Brand New FLYbabies - Shine your sink.... NOW!

150 replies

Flamesparrow · 14/05/2007 11:39

Right, so the new group of baby steppers begins.

Start with babysteps I am thinking we all need to have done up to babystep 7 by the end of the week. If you want to do more than one in a day, then feel free, but don't level up as it were (DH plays online games ) until we are all there!!!

If you are feeling all confident and enthusiastic, then do Kelly's Mission for the day too.

Mission for the day

Have fun! I've gotta work for a couple of hours, then I'll come back and update on my progress

BettySwallocks · 16/05/2007 19:28

I would love to shine my sink.

clutteredup · 16/05/2007 19:32

hello BS, come fly with me i think we're alone now my sinks a bit shiny but I've had a bad day, haven't even got my shoes on. For all explanations see flamesparrows link, shiny sinks is good. []

BettySwallocks · 16/05/2007 19:33

I'm sorry but I don't understand any of what you just said.

BabiesEverywhere · 16/05/2007 19:46

BS Just visit this link to learn about FLYing

BettySwallocks · 16/05/2007 19:47

What a joyful site that was! I certainly wish I could F L Y!

Flamesparrow · 16/05/2007 19:51

Ooh yay for home edding Sorky!!! Been emailin you

All fallen apart here... DD got croup and quite poorly (or ill for those anti poorly).

Not got a lot done, sink covered in dishes

List halfway up my arm of work work to do, so dunno if any housework will get done.

I'm tired

glassslipper · 16/05/2007 19:51

my sink is clean and shiny

I have got both DDs clothes ready for tomorrow.

I have drunk water.

The rest of my house is a tip

BettySwallocks · 16/05/2007 19:52

This website is probably not good for housekeeping though is it? How do you manage to clean so much and come on here? I would love to get more cleaning done, my sink is full of cat hairs.

Flamesparrow · 16/05/2007 20:08

Just 15 mins here and there - it soon adds up

clutteredup · 16/05/2007 21:39

sorry to hear about uoir dd flamesparrow, hope she feels better soon at least you know it wasn't nasty germs from your shiny sink that made her poorly (yes i do use the p word)
shusssssh up betty you do realise that the internet isn't real, we are doing virtual flying here everyone knows youcan't have a perfect house and be a perfect mumsnetter
of course i am doing the flying thing properly, my shoes just fell off today - tomorrow i am off to buy lace ups

glassslipper · 16/05/2007 21:40

flame - xposted earlier. hope your dd is better soon.

sorkycake · 16/05/2007 22:35

Aww! hope she feels better soon It's a pig, croup is. You must be knackered Flame. Wishing you a peaceful nights sleep. x

Flamesparrow · 17/05/2007 07:47

I can give you more (I think it was that anyway)

if you fancy a mission

Go drink some water.

Think about dinner - take out meat if you need to.

DD still very unwell. The cough has turned into more of a normal one than the bark, but her temp is still up and she feels very hot all over. She keeps crying out with tummy ache too but I think that's pulled muscles.

Didn't even argue about not going to preschool which shows how rough she's feeling

I've had sod all sleep, I didn't do my sink before bed and it now looks like hell.

Hopefully attack it all a bit later.

TheMaskedPoster · 17/05/2007 07:59

Oh flamesparrow
hope your DD feels better soon
it's horrible when they aren't well

I will do my FLY and sort out dinner etc .. but may I ask what on earth is this lace up shoes business? Surely one is not expected to wear sneakers around the house ....?

Flamesparrow · 17/05/2007 08:06

Many do

I feel all clumpy with shoes on and hate it. I tried wearing big fluffy boot slippers for a while... but they got soggy at the line

OP posts:
TheMaskedPoster · 17/05/2007 08:09

oh dear oh dear oh dear

I fear I will never be a true FLY-er then. (no chance at wearing such things around the home at TMP towers!)

Ah well, I will have to excell in all other areas to make up for my sneakerless-ness

right, I am off to sort out dinner

catch you FLY ladies later

sorkycake · 17/05/2007 08:57

Beef out of freezer ready for Chilli tonight.
Washload in, one finishing in the tumble dryer ( at this rain, I like line drying).
Have a letter to post
Ironing to put away.
Didn't do my medicine cabinet yesterday so will do that today and the babies clothes need reorganising cos I can't find anything.
Check me out...I'm eating porridge with berries in it for breakfast. I really need to eat better so I'm doing that body clutter as well. Anyone joining me?

Flamesparrow · 17/05/2007 09:08

I have a line full of wet washing... sooo much wetter than when I put it out yesterday

ok, so maybe it was tuesday...

clutteredup · 17/05/2007 09:40

hey you lot well done, esp you flamesparrow with sick dd ,n o sleep and helping our flying, hope dd improves (((())))) my sink is shiny again - sorry , just can't do the shoes thing, i am a foot nudist by nature - i did have water first thing and thats really helped - and put a washload on, probably will need to rewash last one , forgot it was still in the machine . will try to ba a better flyer 2day, think i need the body clutter one too sorky after shameful affair with toblerone yesterday

sorkycake · 17/05/2007 09:45

That sounds fab...a shameful affair with a Toblerone. I'm pretty sure that's as close as Dh comes to adultery LOL.
I've not paid for anything on the site, as if. I downloaded the body clutter investigator and it sits on my desktop, reminding to do good things, a little checklist if you will.
Well done Flame, for even getting out of bed this morning. I'm off to buy a easy-jammy nappy from you and some more woollypants

Flamesparrow · 17/05/2007 09:55

I love you

Wool is preorder until 21st

glassslipper · 17/05/2007 12:36

Hi everyone.

I managed to sort out the washing, dishwaserh, S&S bathroom and do some ironing this morning. It all went to pot after that as we've been out all morning.

sorkycake · 17/05/2007 14:38

Just got back in! Washing all switched round. How are you feeling Flame, is Dd any better?
