Mission

Not sure which day the babysteppers are on but happy to go and get the thread if someone lets me know. Have been away for the weekend so totally out of the loop. Hope everyone is well and I haven't missed anything important!

Hi everyone! House is looking like it could do with the hour "Blessing"!! so will join you for the day if that's okay!

mission

(Am I allowed to do that, as an imposter to the thread?!)

intravenouscoffee · 14/04/2008 09:04

Hi Trinity. We need some major flying round here too. Am trying to be motivated... keep telling myself that something is better than nothing and trying not to get too hung up on doing everything. Easier said than done. Does Flylady do a magic wand in that shop of hers?

intravenouscoffee · 14/04/2008 09:05

Hi Legoleia. All imposters welcome. Am off to find my duster and make some sort of an effort...

OP posts:
Legoleia · 14/04/2008 09:05

Argh, too late!

Okay well I need to

Tidy everywhere
Hoover
Dust
Laundry

What else? Am I supposed to throw away magazines for 10 mins or something?

Plan dinner
Get dressed
Iron, possibly while watching cheesy chic flick of my choice...

Good luck everyone! Will be back for motivation!

Trinity What meds did the docs put you on?

FGS I HATE power cuts, we have a battery clock just in case on DHs bedside. We are so relainet on electricity

intravenouscoffee · 14/04/2008 09:17

Morning TMH, glad to see someone knows where we are with babysteps
How is DS? Do you have a date for the repeat imms?
Am clearly not dusting or doing the mission.

TheMadHouse · 14/04/2008 09:20

IVC can you belive that I have to take my letter to the health visitor, as they have lost their copy - but she will give me a schedule then - so one injection a month for the next 7 months to my calculations. He is really fine 99% of the time you would never guess he had a condition.

DS2 is getting over a nasty virus, which gave him hugh toncils and a nasty tummy, but he is as georgous as ever.

Arre the windows done? I bet you can not wait to get it all completed

Legoleia · 14/04/2008 09:20

Am also still here browsing... lazy legoleia!

Okay, will promise to get off MN until 10am

see you in a bit!

Morning all

Not much flying here today, dd got really bad cold and is currently on sofa with duvet and has been since yesterday morning. I'm still babystepping but really proud of the new routine I've developed for the past 4 days of actually getting up early enough to make smoothies for me and ds1 as part of brekkie (not bad I've had the thing over a year and only used it once)Not much to brag about but it keeps me happy!!!

Anyway have a good day off to try to get dd to eat something

Janni · 14/04/2008 09:52

Hello everyone
The flat is tidy as we had first-time visitors yesterday and I had a splurge!!

3 kids home today, various bits of madness already and it's only 9.40 but all calm right now. Will try posting a longer list today - I would LOVE to know how you go back in and write 'done' next to the items.

Anybody?

(Though in my case it will probably be 'not done' )

To Do

Get dressed, breakfast
DD meds and second breakfast
Hang laundry
Sort out travel card for DS1
Top up my travel card
DS2 - reading and homework
DS1 - piano practice
Name tapes in uniform
Shopping
DD 2nd physio
Sort my bedroom

Have a good day, all.

TrinityTheProgressingRhino · 14/04/2008 09:58
