Arg - I have toothache. I have been griding my teeth and have chipped a tooth really badly and now have really bad tooth and jaw ache, so have come down for some painkillers and warm milk in the hope that I can get somne sleep. I am going to try for an emergency dental appointment later in the morning. It is hard going when you have 2 littleones and no one to look after them though. Nevermind.

I hope everyone else has a good nights sleep and is well rested

Morning everyone

TMH 4 u i'm always chipping my teeth, is the worst pain ever. Try holding some salty water in your mouth next to it - warm not cold!

DP has just gone to work, DD woke up and decided it's breakfast time . We will be going back to bed soon.

Morning All

TMH hope you get that emergency dentist appointment & some sleep. I wish I was nearer to help with the little ones & know exactally how that feels.
Shann I am hoping you read this message after being back to bed.
hn hopy you get the help you need with ds & that your fingers are less painfull.

Been up & down most of the night with ellie temp up & down very unsettled. Roll on summer it feels like she has a few days of good health then it all starts again.

Have a good day all.x.x.

EHM · 19/02/2008 05:29

dream hope you enjoyed your time away.
bianca sounds like you had a nice afternoon with the lo's yesterday.

Sorry girls I wont be puttin ribbons on my hair today or wearing makeup, or taking dh a cuppa in bed to wake him. I am a slattern I know!(saga sorry I've stolen it from you but love it)

EHM · 19/02/2008 05:31

grouchy sounds like a really worth while job you have there lady. Glad you are enjoying it, the kids sound as if they are really enjoying having you around. Good for you!

EHM · 19/02/2008 05:31

off to get a cuppa before I take over the thread with individual posts to you all

PuppyDogTails · 19/02/2008 06:40

Morning all - I was coming on to moan about the fact that noone should have to see 5:08am and I see I'm not the only one! DS got back to sleep just as DP got up for work. Hmmm. Not sure that yesterday's jiggery pokery has achieved much then.

Babysteps Day 2 for those who are following them, this is one to get the doubters going!

I feel for you TMH, there's nothing worse than toothache.

Hope you're not still up Shannara!

PuppyDogTails · 19/02/2008 06:45

If I sign up to get the FLY emails, will then come in US time or are the adjusted for GMT?

PuppyDogTails · 19/02/2008 07:05

Ignore me - have found the answer.

DS still asleep, waking and going back to sleep is a vast improvement on just waking.

FunkyGlassSlipper · 19/02/2008 07:40

Morning guys.

HN [chock] about DS1 hitting you. Hope you get the medical treatment you need and the SW can come up with something for him.

puppydog - there is a yahoo uk flky group for more timely reminders. will try and find link later.

off out later as half term and lots of entertaining to do but will do morning routine now....

EHM · 19/02/2008 07:47

puppy you should go back to sleep if lo is still sleep make the most of it.
fgs how is dd1? Is her tummy any better?

sagacious · 19/02/2008 07:52

EHM · 19/02/2008 07:53

morning saga

BiancaCastafiore · 19/02/2008 07:56

Morning

HN at your ds1, I hope some answers are found to end this difficult time. It must be so difficult for you x
TMH hope you get the dentist appt - toothache is the worse. The receptionists at our surgery have taken ds for me once in the past when I had to take him along and he was too small to sit in with me - I hope you find someone to help with your boys
EHM any more viewings? Sorry the couple over the weekend haven't out in an offer. Hope Ellie gives you an easy day to make up for the restless night x
Shanna hope you did get back to sleep!
FGS Enjoy your day

I've had a restless night too but of my own doing for once instead of the kids. I seem to be getting into a pattern of waking at 3.30ish and not being able to get any quality sleep after that. ds came in at 6 and so that was the end of that.

We have the hairdresser coming today - ds isn't looking forward to it but desperatly needs a haircut. I like him with long hair but it's got far too long at the moment.

Right, I need to sort some washing and get the kitchen straight. I'll be back later x

BiancaCastafiore · 19/02/2008 07:57

x posts, morning saga

sagacious · 19/02/2008 07:58

Morning ehm !
mad hope your tooth gets sorted
waves to bianca

EHM · 19/02/2008 08:01

hey bianca estate called last night to say they have offered on another property bedrooms2 & 3 not quite big enough for them. Not too disappointed not yet on market a week, they came twice & we where 2nd out of their viewibgs of 5 properties. So if they take one less out of the competition we should be ok I also like your ds's hair so cute

BiancaCastafiore · 19/02/2008 08:09

that's not so bad then EHM. Ds now has hair past his shoulders - he could give him a little pony tail and dd has started to call him a girls name which sounds like his!

FunkyGlassSlipper · 19/02/2008 08:27

EHM. I'm keeping fingers crossed that DD1s tummy seems to be improving. We've cut out all milk and fruit juice until its better and I've noticed a difference in just 2-3 days!

Here is my morning routine in case any of the new flybabies want some ideas :

  1. Make bed - done
  2. Swish & Swipe en suite bathroom - done
  3. Put a wash load in - done
  4. Empty dishwasher - done
  5. Feed cat & fish - done
  6. Check calendar - done
  7. DRINK SOME WATER - hmm
  8. Clear away breakfast things - done
  9. Think about what you want for dinner - done
10. 2 minute hotspot - done 11. 5 minute room rescue - will go and do that now.

I've also hoovered downstairs which is one of the home blessing tasks. I dont do everything on a monday. I do one job each day which makes it more manageable.

I'll do no 11. and then I can go and enjoy my morning. Sainsbury's delivery coming at 2 and a friend coming over this afternoon too.

Yahoo group for UK time reminders

Shannaratiger · 19/02/2008 09:04

Morning again

DD did go back to bed until 7:30 so a nice lie in.
HN hope your wrists get better soon. My friend had the same problem with her DS so you are not alone, hope you manage to sort something out soon.
Puppy glad DS went back to sleep, it's horrible when they're tired all day.
EHM & saga morning.
FGS thanks for the link will check it out later.

glitterfairy · 19/02/2008 09:07

Morning EHM hope ellie is better.

Morning FGS, bianca, TMH, sagacious and pdt. So many newbies here and so much going on on these threads these days it is great.

Today I am really going to tidy instead of saying so. Also aim to do the mission!

JingleyJen · 19/02/2008 09:15

Morning everyone,
so back to posting Flyroutine for me.
Have ss the bit of bathroom we have (still got the builders in)
have done the unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher
have unloaded the washing machine but not going to get chance to put it on again until later as the builder wants to turn the water off as soon as the dishwasher is finished.
Have made the bads
have tidied the sitting room
have done the ironing from yesterdays washing.

still to do.

Go and see my Tuesday lady for coffee
pick up DS1 from nursery school
go to friends house for lunch
take lunch to my Tuesday lady
Hopefully by then the heating and water will be back on at home
make macaroni cheese
hoover through after builders go
cutting in the first coat of paint in the ensuite

probably other things that come up during the day.

Hope you are all well today. Just looked at the time of some of the earlier posts... do you always get up at that time in the morning?

DontDreamItBeIt · 19/02/2008 09:17

Morning

Jus checking in so I can find you later.
I have lots oferrands to do this morning, am still undecided whether to go to toddler group or not, and th house is a tip.

I'm on my second load of washing, and the dds are at school, so I'm going o write myself a list, try and do some of it then come back and read and post properly.

PuppyDogTails · 19/02/2008 10:07

Jen - My DP is up for work at 6am and I know how rubbish it is to have to get up on your own so I get up with him. With DS's early waking I'm usually in bed by 10pm though so it's usually OK. If DS would stay asleep, it would be an ideal opportunity for me to do my chores, if he would stay asleep...

I've had a fairly constructive morning (for me), sink's still shiny, clean washing has been sorted, washing machine on, dishwasher on, bottles washed and sterilised.

Things I want to achieve today:
Mission plus 15 minutes in main bedroom
Washing main bed linen
Not much really, it would be pitiful if I couldn't achieve it!

The question for today is - do I take him for his nap in his pushchair or do I risk the cot? Cot would be more useful.

Morning all
