Usually very little etiquette on this thread:rotfl:

That's true....with pigpen in control anything goes!!! The only crucial bit of etiquette you need to always remember is to insult pigpen. It's great. Good luck with your flying today Lisa xx

Morning!

Well, dd2 seems to be a bit better today thank goodness. She's actually playing a bit today instead of just sitting on my knee the whole time. And she's not been sick since yesterday afternoon (she got me big time - all over my shoulder, back, down my front, down the inside of my jumper, down the inside of my top and all over my bra. Lovely!) DD1 still not too good though - she's got a temperature still and a sore throat but she's not too bad.

Managed to put the recycling out, empty the DW and load the TD. Think I'll just be doing dailies rather than fully flying again today. Did manage to do a bit of ironing yesterday when my my mum was here though so no ironing to do at all today!!! YAY!!:j Got loads of towels to go in the TD though - dd2's thrown up on that many - at least they won't need ironing though.

Tia - can't believe your ds got into the TD - I was always concerned about the cat going in - didn't even consider the kids!
Johanne - thinking of you and your OH today - hope all goes as well as can be expected.

Time to deposit dd2 in bed I think - may even coax dd1 upstairs too so I can have a lie down - knacked from kids both being sick and working late last night - working tonight too so need a nap if I don't want to be a zombie tonight! See you all later.

ETA: welcome mrsmortenharket its surprising how much quicker it gets as you get more organised!

Morning All

I'm back.


Johanne hope all goes as well as it can today

Mrsmortanharket-welcome and love your avatar

Well arrived home on Wednesday to find out that my nan was still in hospital and had found on that she had liver cancer. We went to see her yesterday and she wasn't really awake and was in a semi coma (doctors words not mine) and sadly she died at 7am this morning.

My poor dad only cam e back from holiday on Wednesday too so m glad that he got to see his mum before she died.

Hope that all of you are alright, think I may try to get back on the flying wagon next week although I have managed to do most of the washing from the holiday

mumofjusttwo sorry to hear about your nan. It's a rough old time at the minute isn't it.

mudbath go you - just shows how much quicker you get when you are a frequent flyer - your time off work certainly made you very productive.

mrsmortenharket welcome to flylady - anything goes, as long as you are doing something.


Ahhhh, you are all so mean to Pigpen. All she does is try to help us out, and you lot do nothing but pick on her.

I have been mega productive. My ironing pile has gone :beer: (until i empty the airers again, i have assembled the moses basket and it looks beautiful, although when i tried it in our new room there was less than half a foot gap between the moses basket and our new wardrobe. We might have to lose the bedside table on DH's side for a couple of months, or put up with climbing over each other all the time. No real biggie. Put DS a duvet on his cot for the 1st time. We bought a childrens duvet, but it is so big i had to fold it in half to fit it in the duvet cover that fits the cot. Now it will probably be too warm, but i will trial it anyway, and buy a bigger duvet set when he goes in the other room in the summer.


just had a cuppa and a catch up, brought the bins in. I am going to empty the hoover, and then take that plus a bucket upstairs and start to tackle the bathroom. I am going to have a gleaming house by tonight (providing my back doesn't start to ache - not hurting so far) That should take me to lunchtime, and then i will see what i feel like getting up to this afternoon, but believe me, it will not be that strenuous if i can help it. I want to conserve some energy for doing the bedtime routine by myself, and my pampering session.

Michelle, x

pigpen

Nicki.. there is only one way to have music.. LOUD!!!! I have Galaxy blasting the nursery childrens out the back lol.. I had it on so loud a few times the children were dancing!!! lol.. good job I have an empty house one side and a house full of Polish guys the other who are at work all day.. so I can pretty much do as I please!

Johanne.. when you get back.. ((((hugs)))) .. you can focus on the baby better now. I always think the worst time are the days up to the funeral.. afterwards things are more 'normal'.. look after yourself sweetheart!

Tia.. *KICK*.. don't say I never give you anything!!

Mudbath.. *slap*.. you too.. you can't insult me.. you can only illuminate your own imperfections by trying to make me look bad

*sniffs and snuffles and goes to Michelle for a hug*

....

And don't say I never do anything.. I just turned my keyboard upside down and whacked all the bits out of it.. my keys all work now and I don't have a piece of hay between the 'b', 'n' and the spacebar! lol

Hubby is in a right tizz lol.. he is out tonight with some guys from work.. so I said I'll go out on my own.. apparently it isn't 'safe' for me to go out on my own (or any woman apparently) and 'things' happen before you even realise.. ooooo-kay... Like anyone is the right mind would try to pick a fight with me!.. lol.. I feel so oppressed at times.. but don't you just love double standards?? So.. I'll go out on my own just because I can and because it'll pi$$ him off.. I've got no money.. but a couple of glasses of lemonade aren't expensive.
