SlightlyMadSweden · 28/09/2007 14:08

Ooo I always seem to late...you've all done loads of your routine by the time I get here and I feel all inferior....I feel like handing in my resignation so that I can come and FLY with you all day .

Anyway...I still havn't found my proper routine (its on one of the baby threads somewhere)

Today I have (and bear in mind I didn't finish work until 12:30)

Collected DD3 from nursery
Pop to Co-op to buy peppers for Chilli for tea
cleared drainer and done last nights washing up
Put out yesterdays recycling
Emptied the bin which has been full for last 2 days
sorted washing & put first load in
emptied airer (but still sitting on bed)
thought about todays mission and decided that despite the fact that I have been contemplating it for the last 2 months I don't think I can face it today....

Well off to MN for 30mins before school run

TheMadHouse · 28/09/2007 15:36

Hello fellow FLYers.

I have done morning and lunchtime routine and mission.

I also have baked a bannana loaf, made apple scrumble and leek and potatoe soup for tea. Oh and there is a loaf baking too.

So to to bad a day and yipee its the weekend

FunkyGlassSlipper · 28/09/2007 15:54

Can't really be bothered today.

ludaloo · 28/09/2007 15:56

Hello...have spent the whole day running errands. Back now to do supper....then we will go down to the fair...they have put some little people rides on this afternoon, some teacups, and a train thingy. DD1 is soooooo excited! (if it doesn't rain that is)
There is wrestling on too...a lot of mums are going with their older kids (big fat excuse to watch a bit of toned flesh I reckon )

simply...I am very impressed by the way...your memory is so good! No...I don't drink tea or coffee....I do ocassionally have a glass of water but its just so boring, I don't drink it all the time. I do drink a lot of squash too, and Orange Juice.
(I will keep my eyes peeled for any good looking singers BTW)

Well better get on

DH doesn't know when he'll be home or if he's working this weekend. I can handle him not being around, it's the not knowing that's a bummer. It puts your life into stasis.

It took ds and I almost 3 hours to run our errands in town today

I'm cold and tired now so have been sitting in front of the telly for almost an hour while the kids play on the computer....think we'll continue along these lines for another hour before I make supper....feeling very tired and run down. Hope I'm not going to be ill, we have a busy weekend with work and parties...

I also must appologise for my spelling, I am dislexic and can not spell to save my life

I sometimes think my mind works faster than my fingers too

tortoise · 28/09/2007 19:37

Hi all.
Looks like everyone is doing well with all the lists/routines.

Just thought i would pop in to say DD1 is going to school full time starting monday . means less running back and forth for me so hopefully i will get more done with just dd2 at home.

Nothing else to add really. I do no where near as much as some on here are doing. i can't keep up with all the new names etc!

Will just pop in and say hi from time to time. (still no modem for Broadband )

FunkyGlassSlipper · 28/09/2007 19:55
