Evening all

I've spent hours catching up on last weeks thread!! I got caught up with Mum and Dads central heating nightmare. Oh, and surfing for a holiday at the beginning of May

G&B - have the zoo got baby polar bears? DD was talking about it. We must fit a trip in. Either that or Blair Drummond. Or maybe Chester Zoo. Oh decisions, decisions

I'll be a busy flylady for half the week. I'm off to Liverpool on Thursday, for Ladies Day at Aintree on Friday. Yay!! BF is away down the road with my outfit. I just need to buy shoes. This is my hat

aarrghhh haven't been to bed yet, just as well as LO keeps waking up wailing and I keep having to sort her out. Might be calpol next time. Off to bed for sure now though
night night

Dusty - blimey hope DS3 eye ok

arwenelf - not selfpitying (((hugs))) we all have days when it all seems to much. Either sod the flying or if the thought of that stresses you even more just pick one or two things a day. Or just leave it all to the weekend and spend a couple of intense hours. I have a 4yo at school fulltime (yay) and a 3 yo 4 mornings a week at preschool, the rest of the time she is at home, and then I have a 6 month old as well. Its ok at the moment, I can just about stay in toip of it but I know as soon as she is mobile all h3ll will break loose and I am going to have to have a rethink about what I can achieve. People keep telling me to sod the flying but its really hard when you just want your house to look nice, They are right though, you cant do it all so you musnt stress over it. Good luck on your course that sounds like a nice change from nappies and double babbling :T

Morning all.

Lovely hat Skintscot!

:cool: ORF ops - buster is awake and should be accessible :cool:

Right, off to work shortly. Not looking forward to the journey. There are signs up saying roadworks start today for 4 months on a stretch of my journey where there is little alternative route except to detour by 10 miles :eek: I shall have to suck it and see - I might shift my working pattern to starting really early and leaving early to avoid the jams.

Will look at the kitchen fly list this evening. Off to make my sandwiches and then hit the road.

Have a good one ladies

Morning All

Promised to take the kids somewhere on the train today - thinking of Chester - unless anyone wants visitors for the day?;)

We'll have to catch the bus to the station though as my car's in the garage - hoping to persuade my dad to pick us up when we get back though!

Other than that, may do some flying this morning and finish when we get back seeing as DH isn't here.

Hope everyone has a good day

Extras

• Clean oven/hob if you must.. *rolls eyes*
  
• HHI ..
• Clean windows
• [STRIKE]treat the pets for fleas!!! This is prime time for them to be developing an infestation.. the last thing you need in your house! .. left on in case you were lazy like me and missed this![/STRIKE]
• Go play a game with the children who have helped you today!!

Childrens list.

1. Clear and wipe the table
2. [STRIKE]Load the dishwasher (DW) if you have one[/STRIKE] I wish
3. Can you fill the washing machine (WM) with things that are all the same colour and switch it on?? This is a very important thing to learn.. many big clever daddies struggle with this job.. even our daddy.. so if you can do this.. you are cleverer than him!
4. If you are a bigger little person could you wipe over the fronts of the kitchen cupboards and fridge/freezer/washing machine.. sometimes you need to check the insides too as they get a bit sticky..
