Morning Guys.

I was awol yesterday as DD2 has another cold. And now has cough too.

I like babysteps day 28 and it cvame at the right time as I couldnt possibley add anything new today.

I now have morning, afternoon and evening routines so just need to keep looking at them and doing them

I know we talked about going on the main FLY thread. Jas - do you think we can get it more 'FLY' oriented? I'm a bit worried that without the 'babysteps' focus that I might fall off the wagon again and I dont want that to happan.

Sorry if anyone has any significant news but I havent caught up.

Btw, BP - saw your comments on new fly person thread and very glad I brought you back into the fold

And I can spell, honest. My keyboard seems to be playing up

Good morning....will be back when the drugs make me feel semi-human....

BabyPowder I think the bed opposite me is empty...but I warn you my bed is incredibly squeaky and every time I move I wake up the whole ward .

I am happy with todays mission...my bathroom is carpeted so doesn't need mopping

Morning,

Hope people are feeling a wee bit better today.

FGS - my sympathies re dd2's cough & cold. I think ds is starting with a cold too. I'm trying to decide whether to take him to music group thingy or not. Apparently, we've had a severe weather warning for Manchester, so we might just stay snuggled up inside today. Ho hum...

Morning routine done, so I've got a bit time for another cup of tea and MN. Babysteps are working so well for me that I have had no washing to do for the last two days. Am going to rearrange drawers upstairs later. I took 6 bags of clothes to the charity shop last week, but still don't have enough storage .

Glad that other people are feeling the benefit too .

Morning. God we need 2 FLYhospitals I think. I am feeling a bit hot this morning and my tolerance is not as it would normally be. We are running behind, as I have just dealt with my first tantrum from my 2 year old (40 mins) and all because he wants daddy - who is at work.

Bigbeer hope your night went well

FGS Maybe we could make sure that those who want to, do a baby step list...and we keep the routine reminders up on the main FLY thread...I'm sure the others won't mind.

I did all my morning routine this morning, and will get cracking on the afternoon bit now I am back from toddler group. I was hoping we could bring the regular FLYthread back to proper FLY routines by just talking about it and doing it ourselves.

I'm very happy today.....I have just recieved a huge parcel frrom Mattell.I go the replacement toys after sending Poly Pocket back. I chose a big garage for ds, so I am going to keep it and give it to him for Christmas. The girls didn't eve notice the PP missing.
I sent three sets back (all incomplete, including one which only had one piece from the entire set), and hve been credited the full amount.
Thanks bewilderbeast, Simply and whoever else brought it to my attention earlier

So many poorly people on this thread! That hospital must be getting seriously overcrowded. At least it won't be harbouring MRSA. Get well soon everyone! Hope it's not catching...

Had a fab time at Prince. I so would (but he wouldn't!!). He's soooooooooo sexy.

.

Ok so I have caught up on reading the Babysteps (but not all the chat, sadly) afer my DD/my trip to the Fly hospital.

Need some advice/explaination as I seem to be confused now [pretty please emotion]

So when the babysteps are over (day 31 is it?) are we joining the main FLY thread?? I'm with FGS on the needing Babysteps to preven falling off wagon (although extended illnes and accidents did it for me, well off the wagon I'm afraid)

Would someone PLEASE list where we are on the morning, afternoon and evening routines??
I know it's a pita, but I'm beeing needy and useless.

Morning

1. Get up and weight
2. Get dressed to the shoes, fix your face...

etc

I've spent so much time catching up, that I'm not getting any stuff done.

Today I have done a 15minute crisis clean up (or whatever it's real name is) on Kitchen, Hall and sitting room - I'm just having my 15 minute break before I go and collect DS from nursery.

Sink is shiny,
loaded DW
loaded WM/hung out washing
got dressed to the shoes (not in this order obviously)
painted 2nd coat on new hall bench/storage (the FLYzone of the Hall/entrance made me realise I needed different storage to make it tidy - no wonder the kids dumped everything on the floor they couldn't reach the pegs)

Although I am not FLYing at all well, I am trying - I cannot do it when my DS is home (I have to admit that I was cleaning the kitchen when he cracked his head open last week )so it is limiting my time somewhat. It has helped me start to 'love my home' again, hence the new hall furniture amd even considering a lick of paint for entrance.

Thanks for the support you FLYers.

I jolly well hope I don't get MRSA at teh FLY hosp....wh is the propriter, who would I sue? Jas?

Well I am struggling to perk up today. Walked to the butchers to sort tea (a la yesterdays babystep) and felt so rubbish wasn't sure I was going to make it home. I have the school run to do at 3 and that is 3 times as far and uphill . I must go and pop some more pills I think....

I am glad you enjoyed Prince, not sure it is for me though.

Jas - I am just trying to decided what I want from teh very limited replacements catelogue from Mattel, mine arrived this morning and I am uninspired.

@ bigbeer can't say Prince is my cup of tea either....Johnny Depp....on the other hand...
