Weekly Flylady Thread 14th April 2008

Michelle - have you seen Annabel K's range in Sainsburys? Quite a range of stuff and at least you can give him something quick and guilt-free. I sometimes get the fish pie's, they're about £2+ (ouch) but currently 4 for 3 and they just go in the microwave. I keep some in the freezer for days when I can't be bothered or I don't have time. I'm still doing huge batches of cottage pie, bologense, stew, etc we'll have some for tea and then I can get at least 6 portions out of the rest for the freezer. Oh and the nappies - so know where you coming from and I'm not pregnant and we've found out raisons were the cause of our messy nappies so I'm avoiding them now at all costs!

Johanne - hows OH, any news yet?

Hes walking round like a zombie and has been since 8:30am when his friend rang him drunk... they were still drinking at someones house! :shocked: He feels sick but hasnt got a headache... shame really cos i would have relished hoovering or something equally noisy! :rotfl:

Baby is still not wanting to come out... but i feel sooo rough!! Cant get the energy to do anything, belly aches a little and i feel sick... so hoping its a sign shes on the way..

Lil_me and chunky, glad your both ok in your own ways.

Pigpen, sounds like an interesting night!

Michelle, does he always eat that much or is it a sudden change? I notice my boys eat like gannets and tehn suddenly stretch and inch or two. Plus tehy are both big breakfast eaters. Breakfast is there largest meal of the day!

Well done Vanillas DD!! :j

Serena, hope you and DD have a great time today!

It's DS2's birthday here. Gave him his little present, a power ranger phone. He loves it! DH finishes at 6pm tonight so will make a nice dinner blow up baloons etc and have a party at 6.30pm, just us and give him his big present.

Allready had another DS2 caused drama! My kitchen/livingroom door has no lock bit on the handle. It broke ages ago and we never got around to replacing it. So DS2 shoved a pair of nail clippers, which he stole out my bag, into it. and pulled the door shut.

3 !!!!!!! hours it took me! Running around the back of the houses to get in my back door, then running back to jiggle this bit, jiggle that bit, hammer this bit, shove a scredriver into that bit! I was in a right panic! Oh no I'm going to have to get someone to kick this door down and my kitchen is a mess! :eek:


All over now though, dishes and kitchen done floor hoovered and lunch on. Oh and a huge pot of coffee made! :rotfl:

Hiya all

I've started my mad weekend clean today. just done hhc in the living room, hoovered everything including under the furniture. OH is in bed watching stuff on his laptop, so I'll leave him there and start on the bathroom next. I'm not doing the kitchen - it looks like a bomb's gone off, and he can do it later!

Anyway, I'm doing HHC at 1.30...anyone else in?
