Weekly Flylady Thread 9th June 2008

DD has been to Brownies and come back with work to do her writers badge :rolleyes: AND a question for her to answer ready for their trip to a fire station on 1st July (Wondering if they need any more adult supervisers....for the kids safety of course ) which I assume is towards her firefighter badge :rolleyes: Just printed out the list of badges and just based on what DD already knows and likes doing she should be able to do 18 of them without any problems :eek:

Popped to Asda while DD was out and spent £19 £8 of that was on more suncream though and £4 on a big bag of teabags The rest was mainly fruit so healthy living is not cheap :rolleyes:

Made a list of everything in the freezer/fridge/cupboard and now I'm just trying to come up with a menu plan - I may be some time as there is loads. :o

Just debating now whether to go to bed at 9pm or stay up and watch Love Actually Oh well, I'm off to complete the list a bit more :wave:

Evening everyone!
Big hugs for anyone who needs them or anyone that just fancies a hug!;)

Just arrived home from work and am eating my dinner.
I did manage to do all the dailies before I left the house this morning

• 2 loads of washing - one hanging on the line before I left
• cauliflower and potato cheese made so mum can feed the little ones later with that and sausages.
• Unloaded DW this morning and have just reloaded and set it off

have done a few things since I came in including putting away the washing I did yesterday and draining a large glass of red wine
I'm now off to make mine, dh and dd's packed lunches for tomorrow and make sure there are school clothes out for dd and ds.
I have changed the way I do things in the morning - I've been getting up 15 minutes earlier and aiming to be out of the door taking the littlies to school/playtschool 15 minutes earlier. Obviously this doesn't happen but if I aim for 15 mins earlier and don't quite make it I'm not dragging them down the street screaming like a harpie out of a lunatic assylum that we're going to be late!! Does that make sense? Perhaps I have escaped from somewhere

Bye for now
Hope

SSL it's done by appointment, my parents divorce came through last year well before they'd even had a viewing. They live in a nice area but there is also a lot on the market where they live.
lizzie I know what you mean we had to get another wardrobe/drawers
soappie we'e all allowed to be grumpy sometimes!
Solway that dress is lovely!!
I'm the oppposite to Dusty, in 3 and a half years of driving I've reversed into somewhere once.

Highlights in, will take a little getting used to again, little trim to tidy up so that was a nice 2 hours to myself (even if I kept thinking what I could be doing at home) £21.50 was all it cost so I'm going to get it done every 6-8 weeks hopefully, keep on top of it as I feel loads better for it, however daft that seems, maybe it's just the making time for me that makes me feel better.

Anyway this evening I got out of going with DP because I needed to do other stuff, I've tried to take the boys for a hair cut but there was a massive queue and they were closing after the last customer inside the shop, will have to try again on Thursday. I went shopping, Lidl and Sainsburys, got some bits and pieces we needed and a new ladyshave (seeing as DPs lost mine!) Got a few things for the weekend, need to do a proper list of what we need including food etc. Picked up the throws from Mam, perfect, so that is now a cover sorted for all the cushions.

Have done a small amount of studying since I got back, will do some more after I have checked through emails etc. CMA is due in tomorrow so need to get some more of the questions answered. Then go back to the overdue TMA....I've made the pack ups and got the uniforms ready so I've not got to worry about that later.

Kaz - We are about 20/30 mins from Ely depending how many tractors you get stuck behind:p . I love Ely, its got such a nice feel to it.

I'm about 40 - 45 mins away in the kings lynn direction (as in kings lynn )
its a shame you work weekends and I get them off or we could have a flylady mini-meet :rotfl:

Well all I have managed to do tonight is have a bit of a ding dong with OH before he went to work, of course its all my fault and not his, even tho he hasnt been to bed since sat night now and has only cat napped on the sofa sio is tired as ****. Have managed to get tea cooked and eaten, DD showered and into bed (with a chapter of her story tonight!!) and now I cant be bothered to do anything else. Will have to clean the kitchen up and make lunches for tomorrow but thats it.

DS has his last exams tomorrow so wish him luck, cos he'll need it if he's at home over the next few weeks with OH (his stepdad) as they'll be at each others throats time I get in from work.

Ok surf for half hour then kitchen for half hour then tv for an hour and bed me thinks

i am not even going to look for my list as i am trying to cram dinner down my neck before a feed then i think it is bedtime as i didn't get my nap today.

the only bit i had managed to make nice was the bathroom, and at bathtime DS1 wee'd on the bathroom mat again - it was down for less than 6 hours. Nice while it lasted. Best wash that again tomorrow.

My hayfever has suddenly started as well - Sunday for me when everyone and their dog cut the grass.

It's going to be a planned busy day tomorrow. I said to my sister i would go to playgroup, so that is 9-11 taken care of, and nephews birthday party is 5-7. My sister was also wanting me to go into town shopping with her, but i think that may just tip me over the edge trying to be out the house that long. DS1 would miss having a nap, and it would spoil the party.

Anyway, going off to sort myself out a bit, and will see you all at some stage i daresay tomorrow.

Michelle, x

I'm doing an IT Practitioner Btec Diploma and then I'll take it from there, just coming to the end of an ECDL course which has gone really well, very proud of myself. Have had between 94-100%:j on all the tests which was a great boost for the litlle ego :cool:

Kaz good luck to your son, sounds like your partner isn't doing himself any favours by not sleeping.

It takes me all my time to manage to get out of the door in a morning!!
