Morning All

We have had a tough night with DS1, his chest is bad again, though DH has took the brunt of it last night - thanks dear

Right, so were are we. Well today you need to read a fly testimonital or another bit of the fly site

It is also time to add the laundry in to your daily routine. It doesnt matter wether this is evening or morning, just when it suits you.

So our routines should be looking something like this

Morning Routine

  • Get up and get dressed doing your hair and face
  • Make your bed
  • Looking at your posted reminders in the kitchen and bathroom
  • Reading 2 minutes of reminders
  • Recognizing the negative voices and changing them
  • Put out your Hot Spots for 2 minutes
  • 5 Minute Room Rescue (pick any room in the house) set your timer and go!
  • Laundry
  • Mission

Before Bed Routine

  • Keep your sink shining
  • Lay out your clothes for tomorrow
  • Put out your Hot Spot
  • Laundry
  • set a regular bedtime and stick to it

As you can see our routines are getting larger and should be becoming natual to do.

grouchyoscar · 25/11/2008 14:13

TMH are you OK? What an awful thing to happen. Are the boys OK? How hideous. Nice to see a pragmatic 'It's just metal' attitude.

TheMadHouse · 25/11/2008 14:14

DS1 was in school, DS2 was sleep and slept throught it. DH not so happy £150 excess never mind eh

OP posts:
TheMadHouse · 25/11/2008 14:15

DS2 doesnt seem to have any after effects, although he is currently far to busy dancing with wgs the dog and the wiggles. He was a bit mad to start with!!!!

My son, the charmer...

...Ed's personal way of handling the snots...wipe nose on sleeve when thinks no one is looking, siddle to drawerfs, take out clean tissue...wipe snotty sleeve with tissue, put back in drawer, return to carpet area

Nice eh. I'm only laundering Teddy as I saw him wiping his nose on him and using blanket to get it off Teddy

Slugs and snails and puppy dogs' tails

TheMadHouse · 25/11/2008 14:22

Oh well could be worse of wuss as poo would say - mine eat them

EHM · 25/11/2008 14:23

bianca the letter to Santa is so sweet.

grouchyoscar · 25/11/2008 14:33

TMH Slugs, snails, puppy dogs or poo?

grouchyoscar · 25/11/2008 14:36

Bianca That is so sweet. What address is your DD sending it to?

BiancaCastafiore · 25/11/2008 14:52

We used a PO address last year and had a sweet letter back with stickers I haven't found it again yet tthis year yet though....

I am struggling to find what she wants online everywhere is out of stock or the reviews say the toys are disappointing...

Grouchy my ds used hsi sleeve then a hanky too - blurgh!

Jas · 25/11/2008 15:01

Don't get a password journal....they are truly crap!

BiancaCastafiore · 25/11/2008 15:03

LOL, I have just noticed that on amazon and crossed it off the list. I think I am going to focus on the Playmobil circus as she plays with playmobil all the time And that way Grandparents etc can buy extra bits for it

Anyone know about Bionicles? Which are goodies and which are badies?

ludaloo · 25/11/2008 15:06

Hi Guys

Mad oooh nooo, glad everyone was ok.

Just a quickie, I'm wondering if any of you lovely fly peeps had any girlie bedroom bits at all? We are thinking of making the spare bedroom into a room for DD1.
She has been nagging us for quite a while now. She wants to go along a (wait for it...)
A Cat/Kitten/Nature theme I'm at a complete loss for ideas TBH!
I just wondered whether anyone would have anything they no longer need that might fit into her quite specific catagory!

TIA

EHM · 25/11/2008 15:14

luda we've had 2 RL cats you can have both, or 1 free of charge if that helps.

Jas · 25/11/2008 15:32

Glad no one was hurt TMH.

I'm trying to cook my tea for tonight. So far I have burnt the lentils twice, and am now trying again. I have no more after this so if I burn them again, I'll be having mushrooms on toast!

bythepowerofgreyskull · 25/11/2008 15:37

Luda

the littlewoodsdirect website have a butterflies and kittens duvet set,

apparently if you sign up as a new customer and use
ZG999 this code you get £15 off that would make it about £8?

here

if the code works that is - and if you haven't ordered from them before... I got my neighbour to sign up for me to get a couple of things last week. - it worked then

grouchyoscar · 25/11/2008 16:01
