Weekly Flylady Thread 31st March 2008

pigpen, however tempting that is at the minute, I know he is not capable of looking after them for more than a couple of hours, however stupid that may seem. He forgets to feed/water them for a start.Oh then there is the £ issue lol. He wants to go visit family, which is fair enough as we haven't seen the little one for 2 years now, but it's just not good at the minute, we'll go when I have some money to go and he's not being a !!!!!!!!! The dogs his brother sometimes will look after for us, but if not it's going to cost me £40 for kennels. 2 assignments due in and it being half term this weeks going to be stressful enough as it is!! Another time maybe :rotfl:

**scratches arm** more piriton needed

I'm trying to remember my Betfair log in/password, can't remember who I've put bets on :rotfl: Oh and it's snowing/hail stoning etc, bah!

pigpen

Lil_me.. I think you just don't want our snots lol... Have you considered going on strike as far as he is concerned?? Other than he is male is there a reason behind this stupid behaviour??? I do think men go a bit loopy every so often.. mine had another couple of moron days the other week.. it was this time last yeaar he did it as well.. I blame the change in weather.. I often wonder why we actually bother.. surely it would be better if we just ate them as soon as we got pregnant??

:bdaycake: Happy Birthday embb
:bdaycake: Happy Birthday Nicki's DD

Hope you both have a great day.

You will be all pleased to know I have completed the most important task of the day - the long soak in the bath, while DD1 played in her room and DD2 went to Tesco with DH.

He's now off to the football and I need to drop the kids off with SIL in an hour before I go to work.

GnB - Thanks again for the tip off about Betfair - my money has been returned already too and I got in intime for the £50 through Quidco. I'm assuming they'll honour the £50 for those who signed up in time as its still showing as tracked.

My DH had been good today too, and said he'll cook us a prawn curry for when I get home from work at about 8.30pm.

Off to get ready while DD1 watches High School Musical 2 (again!)

pigpen, the male thing I think explains most of it, other than that he's just a grumpy, moody PITA! Strike I have been tempted with but he'd just be even more of a pig, done it before, like when he will go to the bakery to get lunch (physically not capable of cooking I don't think) then eat cakes/pastries etc in front of the boys when I have made them a healthy lunch, he goes off to his Nana's and gets her to do everything for him etc. He's more ASD than the boys are and wearing the same clothes for days wouldn't/doesn't bother him. He'll happily dump all his rubbish everywhere and live in it without being bothered (he's sat surrounded in crisp packets, pop cans etc now) his side of the bedroom is horrible with all the rubbish. Oh and tomorrow he's invited his brother over, I'll have to take him home after they get drunk because I need to keep him sweet for when I need him to look after the woofers in May I think it is. I just feel unappreciated and definately 'alone' at the minute.

Right moaning over, or I'll just keep moaning and make myself worse Need to get the kitchen tidied and finish my meal plan. Need to use some of that mozarella up this week.

I've got bets on 12 horses in the grand national :rotfl:

pigpen

lol @ the bets Lil_me.. you watch none of them win.. pmsl... i hope you make your first million on them!!!

You can come visit me any time you like.. you aren't alone.. you have all of us! You lucky thing lol!!

pigpen

playpen listed in the local free-ads.. 2 binbags of baby clothes rehomed.. and the car seat.

What else can I fling today??

I have found a few more bits to ebay.. and actually tidied nothing!

Hippy110

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to those celebrating today

HUGS to those feeling poorly or who are having problems with OHs.

Right, what have I done so far on my list today? Just got my bedroom and the ebay stuff to sort out once I've finally put my washing away. Just about to update my signature with my latest bogof savings from Tesco - again, they were things I'd buy anyway which is fantastic!

• [STRIKE]Pay corporation tax[/STRIKE] Ouch! :eek:
  
• [STRIKE]Half hour RSPB bird survey[/STRIKE] 1 blackbird, 3 starlings, 12 sparrows and zero song thrushes - evidence of starlings nesting - one of the cheeky things attacked the irises that are shooting up and stole a leaf!
• [STRIKE]Take nice neighbour to Argos to pick up stuff too big for her car but which will fit in mine[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Post ebay parcel[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Washing[/STRIKE] I carefully put it on the line, the sun was shining and it was almost dry when I went to Tesco. But, whilst there, the heavens opened and it's all damp again :mad:
• Bedroom
• Put more stuff on ebay
• [STRIKE]Tesco[/STRIKE]

Oooh, I've just checked my Paypal account and it was flush so I've drawn another £100 down to my bank account. Once that's cleared, I'll add it to the savings account so that will be nearly £800 I've saved in 3 months just through ebaying stuff lying around and being scrupulous about bogofs etc. I'm pleased

Once it reaches the £1000.00, I think I'll use it to pay a lump sum off the mortgage.

Hi everyone

Many thanks for hugs, advice or just "don't knows".

Happy birthday to embb and Nicky's DD.

GF arrived on doorstep at 10.00 this am, distraught. Parents didn;t know she was here and she was adamant she doesn't want to live there anymore. I called NSPCC who had put forward my original contact as they felt there were Child Protection issues, they said she may be taken into care & I would need to make that clear. SS said no way would that happen & person I spoke to was not v helpful at all, even tho I said I would be concerned to make her go back in case she ran again & didn't come to me! She just said she would pass it on to Day Services to deal with on Monday.

Anyway, I called parents & went round for chat, persuaded them to let her stay for a couple of days & I'd also get her to call. (which she has just done) I've made it clear to her that her Mum has the law behind her at the moment, so she will need to go along with her & try to keep the peace. She's v concerned about them moving back from whence they came as she was v unhappy there, but I said the house is not yet on market, we're in a recessive period, so it may not go v quickly & she will be 16 in November at which time she can make her own decisions, whether that be to stay with parents, go to another family member or come here. I've said that my door will always be open to her.

DH just called as he has finished climbing for the day, he knew nothing about this, but said he's behind me 100% which is great. He knows all of what has been going on with the family, so is as concerned as I am. Now, I juts have to re-arrange the house so that the study becomes a bedroom again - just in case!

Thanks again for emotional support - I didn't sleep at all well last night, but have done some flying today.

Dailies as always, washing on line, bedrooms, study, landing and lounge dusted. One black bag for charity (collecting on Tuesday) cardboard taken to tip, shopping ordered on line, writing bureau cupboard cleared out. Advert placed with adtrader.

It's been a lovely day, but it looks like we're in for snow, sleet and GKW, just as my friends come from Scotland for a visit!
