I'm still lurking,but struggling to achieve even the most basic level of FLYing. I'm not doing lists for a while, my aim today is to get all the washing put away. I keep washing and drying stuff and pilin it up but not folding neaty or ptting it away.
1St lodad of washing is o the line, nappies inthe machine. Dry stuff from every other day this week is piled up on dd1s bed, for m to sort, fold and put away.... I'll try and report back in a bit.
DH announced last night that he is going to South Africa next week with work, out on Monday back on Friday that basically means more ironing for me but at least I get a quite week without him nagging

Jas I stopped making lists when I got too competative with myself. I'm glad I have a bedtime routine but everything else is as it happens really now. EHM Thanks for the thread lovely RR Great party idea Waves to ScattyDameBabyFGSTHM and Jellyshoes
My 1st sit down of the day. I did the morning routine, spent an good hour chatting with Ed's teacher and mentor about his progress (seems fine and gross motor skills are an issue but he's A1 academically) then FIL took me to B&Q. Got a bale of compost, some lavenders, a margurite, seeds, pots and one of those herb pots with holes for each herb (or I might put Ed's trailing cherry toms in them)
Made banana tea bread but... I burnt it. I did it to the recipie so...I don't know
Well did morning stuff except bathroom and kitchen was better, just made cookies so needs tidying again now
Been to midwife baby still not staying the right way around, if any of you are interested in my bumps progress since the last pics here my plan to have my house sorted before baby arrived is not working, oh well.
Lovely sunny day here too, so RR I am with you on the sun front. Scattygood luck with the lists babyhope all goes well at hospital TMH I disagree you didn't look like shite when I met you. Dame pictures are fab! There are very few of me when I was pg 1 that springs to mind is of me & my bump & big knickers..nice! <<<<WAVES>>>> madly at jas* *jelly HI FGS how are your dd's now? Grouchy sorry to sound very dim but what are gross motor skills?
Ellie is having a very late nap, much needed. Tea is on & i am catching
Sorry haven't caught up with the thread. I have been rushed off my feet the last couple of days! Dh forgave me for yesterday...I made it up to him!
I had my nails done yesterday afternoon...took 2 and a half hours! (All ready for the May Ball on Friday night [excited, excited emoticon!])
Have been busy collecting my Avon brochues....nightmare...the amount of people who keep saying "oooh I haven't had a chance to look at it yet" or just forgetting to bring it with them to school etc. It is going to take me forever!
Well I hope you have all had the lovely sun! It has been glorious here. I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
Righto...better get on and do supper...spag bol tonight.
Jas I have the same problem with laundry (it just piles up). The trouble with line drying is the ironing!
Luda you sound glam today .
Ruby party sounds good.
I've booked a soft play room at leisure centre for DS (5). We can invite 25 kids (the whole class)! Do you think I'll get away with giving them a balloon instead of party bag (can't manage 25 party bags)? This is our first party so a bit unsure.
luda how exciting a May Ball @ you making it up to dh scatty we where at a 3rd birthday party at a local softplay centre a couple of weeks ago. All ellie was interested in was a ballon attached to the party bag. All I was interested in was the slice of birthday cake within party bag. I agree with TMH kids shouldn't expect anything when they go to a party. The mum who had the party is very easy going & not materialistic she was horrified to hear from some of the other mums that they expect, not the child a min of £10 worth of stuff in the bag I was outraged too This particular group mum had said to her well if we are spending at least £10 on a present thats what we expect! I would prefer that they didn't give a present if that was their attitude. I certainly don't expect people to buy ellie birthday presents party or no party. sorry for the ramble
I'm glad you agree. I have npthing against pary bags as such (except paying for them LOL).
Zero flying done. Took DS to football after school, except he didn't want to join in. Then after tea he wanted me to play football with him and kicked 3 balls over the fence! Our garden is too small for proper football. Now he wants to try the football club again . I think he's got to the age when he wants a bit more than I can offer, but is still anxious about joining in things.
Balloon is great idea. For DDs birthday I had party bags with a whistle and piece of cake in. Kids were happy. Parents all told me they would get revenge
I am back from shopping and it is all popped away.
DH put the boys to bed and sorted their clothes etc for the morning.
He also tidied the conservatory and made me a cup of tea
So dinner is in the oven and then thats it for me.
Busy day tomorrow again
Taking the boys and my neice out to the park for the morning and to MacDs for lunch, picking up mum, droping neice home, then mum and DS2 to my house, DS1 to Preschool and me to the post office.
I would also like to go to the garden centre for some pea seeds and some other bits, then mum home and trip to Aldi with the boys for all our veg and stuff that I get from there.
hi all having a mad FLY round at the mo. spent all morning in library revising, picked dd up after she'd had her lunch popped to town to run some errands, then picked ds from school we took a picnic to the park straight from school, was enjoying it so much we didnt get back til almost 7 we were having such a lovely time we'd have been there later as i didnt have my watch on so didnt know the time until another mum said something. so have got in showered the dc and put dd to bed. ds is off in a bit have cleaned the kitchen, done all the dishes. breakfast ones wre still in the sink have now tidyed the living room folded dry washing and put on a load to wash. am now watching child of our time
Scatty a balloon for the children is plenty thats all they usually want- oh and whistles always go down well as someone else mentioned earluer
Evening all. Busy day today. Went to toddlers this morn. Then went to the park with friends for a picnic. Came home, walked Mickey then off on school run. DS2 had a club until 4 so i took DS1 to have a hair cut. Went to pick DS2 up and he got asked to a friends for tea!
Came home, made tea then cut the lawn. DD's went to bed a bit later than norm, they were having fun outside.
My bath is running, house is a tip, And i am going to go to bed soon!
Whistles and playdoh.....nightmare party bag treats! Whistles in the car all the way home making your ears bleed, and playdoh all over the back seat by the time you get them out.
I usually go for a balloon, piece of cake, and a small notebook/pencil type thing....yo-yo's went down well one year (and up )
hehe didnt say they went down with parents they are my revenge after a house full of children for a couple of hours scatty can usually pick up packs of cheap whistles in wilkos, shouldnt work out too expensive
just been chatting to a friend we off to the local strand for a picnic tomorrow with our youngest dc whilst the big ones are in school. will be good as there is so much to do there- i predict no FLYing again tomorrow in my house
I hsve no idea what colou my hair is...I top it up randomly with the brightest reds I can find, but when I find a good one I always forgeet what it was/the shopstops stocking it!
I'm naturally mousy brown too....but my last dye was quite dark...my roots are showing now, so I might have a look tomorrow for something. Even if it just made me a little lighter/redder...
This lovely weather, just what the doctor ordered. I did over do things out in the garden yesterday though. I cut the lawns. I could use the mower as a sort walking aid. It was great to be able to cut the grass. The problem I got was last night. My arms were killing me. They really hurt to move and really ached when I kept them still. I could not win. I could not even use my lappy. I really wanted to post a message last night to say how happy I was with cutting the grass.
We went to the park after school today as well. Not much flying done here today. We were enjoying the sunny weather too much to be indoors flying.
£10 for a party bag I thought party bags came about for taking a piece of birthday cake home, then a few little goodies started being added. But to get £10 worth of party bag at a normal child's birthday is taking the P!$$ TBH
For the DSs party we did party bags. They had A piece of birthday cake. A small note book and pen. I big balloon, A small bag of jelly sweets and a little hand made card (DSs made them)saying thank-you for coming to DS1 and DS2 party. We hope you had a fun time. I got the bits from Tesco. Cheap in there are a few party bag fillers and there are lots to chose.
Tort you said you are off to bed soon. I`m in bed already
I seen a MN tip the other day saying to put your PJs on before logging into MN, As it is easier to get in to bed after you have been on MN too long. My tip would be.............. "Get a lappy then you can be in bed and still be on MN"
I`m not staying logged in to long tonight though. We are off to the shops. I need to get some summer clothes for me. All mine are too small. I have put too much weight on. Though I dont eat a lot, Its been all this not being able to move very much. Oh well I need some new (different) clothes.
oh glad u r all doing more flying than me i went to asda on the way back from hospital but it was real hard pushing the buggy loaded up in the heat so was shattered when i got back haven't really done much else unpacked the car but still haven't put it away it sitting in the garden ontop of the buggy lol loads of it and i can't be bothered to put it all away but b4 i go to bed i need to wrap to parcels for courier tomorrow and put at least sum of the stuff away out side gonna hag the nappies out on the line and sort out the buggys cos somehow i have got 4 buggies lying around the house lol so hope fully more flying will get done tomorrow lol
Just had my bath. As usual not getting to bed very early! My tooth hurts. I KNOW i NEED to go to the dentist! Tomorrow would be a good day with DD2 at pre-school all day but that will waste my tidying time! Wanted to get so much done this week but haven't got very far!
. 
Got midwife later must remember to go!
