Morning luda, thanks for the link

Mission looks good, today and yesterday overlap. Unfortunately our local clothes bank that is on route to playschool has disappeared. Hopefully will be back today, but i think the pub needs the parking space. Their is another one by the chip shop, so DP cam actualy do some FLYing and get rid of them.
To be done:
Strip our bed adn put W/M on
Get ds's breakfast
Get us all dressed
Will think of the rest later

TMH hope you are not too tired this morning.
EHM it's so nice when they fall asleep early, unfortunately my two never do it at the same time.

Hello everyone later.

Shannaratiger · 22/04/2008 07:41

X-post hi Dream, hot lemon and honey and the duvet. Hope you feel better later. Interesting 2nd post

Thanks for the thread LUda
Hello to all

I was planning to come on and do a decent list to help me get back on top of the housework now the kids are back at school but ds and I are still both poorly He also has headlice again I have a dentist appt in a couple of hours but don't know what to do about it. I need to get this broken tooth sorted but I have a v jippy tummy which added to the usual anxiety jippy tummy could cause me serious problems I'll take some pills and see how I feel in an hour...if necessary I'll have to re-arrange the appt

Not sure I can face FLYing today but will see how the day progresses.

TheMadHouse · 22/04/2008 09:04

Morning all

Welcome Ally there is a lesson on cleaning sinks here. I guess depending how bad it is I would use a cream cleaners like cif

I have most of the morning routines done. I am OK despite not getting off until 3am and being up again at 7am. It is the anemia - it is giving me palpertations.

DH bought me (well he wanted it really) The last Shaddow Puppets Album the age of the understatement It is like the artic monkeys do the sixties - quite listenable. I think I am getting old, my music taste is mellowing. I was more of a muse, pacebo and foo type of girl.

We are off to toddlers at the church today and then back for lunch and Preschool, then off to take a friend her birthday present after school, so busy. Will have a mad fly once DS2 is asleep

Ironing
Dinner

sagacious · 22/04/2008 09:52

madhouse I like that song (am also a muse girl.. though I use the term girl rather loosely)
bianca Ouch please try to get to the dentist! Take care of yourself
Good to see you back babyj
Welcome ally I'd do the fill with hot water/bleach and then give it a gentle scrub with a washing up brush (thats what I do !)
Waves to shanna funky and dream AND LUDA (thanks for the thread)

I HAVE
Walked back with DD the long way (through fields with horses it was lovely!)
Watered the garden inc a 1000 pots (ds starting a plant nursery he wants to sell them in the summer!)
One white wash
Pegged out white wash
Loaded d/w
Listened to placebo
Had a cup of tea

Have to
sort out ds's room
home bleurghing

Back after sorting out dd's mega bloks

DontDreamItBeIt · 22/04/2008 09:56

I know we aren't supposed to copy from FL website, but I ^had to post this.....Nothing says I LOVE YOU like a Clean toilet to throw up in when you are sick! - FlyLady
She is mad!

I found it looking for stuff about plastic sinks. They just don't shine. All you can do is clean it, bleach it, and keep it empty. Maybe you could shine your taps? Welcome Ally

I'm going to spend the day drinking honey and lemon, and feeling sorry for myself.

Was it BB who was off travelling at the crack of dawn today, ad still not well? I hope you got off ok if it was.

I hope your tummyis ok Bianca.Or at least good enough to get the dentist over with today.

I feel really old TMH. I don't listen to any music at all any more. DP hates everything I used to like, and over the years I've just stopped listening to anything.

I'm going to go and sit with ds for a bit....

BiancaCastafiore · 22/04/2008 10:08

lol Jas, FLY lady is bonkers!

I'm still suffering, not sure any more if this is nerves or a bug Just really shaky and poorly Ds seems much brighter today so I hope he's over the worst.
I am still planning to go to the dentist. Broken tooth is a result of new denture I think Hope it's not too expensive to fix.

DontDreamItBeIt · 22/04/2008 12:25

I hope the dentist goes/went ok Bianca

Where is everyone?

I've done my morning routine, and tbh, I doid so much yesterday, it still doesn't look bad. I'm goig to try and keep the floor clear without actually doing any rel housework today..

Jacket pots for tea, as dd1 has an opticians appt after school. They should be ready to eat when we get back

FunkyGlassSlipper · 22/04/2008 12:35

I'm doing well. managed to hoover downstairs and mop the floors.

DD2 napping, DD1 lunching.

About to do afternoon routine and then need to take DD1 to Drs later.

ally90 · 22/04/2008 13:09

Thanks

I do bleach once a week (ish!), the tap is painted matt cream with bits flaking off I'll just do my best...and keeping it empty is a good idea!

sagacious · 22/04/2008 13:24

I am thinking about buying a new handbag

I don't think that was on my to do list...

I had better go and hoover

(hope the dentist goes ok B)

TheMadHouse · 22/04/2008 13:27

I have urges for a pair of bright yellow ballet flats, but can not find any even in new look - pah

Well not much flying going on as I forgot it was my last session of CBT and I have just met my new mental health nurse.

Now to eat lunch
