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.

zoo so sorry I missed all the posts last night I went to bed so early. Glad your ds is okay.

afresh oh no not another early start!

I still have a headache and have hardly slept. Really not looking forward to today Sad

Bowerbird5 · 16/03/2018 07:20

It keeps kicking me off so have to log in each time. Annoying.

Passes zoo swathes of bubble wrap to wrap herself in before waking DD2.

Right getting up now. Wonders what today will bring. Hopefully quietish morning but have busy afternoon. Rugrats today😄 they are cute. Not so keen on the one who told me I look old last week. Keep your opinions to yourself young man!

HillsBesideTheSea · 16/03/2018 08:43

zoo don't be a daft sod. Head injuries are far more pressing a concern than having to be one of those parents! and i certainly managed to ruffle more than a few feathers last night I am very glad that ds is ok. It is such a worry when they have had a head bump - even more so when you can't be with them.

Still feeling super burnt out but having to borrow spoons from next week as I have a whole heap of stuff that has to be done today and this weekend plus the end of overtime is apparently not yet. I will be incredibly glad when the end of year shenanigans are over with! Today will be a flying kinda day because I have to get everything tidy ready for more furniture moving so we can get some plasterers in for quotes for doing a room. Lounge looks like a laundry bomb has gone off it in it currently Blush

afresh sorry you have had another crap night/early start. They are so wearing. is ds still tired? could it be he is just waking up because he is hungry and if fed something he would go back to sleep? Or do you have him very routined that food = up?

foxes hope dd and you both are feeling better and you are not suffering too much from cabin fever.

Apparently we are due snow again this weekend. It can fuck off. I am not having it. so nerh yeah like i get to make decisions over what the weather is doing

Thanks hills I'm feeling so rotten myself that I'm not that bothered that we can't go out although going out would probably make me feel a bit better I suppose.

Anyway, dd spots are starting to heal but we're not quite done yet. They are actually playing nicely together this morning and we haven't even got the tv on ShockGrin it won't last but I'm enjoying it for the time being! Dd is leading ds in a game of picnics , it is very sweet actually she's helping him pack his picnic in a tiny suitcase and now he is happily carrying it around the house!

Cagliostro · 16/03/2018 09:34

I am tangry today. That’s the tired equivalent of hangry.

Afreshcuppateaplease · 16/03/2018 09:40

I like tangry!

It was his teeth this morning hills He is not a child who will go back to sleep once awake. He just gets angry and LOUD. Dont want him to wake dd as she awful when tired so i end up bringing him downstairs.

foxessocks · 16/03/2018 10:28

Afreshcuppateaplease · 16/03/2018 10:31

Me too foxes

Ds has been asleep since school run. Ive just had a bath and its made me sleepy

HillsBesideTheSea · 16/03/2018 12:03

I like tangry cag
afresh i had a none sleeper so totally understand that but feeding ds for me was the difference between 2 hrs sleep for the night and 4hours some times so it was worth a shot.
Foxes bless them. Hope you feel better soon though!

Urgh is the word that summarises my day. It started with the shock of people doing things in the wrong order that threw out what I had planned to do today, I am glad that they understood this came from a place of extreme tired and ignored it. My to do list has been facilitated and I am being motivated by things being done for me. Sometimes the people can be fabulous. sometimes they just drive me potty Ta da list will be fairly large later though Hmm

foxessocks · 16/03/2018 14:10

Big box mini gingerbread men
Big box Cadbury creme eggs
Big box chocolate shortcake
Oranges
Apples
Grapes
Milk
Bread
Sausage rolls
Bunch of flowers

I'm not complaining obviously as very lovely treats and flowers but he did forget the ibuprofen after all that!! Makes me smile.

To do
Make dinner - burgers, corn on the cobs , chips

Afreshcuppateaplease · 16/03/2018 15:41

foxes i am sure if you started a thread someone would advise LTB

foxessocks · 16/03/2018 17:36

afresh they probably would! But in the real world I prefer shed loads of chocolate stuff over ibuprofen anyway Grin

I've had a stupidly busy week and got another one ahead of me but I am still flapping in a wanna be flying kind of way.
