Part 2/ June's arrived too soon! Catch up with the Fledgling Fly thread ... .

[Scoopofchaff]

... continuing from previous thread here.

Good morning everyone!

Terrible night's sleep: mozzies, 3am roadworks , fighting cats, rowdy people shouting drunkenly in the street...ahh.. the joys of city living

Whoknows I hope your dh (and of course you and the DC) are as ok as you can be in such very sad circumstances

Sympathies re: the plantar fasciitis; it always rears it's ugly head when one needs to walk loads doesn't it? I have it on and off. Have just bought plastic roller thing with which to do exercises and some insoles from Amazon, having studied suggested treatments on a v useful thread on here.

Good luck with your early start Hills!

Great list Cag!

[Prepares large vat of and tonic for Goth to drink once the clock strikes 1.15 pm ]

My body took charge. Early start did not happen. And I can barely move this morning. Did get a fairly good nights sleep though which was clearly needed.

Right. Sports club cancelled. Time to actually get shit done. Somehow I am not expecting much though, we are all knackered and achy. But need to make the most of the time.

It just feels like there is so much to do just to keep on top of regular stuff (laundry etc) how can we also get packing and decluttering done! Argh.

Need food before anything else.

WhoKnows I'll add belated condolences, so sorry I missed your post.
And I'm seriously impressed at your 18k steps. That's 9 miles?

That's for the SC am preparing to dive straight in.

DD washed the bathroom radiator & floor last night - so I'm now wondering 1. What does she want? or 1. What has she done?

Ta-dahs
Cat fed
Breakfasts
Swish & swipe
DD to school
Went to Homebase to stock up on bird food - not messing about with small bags these days
Packed orders
Clean clothes away
Collected up all houseplants, took them outside and tidied them up/repotted & gave them all a good water.
Cleaned DD's terrarium
As I now had access to bathroom window (it's full of plants to stop Cat eating them) cleaned all windows & dusted windowsills.

If anyone is interested in green cleaning I can recommend Humble Stuff spray - it contains myrtle and smells incredibly fresh

whoknows
SC I'd be more than miffed think alternate use of firethrower

Doctors was meh.having bloods and ECG done.first app with nurse 3rd July....
He's new to practise but not new qualified.mere suggestion from dp about menopause was greeted with no hot flushes it's not that
No idea what blood pressure was as didn't say,felt tummy,listened heart.said bloods.muttered something about electrolytes test,diabetes,full screen.he may be outstanding for all I know but I personally think he lacks bedside manner!!
Felt very down after as another week to wait for tests then prob another week before round two of what to do next.i impatient to feel betternot helped by heat I think.palpitationa played up in night and are doing so again today.my apetite abandoned me days ago and I can't bring myself to eat anything today which is driving dp up the wall. I tryforce in a m+s iced fruity bun but one mouthful I couldn't eat any more and it made me feel sick..I hate try eat when not hungry and was cross he moaned at me too..he's off to work in mo so left sulk in peace

Thanks Zoo I'm still miffed but trying to channel angst in to angry cleaning . Not really working though!

Sorry doc was meh and you are feeling down . It's good you are having bloods/ecg done though but sorry you are having to wait. I'm obviously not medically trained but surely he can't dismiss menopause reasons until he has studied blood test results? Not all women with menopausal symptoms have hot flushes as well. Take it as steady as poss! Could you manage a bit of soup instead of solid food (not ideal in this weather though I know!).

Goth Great list and I like the sound of Humble Spray. I had a good cackle at DD washed the bathroom radiator & floor last night - so I'm now wondering 1. What does she want? or 1. What has she done?

Mine has gone off swimming with two old ballet friends and one of their older sisters this afternoon so hoping she will expend a bit of pent-up energy!

Hope the day is going ok Hills and Cag!

Waves to everyone else!

Went out for a bit this morning after doing morning routines. Must put my mind to doing something constructive on the decluttering/sorting/tidying front this afternoon.

Well we were sort of productive I suppose. Another wash done and we did get a bit of decluttering done - almost filled a bin bag of rubbish, and two bagforlifes for charity.

I’ve made a list of all DH’s days off until our tenancy here ends - 19 days total as he has taken some leave as well. OMG. Anyway trying to just plan in when to do what. We’ve decided to do Ikea on Monday, in an ideal world I would go on a different day so as not to ‘waste’ one of DH’s days off (as we have so much to do at home) but the thought of going without him and having to make the decisions and manage the Caglets by myself (even if friends or my mum joined us) is just too much.

It's not a bad thing cag (is he allowed a say in any furnishings?! )

I did get little shop done this morning.dp gone.forced in banana.feel rough but place a chuffing tip again so need do something productive til get lil zoo(I have just over an hour to attack SOMETHING)

Ta da

Wash on x3
One load dry sorted and away
Breakfast pots washed
Table cleaned
Highchair cleaned
Picked up shopping
Scanned shopping
Fixed drawer broken by ds3 aka the hulk
Bins emptied
Stripped my bed
Stripped ds3 cot

Trying to motivate myself to iron

I am saving bootcamp for another week ....

Sorry to hear of bereavments, sickness, unhelpful people

He is happy to let me choose tbh (even when it comes to decorating later) but I get totally overwhelmed so don’t want it all down to me!

I’m tired achy and dizzy, not sure if tap class is possible tonight 😡

cag do you have a moving date?

Still respectable tada I've
Bootcamp might finish me off and that's on a good day

Tada
Made jelly for tonight's dinner
Wash on
Wash up
Wiped kitchen surfaces
Swept kitchen floor
Folded dry washing and put away

I frustrated at having to stop for a breather,so might not get anymore done now before school run as need brave for the hour walk in the heat with uphill to school...
SC I've had banana and few salty crisps assuming bit sugar and bit salt might hold me up?!

Forgot to add,dd2 pasta bakesmelt good.im amazed she ate it in the heat last night,but the lure of cheese,pasta,broccoli and courgettes with few kidney beans in was a better option than anything I could be arsed to muster

Tonights dinner-tonights lil zoo and D's be happy with tuna and tomato sandwiches,cucumber and carrot sticks and raspberry jelly with raspberries(I hope)
Dd2-gawd only knows....

No we can go any time until 27th although the sooner the better really. DSS is apparently able to drive a big van on his licence so given that we don’t have a vast amount of furniture we are currently hoping to do it ourselves.

Plan is to get it clean (people booked tomorrow and Thursday) then once the new stuff is built we can move current big furniture over and officially live there while we continue clearing/cleaning current house.

Hoping that on Friday we can move our first lot of stuff over - nothing big, but all the boxes that have already been packed over the last few months (various toys, games, books, Christmas decs). Purely to get them out of this house so we have more space to sort through other stuff 🙄

How’s it going with you, is UP on best behaviour still?

So exciting cag!

Yes he is behaving for now!

zoo make sure you take a drink for school run!

Oh dear! Just catching up with yesterday's thread were I mentioned taking Dgs10 to his Guitar Lesson and it being my best job of the week as I can gaze at Rock God Guy, who is of course his Guitar Tutor, not my Dgs. (although he is indeed a gorgeous little thing).

Ta da
Feed dog and cat
Quick swipe round kitchen
Swish and swipe
Take elderly relative to an appointment.
Strip bed and stick in washer with whites
Lunch
Bedding on line
But of gardening but stopped as too hot

To do
Remake beds
Water new hedge and rest of garden when sun 🌞 goes down
Not much else as too hot.

Waves to Fellow Fledgling! Try to keep cool.......

Long may the good behaviour last Ive did he realize how very serious you were?

Well I have told the Caglets we aren't going to tap. Room keeps randomly spinning. It's the last in the term next week so will prioritize that but it's the last time I'll have to get two buses each way with a huge wait on the way home! New house is ten mins up the road from the class 😂

We will watch Paddington 2 later instead and maybe sort through their clothes as they have some outgrown and tatty stuff. Plus I figured we could pack up some clothes in suitcases and move them over on Friday and just live with what remains here

That's good news I've hope he keeps his ideas bucked up!
Cag that's going to make tap sooo much easier!!we love Paddington 2 too

Forgot my drink(strike one)
Had huge rare up dd2 who caught us up on way home (strike 2)
Totally end up losing my shit when she kept swear ranting after be told not tell lil zoo about a fan fic she's reading that's not appropriate (X3) and still carried on so I confiscated her phone(strike three)

I really don't need the extra stress.whikst dp been here he's been pulling her up,but she senses weakness and is pushing in for the kill.if I had somewhere else to send her for a few days I'd be packing her bags

Gave D's n lil zoo snack(baby cucumbers,rice cakes and ham)
Hung up washing to dry (shedload socks and we have those circular things with a hook and lots pegs hanging off them)
Sat here chest pounding,room spinning and I can hear her wind up lil zoo upstairs
Losing will to live.....

I think lots of tempers are fraying in this heat zoo. I hate hot weather . Goth, I think is a very sensible school holiday plan .

Had quite a productive day. I decided to write down what I was doing during the school day to see where I am wasting time. Actually I haven’t wasted loads of time today, I think I am just unrealistic about what can be achieved.

I now have one of DD2’s friends here for a play date so all tidying in the house is being undone. They have been playing outside but are getting too hot so I have brought them in. I am a massive play date fan but I just find in summer the mess gets everywhere . One hour to go...

I am feeling sick from the heat. Trying to muster the will to get in the car and drive 40mins on a jam packed solid motorway. Strangely enough motivation is lacking on that one. But I promised ds I would get him some short sleeve shirts. They are not allowed to roll up sleeves

Good luck Hills.

Thanks zoo. Everyone was getting too hot so I have put my little pony on the tv for them for the last bit of the play date. Hope friend’s mum won’t mind but didn’t put it in until 6pm and it needed to be done! All 3 girls sitting watching it now so I am running round tidying up. Friend will be picked up in 5 mins or so then I need to put my two in the shower before things degenerate.

Neither at my ds school hills.he's not allowed take his blazer off either(or tie)fucking ridiculous
Dd2(and hopefully lil zoo) goes girls school that whilst not allow roll up sleeves as long as carry blazers over arm they haven't got wear them.or ties if it's blisteringly hot

Mlp is the answer to lots of things stressy

Could you buy on-line Hill's to save yourself the drive? I get dd's short-sleeved shirts from Next EU and they arrive within two or three days. Very good price and wash well.

Extreme heat hasn't arrived here yet but is coming tomorrow apparently. Angry cleaning did not last long and I have not made the most of the relative cool today. Demotivated.

Hang in there Toostressy and Zoo!

Glad to hear your dp is behaving I've.

Spinning rooms doesn't sound good Cag hope you are ok?

arf at tutor = rock God Honky! Sorry for getting wrong end of stick!

Wing flaps to everyone else!

Do not get how they can be allowed to make such rules about blazers etc surely it is dangerous!
