Im not getting all my good clothes dirty and grubby!!

I clean in slouchies and a strappy vest top, and then I will be the PERFECT HOUSEWIFE and shower and dress ready for DH coming home from work!!!

shazronnieWEARINGSHOES · 28/09/2006 13:40

are you going to put on a prom dress a la anthea?

Flamesparrow · 28/09/2006 13:40

Ahh, the perfect housewife wears an apron/overall

shazronnieWEARINGSHOES · 28/09/2006 13:43

i have an apron with a useful pocket

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 28/09/2006 13:44

nah, he can make do with jeans and a top me thinks lol

im not convinced re pinny.... and also having 2 babies in the house, im better off staying scrubber like until late in the afternoon (unless im going out of course) lol

mummyhill · 28/09/2006 14:16

Kitchen floor swept, dishwasher unloaded and reloaded 1 load washing through and dried will put it away in a bit.

DS fed and now sitting with feet up for a bit.

Cappuccino · 28/09/2006 14:19

am back very briefly

have been unable to resist the temptation to listen to the samples of the fly CD

if you've ever wanted to hear Celine Dion sing about her sink, this is the nearest you're ever going to get

Flamesparrow · 28/09/2006 14:24

Dh gets me as I am

Although I don't tend to get desperately messy cleaning anyway... get more messy with snotty baby sliming me

mummyhill · 28/09/2006 14:27

That was scary I think I prefer doing the housework to my own selection of music. Sorry but fly cd is not going to be in it!!!

Flamesparrow · 28/09/2006 14:29

I can't even bring myself to click the link.

I prefer to listen to this kind of thing when I clean

Bucketsofdinosaurs · 28/09/2006 14:32

OMG I just played the Feather Duster song! And I thought I had too much time on my hands.
Still not flyed yet today other than washing a bucketful of nappies. Did manage to take DS (19m) out for a walk along the yachty marina on reins, letting him lead and going at his pace. Never normally gets that much attention poor lamb.

Cappuccino · 28/09/2006 14:45

someone is going to have to explain the bat thing to me

i just don't get it

shazronnieWEARINGSHOES · 28/09/2006 16:03

wow the flylady cd is great!!!

I am nearly pmsl!! thank god for pelvic floor exercises!

mummyhill · 28/09/2006 16:38

Flame - you can share your music with me anytime hun. But surely that bat should be headless.

Skribble · 28/09/2006 17:00

Afternoon all, Lots getting done today I see. So who is off to Flyfest tomorrow....
Joking, that is taking it too far .

I managed to get 2 loads done and a good clear out under the desk of kids school stuff, I hate chucking out all ther old work. I got a folder and kept a few pics, certificates and news books form each year.

Found loads of cellophane bags i thought I had run out of so that will save me money getting ready for a sale next week. Plus my living room is clear enough to be abe to do all the prep I need to do.

I asked MIL if she wanted to come out for lunch after the coffee morning tomorrow, so must go for shopping and get fairy cakes, doilies and fresh flowers .

Beccarolloveragain · 28/09/2006 17:01

cappucino why did you leave

Cappuccino · 28/09/2006 18:04

becca I've just got a lot to do at the moment with work etc

and mumsnet was sucking time away from me

just came back for a brief sec this afternoon as I had a lull

calebsmummy · 28/09/2006 18:32

I don't get the bat thing either!

Right ladies, you need to get me motivated again. I've gorn and lorst me motivation big time! I have piles of washing which are getting bigger, not helped by the weather and the fact that DH is convinced the tumble drier is going to cause a fire if used (it is playing up) and upstairs, well just don't go there...no really don't!

Downstairs isn't too terrible, but only becauise I had friends over this morning.

I just can't be bothered!

tortoise · 28/09/2006 18:47

Hi FLYers.
This FLYing is not going well this week.I think ive only done any front room FLYing once this week! Been out most of the day! Forgot I had someone coming from the CAB this morning.Luckily i had done the kitchen before taking dd1 to pre-school.And she gave me a few mins to get dd2 out of coat etc before she came in(she was a bit early and we had just got back from dropping dd1 off) so i quickly crawled round the floor picking toys up!

Then a ss meeting this afternoon and then hour in the park!
Put dd's to bed just after 6 as warn them out!

Need to do my tea now.

The bat is an MN mascot!

hazelnuts · 28/09/2006 20:29

Evening FLYers. I have not done any FLYing today The kitchen is still in a mess from tea. I had DS1 not wanting to go to school again. Then when I got back from school this morning I had SS waiting for me at the door. Some1 had told them that xp1 was around and was in my house. I had them asking every question you could think of asking. That was the morning gone and I had to get DS2 to school for lunch and his afternoon at school. I then went to the park, DD went to sleep and I read my book.

I don't know where the next 2 hrs went. I looked at my watch for the time and it was time to walk back to school to get DSs.DD was still sleeping. I get to school and went and seen DS1 teacher, she said that DS1 has not said hes hates school but loves it. BUT he also said that hes is seeing his daddy on Saturdays and the Saturday just gone they went to the park. (XP1 did nt come to get them and has never took DSs to the park). Xp1 did not phone again, DS1 got upset. So I have not done any FLYing today and I don't know whats going on. I better clean tea things away. DD is still up as she had to much sleep today. She has done some silly/funny things though that has made me smile and laugh. Its like shes know I want cheering up

mummyhill · 28/09/2006 20:37

Ohh hazelnuts what a day. Have an early night hun and get back in the swing tomorrow.

tortoise · 28/09/2006 20:38

Oh dear HN.Sounds like a bad day. Snuggle up in bed with dd she will soon drop off!!

hazelnuts · 28/09/2006 20:57

mummyhill, tortoise, I have done the kitchen, DW is on and working Sink in all clean. That after I got 15+ daddylonglegs. They were all going round the kitchen. Now DD is out there with the flyswatter hiting the cupboards. lol

Yes I think I will goto bed. I will watch a DVD as there is not much on TV. "Ghost" I think, It wil give me a good reason to cry.

See you all tomorrow,and hope its better too, I will just forget today happened, (if only)

NN xx

hazelnuts · 28/09/2006 21:05

The bat is an MN mascot! tortoise, I not sure now, but I thought there was a thread, or it was said in a thread, that we cant use the bat anymore as some1 has told the owner of the bat about MN using it and they did not like the idea of that. I might be wrong as I cant find the thread now But it was somethin to do with copy rights

I liked the bat too

tortoise · 28/09/2006 21:13

It does get used a lot!!
Hope you enjoy DVD.I love Ghost!(or dirty Dancing)!!
Sleep well and start afresh in the morning!
Least ds says to school he is happy.
Would ss arrange for him to chat to the school nurse? My ds's do every 2 weeks.
