Welcome one and all

I know all about flylady, think she is fab but at the moment feeling too emotionally crippled to cope with the emails, wearing shoes, the huge long threads, the pressure of doing it right.......

so no links to her please

I will get there at some point but for now

For whatever reason that you cry about your house or are scared to start cause there is tooo much to do.

Let s just whinge and try and do a little thing a day if we can

morning to all

ItsMeMellowma · 18/01/2007 10:46

justIvor Hello

Thanks for not shouting at me for not Flying today

JustIvor · 18/01/2007 10:52

I don't shout at anyone Mellowma unless they specifically request it!

TrinityRhino You're welcome. I'm going to do some more now. I've got sinusitis so I'm on half speed. First, I'll get changed into my housework clothes.

Oh, yes, and I think I did a link to this thread on your thread yesterday for the benefit of the poster who was interested in joining you here.

I have a cup of tea, and all the washing up is in the sink.

Mellowma. I have 3.- I could never quite believe I wouldn't ever be pregnant again after dd2, and had ds when she was 5 1/2, after a year of taking our chances, but not "trying". I don't regret it, even though I found tjhe pregnancy harder, and we have no money/space for another child.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

belgo · 18/01/2007 10:54

thank you for that extra information Trinity rhino

ItsMeMellowma · 18/01/2007 10:58

Thanks Jelley!!

Yes we do not much space either, but I have changed the boys room round and am positive I could squeeze a little cot in somewhere.

The thing which puts me off is ds2 starts nursery in August/September and atm I still take him out in his pushchair (he is wild)!!

Now when he starts nursery, I have to let him walk and if I am pregnant and he runs away, I cannot imagine trying to chase him being pregnant

Oh there always something,

Off to get dressed!!

nwgreenmum · 18/01/2007 10:58

Hello all. Said I would be joining today. Only just got online though as I have been making myself do the dishwasher and put the nappies on first. and OMG the state of my kitchen when I came down this morning! I also have a dining table now COVERED with folded piles of clothes. My mission for today is to not have them there when I go to bed.
Trinity - ewww at the mouse as well.
Oh - DD sounds like she might be waking up. If my typing gets bad (Worse?) it will be cos I am BF, so appologies in advance

belgo · 18/01/2007 11:02

nwgreenmum - the piles of clothes are folded?

I'm impressed, the clothes are dumped on my dining table, I will try and fold them and put them away but my dd thinks it's great fun to unfold them and scatter them around the room!

nwgreenmum · 18/01/2007 11:09

ahhhh. At least DD is too small to inerfere, but doesn't want to entertain herself too much today.
The wind is really rattling the house today - it isn't raining but i can't hang anything out as it wouldnt stay on the line [sigh]

TrinityRhino · 18/01/2007 11:10

welcome nwgreen

very at the folded clothes, I'm with belgo they are a jumble and most of it is on the floor in the hall, not even on the table lol

I have filled in my forms and the post came

so now I know that I will get child benefit for dd2 from october (yes I know she is 21 months, but I htought I had sorted it) and so now will have to appeal to try and get it backdated some more.

form is coming in the post to appeal. next thing is to post the incentive scheme latter, just the kind of theing that doesn't get donw, I have no stamps and then when I take it with me in the car it gets forgotten, really going to try and do it properly today when I go to pick up dd2

OP posts:
nwgreenmum · 18/01/2007 11:19

The stuff on the table is folded. The stuff beside the table is not... neither is the stuff in the hall, on the landing, or over the banisters. Or the stuff in the basket, or the stuff strewn all over the bedroom floor.. [sigh again]

TrinityRhino · 18/01/2007 11:20

lol nwgreen, thats what it's like here minus the folded stuff, don't worry, we'll get there

OP posts:
TrinityRhino · 18/01/2007 11:22

ok next is unloading the dishwasher, will do that before I leave to pick up dd2 at 12.40

belgo · 18/01/2007 11:28

TrinityRhino · 18/01/2007 11:29

nwgreen - I just meant the thread olive started about 'just get on with you housework and stop complaining on here' took it a bit personally and it made me feel a little dejected but Im brushing myself down and looking forward

What shall I do about the mouse, I don't want to to touch it but dh is out don't want it left there either, anyone wanna come over and chuck it out for me lol

kittylette · 18/01/2007 11:32
