Hi all
mad hope you're ok

Well I'm having a duvet day today
Have been ill on and off for two months and finally went to the doctors who's lectured me and given me anti B's and said I need blood tests (for all sorts of horrible things)

So I've got a sainsbos delivery at mid day and I'm sitting on the sofa wrapped in a blanket watching Jezza Kyle

Sorry for being a crap flyer

You're still way ahead of me Greyskull despite oversleeping...
and EHM thanks for thread

So far
Read dd long story about delinquent raven
contemplated beautiful veg box which has just arrived, lovely leeks, cauliflower, cabbage and purple kale.
cleared breakfast
supervised violin
found ds1 outfit for his school play
everyone in good mood
dd still at home, but just sotto, not really miserable. Yesterday she fell asleep twice on sofa - short walk to dr's knocked her out.
Dr said kids have glands in stomach rather like in neck, so they have can have a stomach ache when underweather. So not appendix ..yet!
sheets in wash
Returned to writing things in control diary, as I feel I'm getting a bit too impulsive. More OCD needed here!

TO DO
Remake wet bed ( as changed all sheets yest
hoover playroom (did clear ready to hoover yest)
Load car with stuff in hall for charityshop (possibly go with dd)
iron clothes in our bedroom which are still hovering
what's for dinner cauliflower cheese, baked pots, cold roast, carrot salad with raisins
Finalize feeding arrangements for cat over hols
Take dts for booster injections
Make a list of things I want to do with my time that I ENJOY.
ring two friends should have rung yesterday

hmm its very very quiet, suspiciously quiet, where are all the fliers gone? RL busy no doubt.
Maybe it is that thread flying is a stage we go through, once we are successful we then fly the nest

I have done floor
hoovering
stuff in car
beds
more close your eyes and declutter (can't help thinking about a skirt I threw away last year which I really miss, which was green silk with embroidery and didn't fit...)

BBWed.
Hope you are managing TMH.

Afternoon all ehm thanks for the thread

I hope all the poorly flybabes and flybabies feel better soon. Ds appears to be on the mend, still pale and tired and not eating much but the snot-river appears to have reverted to drought conditions.

done
quick tidy of living room and kitchen
rubbish out
bed made
ds taken to granny's

my house is shameful, it is depressing me, I really need to get sorted out but I am feeling demotivated and lethargic. Please nag me until I get it clean!

DP is going out tonight so I am stuck in on my own - would normally love this but I suspect I may end up spending the whole night cleaning!

Wolf - don't spend all night cleaning . Set a cut off time when you stop and watch TV or something. I always get more done if I set a time limit .

DC are playing happily in the garden . I am having a little break before i swing into action again .

DONE
dts MMR booster (taken a long time to organise)long walk back and forth etc
rest of afternoon placating with custard tarts lemonade etc

dt2 next to me is going BLAH BLAH BLAH and I see he can read, good,because he is now laughing his head off.

Picked up ds2 from gaelic football

Good luck with cleaning Wolf, I'm sure it's not really a tip, just needs a bit of TLC as do we all really.

Hello

I'm planning for a FLY day tomorrow so am bookmarking this thread in the hope of getting back on MN in the morning.
I'm soooo tired after a very busy couple of days at work...not sure I'll stay awake much pastthe kids bedtime! This clock change business has really got to us all this time.

How's TMH? Any news?
Thanks for the thread EHM, hope all is well with you x
Hope you're feeling rested Saga; take things easy and get well soon x
swan, you've had a busy day. I heard the same about the glands in kids tummy last week when I took ds to the docs. He's had a nasty cold for weeks and has been complaining of tummy ache too. We've been given ABs and he's on the mend now - hurray!
galan, wolf, grouchy, greyskull, prof, Tort, Luda and everyone Hope you're all well too

dw unloaded reloaded and set to come on in an hour
kitchen surfaces given a quick wipe - it's starting to look slightly less horrifying now
