Flying Fakers come what May! Come and join the half-arsed Fledglings as we post our To Do and Ta Da lists and get our houses just a tiny bit tidier...

[Cagliostro]

Or try to anyway!

All welcome! I am struggling to stay awake so I’ll do the proper thread stuff tomorrow, but if you’d like some encouragement and chat while you get your house sorted then this is the place for you. We follow flylady in a delightfully lax sort of fashion.

Special thanks to zoo for the title idea 💐 😘

Foxes if desperate to make banana cake can roast oven til skins are black?

I WILL have something productive I've to type later possibly

Oooh wait,I've empty kitchen bin n littertray been cleaned...

Wait what? I have always used yellow bananas to make banana cake

I have no idea

I cant make cake

Holiday is booked! So that is one big thing off the to do list for this week!
Now to find all the car paperwork for getting that sorted.

In an unlikely turn of events I have spent a lot of time this afternoon browsing textbooks 😱😱😱 our home ed ‘style’ is changing so fast I can barely keep up. But yay!

It’s a very proud day as DD also got the bi-annual progress award at gym. ⭐️

I have done absolutely fuck all today though.

Thanks for the tip zoo didn't get time today but might do tomorrow. They just don't mash well for cake if they are yellow/green hills proper yellow would be ok brown yellow is best I do like a banana cake!

Two of dh surprise birthday presents have been spoilt as he has found out what they are...I am blaming him and his dad for being unorganised but it's probably my fault really! but humph.

hills get better flavour if spotty,nearer to buggered brown the better(and can add less sugar because sweeter)

My plan do more failed as my motivation is no where to be seen

I have officially crash n burned

Lil zoo n D's eating gluten free pasta with green beans

I've eaten so much crap and finding it very very hard get off my junky habit
Why is taking care myself so much harder than everyone else?

cag congrats to your dd that's great!

Cags congratulations to DD
Zoo I was at the doctor yesterday and she recommended Evening Primrose for my sore boobs. She's really lovely, put up with me going in with a list. I very rarely go so had ended up raising 3 minor niggles that weren't worth going for individually.

Bugger all organised flying this week, but more bedroom furniture built for DD and subsequent moving round of chests of drawers into different rooms with the end result of a crappy plastic set and bookcase being cleared out.

Almost back of top of the laundry mountain and the ironing pile is currently clear so I'm still feeling productive.

All ready for residential home classes on Friday and next week.

Ah see i make my banana cake with honey not sugar so use less anyway, also agree with the yellow yellow not on the green side of yellow. But then i just hit it with a rolling pin and smash with a fork imaging it is someone who has pissed me off a lot recently.

Holiday/new job clothes shopping done (less than £50 for all the bits - winning!) was a proper giggle as went with a friend.

Morning,
Well yesterday wasn't a day off at all so I got nothing done re the house except swish and swip in the morning.
I am invigilating for SATS at the moment so went in. Conversation left me there longer than I needed to be as one thing lead to another. Went to supermarket to buy cake ingredients had to return to school because of something and traffic slow on way home due to road closed and traffic light for road works in three places! Had lunch at 2:30 in the car and cup of tea in garden when I came home then baking. Making H&Ms wedding cake🙊🍰👌shhh! Some buns for SAT party.DD phoned and I burnt last ones, just. Tried one and it is just top so will cut off and ice today or jam and cream. I have one of those things that make hole in them. DD was on phone for ages about plans for coming home then travelling for a year. Hmm! I thought they were settled. So didn't get any housework done other than washing up I created by baking. This weekend I am helping BFs son move as the keys only given today and new baby arrived Tuesday night. Poor lass she was hoping to be in over a month ago. So thinking I should get up now and get cracking.

Love banana cake great for those over ripe bananas. Now kids have left home we have them sometimes though they are often my breakfast when I am running late/ don't feel like breakfast.

Pointy stick needed to get me out of bed. Feel tired/ lacking energy.

cag aw that's lovely.well done DD

Aw thanks all.

Good morning

Busy day here, the others have gone off to trampolining so I need to get the baby ready and go to town - need picnic food for tomorrow, and a party outfit for Saturday. I HATE clothes shopping and it’ll be even harder this time as it needs to meet the (thankfully simple) dress code AND be breastfeeding friendly. FML. This is why I live in jeans and t-shirts!

Got an absolutely batshit crazy few days ahead.
Aforementioned shopping today followed by Badgers later (will come home in between). Badgers is much harder work now that Cagletini sleeps less in the buggy and wants to eat everything in sight!
Home ed trip tomorrow, just a play farm type thing and thankfully getting a lift, plus there will be lots of willing baby holders.
Friends coming on Saturday, will have lunch out. Then aformentioned party, don’t know everyone that well, so a bit nervous. Need to sort card and present (will do a gift card as she’s just moved into her own place).
Sunday, DD’s ballroom thing. Several hours in a hall. Even DD finds it a bit much TBH. I would send DH but he’s working.
Monday I have a lesson first thing so also need to somehow find time to prevent the living room reaching critical status again!

Also need to make a decision on textbooks today so we can start next week. Eep.

Well done zoo xx
