Everyone was busy yesterday

My dh takes over the computer when he is at home, but today he is off to work

It rained over night here, the snow is still quite thick, but fairly patchy now. I can't believe how much we had!!! I videod it, it was so heavy, they really were the biggest flakes I have ever seen!!!

Ivor I hope you have a good holiday, travel safely and we'll see you when you get back xx

EHM I too was confused about the Sunlight!! LOLOLOLOLOL!!

Well my tumble dryer has finally bitten the dust! Dh must have ressurected it about 5/6 times in the past, but the drum has gone completely now...so my radiators are constantly strewn with clothes at the mo!

Today I have
~Hung a load of washing around the house
~Folded a load up
~Put a new load in W/M
~Loaded D/W
~Stoked the Fire and fetched the coal

To DO:
~Strip beds
~Tidy Kitchen
~Hoover Upstairs
~Look for new T/D (If I can find a cheap one]

Its half term here too next week.

Have a good day everyone

Morning ludaloo and shouldbe we didnt have any snow at all so I am jealous! Next week is my kids half term as well so am going to start by washing their pe kits. Will also do a list when I have had my weekend coffee and finished clearing up from a lazy night last night.

ludaloo · 10/02/2007 10:15

Morning shouldbe and glitter

Pancakes sound nice!

Right well I have sat around this morning for long enough! I had better get on and actually do some housework.

I actually feel like blitzing the house today. I think I'll go from room to room and dust and tidy and hoover.

What zone is it next week...does anyone know?

Lazylou · 10/02/2007 10:36

Hi Everyone, it feels like years that I haven't popped in what with work and college and stuff! How is everyone??

I thought I would post today, as I have to literally sort through the whole house again and I've got a feeling I'm going to be here for hours.

Better go!

laloop · 10/02/2007 10:37

laloop · 10/02/2007 10:37

Hi lazylou

glitterfairy · 10/02/2007 10:42

Ds has cleared and tidied his whole room! Bless him.

Dd has informed me that she went to bed at 2.30 on her first sleepover at 7 and therefore I will have to be careful of her when I get her because she can be like Cartman when tired!

I have sorted post this morning ( one months worth), started some work and washed up twice, cleared the kitchen made a fresh juice and done a load of washing.

ludaloo · 10/02/2007 12:36

Hi Everyone

lazylou nice to see you back...good luck with the house today! Hope college and work is going ok

glitter my ds is the same when tired
She had a very late night!!! As long as she had good fun though, thats the main thing.

Have a good time in town shouldbe, hope you find some trousers.

~Tidied out and wiped all the cupboards
~Tidies out my "clutter" draw
~De cluttered every sideboard
~Anti Bac'd all the work tops
~Cleaned Fridge door seals (didn't do it yesterday)
~Washed bin out again (someone had put a half eaten banana in the bottom...under the bag...eeeewwwww

great morning out shopping. dd2 slept all the way round. mcdonalds for me, dh and dd1

bought the little mermaid dvd as part of dd1s birthday present in a few weeks.

having a great day. not a tiny bit of houseork done

shouldbedoingthehousework · 10/02/2007 13:55

Luda you're doing well!
I haven't started - shopping trip was cancelled cos dd had a tantrum she's in a terrible mood so we really couldn't be bothered to 'treat' her with a trip to the shops and out fro lunch.
Ds and dh have just gone to get some bits from the local shop for supper.

dd and I are now trying to sort all the art and craft stuff we have - there's LOADS

Not much else going on.........

shouldbedoingthehousework · 10/02/2007 13:56

Hi satin well done on such good night and day

Lazylou · 10/02/2007 14:13

Well, so far have managed to tidy round front room, in preparation for actually cleaning it (told you it was in a state!) and I have managed to put DD's massive vanity table together that she got for her birthday last month .

Also, done 4 loads of washing and started the washing up. I keep flitting backwards and forwards from job to job and I can't seem to get going in any particular area which is getting on my nerves!

DD is playing now with said vanity table so I'm off into the deep dark depths of her room to try and uncover the bed and carpet. I am then going to strip her bed, obviously once I find it, and then wash the bedding, whilst doing the rest of the washing up.

My bedroom looks like the proverbial tip so I might have to give it a miss until tomorrow, then the last job on my list is.... the bathroom .

I't nice to be back!

ludaloo · 10/02/2007 14:17

Hello

satin well done!! Glad you had a good night!

shouldbe shame about the shopping trip...kids eh!

Well I have now finished the living room:
~Dusted
~Hoovered
~de-cluttered
~Tidied

Right...upstairs next!

Afternoon EHM Luda Shouldbe Satin and everybodyelse and a big HELLO to any newbies

I've been so busy I havent posted for a few days. I'm bit stressed about bf's wedding plans, a con job re photos of DS and feeling a bit not right after some blood tests yesterday.

To top it all I had a meltdown with DH today. I got no sleep last night and I was bringing spare quilts back at 6:30 am when DS got up and wanted to play. I also

Cleared up from last night
Clean under sofa cushions.
Sort garbage into glass, recyclables and garbage
Put garbage in bins (in the rain in my pjs)
Clean hob
Put away ingredients
Cleaned the kitchen area
Loaded and run DW
Empty TD and take up for putting away x2
Empty WM and organise for drying
Clean sooty fire
Put up race track for DS
Cope with DS being V naughty
Vac front room (after DS liberally sprinkled rice crispies everywhere)
Shower for me and DS.
Phone MIL to see if she'd have DS this aft as DH is going to football. (and have a moan/grass DH up)

During this DS stayed in bed having a lie in again When he got up he asked if DS has been given breakfast...I lost it completely. He never acknowledges the hard work that goes to keeping the house tidy (Cleaning, Laundry etc) But I always say thankyou for whatever he does. I, in a sleep deprived state just couldn't handle being seen as a dutiful drudge. He says I'm always in a bad mood with him. No I'm tired and my consultant neurologist prescribed meds to handle fatigue yesterday. Did DH notice...did he monkies. He never considers that I'm 'good enough' and delights in pointing out my tiniest failing (leaving a light on etc)

He's still in a strop with me, he's complained none stop for 24 hrs about trivial rubbish and That I don't handle DS well. I've had enough. I've even offered to pay for ds's damage to computers and his iPod accesories but...strop strop strop.

I was going to walk out and go to the local mall in righteous anger but it was raining and I just missed the bus, didn't fancy waiting in the icy rain for 30 mins so
I went to the dad's group with him today. Well I needed to pass some info re funding ops to the bloke who runs it. Oh and return DS's library books,post a letter and collect a ring. DS wouldn't settle so we went to the supermarket to finish a perfect morning.

I packed a basket of toys for Ds and he's taken them to MILs. I've got me time and tho I've tidied DS's toys away, I'm doing nothing til 4:30

Sorry ladies, I needed to offload before I take it inside and end up sick again. Thanks for listening

shouldbedoingthehousework · 10/02/2007 15:18

{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} grouchy

Fattytwoshoes · 10/02/2007 17:09

I've just joined the flylady thingy. I REALLY want a tidy and organised house. So i thought it can't harm can it? Sorry to gatecrash thread.

ludaloo · 10/02/2007 17:35

Hi Fatty...oh god..that sounds awful shortened!! Hi FTS ...thats better!
Welcome aboard!
No actual FLYing is supposed to be done on the weekend...but if you are anything like me...you stop for two days and it seriously backfires!!!!

Grouchy {{{HUGS}}} for you! I know for a fact I have days like yours! Your Dh does sound a bit like mine! I get ranted at for leaving lights on and things.. (MEN! What is it with them!?) Hope you feel better soon. I think also you do a FAB job!

I have half done the upstairs! By the time I'd done downstairs I'd run out of steam!

Going to have a nice hot bath in a bit, and then put the kids to bed. Dh working late tonight I think.

See You In A Bit xx
