Morning fgs thanks for thread

tort glad cake went well- have a good day.

i have all of yesterdays list to get thourhg today- but i'm going to the dockyard instead with friends. so doubt i'll get much done - will see what i manage before we go.
on the plus side i have caught up with my washing- the wash basket i empty. the down side is i have damp washing everywhere trying to get dry. and an ever increasing ironing pile!!

have a good day all

Morning all

Mum has taken to sleeping in the conservatory which means I need to keep the boys out, you would'nt think there is a perfectly good bed in the spare room (she siad it was too hard for her). She has said that she feels better here and will be here for the weekend

I am going to take the boys out whilst I do the shop this morning. I have loads to catch up on.

I broke my iron last night - I dropped it and the water chamber broke

TMH bugger about your iron.. how frustrating. someone linked to an iron on special offer yesterday I think. (will see if I can find it in a minute)
Dylsmum hope you have fun at the dockyard, there is a satisfaction to having an empty washbasket..Sadly I very rarely get there but know what you mean

I've not FLY ed before. Is there a FLY tip for sorting out a hell hole of a house after returning from a camping trip? The kitchen is full of dirty clothes for washing, worktops full of stuff for washing up. I have a stonking headache which I've had for three days and two dds who think it's fun to play me up today.

jingleyjen · 29/05/2008 10:18

Sparkler welcome
One of the Fly principals is that doing something is better than doing nothing. doesn't matter how small you start.
take 10 minutes set the timer on the oven then stop and have a break.
(thats my interpretation anyway)

Hop wyou have had a good trip

Hi everyone.

FGS here, having changed my outfit

House a mess. Have lapsed with Flylady and combined with half term - it shows.

Plan to get back on track this week.

Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy. Her personality is just like mine

No exactly a common novel to read. I did it at A Level and loved it.

TheMadHouse · 29/05/2008 13:55

Afternoon all

Ruby DS2 is on the calpol cold. I had to lie and tell them he was two (well only little lie as he is next month). He is not a happy bunny at all

FGSMy dyslexia will not accomodate your new name just yet

Welcome sparkler

Hmm - where to start. House is a tip. I am not sure the lower meds are helping or that might just be mum

TheMadHouse · 29/05/2008 13:56

Ruby dont worry I can not do Thomas Hardy at all, so you are not alone - that sounds too stalkerish

TMH - I will still answer to FGS or EV if that is easier

Ludaloo · 29/05/2008 14:14

Hello all

bianca thank you I am actually quite impressed with the running too! Never thought I would ever actually enjoy it!
Hope the picnic went ok

Welcome to sparkler
How was the camping trip? Did you go anywhere nice? We are going camping too at some point this summer.

Eustacia Vye I like her too...I did Return of the Native for English Literature A Level too

Well we have just come back from the beach....had a picnic The sun went in though and it got cold, so we came home and went to the park for ten mins. Kids are all in the garden and I am just contemplating tidying the front garden. I have no idea how to tackle the grass though....our strimmer has packed up and the grass is above knee hieght now!!

Ludaloo · 29/05/2008 14:18

height....I can spell really (despite doing english lit a level...it still took Biancas DD to point out I couldn't spell Saturday! .... or is it Saterday!??.... again!)

Ludaloo · 29/05/2008 14:21

ok I had to google that! But I was right the first time

gem1981 · 29/05/2008 14:21

hello all - gosh it's quiet today isn't it?

DH only just decided to tell me his mum his coming for the weekend this morning hence me being conspicuous by my absence.

I have been cleaning like a mad thing all day and have jsuy crashed on the sofa to watch keeping up apearrances (love that show!!!)

she is arriving a bit later today and I think everything's done.

Welcome sparkler TMH ds is also under the weather today - his glands on his necj are all up and he is sleeping loads (medised !!!)
ruby hope your back is OK. waves to bianca jen and FGS

Ludaloo · 29/05/2008 14:30

Hi gem....have a good weekend!
Did you know, Keeping up Appearences is filmed in Coventry....My Dh is from Coventry, and he and my DD1 were both born there (in the same hospital too )
I am a pool of usesless information!

EustaciaVye · 29/05/2008 14:33

Aw, DD1 and I have just had a race to tidy the living room and playroom and now the floors are clear

Ludaloo · 29/05/2008 14:33
