thats what i am going to do aswell Quootiepie. although there isn't much to do in his nursery ds still sleeps in my bed (at 18 months) and all that there is in it is his clothes and books! and they are all neat! maybe im being lazy and should choose the other spare room with the puter in it that has ebay crap all over the place. nah!!!

Quootiepie · 13/08/2006 14:15

snap! DS is still in with me so has an unused crib, a wardrobe and his changing table in it. I guess I could give the floor a good clean etc. Or I might do that room and the downstairs unused room... thats turning into abit of a dumping ground!

someone help me, I slipped big style, I have my caledner but no motivation to get up and do anything. I have a semi permanent headache, morning sickness and a 16 month old. someone tell me one thing to do RIGHT NOW and I'll do it. The entire house is a mess by the way, dishes all over the kitchen , do clean baby clothes etc etc

help me, order me to do a babystep, and tell me which one

Quootiepie · 13/08/2006 14:19

Have a snack and some water. Thats an order! im still in PJs

OP posts:
trinityrhino · 13/08/2006 14:21

i can do that, and probably a very good idea, maybe I am dehydrated ok be right back

Quootiepie · 13/08/2006 14:21

put on ONE load of washing, and just maybe sort the dishes ready for washing? I find this helps me to wash them later, if they are cleaned and piled up.

tortoise · 13/08/2006 14:27

still in pj's!
Yes drink and light snack might help.I had sickness with all 4 of mine.Girls was much worse so know how you feel.Shjine your sink if it needs it.Helps to give good feelings!

trinityrhino · 13/08/2006 14:31

ok, I had an aero and some lemon squash, I know thats not a healthy snack or water but it's something

ok one load of washing I can do that, it'll mean emptying the dryer, folding that, movinf wet stuff to dryer and then loading washer and putting on, I can do that.

I can I can do that come on trinity, kick your ass into gear

Quootiepie · 13/08/2006 14:39

im very lazy today... DH is on his way home now with a little supply of chocolate then im getting into gear! Funny, since being PG i have gone off chocolate, I only crave it occasionally!

OP posts:
Quootiepie · 13/08/2006 14:40

OP posts:
tortoise · 13/08/2006 14:42

I couldn't eat choc when i was preg with dd2.I hated not being able to eat it.Wish i couldn.t now though!

trinityrhino · 13/08/2006 14:44

ok I have folded the dry washing but it's sitting on the kitchen table cause upstairs is literally like a tip and so at least I can find them where they are, flylady would despair of me

I put the wet into the dryer and then more in the washer and it's on

Quootiepie · 13/08/2006 14:44

LOL! When I younger I could eat any amount of chocolate put infront of me! Now after one bar I cant have any more... I never thought id be like that! One friend at school only ate 1/2 bars and saved the rest!

tortoise · 13/08/2006 14:58

Choose a small hot spot and do what you can in it in 10-15mins.Throw away whats not needed and put what is in its rightful place.

trinityrhino · 13/08/2006 15:06

Quootiepie · 13/08/2006 15:51

Fellow FLYers... is clear malt vinegar "white vinegar"? DH bought this and im not sure its the same thing...

OP posts:
shazronnie · 13/08/2006 15:54

remember trinity " we can do anything for 15 minutes" that's what Flylady says.

15 minutes is not long, and it's surprising how much you can do, and if you don't finish it's ok - flylady is not a perfectionist.
