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 💐 😘

I woke at 5
Ds3 woke at 6
Typical

Oh how annoying ive 😡
Hope DD’s better soon sc

I’m awake and extremely bleary eyed and achy! I have two hours before we are picked up though so hopefully can get stuff done. Will start with laundry. And can get the Caglets to do a little work before we leave too.

Always the way ivegot

Ds woke at about 3 or 4 I don't know but he wouldn't go back to sleep so took him into our bed and he had a lovely sleep until 7. I am now aching all over and I don't think I slept for more than 20 minutes at a time with him in there!!

Ta da
Dishwasher emptied and loaded
Washing up
Rubbish out
Dc both ready to leave shortly

To do
Swish and swipe bathroom

bathroom - going to attempt some mould removal! Would like to paint as well but not sure I'll have time today
Clean taps
Make dh birthday cake
Wrap dh presents / write card
15 minutes dc bedrooms (have already done under their beds this week which was pretty grim!)
Declutter bag, purse, car (dust car)
Put dinner in slow cooker - courgette and tomato sauce which I'll do some pasta with later
Buy milk

That's not including dd going to a friend's house later so picking her up, timing ds nap around that, going to an open morning at dd nursery and picking dh up from work later I think I need a few extra hours in today. It's just not going to all happen is it?!

That’s definitely an optimistic to do list foxes! for you and all who need it.

Hills, I don’t know much about your query really but I’ll reply on your thread and at least that will bump it up.

Ta da:-
Girls at school in royal wedding clothes
Dishwasher on
At the vet with cat - not the easiest appointment as she was very grumpy and wee’ed in her carrier so has been reluctantly pampered, cleaned and groomed and we are waiting for a prescription which will cost .

To do:-
Get cat home
Put laundry on
Quick bit of exercise

Busy evening coming up so need to make packed tea and get everything ready for that.

SC, sorry to hear your DD is off, sounds stressful with exams.

Well this morning went well one child with no clean tshirt, one child with no school shoes Thank Fuck Its Friday

Ds3 is napping. Im meant to be doing things but have been sucked in to watching teen mom 2. Love a bit of car crash tv

I’ve posted a fairly unhelpful reply Hills but if nothing else it will bump your thread!

ivegot I'd would totally watch teen mom used to love that but don't think we have the channel for it now as we don't have sky anymore.

Well dd is at her friends and ds is in bed although not yet asleep. I have two hours to basically do everything...well that's minus the time it's going to take me to have a cup of tea and a bite to eat. Think I'll do a power hour after lunch see how much I can get through.

Also dependent on ds sleeping until we leave to get dd!

Thank you stressy I fear that there isn't really an answer that anyone knows to the questions and I might just go with my gut and securely dispose of the lot.

Good luck getting everything done foxes

Ds has been taken off the melatonin so he was sleep walking pretty badly last night. No recollection of it this morning. But as he kept coming into my room I got a really crap nights sleep so went back to bed for a nap when he left for school. Slept through my alarm and only just woke up so instead of all the things left over from yesterday's list it is a what HAS to get done before we leave in 3hrs. Will be nice to have a nice relaxing weekend though, looking forwards to it. especially being away from the people and the building work that is due to go on this weekend , sick and tired of building work

Take it steady Foxes you can only do what you can do

Thanks Toostressy dd is feeling a lot better today and a friend is kindly dropping off missed work to her this afternoon. She has 14 end-of-year exams starting early June which determine whether she can proceed on to next year - not automatic here - eek. Hope your cat is OK?

Enjoy your much deserved weekend away Hills!

Glad you are putting your feet up for a bit at least I've

I'm dithering ... I must get on.

Dithering is my middle name sc

I did a power hour (but stopped five minutes early as I was so hungry so a power 55 minutes!)
Ta da
Daily routine
Dinner in the slow cooker
Checked recipe for cake but decided I don't have time today so will make it in the morning
Decluttered bag and purse

Left to do -
Wrap dh presents / card
Buy milk and fruit
15 minutes dc bedrooms
Bathroom taps
Bathroom mould removal - 15 minutes deep cleaning
Swish and swipe rest of bathroom
Declutter / dust car

Ds just woken up which is good timing as we need to pick dd up now.

Say no to dithering!

Say no to dithering!

I would Foxes but I can't decide what to do next!

Ta da
Wrapped presents / card

I feel like I've accidentally slipped into weekend mode and have kind of given up...woops. must do a bit more before dh rings to say he wants picking up.

at all the dithering. I can definitely relate.

Done quite well this afternoon though. Ta da:-
Home bleugh except for hoovering and changing sheets but can change them this weekend or Monday
Tomato sauce cooked for the freezer

We are at swimming and have done DD2’s reading.

To do:-
Take DD1 to a Brownies thing after swimming so busy night tonight
Occupy DD2 but hoping DH will be home
Hoover if time
Figure out tea as ran out of time to sort that and can’t justify takeaway after vets bill.

Done apart from the car! Phew! The mould removal didn't work though. I googled and tried the first thing I found which was bleach on and old toothbrush and leave it on there for a few hours. It didn't do anything. It's just mould round bits of the bath. Maybe I should just buy a mould spray see if that helps.

Anyway what excitement for a Friday night!

Just getting dc to bed then I'm really craving chocolate...

I’ve heard good things about HG mould spray.

Unproductive day here but it was a nice day chatting with friends while the Caglets and their friends wandered round the farm park being all independent. I am bloody knackered though. I find socialising really exhausting even when I enjoy it, and Cagletini is very screechy and clingy ATM.

Another busy day tomorrow. Sigh.

Ta da:-
Hoovering
DD2 reading

Not finished everything but it was a late ish night back from Brownies and then I prioritised the hoovering as at least that is home bleugh finished. Dishwasher is on, laundry will have to be tomorrow. Night all.

Have a lovely weekend hills
Hope DD better now SC
Great lists foxes
Hope bill wasn't too much stressy i had letter yesterday mine are due vaccinations more money sigh
I've can't beat bit car crash TV

[SC totters in to naughty corner wearing furry slippers, Union Jack pyjamas..plonks wonky plastic tiara on head in front of mirror ...pours on cornflakes... ...hangs up red, white and blue bunting, puts champagne on ice, starts prepping cucumber sandwiches ... .]

Thanks Zoo(and Cag and Toostressy earlier) DD is on the mend thanks, blood test fine; just have to feed her up a bit now.

Zoo glad you are feeling a bit more chipper today!

Happy birthday to your dh Foxes!

Long weekend here, so waiting for dh's to land and then we are off to wreck2. Baking cake for farmer friend who is doing us a massive favour in meantime.

30. Bloody hell. I think id be throwing them at people.

By some kind of witch craft ds3 slept til almost 7am. Straight through. Wtf is that all about.

So ive had extra sleep. But still feel crappy. My kitchen smells like fish which makes NO sense.

Yesterday i managed to do a few bits that were not just day to day crap. Cleaned out a drawer of random crap, sorted bath toys, swapped some storage baskets over, but instant pot thing away, wiped down washer and dryer. It felt good. Hopefully can do some more bits today.

Hope all who were under the weather are recovering

Amazing list Zoo @30 empty loo rolls!!

Great decluttering I've hope you feel better soon.

Just turned on telly to see Kate Burley prancing around like a loon. Coverage "has gone to soon" methinks. And who are these bods who sleep for three days on the pavement - each to their own of course - but do they not have lives to attend to?

And how do they wash/go to loo. [Puzzled]

Oh yes - forgot - made pastry for bakewell tarts
