Fledglings flying into March.

[HillsBesideTheSea]

Right you horrible lot stop nattering so much nah it wouldn't be fun if you did

So you have wandered into this corner of MN were the fledglings - a long running but very friendly group welcomes newbies and follows the flylady way to try to get decluttered and on top of the boring stuff in order to have more time for the fun other boring but essential stuff

No idea whose turn it was to run the thread this month but here it the thread and we can figure it out from there.

Hi,
done nothing😕

You ok bower?
I gave up any shreds of sanity after I had the zoolets hills my dinosaur knowledge is verging towards mastermind specialist subject.i know waaaaay to many of the background mlp names.zoolets obsessed food and nature so I learned about birds and plants, remedies of various herbs etc.it kinda keeps me on my toes and when I get thrown questions I can't answer it's much easier these days than when dd1 was little and I had no internet so thumbing thru books in library.i suspect their enquiring minds have kept mine from turning to mush from stress/lack sleep etc
SC
Hope get bathroom sorted
Foxes I not guna lie I cba peel tomato in soup(nor peppers)love roasted cherry tomatoes
Grey great list!!
Cag well done on the Bolognese(did you have any left to freeze for another day?)

Tada

Cat/kits fed

I need do some cupboard sorting so might make a start on that before I do breakfast

daily reminders

Morning everyone. Dd going back to nursery at last! Ds didn't get up as early today but still hardly any appetite and weird poo just want everyone to be better now!

Got to go out this morning but not sure how ds will be. Have a feeling he may scream all the way round the shops.

You do plenty Afresh

Everything going tits up here. DH leaving for long trip tomorrow. Two family members coming to stay. Begged and bribed plumber to turn up to sort out part functioning bathroom (loo leaking) and usual bathroom (in which the sink has seized up) before their arrival and he's just rung to tell me he can't now come. Second plumber not answering calls. Arrgh! Oh yes and no spare beds 'cos they are all at wreck2. Plus I still feel dizzy and just can't rush around (bleats pathetically). Think I am going to have to go to IKEA (bleats even more pathetically).

DD currently obsessed with science and physics. Such a surprise to me because she was v orientated towards lang/arts/humanities at primaire but she's undergone a complete volte-face since! Helped by absolutely fantastic and dedicated science teacher who is amazingly good at her job! I

So frustrating foxes :(

Thanks so much hills - oooh fireworks! Actually one of his spelling sentences this week was about an element being used in fireworks, I’d had no idea. Also we were doing proper science notes in books for a while before baby arrived, and we were doing a whole plant topic. So photosynthesis would be more interesting to him now that he knows what the equation represents. There are a few science things that go on locally, and we do them, but they are very much aimed at ks2 so not actually going into the details and theory really (so talking about reactions in general, but not which elements, not talking about bonds etc... all that stuff I never really understood) which is what he now wants. I think we could do more stuff at home though, as the experiments will mean more to him now. Whereas to DD they will still be more “oh look it’s changed colour” IYSWIM. We do actually have a proper chemistry set, need to find the apparatus though as I don’t think it ever got put away when washed after doing one experiment! But again I think we would get more out of it now.

Need to get up. DH is putting a towel wash on to see if it leaks again. 🙄

Oh that doesn't sound good Foxes

Go steady Cotswold

Flying to do ... EVERYTHING!!!

Waves to Cag Zoo Hills Bower and everyone else!

If anyone needs a bit of light relief then this thread is funny!

I still have some lingering worksheets I think. I will see what I can find because there is a few things he has to understand to prevent there being issues in the future. If not I shall have a think and scribble something down.

Lil zoo tummyache hasn't gone and today it's not z pain she has had before-it hurts enough can't stand up straight,she's opting to lay curled up in bed with her tablet for distraction.pains around bellybutton.says hurts to touch,don't want me anywhere near it...I have spoken "d" p and he's agreed if I ring doc for advice and want see her he will come from work(it's a 3min walk and no way she could manage that)as during day there's plenty staff in and quite relaxed boss(adult mental health residential home that's to build independantly living so they aren't THAT hands on)

Tadas

Just going round up a third load
I opt sort under boy dungeons bed(midi sleeper) whilst he snored on...

3min?erm no 30minute.if couldn't walk 3mins I'd be ring ambulance....

Sorry to hear about Lil Zoo Zoo - I hope she feels better soon - and sorry about the archery too.

Ah no poor lil zoo!

Ta da

Uniforms for day
Packed lunches
All tea and breakfast pots washed
Dryer on
Read with dd
School run done

I'm not HCP (obviously) but maybe check out appendicitis? Think initial pain can be around tummy button and tender to touch?

Sorry, re-reading your post Zoo you are probably thinking that already . Anyway hope a doc can check her out. DD had two similar episodes aged about 12. Presented like appendicitis but turned out to be colic which can be similarly painful.

Hope dd ok zoo poor thing

That sounds stressful sc!

Ta da
Popped to shops and got some new pjs and socks for ds who is suddenly outgrowing everything
Got fuel
Put dishwasher on
Wiped sides
Took rubbish out

To do

Kitchen hot spots
Book meal out (we have arranged a babysitter for a few weeks time! Woohoo!)
Book tickets to little toddler show I want to take ds to
15 mins kitchen
Attempt to order photo Book argh
Swish and swipe bathroom

Need to go and pick up dd now hope she had a good first morning back...

Thanks guys.i rang gp around 11 to be put onto triage phone call.missed am one so on pm list,which is from 2 pm
She's feeling bit better,hungry which always good sign,pain only when moving now(like yesterday)
SC I was wondering colic/IBS?not sure what they could do for that,but I secured a call with go for later so least they can reassure me what to do as I don't want to be a fretting Freda....
Tadas
Midnumbingly slow sorting thru a handwritten book of recipes copying out those I can still read after kit tip water over it and smudge substantial amount of contents.id say 3/4 salvageable but it's slow going....

Oh and yet more washing
Lil zoo had toast,bit cucumber and some plain baked crisps.pain only on moving now...
I've just scoffed big bowl comforting kale mash and tin tuna(easy on the mouth and filling)

Zoo even if its colic, its worth being checked out by a doc, as can be very very painful (dd needed pain meds through drip). Also, a doc can exclude/include appendicitis I think with rebound test/movement thingy. (Don't take this as proper medical advice obviously!!)

Stop press... drum roll ... wait for it ....

TA DAAAAAAA!!

I have unblocked the main bathroom sink without the aid of anyone with testicles!!!!

girl power!!!!!!!

Nearly made me puke doing it, but it was worth it!

[Hills - did you hear Tusk this morning? - looks like its Canada]

Sorry for thread hi-jack!

Oh yes and I've hung up two loads of washing to dry and put two more on and served dd lunch of stoemp and sausage.

Foxes my love ... you definitely need a spa day!

Another proper plumber (the usual kind with testes ...) is coming in an hour so I had better get on ... .

Foxes sorry - rushing - I meant spa day in addition to meal out!!!
