~~~~~~~ Thursday FLY ~~~~~~~

[Jelley]

mission

Ok, so I managed to start three new threads This is the one to use!
Good morning one and all

Feeling brighter this morning, but not sure how long it will last.

I've got lots of errands, and toddler group straight after the school run, thenmy mum and dad visiting, so I need to tidy up now.

Hopefully I will get the kitchen, bathroom and sitting room done before I go out. (The great thing about having been FLYing for a while is that this is even a possibility)

Good morning Jelley hope you have a good day, sounds a busy one.
I have a busy day ahead as well but not doing the list just yet as I've got to get the kids off to school first. Will be back after the school run.

LOL Jelley

I wanted to pop on early as a list was building up in my head, and I knew by the time I had got dressed and done the school run, I'd have forgotten half of it!!

TO DO

~Clean Windows (going to try white vinigar solution and newspaper as Anthea seems to highly recommend it)
~Do D/W

~Toddler group
~P.Office
~Try Anthea's Borax and Vinigar mixture on the downstairs loo (still has limescale in the bottom! )

Having a horrible morning here
Dd is very over-excited about her birthday and as a result has turned into a child from hell and I feel like cancelling the whole affair I know I won't really cancel it but I'm so with how she's been this morning I'm finding it difficult to feel as though I can find the energy to give her a nice day.....

Jelley Thanks for starting the thread (times three )

Morning Aufish

Long enough list ludaloo considering you forgot half of it

Enjoy your run Glitterfairy RollOn Good luck at the doctors for you and your DD

Opps Forgot my list

TO DO
Drying/ironing
Going to library to do the baby reading group
Carry on operation decluttering DD's room to be.

ShouldBe {{{Hugs}}} to you, hope the day goes better later. We have yet to start the birthday party thing, so I have no idea how hard these things are.

Sorry to hear that your dd's excitement is getting the better of her shouldbe. I don't have any useful suggestions to combat that I don't think. Unless you can print off some pictures on the PC that you can ask her to colour in and write a guest's name on each and then use as a placemat, or something?

rollon Hello. I think reactions to antibiotics can differ despite it being the same antibiotic to one taken previously. I used to be dismissive of the rash I had following completion of the course until I was told that it could be more severe the next time. I hope she is better soon.

Hello glitterfairy and luda and Aufish. Thanks for starting the thread Jelley.

Okay. The kids have gone to school. I've got a busy morning ahead.

To do:-
~ fetch dd from school, take to doctor and return to school
~ same but with ds
~ food shopping - must add to my list on the PC first or I'll miss stuff off
~ I've a few things to sort out/return. Will try to find them to take and do.
~ cook joint for tea
~ ironing
~ tidying up
~ put away clothes ironed 2 days ago
~ put washing on line
~ finish putting away d/w stuff
~ last thing tonight - put the showercap in the shower so I don't wash my hair first thing tomorrow, forgetting my colour and cut booked for lunchtime
~ fetch ds from after school activity
~ walk the dog
~ ring company about the return that they haven't replied to me about. [cross] After me finally doing it, I'd expected to hear something sooner than nearly a month later! I don't know if I can keep up the self imposed boycott of their company until that return got sorted!

Done:-
~ unloaded and reloaded d/w
~ load in w/m
~ showered and dressed

Long list. Aaaaagh!

Right - I keep saying I am going to do this and so far I haven't!!

So today is the day in the McDreamy house - I am going to learn to fly!!!!!...but I need your help and motivation Life has got to be more organised that it is at the moment !!!

Don't think I can cope with going through all the baby steps, what do you think about just jumping in and getting on with each mission as it comes up?

Morning BabiesEverywhere.

McDreamy I'd say to forget the missions for now, just post a list of what you really need to do today plus a few more desirable things and crack on with that, posting an updated list now and again. Hth.

Well, I'm off. See you all later.

Morning lovely ladies. I am tired and muddle-headed today. Shouldbe STAY CALM!! Give your DD simple, specific things to do to bring her back to earth. I hate organising parties.

Right, to get me started:
1)kitchen 2)stretches, breakfast, wash and dress (I've done the school run wearing any old thing with a coat to hide it!)

Thanks for the calm thoughts everyone dd is now at school (very late and still eating breakfast in the car ). We've had lots of cuddles and she's said sorry so we'll get over it and move on. We're making cakes/cookies after school today so that'll give us something fun to focus on that's birthday related. I like kids parties and am looking forward to it (honestly, I am!) At least I was able to stay calm during her tantrum this morning am not rise to it - something that can be very hard to do esp as she was really really wound up this morning.
Jelley your multiple threads have made me
Better have some breakfast then come back with a list....

TO DO

~Clean Windows (going to try white vinigar solution and newspaper as Anthea seems to highly recommend it)
~Do D/W done
~Washing load in
~Make more biscuits
~Make a general To Do list for the house (for dh to look at! )

It is a long list actually isn't it! I have decided to go to toddler group, as a mum who goes stopped and asked me if I was going, and I couldn't think of an excuse!!!!

shouldbe glad DD calmed down...hope your day gets better

Jelley hope you have a good day with your mum and dad

GF good luck with the spring clean...you are doing well already!

Well last night's talk about The Finances has meant that my mission today is to pay loads of bills and ring various companies

Jelley I'm glad you're feeling better
Luda Anthea will be proud of you - and I'd be interested to know if those mixtures work. I use newspaper and washing up liquid and it works well.

Morning all.
DS's at school on time. Swimming kit for DS1 remembered. What he didn't tell me yesterday was that he needs goggles! Luckily the shop had some and i dropped them into school office before they went off. Then had to rush to get DD1 to pre-school!

I am still tired today but didn't really get an early night!

Just heard from friend that her DS has the sick bug. I am so panicy about mine all getting it! Although the DS's are never ill. DS1 has only had one sick bug since he started school. (touch wood)>

Long lists on here today. I can't manage one of them.
Need to get washing out
And need to phone child tax credits. They have paid me 3 amounts totalling about £1000 too much!! Wish it was mine. I have already spent it in my head. Lol!

Not got long before picking DD1 up so better get washing out!
