Thanks zoo. This is probably tmi but I can't believe how much fruit etc I am getting away with eating without having any nasty side effects

Ta Dahs:

washed and dressed
ds's lunch and snacks made
dcs breakfasted
wm on
dw loaded
dd's bike put into car (bit of an effort but I managed it)
dcs to school just in time and no more
dds bike taken to bike shop for servicing
mini shop for friends coming to play after school
topped up diesel while in the bigger village

now having more water to try to counteract nasty tablets.

How are you zoo and Cats? I hope you are both feeling better today.

i was awake all night with stabbing back pains that made me weep
ive come to the conclusion its gut related as only happens when i sleep in bed flat
last 2 days going lav has made me double over in pain after then within hour pain is less than half what had been before
im tired and very miserable
i could cheerfully have let dcs stay at home/trash upstairs and let me sleep
im still not sure how i managed ot stagger almost bend double with dd2 to olympics club for 8am pushing little zoo in the buggy to get there.thankfully a mum 5 doors up took ds in.ie given little zoo day off.she playing with kits at mo

dinner time yesterday they were getting a bit too close dcs eating so were put i the kitchen while they ate.little bugger werre laying all over my lovely clean surfaces when i reopened the door as if to say sereves you right shut us in.my lovely sparkly draining board wa scovered cat hair and paw prints again.i cried

zoo have you got a water pistol? a quick squirt on the nose every time you see them up there might teach them!

I'm a bit worried that our cycles are all getting in sync! I'm due & am taking DD2 swimming this arvo

Today's babystep is a bit meh IMO, but perhaps I should actually go look? - I might be surprised!

Must do

• get washed & dressed (Babystep 2)
• check calendar & list
• what's for lunch
• book online delivery slot
• start making a shopping list
• stretch
• S&S upstairs
• S&S downstairs
• pack DD2's bag for swimming
• make lunch
• take DD2 swimming
• wash DD's towels
• empty all bins
• wipe out bin cupboard
• sort recycling
• what's for tea
• make tea
• remind DH to put the bin out
• shine sink (Babystep 1)
• be in bed before 10:30

Would like to do

• more stretching - shoulders & back ache from holding DD2 last night
• Shred
• pamper session (bath, hair treatment, face pack, exfoliate)
• do hair (I need to start practicing ready for work!!)
• look at the fly lady site ([[http://www.flylady.net/d/getting-started/31-beginner-

babysteps/day-3/ babystep 3]])

House Blessing

most of peppermint slice made
most of tiffin made - both are for a friend's fundraiser this weekend

i love bessies ta dahs incorperating the steps and missions

i have slept and done kitts litter box

i will get a water pistol at the weekend!

bessie are you secretly a professional organiser?

Peppermint Cream Slab

4 oz margarine
4 oz sugar
2 tbsp drinking chocolate powder
1 beaten egg
12 Clarinco peppermint creams chopped up (I use whatever Tesco have available that is similar enough)
1/2 lb digestive biscuits - crushed
chocolate for the top layer

Method

Melt the marg, sugar, drinking chocolate and egg over a gentle heat. Add all the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Put in a small lined swiss roll tin. Chill. When set cover with a layer of melted chocolate and chill again. Makes around 24 pieces (depending how big you cut them!)

oooohlovely carrots

i think bessie may secretly be THE flylady

Aha! You have been outed bessie. Fess up!

Ta Dahs:

cleaned out the guinea pigs
poo scooped the back garden
hoovered the kitchen - it really needs mopped but until the garden dries out it seems pointless.
ate lunch
