out properly for him.

feeling poopered now - just sat and wrote a new baby card for my mate so i can get that in the post tomorrow. Car is in for an MOT and a service tomorrow, so i am really hoping the weather is OK. I might have a wander out with Charlie in the buggy to baby clinic and perhaps to take another bag of my 'treasures' to the charity shop. Sister gave me a little suit for new baby tonight, a little smart outfit - white suit with blue waistcoat and dicky bow tie, She thinks new baby can wear it for a wedding we have been invited to next summer.

Big wave to Jill. Due date is the 7th of May, and i am writing a to-do list that would put yours from last year to envy of all the things i want to do between now and then. DH said yesterday he had forgotten how much DIY hurt. ROTFL.

Anyway, i am going to manage a bath tonight in our sparkly (hopefully) bathroom. Apparently DH finished off putting sealant around it while i was out, so hopefully it is dry as my back definitely needs a soak to ease it off a bit or i won't manage charlie tomorrow.

Nighty night, x

I like the lap lurker name, I call them yoyos because they're up and down like them. Ds2 is an expert in tales of bedtime, the biggest yoyo usually, thankfully doesn't tend to sit on my lap as he's not little and squishes me.

Kaz, hugs, think we've all had the 'virus' line from doctors who refuse to admit they haven't a clue what is wrong. I am not being mean or saying doctors don't study etc but some do make you wonder....

Michelle, hope your sealant doesn't pong, ours did that DP used last time and I felt sick when I went for a bath, really strong ammonia smell, urgh. Best hope the scan was right for a little blue one then with the present

Watching UKTVFood and it's making me hungry which isn't good, now sat wondering what quick and easy food we have in.....

Great news - the DW is working after DH fiddled with it!

Michelle glad your dad is chirpy

Off to bed for me as it is cold sitting here, I need some goose around me.

Hi Guys

I'm back here on page 18!!!!!!!! First day back at work and I am wondering what the custodial sentence is for murder these days :eek::rolleyes::D and that's only with one of the new bosses there! Ah well will make for a fun few weeks while they try to divide and conquer the rest of us. Little do they know that they ain't going to succeed

Anyway wanted to say hi to maralum and jill, nice to see you both again. Hugs to embb, sorry to hear you have split up. tia I hope things have calmed down in your house a bit and hubby has seen the error of his ways

JUst caught up with the posts! It's taken me ages - heres what I remember!

Tracy - Hope LO is ok now - it's hard work when they are this age - they want to climb and run when they can barely walk!
Embb - Hugs to you - not sure whats happened and why you split but if it's 3rd time then maybe in the long run it's for the best - still must be heartbreakin for you though x
Maralum - Welcome back - I come n go but remember you and your home birth!
HUgs to poorlies and anyone I missed!

LO has not been sick today for the first time since boxing day!! He is a bit better thanks god but still a baby chimp clinging to me all day so thats my excuse for the lack of flying!

Off to get some sleep now as he has been up before 5 for the past fortnight - I am feeling my age!!

Nite all xx

cheers to lil_me and Dusty, Dusty I'll let you know if Woolies fails to help me out. He's 4 1/2, sort of avergeish build. I don;t really know what sort of fabric I was thinking of so I guess anything will do at this stage. He loves his England shorts that are shineyish (another godparent gift) so maybe shiney ones would be a winner with him at least!

michelle - so you too are going to partaking in extreme-nesting LOL

Right off to bed in a bit, got all 3 kids booked into creche tomorrow (yikes that will be expensive) while I go to the gym, then got to have baby's 4 month jabs in the afternoon (sob) and then collect a cake for a friend.
If I have time I will wrap a couple of (now very late) Xmas parcels to post (I am so disorganised this year) and get them posted in the pointless 45 minutes between jabs and cake.

Nighty night

Shiney shorts - got my son his from 'Sports Soccer World' or whatever those discount sports soccer places call themselves now for about £3, he loves them aswell. Think the smallest ones we have here are 8-9 unfortunately so that wouldn't help unless he wants a tent.

Jill just to point out you are allowed to be disorganised, you have a young baby, part of the luxury so enjoy your excuse! Oh and give little one a hug from me, poor squidge having to have injections mine never cried until after when they had their injections, weird children.

Right, think I should get to bed aswell, I NEED to start getting up earlier to prepare for the back to school, well I am getting up early enough it's the everything else like getting dressed, dressing the boys, feeding everyone etc I need to get me and the boys back into before Monday! Oh and my Wilkinsons replacements that were damaged when the vinegar leaked also arrive tomorrow, they have arrived at 7am before so I best get dressed as early as possible.

Goodnight everyone x
