Becky just got woken by Jess - not happy - going to give them an hour or so and put them both to bed - Becky is still shattered bless her - has only had an hour!

TortUREoiseChamber · 23/10/2006 12:13

Well done Jas.
I must go and do another 15 mins upstairs.
Back soon.

Apronscreams · 23/10/2006 12:18

Morning everyone - back for my second week of flying

I did a lot in our bedroom last week - cleared the closets (v. american)and some clutter, so this weeks fly could help me finish off. I really like the bicarb matress idea but i changed the bed yesterday and will have to see if I can be bothered to strip it and remake.
Is bicarb baking soda?

TortUREoiseChamber · 23/10/2006 12:34

Few more clothes sorted.
Getting a headache and feel tired.

PinkTulips · 23/10/2006 12:41

ooooo, loving the bicard idea. todays the day i wash my bedclothes anyway so my bed is going to smell so clean tonight

kinda scared of what i'll find under the bed though

batinshoes · 23/10/2006 12:43

hi all, lunch done and dd in bed so just cleaned kitchen.

been into town this morning to get halloween party outfits - I'm going as a witch - boring i know but 33 weeks preggers means nothing else fits

also got snowsuit for baby so everything prepared for no 2 now except hospital bag. Nursery is prepared and clean

cant be bothered to do any more....

peegeeweegeeWITCH · 23/10/2006 12:50

Yippee, am dressed!!!

DC having lunch, then will run them a bath - they have been out in the garden in their pj's and are filthy.... (I do normally dress them, honest, but for some reason it all fell to pieces this morning....

Have swished and swiped bathroom and cleaned windows inside and out in master bedroom...

Have taken recycling to bin and composting to composter, will have some lunch in a mo and then need to get to do a small grocery shop...

Oh, and have helped ds write his presentation for beavers to earn his animal care badge...

So, things are moving...

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 23/10/2006 12:59

Morning, afternoon, evening, night. Oh good today is over.
I wish its was. DS1 has been awake from 5:30am. I did not send him back to his bed as I knew from the last 2 mornings he has woke DS2 and DD up. I thought he might go back to sleep if he was in beds with me. But NO! least DS2 and DD stayed asleep until 8:30(DS2) and 9:10(DD). So it was a bad start to the morning.
Then it got worse as XP1 has had a letter sent to me from a solicitor (Yet another new solicitor for him) Saying that he wants to see the DSS and if I keep trying to stop him then he will go to court so they can live with him and will stop me from having them. I am really pissed off as I have not stopped him, its him that has stopped see them. I have tried my solicitor but she is out until Thursday but if she has time before then, then she will phone me. In the mean time I have to send them the letter that I have got from him. She woman did say 1 thing though, as he know I have a solicitor, he should have got his solicitor to send it to mine and not to my home. So thats 2 lies he has told his solicitor already, he should have told them that I have a solicitor and there has been problems in the past.

I am not in the mood for FLYing, well I could do loads and take it out with cleaning, I have always done that sort of thing when I am in a bad/upset mood but I wont as I just know I will over do it and then make matters worse and with the DSs off from school, I don't really want to be over doing it.

I don't have to worry about todays mission but I don't need to sort out my old cloths, theres loads I don't wear anymore (teens) but I need to buy loads of new cloths too as I don't have that much to wear, the same old cloths each week, but some of them are my favorites

I like the idea of putting bicarb on the mattress, I will do that 1 day this week. with the small pots of bicarb around the house I`m sure the house is smelling less damp

peegeeweegeeWITCH I know what that feels like, I have done loads of posts and then the Internet has gone down and I lose my post when posted it.

I have copied this 1, then if the net crashes I can just paste it in and not have to worry about retyping it

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 23/10/2006 13:02

and GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR my MSN wont sign in either

I want to go back to bed

TortUREoiseChamber · 23/10/2006 13:03

Oh dear HN. Don't think he will have much chance of getting them if he went to court. Also if he starts the court thing he will have to pay!!
Hope your solicitor gets back to you soon.

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 23/10/2006 13:16

I hope there is no way he could get them, I just dont want all the fighting. I dont know on paying as he does not work. He always says that he can find a job that he can do, he never really worked as long as I have known him. I just wish he would p***f. Hes made my life hell for the last 7 years and now hes messing up DSs lifes too. The real bit I really hate, is that the SS think hes Mr Great! when really hes Mr ??????? ther is not a word that is good enough to say how bad he is.

peegeeweegeeWITCH · 23/10/2006 13:43

Oh HN, I really feel for you... xp must be a real twunt.... he is putting you through this stress...

give up the flying for the day and take yourself and dc somewhere nice, run around in the park kicking leaves (pretend they are xp's head....)

tortUREoisechamber · 23/10/2006 14:07

Just had lunch and watched Neighbours. Guess i better go do another 15 mins!

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 23/10/2006 14:09

FLY is on hold - DH has finished work early - we are off to Clacton for a walk along the sea front - try and knacker the girls out!

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 23/10/2006 14:27

peegeeweegeeWITCH I dont know what xp1 is trying to do to us. I would go to the park but I feel so tired and my joints are hurting at the mo.

JARM, Can you come and take my DC out with you and knacker them out too? you can feed them too if you want.

tortoise, glad you feel more in a FLYing mood today Well done!

tortUREoisechamber · 23/10/2006 14:53

Well not moved!! Been talking to my bro on msn!
Will do some clothes putting away now.

pippah · 23/10/2006 15:03

I went through my wardrobes yesterday and have put all my summer clothes away (sob) and all my work clothes away (yay!) and got my hubbie to park them in the loft. So do I get let off doing todays mission? I also put up the moses basket on its stand in our room and put the nappies all ready in a wicker basket underneath. Now I've written that all down, I think I'm definitely allowed to skip it! I've been out for coffe/ lunch this morning and am feeling lazy and very pregnant. My sink's shiny-ish, so that'll do!

tortUREoisechamber · 23/10/2006 15:21

Well done pippah. How long have you got left?

All the DD's clothes are put away.Yay! Any tips on how i can be organised enough to always put away once they are dry? Im fed up with ending up with a bedroom that is piled with clothes.
