Friday Fly - Preparing for the weekend

[TheMadHouse]

Mission

day 16

Morning TMH hows things?
is your Mum feeling better?

Got lots to do today will try to get lots cleared as we are away for the weekend.

Any tips for switching DS2 from bottle to cup for his milk - the teats don't flow fast enough for him any more but he doesn't want the cup either.

Morning All

I hope all the little ones are feeling a bit better:

Tort Hope you had a decent nights sleep and the couging stopped

FGS Enjoy your duvet day, lots of disney DVDS and cuddles

Bianca Hope you are feeling a bit better. DH took the papers in today to copy so I will post them tomorrow

Groucy I bought DS1 some omega 3 caps

Ruby, *Simply and other flyers that are not feeling they are on top od this - that is the beuaty of fly you can catch up a little time makes a lot of differnce

Shanna Hope everything goes OK

Dream I love the science museum

waves to everyone else.

I am going to music and movement with the mads this morning and then to a friends for a playdate after DS2 wakes up.

I need to clean the sofa and tdo regular friday jobs.

I managed to get all the ironing done last night, I just have the mads to put away this afternoon and the spare bed to make.

How old is DS2?

I have a tomy tippe thing that we used for DS2, which is a cross between a bottle and a cup - I am more than happy to post to you, as we have no more use of it.

Mum is still feeling sorry for herself and I have posted an update on Little L update

Morning TMH and thanks for the thread

I still have ds off school poorly. He's been really quite poorly over-night
Dd has gone to school but was complaining her throat hurt (there was no evidence of this though...) Hopefully she'll be OK.

I'm feeling very tired and run down so am hoping for a lazy-ish day today. I've just set up the ironing board so am going to get the ironing out of the way then I have a story sack to make for the school

The bathroom is a bit of a no-go zone at the moment after we discovered water had been leaking under the bath and has started to make the ceiling paper bubble in the living room! The bath panel is now off and there are several towels soaking up the water under the bath! This may be the shove we need to finally get the bathroom finished off properly (it's been almost 5 years since we added it onto the house and it's still bare plaster!) We just don't have the £ at the moment
Anyway, the mission is out of the question for the time being, but will need doing once dh has investigated further.

I sorted dds desk earlier in the week (or was it last week?) and ds doesn't really have room to accomodate a hotspot so I can skip that mission too

Hope everyone is well - see you later x

Morning All

TMH thanks for the thread & links
jingleyJen We had the same problem with ellie. So we tried several cups. The only one she would drink from is an Easiflow Insulated (12 months +) Tommmee Tippee. Good luck with that. Although she will have her milk at night from a bottle?

Had rubbish day yesterday, very weepy. Then had sad news about my friends dad. THe hospis & macmillian nursers where being brought in. Then last night he was admitted to hospital with breathing difficulties. I so saddened by this

Anyway I must get a grip, read yesterdays thread & get on with it today! Hope you & your lo's are all ok

x posts, hi *Jen

Off to read the update on bay Lincoln x

Hi everyone - I follow Flylady, but don't normally post on this thread.

But yesterday I got my Flylady feather duster!!!!!!!!!!! And it is lovely!

I also got the timer and the rubba scrubba but haven't really tested those yet.

Duvet day starts here Might catch up later x

x posts bianca take it easy. Hope dd is ok & that ds has a speedy recovery. can you claim on your house insurance damage due to water ingress? Check the policy wording, or just call Insurers they will let you know if you are covered. Hope you have a good day.x

sorry about double post. ellie was trying to help
isaidno enjoy your duster
FGS enjoy your duvet day.[Smile] hope dd1 is feeling less poorly?

DS2 is 14 months, I wasn't in a hurry to get rid of bottles but he is getting frustrated with the slow flow of the Tommee tippee bottles.
We have a nuby sippycup he just seems to play with the spout. Argh!

I am pleased there is some positive news about the little man will continue to pray for him and your family.

Hope your Mum isn't driving you mad today.

Bianca hope your DS recouperates with a duvet day
FGS enjoy your duvet day !

Jen It has a teat in the top, a bit like a bottle, although it is a lot faster. DS2 now uses the sippy cup, but this started him. we found he just bit the hard top. He is 18 months

Morning everyone

ehm sorry to hear about your sad news Sending you happy vibes for today.

House is remarkably tidy! Going to do a bit of work with the girls (dd3 and dd4's reading coming on a treat). dd1 and dd2 have being doing a bit of Geography and actually enjoying it so think they may continue with that today.

Also have another exhibition starting in two weeks but it has to be all new artworks. So have set myself the task of having two new paintings to submit. Better start the first one today. Haven't got the faintest idea what they are going to be though...

Best get on. Have a good day everyone. It's FRIDAY YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Hello Ladies

THM Thanks for the link re Little L

DDIBI It's a Kirby, and a recon at that. They are expensive but very worth it. We had one for 12 years and DH killed it by hoovering up a sock in his office (FFS). We looked at others but we'd been spoilt and nothing felt as good so We went pricy again . MIL spends about £250 every 2 years or so on vacs that burn out, break up etc so in the scheme of things the Kirby isn't a bad investement really.

Hark at me, prattling on about a vac!

DH is at home atm so I intend to take it well steady. Ed is at school, Coffee morning attended. Morning routine done. I'm listening to my body and I need to STOP and CHILL OUT

DH went to Tesco to get supplies and he says he'll collect Ed so no panic and I can just potter. Listening to Arcade Fire and it is pretty good stuff.

Oh, good vibes to EHM and her friends and family

Adding my vibes to ehm Much love

Morning all

Grouchy How much !!!
Bianca hope the ceilings ok !

Have
sorted dd/ds room
Cleaned kitchen
put away ironing
paired up socks
hot spotted living room

Am out tonight (pta "christmas" dinner) so want to leave house tidy so dh can't complain I'm swanning off with my mates again

and good vibes for ehm from me too

I'm still plodding through the ironing - there's not that much of it really but I've been interupted constantly by ds needing one thing afer another! He so has me wrapped around his finger!

I've manged to find another mum to bring dd home from school so that's a weight off my mind.

EHM I missed the news about your friends dad earlier, sorry to hear about it x x
yadda think ceiling is still sound thank goodness, but we need to seal the bath (well, we need to source the leak first, we think it's from the over-flow - we all like deep baths )

Better go and make ds some lunch - he thinks he'd like a boiled egg....

Off to horseriding in a sec,

Been frantically raking through our photos for inspiration for the two paintings I have to do...

If anyone has some nice photos that I could use for reference material, I would be so so so SO grateful! Would give you a print of the painting once it is done...
