Friday Fly

[BabiesEverywhere]

I hope you don't mind me starting one, but I have been up since 5am and bored waiting for a thread to appear

Kelly Mission

Baby Steps

I have opened all windows to air house.
Hung up one load of washing outside.
Another load in the machine
Emptied and refilled dishwasher
Living room/Bathroom clean from last night and toddler still in bed so no toys to clear.

Need to do:-
Ironing
Couple more loads of washing
Sort out our room to fit in side car'd cot bit urgent as I am 38 weeks pregnant today and done bugger all baby preperation. I am far too laid back this time

it's 10:30pm where i am otherwise i would join you. i'm bored to death. that's a lot of work for being 38 weeks. are you completely energized?

It is too hot here and I can't sleep and so when my DH got up at 5am to go to work I gave up trying to sleep and got up.

I am debating about going to buy some garden fence paint when my DD wakes up, the garden fence really is over due a coat of stain and I need to do it before we re-net our cat fence topper

So where are you chefswife ?

I don't feel to bad energy wise, even though I have dire iron levels and am on my 2nd iron suppliment thingy from the midwife.

That said I will properly regret being up so early when it gets to the evening.

Anyhow better get the ironing board out.

ambitious for sure.
i'm on the west coast of canada... victoria.
i'm only 17 weeks but am amazed how (after a 2 week bout of severe tiredness) much energy i have. hopefully it'll keep going. i'm heading to bed. i'm the opposite... fighting to stay awake. i'll check in in the morning and see what's been done. night

Night

Morning

I am so out of touch with the threads these days
Hope everyone is OK. I will try to catch up on yest at some point.

The kids both have friends coming to play this morning so I'm hoping they'll entertain themselves () so I can do some pottering about. I can hardly get in through the utility room door due to all the bags etc which came back from school earlier int he week so I need to have a sort out in there.

My bedroom is still lovely and tidy after my sort-out last week so I can skip todays mission

Morning !

Well yesterday was my sort out house day. So do I have a clean and sparkly house?

Errr no

Phonecall from friend to "come over have a glass of wine and let the kids run around in the paddling pool"

I also sort of remember inviting over the whole of the PTA for dinner and drinkies tonight as the restaurant we were going to has mucked up the booking

Oh bugger
I also have a hangover

BAD BAD SAG

Morning all.

Morning routine mostly done. DDs have the playmobil out which is great as it is keeping them very quiet. DD1 role play. DD2 taking all the flowers of the playmobil plants.

House a mess. I had a migraine last night, probably due from stress of DDs disappearing in the supermarket yesterday. Feel better today but off to ILs tomorrow for the day (taking DD1 to see WallE at cinema) so would like house to be tidy by tonight so it is good when we get back.

Back in 15

Morning

Thanks for the thread BabiesEverywhere Good luck with sorting your room to fit in the baby....I was a bit too relaxed with ds, too. Despite him being 8 days late, the furniture didn' get moved until the day he was born!

Bianca - Also very behind with threads (and housework). Trying o rediscover the dds bedroom floors this morning before we go out

EV I hope you feel better today

Saga _ Sounds mch more fun than cleaning!

We are going to the farm today, but should be home all weekend to tidy up and pack to go to my mums for a week.

Morning everyone

I am in trouble today as I set the alarm wrongly last night and DH was an hour late for work. Typical sod's law though because any other morning when we were trying to lie in for an hour the dcs would have woken us up early.

Loads to do today cos we are off on holiday tomorrow - can't wait!
Put last minute things in case
Weigh case to make sure it doesn't exceed limit (ha ha - it's soooo full)
Clean bathroom
Clean kitchen including washing floor
Finish ironing
Change sheets on children's beds
Collect dry cleaning
15 mins declutter downstairs
15 mins upstairs

If I get half that done I will be happy!

morning all!

i have a list as long as my arm to do today... need to keep busy so i dont go and punch my landlord...but thats another story!lol!

have so far done DS's room, changed beds and put washing in and out.

Morning

babies pace yourself girl . I had DD when DS was 20mnths, tis hard work no?

chef Are you in bed yet?

Sags at your social life.

Bianca hope you get some peace today . I don't even look in our utility rm, just open the door and throw stuff in . We are awaiting a shed to store some of the garden stuff (that is piled up in utility rm). I have plans for a sparkly laundry room (with matching accessories)! Unfortunately DH wants the shed as a workshop and DD wants it as a play house!

EV I'm thinking of wall.e too, let us know what you think.

rowboat Don't worry about keeping up with baby steps I sometimes think flylady is aimed at women who don't work and have nochildren . The key is to adapt it to suit you. .

Today's daily parade of adventures is a trip to Lidl!
Need to dust
Clean fridge
Wash BR floor!!!
Check out Usbourne books for something suitable for DS to practise reading (any suggestions?).

Oh, and try to decide what to do about the fact that the rubbish in our area hasn't been collected on the last 2 collection days and someone has collected several houses worth of rubbish and piled it directly outside my front door!
