Anyway hello to anyone who remembers me

sagacious · 08/12/2008 10:13

Welcome back sircharlie power weekend sounds fab apart from crappy sat nav (our road is 5 yrs old and still doesn't appear on most sat navs)
Morning dyls and mad

Well I have 2 sick children (most unusual they're normally disgustingly healthy)

Ds has a cough but TBH I think he's playing on it judging by the whoops as he's playing computer games ATM.

DD really is ill bless her, she was meant to go on her last try out session at primary school and is so dissapointed she can't go

Have done a pile of ironing but thats about it.

Will attempt kitchen after a cuddle with dd

swanriver · 08/12/2008 10:19

Hi All. Have flu so not sure when will be back...

travellingwilbury · 08/12/2008 11:47

Can I come and join in too please ?

I need to get organised . I don't want to join the flylady website as I have done that before and all the e mails gave me a headache so I thought I could just come on here and steal your lists .

Hope thats ok .

So have I got this right so far ? I have to throw away a cookery book and make a start on the kitchen list ?

Any words of wisdom to keep me on the right track ?

AndaGrouchyBahHumbugtoyou · 08/12/2008 12:21

Hello ALL

Welcome back Sir Charlie (Is Envelope OK )

Feel totally exhausted today, I've done my morning routines, counseled a mum through her problems, tidied the front room, put away the clean dry washing, Tidied the Ed room and

I've just stopped. I can't be bothered tbh. Why do I feel I always have to be acheiving something?

Please slap me round the mush

TortoiseRidesaReindeer · 08/12/2008 12:23

Morning all.
Haven't been on FLY recently. But house is looking pretty good. I have been working away at it most of the week end.

that's pretty much it for me. I am feeling very poorly and really wish I could have stayed in bed this morning, will try and do a few bits when I get home later.

grouchy will e-mail you. I presume you have tmh's email and can pass on to her.

wendy sorry wasn't ignoring your question I live in c'heaton so not far from grouchy

TheGarishlyTwinkleyMadHouse · 08/12/2008 13:35

BWB and all we should have a fly facebook group - do you think?

OP posts:
AndaGrouchyBahHumbugtoyou · 08/12/2008 13:46

Joined the Facebook group
Cheers MAD

TortoiseRidesaReindeer · 08/12/2008 13:59

Thanks TMH. i have joined.

wendycarolsinger · 08/12/2008 14:06

Poor BWB and Anne hope you're feeling better soon. I am also feelig poorly, still got the sore throat and now ear ache and generally unwell. BWB ABout the meet up:
my email is wendylanguage at tiscali dot co dot uk
Mad I think you are me both are burning ourselves out! I had a day off on Saturday shopping in Lincoln and it was great, but I'd love a day off in the house, just chilling out and doing what I wanted, like you say. If I lived nearer would come and grant your wish
WHACK for Grouchy you always sound like you're achieving something to me. Isn't this the thing with being a SAHM - the most important thing we're achieving is bringing up our kids to be nice well balanced and happy people!

Mine are both asleep, yippee! Told DS he might be too tired for his Xmas concert on Thursday, ought he better have a rest! bless he went straight to sleep and didn't talk to DD either so she's asleep too. She was awake a fair amount in the night coughing.

wendycarolsinger · 08/12/2008 14:19

I have joined too, thanks Madhouse
