Hello all - welcome to our February thread for 2018. Everyone is welcome and it's never too late to join in. We are decluttering our homes and keeping them clean and tidy(ish) as well as having some general chat as well.
We follow the Flylady method, and will post links daily to the missions via the Flylady website. For more information, have a look at www.flylady.net/
Here's to a fun February for all of us (with the occasional prod from the pointy stick of motivation and visits to the naughty corner 
)

Clean-ish, I said. Lightning may strike if I claimed to be pristine
I'll restock the naughty corner ready to post the links shortly. Will check them first ...

Well that was a good start 
Sorry about the duplicate, the page went a bit funny after I tried to post. I think I was stunned by the hot water (or other) bottle.
DD has at least made it downstairs tonight, first time since Sunday. She seems to be going down with an ear infection now though. Buy Calpol shares now, sales are increasing. DD has a heat pad against her ear. Definitely a heat pad.

She is,of course,complaining about her throat tonight.hoping she's not succumbing to lil zoos lurgy or worse,adding another into the mix.since lil zoo change primary and D's start secondary in sept three different schools worth of germs and being bought in,intermingling once in my house and creating new bloody bigger bugger off germs.grr.someone please tell me in couple months they will adjust and immune systems will stop just laying down saying "school day lads.lay down your weapons"?!

Well I have shares in distilled witch hazel and Epsom Salts. Fabulous stuff, especially with ds
Ds is standing between me and a hot kettle. I want my hot water bottle dammit. Ds has however just finished his homework a loud and shouty angry chore which was apparently my fault And will shortly be fucking off to bed. 
Although he is currently dancing around and wishing for a bit more snow because apparently if there is more he might get a day off school. Personally I don't give a shit because either way I still have to get up at the same time because I will have to check the school website.

I am finding it most bizarre waking and lil zoo asleep.most unnatural.shows how poorly she's been....
Super busy day,I have a meet at church at 12 regarding a pop up cafe on Wednesdays being considered that will provide a listening ear,friendship and support and "a place to go where it's ok to not be ok"
I'm actually quite excited by this as the mental health services were are as much use as chocolate fire guard and for many struggling the isolation perpetuates the illness iyswim.hope we can get it off the ground
Also seeing a friend for drink n chat .luckily it's mum of 9 so If like zoo still at home she's happy to come to me and will sit with her whilst i attend meeting

Signing in. No flying today - DD's school is shut due to a water leak so we're going to do something fun. DH day off too, so a real bonus day.
DD wants to go swimming in a pool with a flume, I'm half tempted to do something really crazy like take her to London. I even looked at Legoland - but it's shut. I would normally avoid going there, but nowhere will be very busy on a random February Thursday!
Bower please take care 
. It's lovely the children were so pleased to see you.
