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.

zoo I thought your pud said peas and custard not pears! I was thinking you really are a creative cook!!

Ta da
Picked up dd
Gave ds pasta for lunch and dd a dippy egg

Nothing else achieved as ds took ages to go down for his nap for some reason he got himself worked up in a right state. I keep thinking everything is the start of chicken pox!

sc definitely send them to the shop so at least your dd is aware that you are having to adjust things for her! Tbf my mum is very much my friend now but as a teenager...not so much! I mean we did get on but we also fell out a lot. And teenagers are often selfish they don't really understand until they grow up and realise being an adult is quite tricky. I'm speaking from experience there!!

foxes peas and custard is a bit to flamboyant even for the relatively adventurous zoolet taste buds!!

SC deffo send to shop for you.as I always say "wanna eat it help carry it"-pointedly we don't have a car so works wonders

Carrot and cranberry cakes in oven.hoping it's ready before need get lil zoo!!

zoo my dd used to love carrots and custard up until age about 2! love the sound of your carrot and cranberry cakes!

ta da
iced my orange cakes and dd helped decorate
emailed a couple of dental practices for information

Thanks Foxes that gives me hope for the future !!

Desperately trying to think of gluten free pud (they had mango and pineapple slices for pudding at lunch). Daren't risk shop bought ice cream ... .

Yum to carrots and cranberry cake!

Can I join please? I normally write to-do lists anyway so I might aswell share it on here. Plus i'm known for liking a chit chat

Got any ground rice SC?I have a gf banana cake recipe that's made with ground rice

Or rice pudding,blancmange,custard and bananas.....

Welcome strawberry, you're in the right place for chat good to have you with us.

I went to craft class this morning and had a fab time. Not much flying. DD has a busy week so tonight and tomorrow will be a bit lively, can't wait for Friday night when the worst of it is all over!

Will catch up properly tonight. See you later.

Evening all

Welcome strawberry

I am no contact with my mother so no best friend photos here!

Oh and felt sick early on today but not since so an improvement but still odd. Meh.

Are you taking pleasure in my feeling crap zoo I wouldnt be surprised tbh if the feeling sick was a fun new side effect of the LARC

A warm welcome to Strawberry1122!

Sorry, didn't get back to see your message in time Zoo but thank you very much for it! It'll be useful for next time (although I have to confess to not being very good with dairy/wobbly food) much to dh's disappointment. In the end they bought sorbets from the supermarket.

Phew; I am bush-wacked. Including the shopping that took all day from 10.15 am onwards until 7.30 pm just now. (In between lunch and dinner they needed help with writing a presentation for their English lesson.) And what with the endless giggling/shrieking... . [Reaches for woolly slippers.] Just need to pick dd up from theatre this evening at 10pm but hoping dh will be back in time to do that ... .

Waves to Cotswold!! herewith to power you through the rest of the week, cos I know you like it [SC proffers special Lenten dispensation]

Shame about the outfit Afresh hope next one works out ... and I didn't have a particularly lovey dovey relationship with my late ma ... she was too scary for that ... so maybe that is why I find it so difficult myself (although I hope I am a hundred times more affectionate/relaxed with dd I might add!). Nevertheless, just occasionally one hears own's own mother speaking from one's own mouth - yaarrrgghh - tis a frightening thing!!!

Zoo ethics class sounds interesting!!

I would never crow at your suffering afresh
I just need a thread baby,my broody feathers are digging in when I have jeans on

Digging in my legs I should add

Thanks all. I do feel more sane now after a nice day - finally had a day with DH, we went for lunch as a family (which involved a walk in the sunshine, at a distance/incline that would have been absolutely impossible for me a year ago, so that was a nice boost), we sat in the park having a chat and then I got some quiet time as DH took DS (who, bless him, has been super hard work lately) to gym with him and DD.

I always feel guilty though when we do something like that as I just think we should be at home getting stuff done!

Sorry I am going awol properly for a while. Can;t keep up. Too many plates and they are all smashing.

Keep good, keep nattering and perhaps consider flying occassionally!

Don't feel guilty Cag you have to grab those moments!!

DH and DD have gone to bed (both shattered) and I am working (sob) - it's going to be a long night... .

(Leaves out stack of chocolate for those in need in the early hrs...).

Hello Strawberry

Pack orders
Ironing

Dinner
Washing up

Had some good news, I'd ordered a sweatshirt from the US in January (wine may have been involved) and ended up taking it to dispute to PayPal as it never turned up. Not only have I got the money back but I've found it in the UK at half the price and it should be here in the next couple of days.

Hills do what you have to to take care of yourself. You know where we are if there is anything we can do or you want to vent

Spent too much time on other threads tonight and searching t'internet. DH is off again tomorrow so will be out and about again.

fresh I hope the sickness eases because it's horrible to feel like that so much of the time. We just want a thread bump again!
