glitter - dont be hard on yourself. enjoy yourself for a bit

I'm a bit disorganised today but have got all stuff ready to put a beef stew in the slow cooker later. When DD2 naps I'll make it.

Need to do lots really. Had 8 people over yesterday so place is in chaos.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all
glitter give yourself a break - you've been doing so well, a week to relax and enjoy yourself won't do any harm I've been slacking too but am planning to be back on track next week.
glasslipper having everything ready to make tonight's supper doesn't sound disorganised to me Have a good day.

I've been up since early so have done dw, cleaned the oven (inside and out), stripped two beds and started to get the kids dressed. We have a friend here this morning for a few hours then another set of friends coming after lunch so the day is looking busy. I hope to get out in the garden at some point today, the weather is beautiful here this morning
Have a good day everyone

numptysmummy · 01/06/2007 11:07

(Nervously knocks on the door)
Can i join please? I really need help.

ludaloo · 01/06/2007 11:07

Pinch, Punch 1st of the month!!!!!
(yes my DH does do that each month...unless I get in there fist...which I did this morning )

Haven't caught up on either threads properly, but hope everyone and their LO are well

Our trip yesterday was ok...we didn't really get affected by the weather as a lot of it is indoors. The kids had a whale of a time but I have to admit I was extremely glad to be home safe and well! The journey was ok, I only got lost once but I struggled all day trying to keep my eyes on all 3 kids! It was packed!!!!!
DD1 (nearly 6) was soooo excited and kept running on to the next thing before we had even caught up to the first thing!!!
DD2 (nearly 2) refused point blank to sit in her pushchair...so I had to walk her around EVERYWHERE! She is at that annoying age where she wants to join in everything but is too small to do it without me climbing on everything with her.
DS (nearly 4) just kept stopping to gawp at pretty much everything he saw!!!! I turned around and pannicked pretty much the whole time as he was miles behind...staring at numerous different attractions!!!
So between DD1 who kept speeding off...DS who kept stopping and ligging behind...and DD2 who was just a nightmare toddling round and refusing to hold my hand or be strapped in (not to mention trying to then push the pushchair one handed and keep one eye on my bags etc)I was bloody knackered and very pleased to get home!!!!!!

Will not be doing it without dh EVER again!

(It was actually our toddler group outing, so there were a few mums on their own with kids...but they managed to do a bit better than me!)

Anyhoo..kids had a good time so I guess that is all that counts

Today I am staying in!!! I have a fair bit of washing to do and I have stripped the beds so they all need remaking.

Have a good day all

yaddayah · 01/06/2007 11:08

aufish see you at 1.30
ehm hope ellie's ok

Ah numpty you see...you have the hang of it already

The FLY site is very good to get tips from. Not many of us really do the WHOLE Fly thing. I do various bits of it....like the hotspots, and the daily mission, and I try very hard to keep my sink shiny (if you haven't done that yet, I would give it a go....most stisfying )

I personally get more inspiration and motivation from these lovely ladies on this thread....a done list and a to do list I find very helpful

ludaloo · 01/06/2007 11:54

p.s....4 LO's (phew I take my hat off to you!! I have 3 and I struggle enough!)

numptysmummy · 01/06/2007 12:32
