Weekly Flylady Thread 23rd June 2008

Thank god the sudocrem was mainly on the changing mat he was sat on, the laminate floor, and a small patch on the floor. The :eek: moment was when he got scared when i tried to take his trousers off to stop it going further, and he tried to crawl off across the rug - that would have been bad. Everyone i have told has laughed - i suppose i would have too if it wasn't me cleaning it up. :rolleyes:


The Jovi pictures are good. Apparently my bro was at the coventry concert with his girlfriend. He's only 17 and has a better social life than i did at that age, but then again he earns at least £60 every week as well as EMA money, so i don't blame him for doing stuff while he can.

The beach party was really good. I am seriously thinking of switching ds1 to that nursery as it was really small, and the kids had a lot more freedom, such as a water fountain to drink from when they want, paint station always set up, door to the outside play area left open so they can go out when they want. It hasn't been open that long so it isn't full and only holds 24 kids compared to 60 at DS1s nursery. Plus it is in our village so he would know some kids before school. The other advantage is i normally have to hang around at work for a couple of hours and not work productively until after tea time, when i could come home, do my work and some housework in peace before picking them up. Something to think about anyway.

DH has gone back out to work so i have the boys to myself for now and he will be knackered for the weekend as he will still go in for 9am tomorrow and work till 6.

I'm about to feed ds2 again, and then bed i think. Tomorrow is playgroup, then i need to pop in the bank to sign something they forgot to give me on Tuesday :mad: and probably more reactive cleaning.


I have read all the thread, so well dones, and congrats and hugs all round. Too tired to type more. Will try and be around a bit more tomorrow if the boys are compliant.

Michelle, x

juliejim praying for some sunshine for you, well done to your DS
sinderellla I'm with soappie, start them young!
Mudbath one is in primary school but year 4, so he's a junior now. My baby is in year 2 but his schools on 2 completely seperate sites for juniors/infants, about 10-15 minute walk between them (juniors is closer to home ) It's one of the VERY few schools still like that up here, so much so I didn't know he needed to register seperately and nearly didn't get a place
Michelle, could you maybe send DS1 there for a day or so see if he likes it better while you are off work? Just an idea. Only thing I think I'd be concerned about is if you want them at the same nursery when DS2s older, would they have a space?

Well the school seems absolutely great, they have an excellent reputation for dealing with children with special needs (several moved into the area for that reason) they have set up additional visits etc for DS2 without even a nudge from me, so nice not having to be in school nagging about stuff, they use visual queues he works best with as standard anyway so no nagging needed for that either (same as his infants school) I was sat thinking at the meeting 'what if landlady ends our contract at the end of September?' but got home and discussed it with DP. If she does, apart from I'll be furious as we agreed to pay the whopping moving in fees because it was a very long term thing and maybe even take her to court if she does, the agents will back me up, they already said that, we'll try and get somewhere as close to here as possible. DS2s improvements at school are a good enough reason for me to do so, he is coming along brilliantly since moving here. That aside and discussed I'll now order his uniform, was another concern if we ended up moving by September, he wants his initials on his this time.

Been very tired tonight after dashing from DS2s school to swimming then dinner then remembered I'd left my bag at the pool so drove back through to the organisers house, I think it was 9.15pm when I finally sat down. I've placed an ad for DPs old car on preloved, I need to find some more free sites to advertise on before I even consider paying to advertise it. Just been looking at my courses, next TMAs are due 16th July BOTH of them, argh! Back to studying full belt tomorrow as I've not even done 1/3 of the reading for them.

wow - great pics!! **sigh**

Welcome newbies - sinderella - you don't have to go by PPs list - I quite often am off on my own little list, just like I'm often off in my own little world LOL

Have slacked yesterday and today. Had some ME time instead of house time.

Finally went back to Curves and also went back to weight watchers last night. Budget belt needs to be pulled in a bit tighter, but I hope I'll find a way.

Morning all

Grey and dark here this morning but really humid. It was strange getting up this morning to curtains in the living room when there have been none for over a month.

I can't decide what to do for food for tomorrow when the family come down. The forecast is OKish for a barbecue but you never know...Maybe I ought to make a couple of 'indoor' dishes just in case (coronation chicken or something).

Have a meeting in town this morning and will go straight to Mr T's afterwards for the big shop. Then I'll do the bathroom and utility area then one last hoover throughout and I'm ready for the hoardes.

Right, off to jump in the bath.

*JoJo*

Morning Everyone

Woken up to a totally blue sky; lets hope it stays that way! Want to get quite a few things done today. Got to do the weekly food shop this morning. DH is working from home today, so he will have the children while I shop. Its so much quicker when I am on my own. We are then off to look at cars. I need my own car ready for when the school runs start in September; fingers crossed we will find something we like. I also need to...

1) drop repeat prescriptions into Doctor

2) put charity bag out for collection

3) go to library with the children so they can choose new books

4) find out about "Bookstart" packs for both children

5) take top and watch back to M & S

6) get DH to mend blind in our bedroom

7) change appointment for DS next week

8) all my dailies

Have a great day everyone and an even better weekend! Will pop back later or over the weekend x

It's a s*d to clean up. Even washing it off hands is difficult, so lucky it wasn't on the carpet :eek:
