Weekly Flylady Thread 2nd June 2008

Hey all I'm in this week, well of my own little fashion lol!

PinkFairy - knitting has stalled at the mo, i've lost my counter book! but am hoping to knit some squares in the meantime! And I will take care and not overdo it, i promise;)

Yesterday was a great day. Did no flying:mad: but did have a lovely bbq at hubby's "new" work. (he is on temp assignment to the barracks round the corner, it's great cos he can help with school runs:D ). Only problem being mummy being the only one to forget suncream. Kids were covered in it and were fine but I ended up with sunburn all over my chest, back and shoulders! I know its self inflicted:rolleyes: !

ANyhow, hubby decided that he would try me with "his" rota, so am going to try and stick to it. Although today have been naughty. Dropped DD2 off at school, did WM, TD and DW, then my best friend came round, and did nothing but drink coffee and chat, then picked up DD2, went to supermarket for DH came home and came on here! and have just taken 20 minutes break in typing to get DD1 off the school bus!

Bonus!!! have just found myknitting counter book!!! my vest-top will maybe get finished before the end of summer.

Oh god Alvin is on the TV again - starting to understand him!!!:p

thanks johanne for taking time to share what you are doing. it's really hard to know what to do for the best isn't it. i struggled on with charlie for weeks without saying anything, and ended up really down. this time i know i need to look after myself too. i'm glad its not just me who finds it impossible to keep up with a baby's appetite.:D

i also have had baby on knee all day. that's probably why ds1 is playing up.

and the asda milk - if it is the cravendale they are 2litre bottles not 4 pint ones, so still a good deal but not as good as it looks.


washing up done. i also paid DH's cc bill. I'm hoping i have another hour till ds1 wakes up. might try putting ds2 down again. will probably just slob on here a bit longer.

Michelle, x

Aftetnoon all

Took DS3 bowling which he enjoyed and also walked my wheelbarrow full of asters from the garden round to a friend for her garden - my shoulders sure have had a work out.

Raining here now so washing finishing on the maiden.
Soup in the AGA.
Kitchen was s&S.

Just having a cuppa then I'm going to spend 30 minutes finding the floor in the study!

Hubby has gone off to his aunts funeral and I am home alone with this lot until he gets back which I have no idea when that will be.. I am the verge of a breakdown already lol.

I went to buy some hay and the guy in the shop asked if our TV broke.. I said no but we only watch p0rn lol.. or we use it to keep the children quiet while we go dance lol.. Soon shut him up.. the woman who works there was in stitches..

Best go chuck the corned dog in the SC or else food won't be ready in time for eating.. poop.. I need bread too ..

pigpen I would like to try to join in again this week. I still haven't picked up from last week. I feel really awful but I have managed to get DS3 to put some washing in the machine and DD is making dinner for tonight. I was pleased when I saw the bathroom list for today. I think I will go in after the doctors and vets visit and clean it with some bubbles whilst I am in there.

I loved reading about your caravans. We had one from when DD was 5 weeks old and all my babes (except DS3) slept through the night the first time we took them away in the caravan. We used to go away for the full six weeks holiday! We sold it about three years ago as kids were losing interest in big family holidays. I miss it but a neighbour has offered me her little one so may give it a go with just DH and me.

Hi solway, glad to see you are back

Dustykitten

Right long enough tea break I think best go do something!

I'm in again this week, but it's half term so I will only be able to make flying visits on here (no pun intended) as the children will probably be on the computer most of the week.

I haven't managed today's list as we've been out and about. DH is off today but back in work tomorrow. Off again on Friday though as it's a public holiday here. I'll try and do the whole lot on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so I can have Friday off. It's my birthday on Friday anyway so I don't see why I should have to rush around after other people! DD1 has said she will make me a birthday cake. :eek: Normally if I want one I have to make my own. :rolleyes:

Yay! That list looks good! Ok, I admit we've not got a study or PC desk so crossed through those anyway and I did do the HHI last night but I'm still counting it!

We're on macaroni cheese for tea - managed to get 4 pts of cheap milk from work so made lots of custard for rhubarb crumble that I had in the freezer and made a big pan full of cheese & spinach sauce - kept some aside for tea tonight and froze the rest. All this whilst cooking spag bol (meat and a veggie one) and helping DD1 with painting her salt dough. Felt like a bit of a domestic goddess yesterday!lol Shame can't be said for today when you see the state of the lounge.:rotfl:

DH still not been paid:eek: :eek: :eek: so we'll definately be getting bank charges. Hope it goes in tomorrow but DH thinks more likely Wednesday. I hate getting charges:eek: :eek: :eek: Suppose its only going to get worse when DH's job finishes in July. He's been trying for a while to get another job but no such luck yet. Sorry to end on a depressive note, AF due so all hormonal again (poor DH!!!).
