go I always feel tired just reading your done lists! I hope you remember to have a rest now and again.

I have done a good bit of ironing and carried most of it upstairs and sorted it into piles ready to distribute. I think I'll do another hour of ironing now before starting on tea. In fact, I might get the kids to prepare the veg. Hols have started, I know but I don't want them to just spend time doing zilch.

I'VE FOUND BEWILDERBEAST AND JULEZ (I THINK) BUT CAN'T FIND (oops) Glass slipper using the email I have or rl name?
Tent and sleeping bags have been collected. Shopping done. I need to pack and route plan this afternoon but am going to take the kids out for fish and chips now.

See you later.

Sorry Simply just read your post about slacking. Mee too. I spent way too long on here this morning, but have changed the beds and cleaned the kitchen too. I will tidy and hoover when I get back. I promise not to mention Facebook again

parceltongueisnotgibberish · 20/07/2007 18:07

Aw shouldbe you have my sympathies. Absolutely loathe cystitis. Are you feeling any better?

yaddayah · 20/07/2007 18:42

Hi all

Am avoiding facebook (I don't understand it, and if its half as addictive as MN i'd never be off the computer !)

tort Hope you have a chance to post soon we'll miss you !

simply [grin} at your list
shouldbe hope you're feeling better
julez have a good journey
grouchy good list hope Ed is enjoying his boot camp

grr I've tangled myself up and can't remember half the thread and who i've said hi to so if i've missed you out its me being rubbish waves to all
Have hoovered all of upstairs
Decimated ironing pile
Cleared up kitchen

Need to finish changing beds
Sort stuff out for party tommorrow

Fingers crossed for good weather !

shouldbedoingthehousework · 20/07/2007 18:44

I am feeling a little better, thanks gibberish Have got antibiotics to take and hope they'll kick in quickly. I have bad back-ache tonight which I suspect is my kidneys so am going to have a warm bath and an early night. Bit tired and tearful tbh.

Have done nothing constructive today at all And have eaten badly, trying to comfort myself

Must do better tomorrow.....

FoeGlassSlipper · 20/07/2007 20:12

Jas - I'll find you when i get time

Jas · 20/07/2007 21:09

That was quick Glassslipper Or am I really easy to find?

Shouldbe - Don't be so hard on yourself when you are unwell. Drink lots, eat what you fancy and go to bed. I hope you feel better tomorrow.

I have the tent and some of our stuff ready to go. Bags not packed, route not planned.

I need a bath and early night, too. My sciatica is causing me problems today.

SimplySparkling · 20/07/2007 21:47

Jas How long are you away for? Don't you realise that I fall apart when I don't have enough people to keep me on the straight and narrow? I hope your back feels better soon.

shouldbe I hope you feel much better by tomorrow. I agree with Jas. Take it easy and cut yourself some slack.

yadda If I can't be a good example then at least I can serve as a terrible warning!

go I still feel too tired to read your done list! I wish we could swap houses for a while and then I could come home to find it all done! Don't think of Ed as failing his boot camp (says she struggling to think of a positive) just think that he'll be able to receive the most improved boot camper award by the end of the hols, more than likely, due to a lowish starting point!

Re: trying to find an au pair; am I allowed to turn to drink? Was about to e-mail back a Romanian girl and then had a first e-mail from a British girl who fits the bill just fine if everything she says is true. I very likely have just one month to get the house ready and I will be away for 2 weeks of that time! EEEEEEKKKKK!

Jas · 20/07/2007 22:26

We will only be away one night, but it is a four hour drive to get there, so I want to leave early tomorrow, and hope to get back late Sunday.

I was going to make a ldc to give to grandma (cheap pressie to go with box of fudge and pot of roses (Flowers not chocs!)) but it is a bit late now. Early night seems to have disappeared already.

Evening All am now de stressed and have a very lovely haircut!

Roll on Sunday when I finally get my new washing machine as the washing piles are getting huge and are starting to smell, a week without a machine in a household of 6 and its starting to show! There is also only so much that I can ask my friends to do.

Will be back tomorrow at some point.

tortoise · 20/07/2007 23:11

Went to DD1s pre-school leavers BBQ tonight. They all enjoyed it. Wasn't really a BBQ in the end due to rain .

For some strange reason our local save the children shop is having a one day only xmas in july day tomorrow! So we will be there to see if i can find any bargains for xmas or DD2s birthday next week.

Will catch up again soon.

Jas · 20/07/2007 23:23

Feel a bit glib doing this now but Weekend FLY here

mylastrolo · 21/07/2007 09:07

thanks grouchystar looking forward to going home today just being there. Have to say not that i am a regular flying but i have been really trying of late and getting organised with fly lady has helped as i am all packed now and just leaving the house reasonable for coming back helps. before i would have had no ironing done so the motivation on here has been really helpful for making me cope better. have a great summer and i will be back in 3 weeks now.
