Hi Annabel

As the thread is getting quite long I've opened a second one so that's where you will find everyone. To get there, either click on the link I posted in the post immediately before yours or find the thread called Fledglinh flyers November part 2 (had migraine this morning hence bad spelling

Hope to see you over there later

Hello there,
Have been AWOL as put posting on mumsnet on bottom of list rather than top where it should be!
My target for today is to stop seeing what I have done as trivial against what needs to be done! Realised that as my little internal voice started saying 'it's not an impressive list, I just wrote down what I'd done and you should see the state of things.... blah, blah, blah!!!'
Enough psychobabble
Today:
up dressed etc
breakfast
painted with dd
did loo
to do:
make bed when ds wakes up (up in night - he doesn't naturally sleep til nine!
shopping centre (gulp!)
persuade dd not to see Father Christmas in early November at said shopping centre!
buy dd Xmas gift and knitting wool (to add to pile - but optimistic cos it'll be very chunky wool!)
load of washing on

make sandwiches to take to shopping centre to avoid "cafe" (our name for the golden arches!!
process washing
hoover
put away in loft clothes that ds has grown out of (no 3rd in prospect but can't let go just yet!)

By the way, dh has really come on board with all this. Had ridiculous moment over weekend where he had read instructions for shiny sink and done it and i had a slightly weepy thing where I said I was worried that not only was he able to hold down a job and be jolly with the children but he also was better at doing jobs and what was I good at!!!! Hmm, now very grateful for help and realise must not be all on my terms

optimistic lol at laundry on line. my record was two weeks. It dries, I forget, it gets wet etc!
pluto at least you are able to look at the ironing! with or without sighing
Right, dd calling - wants to make slide for her cake case people - don't ask but it's cleaner than paint!

Are you ready everyone - its time for part 2 over here

no rest for the wicked the saying goes. I must have done something truely terrible
Nope no chance for a rest or early night tonight.

Here's the list so far

Lesson plans for y8 remaining 8 of 11
lesson plans y7 done 6 of 6 Advance planning now needed.
key words y7
Risk assesments y8 - doing tomo.
Any other stupid bit of paper that i have forgotten. (evaluations, context analysis etc)
Laundry done 12 loads - washed, dried, folded, ironed, and away.
Play with ds. done
Cake made .

Also spent half an hour clearing out office (was looking for something)
And re-discovered the bathroom sink after ds helped me by cleaning it with toothpaste.

If you see me on here after midnight -kick my ass!

Hello all, hope you've all had a great weekend, as usual crazy busy here, always seems to be even crazier when DH is home. Not much done in the way of flying as I've spent all weekend working, but kitchen and dining room have now been cleaned and back to normal so that always gives me a feeling of satisfaction.

DH did really well with his list:-

He sorted out Sky box.
Plastered understairs cupboard and around living room door.
Tried to fit my car stereo, but thinks when thieves stole the old one they did something to the wiring because he can't get it to work.
Started fitting the tiles but when he'd got stuck into it went to cut the first tile and realised that the slates I'd chosen were to big for the tile cutter, so I have a half laid hall floorway.

For me tonight:-

DC's bathed and are about to have hot chocolate and get off to bed
I'll do an hour studying
Then my bath
Ironing, chocolate, wine and telly

See you all tomorrow.

Good afternoon, a quick Sunday post for me in an attempt to start thinking about flying before Monday morning (note: thinking not doing!)

We have finished de-cluttering attic room today and have a pile for a car boot sale. Do you think we should wait until Spring to do or am I just looking for an excuse? Really pleased we did in 'fly lady' chunks as seemed a much less daunting job, even DP agreed

He has whisked DS off for the afternoon so am about to put on a film, toast some crumpets and make a cuppa - bliss.

Mrs Dinky Hope you feel better soon and isn't it lovely to know you can take it east without chaos breaking out in the house.

DEM Hope you are taking it a bit easy today as well as having tomorrow off - posting at 3:20am, that is not a good sign. I feel your pain. Any chance you will get a nap today or will it just be off to bed when DS goes? (One of my favourite sleep tactics)

Waves to everyone else - is it bathroom week next week?

Morning I mean Afternoon everyone,

It's a lovely day here (Hampshire), thought it was supposed to be foul and stormy all weekend.

I'm taking it a bit easier this weekend as
1. Got a stinking cold
2. Feel a bit more on top of things now although don't want to get complacent.

Some of you have had very impressive lists the last couple of days.

Just had a look at babystep, it is quite spooky, I only announced yesterday to the kids that we were having a new house rule that everyone makes their bed every day from now on.

Todays list for me is short
Clean bathroom - done
Go to Sainsburys
Take kids swimming
Washing, DW, just the usual daily stuff really

See you later

Morning all, thanks for the coffee DWM

Today's list looks like this:-

Washing on started
Cook Sunday Roast chickeninvegprepped
General Tidy downstairs done
Put clean washing away
Tidy our bedroom (not yet, DH still in bed, poor love must have worn himself out yesterday )
spend some family time

Have a good day everyone.

opps meant to add

Have a lovely day everyone.

COffee sounds lovely DWM! Sleep about 3hours worth. Have a lovely day.

Hells - hope you feel better soon.

Already been flying here and today's list is the bits from yesterday that didnt get done and anything else that i remember needs doing whilst procrastinating from the paperwork. Ignoring fat fairy on monday and it will be a rest day!
