No time to do mission links (sorry) as have to rush kids to school and get to work early today as I was lazy over the weekend and no have to play catch-up (annoyed with myself now!)

Just wanted to send (((hugs))) to Tort x x Hope the night went peacefully and everyone soon feels better x x

May be abck after work, but pro no time today. Ds has a booster imunisation jab after school and is not very happy about it

Babysteps

Mission

Thanks Bianca

I hope you are all ok today tort and get dd2 to school.

Morning all

Looks like everyone's in a rush this morning!

We had a dodgy night here again with the lo coughing & being sick until 3am! She's bright as a button now though & in the process of putting Noah's Ark together

OH has an interview in a bit for a place just round the corner so he's sat on sofa feeling sorry for himself because the lo kept him up longer than me.

J's mum tried to drop him off at 7am this morning. I ignored the door! Not even a phone call to ask if I would have him & just turned up which I thought was out of order.

Just odd bits to do this morning before town after oh's interview:
~brekky & pots
~ask mil to have the lo
~town shopping list
~wash lo's coat she was sick on on Saturday (just discovered at bottom of stairs . . . yuk)
~pack lo's bag
~s&s bathroom & kitchen
~put lasagne together for tea tonight
~strip big bed

Off to do brekky before the lo explodes asking for her beeble out!

Morning all.

Not working this morning as friend who normally has DD is on holiday. Dd1 off to school and I'm now back with DD.

A bit torn as I have work, housework and entertaining DD to do.

Morning.
Not to bad a night. Didn't get to sleep until gone 1am though.
DD1 hasn't been sick since the one time last night and is asking for food. Just waiting for friend to bring shopping then she can have a plain biscuit.

DS2 seems fine. He has had some dry cereal.

I was hoping to get to bigger town today/tomorrow but that won't happen now. DS2 wanted a skeleton outfit from Tesco for dress up book day Wednesday.

I think they will both go back Wednesday. School says 48 from last sick before sending them back.

Really worrying about getting ill myself. I have loads to do this week as it is DS2's birthday Friday and party Sunday.

Morning ALL

Hope you're feeling brighter Tort and DD is getting better.

BF has cancelled her visit due to birthday induced hangover ho hum

Got up 45 mins late So a bit of a mental rush round. Ed to school washed, fed, uniformed, nit reppelled, fish oiled, book bag , pe kit ond lunch pack. Just caught up with the morning chores. phew

Off to town this lunchtime to post job apps and parcel thenI'm going to the CAB this afternoon to see about volenteerring opportunities. Then collect Ed and do Ed things until I go to bed

Hope all are well

Morning peeps

Kids are all at school/nursery....hurrah!!

Picking DD2 up at 11.30 and then going off to do a food shop....hurrah again! (cupboards are bare)

Tort awwwww nooooo nightmare! I hope they get better soon and you get some sleep xxx

Bianca Morning Thanks for the thread....you seem sooooo busy! We'll have to catch up soon...don't work too hard ok!

Right have promised I'll wrap some Ebay things up for DH before I go into town.

Catch you all later x

Mad - you are right.

I did 45 mins work while DD watched tv and we've just been out and cleared the front garden of leaves while DD2 'helped'. Now she's back inside warming up, I've just made a cuppa and will get some nice toys out.

Morning everybody - just wanted to nip in to all you experienced FLY ladies to share that I have just completed my 31 babystep!! yay!!
Feel a little anxious now as my safety blanket is gone - I liked looking every day at what to do next. There's so much else on the website and the detailed zone cleaning scares me . Not sure where to go from here.
I'm doing the morning routine like clockwork although I never get myself together for the evenign routine. Should I try to get that down before moving on?? Any advice gratefully received.
How did you all start????

Morning Everyone

Tortoise Glad your DC's seem better. Good luck with the party organising.
Lucys Have fun in town.

Hi Everyone else .

Feeling very down at the moment. Dont know whats wrong with me. So the house is suffering, and then that gets me down!
DP tried to cheer me up yesterday by giving me his card so I could buy DD a doll for xmas from Amazon. Got a beautiful Corolle one which Im very chuffed with. So that cheered me up for about 5 minutes and then the 'fog' descended again . I must try and snap out of it....its really not fair on DC's, especially DS.

Think I'll do some jigsaws etc with DS for an hour before lunch and then crack on with some tidying etc.

Laura I dont think there's any right and wrong way to do flying and I think everyone probably has their own way of structuring it all. i didnt finish babysteps . I was too impatient! I started with a morning, afternoon and before bed routine. Once I'd got my head around those I added to them with the zones and missions. I havent started doing the detailed cleaning of the zones because I havent decluttered them properly. Im still pretty new to this so maybe one of the others can give you more ideas and tips!

Wow ruby thats great news!

tort glad the little ones are on the mend, fingers crossed you won't get it! Good luck with party organising, I pleased to say thats me done with that until next September!

cafe sorry you are feeling down, its horrible when you get stuck in that vicious circle with mood and housework! Hope things start to look up soon and hugs for you

laura I finished babysteps about 2 weeks ago and once I was happy with am and pm routines I started an afterschool routine, I also started the mission about halfway through babysteps, I'm just feeling now as though I could do a deep room clean, well done for keeping at it though

mad a selection of presents I received
Love links bracelet and 2 links
watch
bottle of pink champagne
selection of belgium chocs from delli in town
thorntons champagne truffles
Radley coin purse
radley bag
red leather weekend bag
some books
wine
lovely necklace and bangle from accessorize
Next voucher
cash
oh and my weekend to London to see dirty dancing, London eye, Harrods etc.
So as you can see I am very spoilt lucky

Ruby - What a nice surprise!

cafe - I know your dp feels otherwise, but I really think you may benefit from at least going to see your gp. Sometimes you just can't "snap out of it" on your own

Laura - Agree with Ruby. Get your evening stuff sorted before you add to it. Cafe is also right - deep cleaning can't really be done until the clutter is removed, so that might need more work., too.
I never got my afternoon routine to the point where it was automatic Morning and evening keep things ticking over, and hopefully I will do babysteps again and get my afternoon under control.

I've been to town and paid last months council tax and put dd2s birthday money in her account out of temptations way.

My house is a disaster area.

Tigger, Ruby, Cafe, Scatty, Jas - Thank you for your advice and words of encouragement - it really helps . I think I will take your advice and go over the Babysteps to cement the evening routine and start and afternoon routine, adding either a mission now and again or a weekly home blessing - can't decide .

RR to be honest I think clued up involved parents terrify them. I would be easier if you didn't care and therefore they can go by the textbook.

TMH Coat in the post. Hope you like it.

Just been to the CAB to see about volunteering. The mention of having to consider term time only hours seemed to disconcert them but as I said, if voluntering is going to cost the family then I can't consider it in reality. Hope they took notice.

Well pack up extras bought and 3/4 job apps posted. Just got to collect Ed in 30 mins. BBL (perhaps)
