Weekly Flylady Thread 4th September 2017

Good morning everyone,

Sorry I didn't get round to posting yesterday. It was a full on day at work, school not back until tomorrow, and generally just one of those days. I spent the entire evening in the company of the laptop trying to wade through the mound of paperwork that has accumulated. Some of it budged but the pile is still there.

Today DD wants to go out (again??!) for the day. I was banking on her natural inherited laziness winning the day but her alarm clock has just gone off. Ho hum. And has she tried on her school trousers despite the nagging and the fact that she has clearly grown???

Lots of ((hugs)) to Natty. Mrs MP - I don't know how you do it. Well done on surviving to all those returning to difficult work situations.

ATB - I think there is a lot of the end of summer cold going around. People at work were definitely sniffling and DD was showing signs last night. Snuggle yourself back on that sofa x

Valli - I now have Ballroom Blitz on repeat in my head....:rotfl:

it's only an issue in pregnancy if they havent had chickenpox already.. and weeks 13-20 where there is a small risk of miscarriage.. it is more dangerous if the rash is on the face as it can cause blindness if it gets to the optical nerve.
Chickenpox is horrid to have as an adult.. my uncle had it at 40 and was very very ill for about a month and off work for 3 months!

DH had chickenpox as an adult when our girls all had it together as little ones. (5, 3 & 6mths) he was terrible had them everywhere and really suffered with it. When the boys came along I made sure they got it as soon as poss by getting invited round to play with children who were suffering. Does that make me an evil mum?

Morning! We're home!

Didn't get in till gone midnight so littlies are still in bed. I'm up and showered, WM going (will have to dry indoors with this weather), fridge anti-bac'd in expectation of groceries arriving, and I thought I'd make a lovely coffee, pop 2 parrots for my head and check in with you lovely lot. Lists are appreciated, however I might be doing my own thing this week!

Sorry to hear your news natty xx
Counting down with you froddy xx
Get well vibes to all poorlies and hugs to everyone in need, oh and uniform finding vibes too

We are not back to school till tomorrow although I need to pop down to college this aft to sort enrolment, and we need to go collect the furries from their holiday too. We'll keep them in the conservatory today, I think, as the kiddies want to be around them. And it's too wet for grass time.

I fed the lawn before we went away and it's gone rampant :T I think the grass has started to overtake the clover, so I'm going to get another bottle of 3vergreen and do it again in a week or too, just to finish it off, it looks very lush, but needs a cut when it's dry.

DD was 7 yesterday, we had chocolate gateau at my dads place in Spain, with candles stuck right into it as I didn't bring the little plastic picks, lol. Ah well, she was happy to blow them out and she has a couple of cards and gifts here too, when she wakes.

Was lovely to get in our own beds

Huge hugs Natty. Really sorry.

Mrsmoneypenny I hope everything goes to plan this week. It sounds like you have it all in hand.

Valli and Froddington and any more teachers here. I do think of you. It makes me appreciate my early retirement every September when all the teachers go back to school. I won't say back to work because I know you have been working during the holiday too. You have my admiration because it is not an easy job. I miss it and the kids but not enough to go back 😊 Best of luck for the new term.

One appointment decluttered this week. It was a long time out of the house but Mr P was there bonding with puppy over Countdown etc. 6 hours before I was back home!

Today is just one hour appointment , one hour away. Hoping Mr P will do an 4ldi shop while I am in my session.

BT are definitely going to phone me at 9am today about our telephone line. Nothing. No phone call. It is probably time for OFCOM. 2 and a half years with the same problem! Every time it rains the internet goes off and the phone line is so bad we can't make or hear calls.

Bathroom blitz....

Are you ready Steve?. Uh uh, Andy? Yeah Mick? Okay alright fellas...

Let's goooooooo

Thank you for that, brightened me up.:D

When I get back from work tonight, I will be on the half marathon "make flat respectable for landlord inspection" because I made the fatal error of trying to declutter at the same time. That'll learn me.

Coffees, spare spoons and sticks for black dogs over there, help yourselves....
