No mission today

I will be doing shopping and laundry all day. Today is bed-changing-day in the Jelley house.

Morning

The bug I've been fending off all week struck with a vengence last night and I was quite unwell. Have woken up early this morning feeling brighter in myself but still quite fragile body-wise...have cancelled going into work today in order to try to rest up and get over this properly...

Have a little bit of housework to do today but am going to keep it to the bare minimum - wm/td/dw etc

I asked last night, and will ask again - is there any chance you, or anyone you know recorded comic relief last night? My dd was on and we weren't able to tape it

Shouldbe I hope you feel better soon. Bad luck about missing your daughter being on comic relief. We didn't record it but someone here will have I'm sure.

We had a very rare thing in this house last night - A Good Night Sleep Byt which I mean, only 2 wakenings between 11pm and 7.30am. I actually feel like a human being this morning.

My mum will be here in a while to play with DS while DH and I clear a huge cupboard which has become a repository for anything we need to shove out of the way, ever since we moved in over a year ago. And hopefully the shed too. So that is quite enough FLYing for me, apart from the basics.

Have a good day everyone

Dd was filmed over a month ago telling a joke when we were staying with my brother in Wales - we got the impression that it'd only be shown regionally so thought we'd miss it anyway - and then suddenly, last night, there she was to not be able to show her though - she'd love to see herself on TV! Don't have sky so can't look for repeats

Kids have gone out with dh to run some errands - I'm still not dressed or ready for the day. Dh and I are supposed to be going out to see some friends in their new house over lunchtime but I'm not sure I'm up to it really...

Happy St.Patrick's day to all Irish FLYers - have a good day

Morning shouldbe Oh I missed her after all that!! Had to go and lie with Dd1, then I fell asleep Oh but she was on!!! Oh well good that she was on
I'm sure someone will have recorded it??
Hope you are feeling better this morning tooxx

I'm not in a good mood
Had an arguement with dh this morning

On a brighter note I have moved Ds's bed and he a bit happier, Dd1 is much better, she hasn't been sick again since last night, which is good

Off to tackle this pig sty of a crap heap known as the Ludaloo House! (Why do I even Bother!! )

Sorry...rant over! Have a good day all xx

Morning everyone, well I'm a bit confused tbh, as you know it's St. Patrick's day today and ds 6 is insisting he doesen't want to go to the parade, he said he can watch it onn tv! and tbh the sky is very dark, looks like it could lash down, so I'm really torn.

Jelley thanks for posting the missions all week. Happy bed changing.

Shouldbe I'm sorry I didn't tape it but I'm sure someone will have, maybe post a request for it in chat or telly addicts. Mind yourself, bugs are nasty.

nine Oh God, you have just reminded me of my spare room and cupboard under the stairs where all my crap is, I think I'm in denial about them!

Stacey I really wouldn't worry to much about last night, trust me I've had more moments on MN the two years I've been here that would make a vicar

Angel Enjoy your bath. Ps Are you the original AAA? I'm mixed up because there's a kickassangel as well.

ludaloo Do something nice for yourself today, you need time for you too!

I'm not doing a list today but will do the basics, keep a beady eye on the weather and if it picks up, see if I can persuade ds to go to the local parade this afternoon.

Morning All

Apart from stripping the bed, remaking it, loading and running the WM and putting another load to do...

I HAVE DONE NOTHING!

I've got back into the freshly sheeted bed, sent an email and MNed. DH has taken DS to the dads' grop and is going to do the shopping with him after.

Grouchy feet well and truly up for the weekend I think

Hi to Angel thanks to wommy (sorry, its easier to spell!)

Beds might be a good place to start...it quite sunny so I could maybe get the sheets washed and out on the line....

Hello glassslipper almost didn't recognise you there for a minute

i can't be bothered today either...but..dh and I left dd and ds alone with my dad for about an hour and a half and have come back to the most almighty tip you've ever seen so I have my work cut out this afternoon to get the place good enough to hopefully be able to relax and do nothing tomorrow! Dh and the kids have gone out now to see MIL so I'm going to do a quick whizz round downstairs and then have a nice bit of quiet time then I'll do another whizz round later and hope for the best. Must take it easy though or I'll never shake this bug - I'm my own worst enemy with this type of thing....

See you all later x
