reminders

Today is famly fun day. There is no mission, you are supposed to be relaxing and spending time with your chldren

Both dds are ill now DD1 was up at 5 not able to breathe, so we are going to have a quiet day in.

Ludaloo Have a lovely day today, happy birthday to your ds, and I hope they enjoy the party

Bigbeer and Babypowder ....you both have very impressive lists of stuff which is all (or almost all) done.

Did you et into tat kitchen cupboard Madhouse? SMS I like your laundry plan. It wouldn't work here. The airer is a last resot as I have no space for it, and once I hav a smaller bathroom, I will have to have it in my bedroom if I use it at all.
Ihave yesterdays washing on the line, and a load in the machine, but I can't find the back doo key, so I can't get to it I think dp must hav put it somewhere "safe"

I hope you had a nice day off blossomsmine

I got my new table yesterday, so Ineed to decide what I am going to do with all the old chairs (the old tabl is going ito the loft)
I have filing and bed changing to o, but intend to spend most of the day cudling the girls. (DD1 is not a cuddly child and it is nice to be wanted, DD2 is the cuddliest child in the world and just wants to be on my knee all the time)

I'm here, I think we should create a FLYlady/baby ward.

Today I shall be having a quite day as I am joining the ward, along with DD3 ...

Still I finished washing hte inside of my conservatory windows yesterday....must go and finish my washing I suppose seeing as DP is faffing about with the DW & car ready for lunchtime when he could be helpingme [[grrrr]

FunkyGlassSlipper · 15/09/2007 10:03

Morning all. I feel rough today so not doing anything. Promise to cath up soon.

SlightlyMadSweden · 15/09/2007 10:05

are you joining us the FGS ?????

FunkyGlassSlipper · 15/09/2007 10:07

SMS - You've lost me?

Jas · 15/09/2007 11:04

In the FLY-hospital, with DDs 1 and 2, SMS, and her dd3

I've cleaned out dps car for him so when he gets home he will have no excuse not to start wok straight away.

I've also put the old table in the loft (and been told off by dp for going in the loft when I'm the only adult in the house)

ah yes. Brain a bit slow. I thought it was a maternity ward and got slightly confused

babypowder · 15/09/2007 12:09

Bigbeer I haven't sold my shares yet, although I need to do it before mid-Oct. I don't really have the brain for this kind of thing, but I'm hoping that the Fed cuts rates next week, which might bolster the market enough. Who knows.

When I go back, I'll be doing the full 5 days a week, although I am lucky enough to be able to work from home a day or two a week. Its not so bad. (wobbly )

Gosh, it's hard to stick to routines when DH is around.

SlightlyMadSweden · 15/09/2007 13:38

Am still here.....my lkemsip has perked me up. Have even managed to finish cleaning all of the inside windows (have been doing a bit here and a bit there all week). I can see the outside world!!!!!

DP has just taken our old DW & fridge to someone we are giving them to. So that makes the kitchen & conservatory look a lot better .

We still have a spare freezer here though as the new one isn't working and we have to wait a couple of weeks until we get a replacement. I am not compalining though as we are returning an ex-display model and will be replaced with a brand new one .

I suppose I had better go and wake DD3. She crashed at about 11am and hasn't had any lunch yet.....

FunkyGlassSlipper · 15/09/2007 15:09

I've slept all afternoon. DH has taken DD1 and DD2 out to park so I can continue my rest

harleyd · 15/09/2007 15:10

i have been hiding from you lot last 2 days
having a rugby weekend, will see you monday

blossomsmine · 15/09/2007 20:53

Evening everyone
Sorry your littles ones are poorly Jas, hope they feel better soon, and eveyone else who is suffering aswell.
Not done too much today i know it is family day but i really need to catch up abit.
Done morning routine and the food shopping and some ironing. Spent the rest of the day running two of the kids around from place to place. Still got to go and pick the last one up at 9.30pm...i quite fancied a soak in the bath. Beware this is what happens when your kids get older, you just spend all your time as a taxi.....
Hope to pop in tomorrow, hope luda's party went well

harleyd · 15/09/2007 22:18

jas hope your lot are well x just glanced at thread earlier
