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.

Cleaned fridge.thus involved scrub up milkshake someone spilled at back of fridge and just put kitchen paper over and left itAngryin process also knocked over tahini and I have sesame oil everywhere toAngryAngrywhy can't people just admit it if can't fix it on their own so it's not semi frozen in place when I find it?!

Sorry zoo I'm no expert at all on concussion...I don't know how long you're supposed to give it. Maybe if you're worried you should keep him off though.

Dd slept well last night and seems a lot better for it today. Ds slept well too. I'm not coughing so much now hardly at all but really snotty still and have a bad headache. Think it is going though...

Off to check ds for signs of any spots yet!

Callmecordelia · 15/03/2018 07:26

This might be too late, sorry Zoo. If you have an MIU easily accessible I'd take DS to that as he's woken up with a headache. I'd keep him off personally.

Afreshcuppateaplease · 15/03/2018 07:39

Aqeuous cream is no longer recommended for children with eczma as it can thin the skin and cause a burning sensation ....

Afreshcuppateaplease · 15/03/2018 07:43

Yes id keep him off too zoo and get him checked if still has headache. Cannot be too careful with heads!

foxessocks · 15/03/2018 08:14

afresh i actually think dd is through the worst of the itching now so hopefully just piriton will be enough today.

Cagliostro · 15/03/2018 08:20

Morning all. I didn’t post last night because Cagletini and I were asleep by 10/10.30 respectively! 😱😇 Unfortunately she woke at 1, I think she hadn’t had enough of a feed. So she was then in with me. Argh baby sleep is so complicated. But still. I found it easier to get up this morning so worth it.

Unfortunately I have a sore throat and tummy ache so might stay home while the others go to trampolining. Need to get some home ed done in the middle of the day, then have Badgers later

Afreshcuppateaplease · 15/03/2018 09:15

Thats good foxes!

Slept about 1030-630 so a good sleep again for me but still have head fog / slight head ache this morning

Uniforms ironed
Packed lunches made

foxessocks · 15/03/2018 10:12

afresh hopefully your good sleep is here to stay and your head/body will adjust to the change! I expect that's why you have head fog. I know the feeling.

I had basically done everything by 10...bit bored today!

Started rearranging cupboards in kitchen after bought cute organiser boxes reduced at Aldi..I've got two on a shelf in fridge,one full nuts,other seeds(no more sunflower seeds everywhere!!whoo hoo)and am aim rearrange pasta rice and poss may have room some lentils etc😍

Cagliostro · 15/03/2018 15:23

OMFG so tired.

Need to leave for badgers soon. Sigh. But the Caglets are putting their clothes away, and we’ve done about an hour on Ireland as planned, baby’s fed. We also did maths and spellings, but realised we could actually do that at the leisure centre on Thursdays - we tend to get there early, so could sit at the cafe bit and do them, since we have to leave so early for trampolining. The more we can fit in to odd moments like that the better. I’m really feeling the guilt at not doing enough with them ATM. That said, the fact they were finding it fun to do the research and stuff today is a really positive sign. We shall see if that translates to enjoying making the poster too. Will do that tomorrow, along with trying potato farls, yum!

CotswoldStrife · 15/03/2018 15:53

Good afternoon fledglings at least I'm doing better this week health-wise. Still got coughs and runny nose but feeling better than I did!

No flying today - DH had a day off work so we had a relaxed morning at home and a pub lunch. Just collected DD from school and now all sitting down with our screens!

foxessocks · 15/03/2018 19:27

Thanks toostressy I will check that out for a photo book!

I've had a headache all day. Dc are in bed and I think I may also be in bed soon! So tired. Another day of chicken pox quarantine tomorrow Sad starting to get a bit fed up now!

Stilllivinginazoo · 15/03/2018 19:33
