A quick hello to all newbies. You're all very welcome.

Am struggling to light the fire in the living room. Ds is laughing gently at my efforts. Had a phone call from school to ask why he wasn't in. The letter needs to be handed in to reception, not given to the reception teacher via a circuitous route i.e. dd taking it to school and passing it to someone in ds' class to hand to teacher. All sorted now. Not sure what to do next. Keep getting nauseous waves but hope not to come down with the bug. I'm going to do some ironing I think, keeping ds company in the living room. See you later.

Hi everyone, I haven't read the whole thread yet, I've been very poorly the past few days with my asthma. I'm on a course of steroids so feeling very weak. I'm just about managing the basics, anywho am off to read the thread, just wanted to touch base.

Jelley · 21/03/2007 12:06

I find the odd socks down the back of the radiator. Usually two days after I have had a clear out and finally thrown away their partners

I have one hour for lunch and emergency FLYing, then out again, so nt read whole thread, but welcome FLYbabies

Mhamai · 21/03/2007 12:09

Hey Shouldbe and staceym11 hope you are both feeling better soon.

staceym11 · 21/03/2007 12:17

i find odd socks in the hose of my washing machine baby ones are terrible, they'r so tiny!!

shouldbedoingthehousework · 21/03/2007 12:21

Hello again - thanks for the good wishes Sending them back to all those who are poorly too or have poorly dcs x
Welcome any newbies

I'm finding it very difficult to relax - I'm hopeless at being ill, it's such a waste of time! I know I need to rest so am trying my best...getting very now though Have to go and collect ds in a minute - hope he's nice and tired after a morning at pre-school!

ludaloo · 21/03/2007 12:46

Oh dear...my moving around of stuff has turned into an entire house move around

I now have to find a place for all Dd's teddies...which I flung off her top shelf to make way for the books...

So...I'm taking all the games and boxes down off the top of her wardrobe and putting them in the cupboard, which now has space after the boxes of books came out

ROFL Even I'm confused now!!

tortoise · 21/03/2007 13:29

Hello FLYers and welcome FLYbabies!
Big get well hugs to poorly ones.

I still feel a bit grotty. Just a cold so must get some FLYing done this afternoon. Its such a mess in here.
Been to Mother and toddler group this morning. DD's are worn out and grumpy so they are going to watch a DVD snuggled up in my bed for a while.

EHM Glad DDs sleeping better. Long may it continue!

Forgot to add my Ebay link this week!!
Look here!

NineUnlikelyTales · 21/03/2007 13:36

Hello everyone including even-newer-than-me-newbies and good afternoon

So far today I have..

Been to a BF support group
Purchased golden syrup (not yukky barley malt extract as mistakenly bought yesterday)
Bought veg etc for tonight's dinner

Still to do..

Everything else
Tons of washing
Messy kitchen
Messy sitting room
Messy bedroom
Make biscuits
Look at bottom of wardrobe (I'm darned if I'm throwing any shoes away though - throw shoes away???)

Back later

9nut

ludaloo · 21/03/2007 13:47

I don't have shoes to throw away either...I suspect the kids do though...

Well suprisingly, upsatirs is now looking ok

The girls bedroom will look great when they have their matching duvet covers

Ds's room just has his toys and stack boxes in...waiting for the bed. The floor is now clear for the airbed for SIL (and her otherhalf) at the weekend

Just left to do:

Downstairs cupboard I have to put the shoe rack back in the cupboard now, as the bookshelf has gone where the shoe rack was in the hall.

Grrrrr Cupboard is grim

OP posts:
tortoise · 21/03/2007 13:48

9nut i don't have enough shoes to throw any away!
DD's watching DVD now so i better get on.

staceym11 · 21/03/2007 14:05

i threw out all my old unused shoes last week, well recycled them at clarks, as none were good enough for selling! and some i only had 1 i know i lost 1 while out clubbing once! lol, dunno why i kept the other one!!!

staceym11 · 21/03/2007 14:05

oh oh oh dd just had a poo on the potty!!!! its sad im so excited isnt it?!?! lol

glitterfairy · 21/03/2007 14:14

lol stacey!

Well I am not doing as well as expected as work has cropped up but have managed to:

Make soup
Cycle for one hour
Washing x1 load
Ring my dad
Sort out office furniture to charity

Now on to do a small amount of the rest of my list! I am at home more next week so hoping by this time next week the house will be fit to be seen.

ludaloo · 21/03/2007 14:17

Lol! stacey have visions of you hobbling home WELL DONE LITTLE STACEY

Well I swear today has gone so much better because I have been FLYing all these months! I have been able to move things round (big things too like beds and bookshelves) and It hasn't been too hard to put everything straight again

Decluttering, and organising has saved my life in soooooo many ways!

OP posts:
ludaloo · 21/03/2007 14:19

(I did find a half chewed rice crispie cake on the top of DD's wardrobe though! )

OP posts:
tortoise · 21/03/2007 14:42

Very slowly tidying up here. Lots of mess behind the toy boxes. looks like a plant had been knocked down without me knowing!! Have to keep stopping to wipe my drippy nose.

DVD doesn't seem to be what DD's want today. Typical as i need to get on! They are now banging around upstairs. Hope they are not making to much mess.

Well done to yopur DD Stacey.

tortoise · 21/03/2007 14:43

Well done Luda.
