OMG look at the time and DS is still asleep! Result. Just need to try to remember what I did yesterday so that I can do it again (because babies are scientific like that of course). I've been asleep since 9:45pm so I'm raring to go.

Hope all the poorly babies have had a good night.

Morning puppydogtails have been for a run so am also raring to go. Off to work today and leaving my little ones in the care of my dad.

Had a big row with my ds last night and we didnt make it up before he went to bed so I will wake him up and kiss him before I go. He was being very nasty to his little sister so I sent him to bed and refused to let him sleep his night in my bed. He usually apologises but I think he was knackered.

Morning all

Puppy glad you and ds have caught up on sleep and you're raring to go.
DD decided 5:30 was time to get up. Have just finished reading yesterday's thread.
TMH hope DS's eye gets better soon.
Tort hope DD2's ear ache gets better soon.
Bianca hope you manage to discover what's upsetting dd. I know i always feel upset when dd gets upset and doesn't know why.

Signed up to the FLYlady uk yahoo group. I tried to unsubscribe to the FLYlady e-mails and discovered that i couldn't send any as i haven't got the settings right on outlook express.
Tried to sort it out and failed and just got really stressed and grumpy, so turned computer off!
I think the w/m has just finished and have to get ds up for his antibiotics.
BBL when i have sorted out the e-mails.

Morning All

I'm in a good mood today...lost another lb (I weigh myself every wednesday morning) its comming off slower than I'd like, but at least it is comming off!)

Have to go and pick up my prescription and then pop into our little local gym, to get a timetable. Then it is housework today.

Hope everyone is ok this morning, and all the little ones are ok too

sagacious · 20/02/2008 08:07

Morning
Thanks for the thread puppy good news that your DS had a lie in !
Woken at 6am by the cat hacking up a furball on our bed..
Lovely

So washing machine on and cat confined to biscuits for the day.

Have unloaded/reloaded d/w
Dc's eating cereal watching teenage mutant turtles

Can I have a batman cape? I know he can't actually fly but I really don't want to wear my pants over my trousers IYKWIM and the black swishy cape it somehow a bit cooler

PuppyDogTails · 20/02/2008 08:14

Ooh glittery, you're making me feel , I wish I could find the motivation. I'm going skiing in 5 weeks and I have done hardly any exercise since I got pregnant, ie 18 months ago. Apart from carrying a 27lb baby everywhere of course! Skiing is just going to be a farce.

Morning All

todays Mission

We are all up and dressed and porridge is cooling.

I have arranged for MIL to have DS1 for this morning so I can spend some quality times with DS2 and also so that there is no fighting. He is a bit unsteady on his feet, as the eye is still closed and weeping. I have given him more calpol. He had a pretty unsettled night, but is OK.

I have the washer and dryer on and have done my morning routine. I am going to try to do some of tomorrows bits this morning.

Biancca I hope you can get to the bottom of DD's issues.
Tort I hope the ear ache ios better poor mite
Sag Furballs dont you just love those cooking fats
Puppy I love the title

Waves to everyone else

FunkyGlassSlipper · 20/02/2008 08:36

Morning all.

Morning routine nearly all done, just need to do 15 mins somewhere. Meant to be going out morning and afternoon to see people but it is foggy and I dont feel like it.

Have a nice day everyone!

EHM · 20/02/2008 08:48

puppY thanks for the thread. glad ds is sleeping later, long may it continue.
bianca sorry to hear dd is Hope things improve soon.
GF hope ds is less grumpy today & I am sure he will be once he has a lovely kiss from his mum Ellie is up/down at moment.Not really sure whats going on. One day she will be fine, then that night(like last night) she appeared frustrated as she couldn't sleep pulling on right ear & very hot. She went to sleep at 715 last night, had to give her nuerofen at 855 has she cried on/off for on hour & very hot. Woke again at 1ish head completed wet with sweatsettled her & she slept until 615. She appears fine again this morning, but didnt eat much yesterday. I am concerned that she is in for another ear infection, throat looks a bit sore. She has been like this on/off for over 2 weeks. (sorry for the ramble)
tort hope dd is OK & poor mikey.vets are so expensive.
luda i'll have a look at the pictures

EHM · 20/02/2008 08:50

hello to dream x post

JingleyJen · 20/02/2008 08:50

morning all,

some flying this morning
Dishwasher done, washing machine done
kitchen clean and bathroom(ish) done.

out all morning at a church meeting trying to decide why we can't attract young families to the family service.

Then back to get on and cook fish pie for tonight.

TMH hope the eye gets better as the day progresses, we have molton brown soap everywhere so will be very cautious from now on.. which is the bit that is in antifreeze?

Not been on much recently so am out of touch, but hope everyone is well..

Back later..

BiancaCastafiore · 20/02/2008 09:39

Morning all

Glitter wow, you're doing great with the runs - well done! Hope you and ds make up today.
Luda well doen on that lb loss (I'm doing badly )
TMH dd got soap on her eys in the bath this morning and was in a lot of pain, thankfully she's fine but it made me extra to think of how much pain your ds must be in, poor little chap. I hope you have a good day today.
Saga my ds saw a boy dressed as Luke Skywalker the other day and is now demanding I make him a cape...shall I whip one up for you at the same time?

Dd seems a bit brighter ths morning and is going to play with a friend this afternoon so is excited about that. Hopefully today will be a good day. I am getting quite worried about her.

I had another crappy nights sleep. dh moved into the spare room to give me some space to sleep, ds joined me soon after midnight and I barely slept from then on. Need to break this cycle.

Still, I seem to have woken up feeling motivated to get on so have already cleared a whole shelf unit in ds bedroom and been able to get rid of it altogether!

The kids are playing upstairs now so I'm going to hoover downstiars and run a cloth round the cloakroom.

Both kids are out for a couple of hours this afternoon so I'm planning a blitz on either the spare room or the utility, both rooms I hate. I read through some chapters of The Life Laundry Books this morning and feel spurred on to organize myself a bit.

Back later x

damewashalot · 20/02/2008 09:40

Morning, have scanned yesterday's thread but all that has stayed in my pg brain is about the hand wash. How old is he? poor thing, sounds awful. Hope that there is no lasting damage, he sounds like he's being a really brave little boy.

Will try and do something useful, it's so hard to get going some days isn't it?

These Ruby?

BiancaCastafiore · 20/02/2008 10:13

My dd is asking for some of these swirly stickers to go on her wall. Has anyone used anything like it? Are they easy to apply etc? I'm thinking of giving her room a spruce up while she goes for a sleep-over at PlL this coming weekend...

DontDreamItBeIt · 20/02/2008 10:22

Could you paint one of the walls red?

BiancaCastafiore · 20/02/2008 10:23

Could you paint some red hearts/one large red heart on a wall to break up the white?

We have this white bedding, very pretty, lovely cotton

My dds room is a pale lilac but the paint is looking grubby round the bed I was thinking perhaps some of those stickers would distract from the grubby foot/hand prints...?! Everything else in her room is OK really but I'd like to give a bit more character now she's getting older.

BiancaCastafiore · 20/02/2008 10:26

Ds has this rug in blue but the red is very nice too.
( advertising my own product here - this is where I work )

DontDreamItBeIt · 20/02/2008 10:29

DS is doing who-knows-what in the other room. I'd better go and check.

I've been out and paid bills so far today, but the morning routine isn't done
I am not allowed back here until I have done it, and 15 mins in one room downstairs.....

Thats what I thought Ruby, the heart theme could go too far..I really like the red and white from the Next website but dd says it's the same as her school uniform so she'd never have it I like th ehat boxes esp - I'm a sucker for storage
We're stuck with the lilac for dd really as she has fitted velux blinds in lilac and we can't afford to replace them I think I'm going to order the wall stickers and see if they help give the room a new look for her
