Christmas seems so far away now. By heck it's already The First FRIDAY FLY of the year

[Grouchyoscar]

All right, I know what time it is already! I was asleep at 9 last night OK?

Seemed like a good idea to start todays thread

So we need Kelly's Mission (Which reminds me my porch is falling down and we need a replacement )

And Kelly's rather useful babysteps day 4 (And as always I'm running before I can walk )

Might get some sleep, see you all later

And i thought i was the only sad case up at this hour.Can't sleep so am busy procrastinating about the zillion things i should be doing.Maybe a list for starters..
1.Remove all toys back from livingrom to play room.
2.Gather all remaining xmas debris into black bags put in car boot ready for tip later on.
3.Hoover LR quick polish.
4.Do kitchen floor ,shine sink.
5.See if my new dust buster is charged and do stairs.
6.Swish and swipe bathroom .
7.Fold clothes in dryer put next wash on.
8.Wash dress hair and make up (much needed after no sleep).
Right i am obviously not going to get to sleep so if i start now i may get most of it done before the girls get up .Here i go...

Morning Grouchyoscar and squatchette, i was up at 4:30 on T duty but couldn't be bothered to log on, went back to sleep until 6:45 did you get many jobs done before dc's woke up?

Morning routine is in progress, got floors done yesterday but not the hoovering so is on the list for today.

DS has just woken up so BBL.

All done.
Just need to take the bags out to the car just opened the door and it is snowing here at last.
I even managed to take down all the christmas decorations and put them away.Never again will i let the dds loose with that fake snow stuff.I had to unblock the hoover 3 times.
I'm just hoping that the prospect of real snow will lessen the shock of me taking all the decorations away.
It does look a bit empty now ...but i love it.

X-POTED ST ,what's T duty btw?

posted sorry .God i should have gone to bed ,see you all later off to brave the snow.

Making a cup of tea

Morning

Morning Guys.

I got totally lost on last nights thread but did see something about Tort having a birthday soon - when?

And also Tort's need for my routines. Bianca has my email address so if she can send me your details I will e-mail everything to you. I have several email addresses for different things so if she contacts me then I'll remember which one I use for mumsnet

Anyway, DD2 very poorly sick today. She woke at 7 had milk and breakfast and then went back to bed at 8. She is due jabs next week so I hope she is better soon.

Morning routine all done [smug]
Kelly's mission done the other day [double smug]

Keep at it everyone - you're doing great.

And, new flybabies I know the babysteps seem slow but it means you dont feel bad if you miss a day so keep going

Morning you lot

Just woken up. I turned in at 4:15 and slipped back to bed at 5.45 (well Today hadn't stated on Radio 4 so it was before 6). Just been to the loo and I noticed that DH was oversleeping so I woke him up. He's not going to be late for work now

I slipped back downstairs to clear away my nest from last night and send a tip to MN that was on my mind.

'I'm a star, I'm a star, I'm a god damn wonderful star' I've been singing at him He sent me back to bed as Ed is still asleep.

Oh, Ed's up, better play possum

Morning

I was up too, but too cold to come downstairs. All the snow has gone this morning - baaaa. DS1 has a really bad chest again. Back on steriods and Inhaulers.

I am a bad fly this morning, we are not even dressed yet, but DW done, washer adn TD done and I just doing breckfast. Filter changed in the kettle.

I will feed them and then get them dressed, then wake DH up with Tea and get myself dressed (DH last day of hols). Catch you all Later.

Bianca, Luda and Simply enjoy your meet up, I must meet you all too sometimes.

Morning

It seems a few of us had a poor nights sleep....ds woke up at silly o'clock, came in with dh and I and proceeded to be a pest for the rest of the night. Dh had to leave for work early so will be v tired today. I have a horrble tired, woozy headache so will probably be well tested on the "be less shouty" resolution throughout the day.

We're hoping to go and stay with my db this weekend so I need to pack today. I also need to get all the Christmas decs down.

I'll be back later, once we're all up and dressed

x post FGS and GO

I hope DD2 is better soon.

FGS I'll try to remember to email you later x

what is it with the pest thing when they get into bed with you. DS1 is like that too - really trying my patients this morning. I am too trying to be less shouty.

I am not responsible for my mothers happiness

Our problem with ds is that he's really too old for coming into our bed now (4) I have no idea how to stop it though - dd just grew out of it by the age of 2 but ds is still in with us at least twice a week (usually only from 4 or 5 ish but occasionally, like this morning, from much earlier) He fidgetted and whinged all night
It also doesn't help that now I have this laptop and can MN/MSN from bed in the evenings I'm staying up later so am getting tired and grumpy anyway!

No snow here very grey and wet through, not a nice day at all.

Morning All

We all slept merrily this morning until I woke up with a start at about 8 am remembering today is friday and I had to catch the coal man!
I heard a noise outside so lept out of bed to see him climbing back in his coal truck...managed to hang out the window like a loony until he noticed me though!
Bunker now topped up...which is lucky as we were completely out, and it is freezing!

I am not dressed yet, but the washing machine is already on, and I have unloaded the dishwasher.

Bianca...I did have torts address but can't find it anywhere...can I get it off you at the weekend? I think a 30th birthday deserves a rude card also ....April the what tort?

I'm doing remarkably well with my resolutions....
I watched a program last night called the Diet Doctors, very interesting! It studied a lady who needed to loose weight, and gave helpful tips and showed you signs to look out for on your body, that mean you are deficient in certain vitamins etc.
Anyway...it spurred me to start with my healthy eating, so this morning I have had my fruit and fibre.
Did you know there are at least 5 teaspoons of sugar in a bowl of tomato soup
They also said to look out for the ingredients....they usually write the ingredients in order of amount....so if sugar is first or second in the list of ingredients then it is more than likely going to contain a lot of it.
Very interesting.....

Well I had better get dressed, need to nip over the shop, and buy some fire lighters, and then re-light my fire!

OOh OOh, I need to eat better too. But need help as I am crap at food. Have started menu planning but that doesnt make me eat fruit does it...

Oooh FGS we can menu plan together! I am hopeless at eating healthily, and am crap at food too...
We could ask our lovely Fly friends if they have any nice healthy meal ideas!?

Good plan. Shall we start a seperate thread so we dont take up all of this one?

Or should we stay on this one? with friends Not sure....

Menu Plan for me too, happy to follow your lead

Oh.. hmm, well we could start a new thread, that way we can give anyone else who wants them, ideas too

Ok...I have started a new thread Here

Morning all,

dd is an even brighter shade of red this morning!

Made a good start on the morning routines and will look at the mission soon.

I'm trying to sort rather than just hide the clutter so slower work but quite satisfying.

FGS - hope your dd is better soon.

Off to look at menu plan thread (really should be stepping away from PC!)

Have a good day all

Sorry about the slapped cheek tibni. Hopefully she'll be over it soon.
