I've forgotten most of what I wanted to say so sorry if I miss you out....

Bianca Well done on the drs visit. I hope it is sorted son fr you.

TMH I hope you've had a restful night, and dh and the boys are ok today.

Wolf We all have days like yesterday. Walking out is so much better than keeping up the screaming. I hope ds is happier today.

Ummm.....more later!

DS had a better night than the night before (not difficult) but I'll be staying in with him again as he's still not great. He is at least drinking today though.

No list, but I promise I will FLY today!

Morning

Thanks for the links Jas Hope ds feels better soon. There are loads of bugs doing the round here these days - my two have very runny noses and ds is getting a cough but fingers crossed we'll avoid the rest; we've had our fair share this year!

to everyone else

We all got up bright and early this morning and I have been feeling well motivated towards tackling the house today not sure what's come over me!)

I've done a load of washing, load two has just gone in
Lovely walk to school with the kids this morning
The kitchen is all clean and tidy
The beds are made
The dw is on

Also to do today~
~gocery delievery (due any time now) to put away
~haircut for me
~put away clean washing
~downstairs - massive general clean and tidy up required
~gardening if I can
~friends to play after school (just right to undo all my hard work today!)
~dream up good supper which both children will eat (becoming more and more tricky as ds gets more and more fussy)
~dd to Brownies this eve

That'll keep me well occupied
See you later.

galen · 11/03/2009 09:57

Morning all!
Popping in ultra briefly due to unfolding chaos here!

In a moment of total loss of all rational thinking and absence of all FLY sense I have started on the GARAGE !!!! Spurred on by yet another argument with DH about this constant source of frustration I just stormed in and started!

Result is kitchen and hallway now in chaos, garage floor covered in all sorts (but at least you can see patches of floor!) and 5 large black bags of old books/vids/DVds etc... dropped to oxfam collection point on way home from school drop off
Am going to do another 1/2 hour, then restore house to some sort of order , then get on with my original to do list LOL
Will be back later for individuals if the garage lets me go!

swanriver · 11/03/2009 10:11

Dh has left at 5.00 to catch his plane, so solo children launching this am, but it went fine.
I always think of you smiling Wendy,
TMH, are things any better?
Grouchydh good luck
EHM, it's nice to be busy tho'
Scatty, I'm sure you didn't loll for long
Wolfcub, I know how horrible it is when they greet you like that. I think it's that love and frustration make an explosive combination
for kids.

Morning All.

Haven't been around for a week. Think I might be developing IBS so haven't done much flying really, and have the remnants of a stinking cold. Ah well, at least the cold is on its way out.

Galen Impressed with the 5 bags of stuff from the garage gone already.

Greyskull How are you feeling today?

Done so far
Kiddies fed & to school on time, walking (often we run a bit to late to walk and we end up driving, but I'm being stricter about not using the car unless DS is really tired (usually by the end of the week).
Bit of a general tidy round.
Dry washing folded & put away
Towels washed
Towels hung up
White washing in
Dishwasher emptied
Post office

To do
Big pile of ironing
Clean downstairs loo

Bread on

Hope you're taking it easy TMH

TheMadHouse · 11/03/2009 12:26

Ladies - you made me cry - Thank you very much.

I went to the hpspital yesterday and had dressings changed and will be back tomorrow to see big cheese.

The swelling under my arms is my own body, right one is a bit better. They have put me on massive dosage of anti'b, doubled my painkillers and admitted that they didnt think my drains would be in this long.

Mum did all the ironiong and cleaned the upstairs yesterday.

DH is taking the minimads to the docs this afternoon, as they are both no better, infact still running really high temps and very unhappy - which is not normal for them.

I am going to have a rest and catch up on the thread and then may be back

I love you all

swanriver · 11/03/2009 12:49

Had a good cry over flummoxing paperwork - now feel better, am I really a grownup at all, bureaucracy seems to reduce me to utter drivelling wreckery almost as bad as instructions on stairgates lol.

Anyway, pressing on. Cake.

I'm glad they listened to you TMH. It must be so frustrating dealing with everyone and everything, docs and nurses included. Sometimes if you are a non-complainer they don't realise how bad things are. DH once as a youth had his foot nearly burnt by an Italian electrical physiotheraphy (? - not sure) machine because he didn't tell them it was hurting, being too brave.

scattyspice · 11/03/2009 12:52

Oh Mad - poor you . At least action has been taken! Hope the big cheese can locate your norks for you .

Herb - hope you are ok too!

Hi everyone else.

I'll try to catch up later.

galen · 11/03/2009 14:14

brief visit again
herbwoman good to see you - looks like youre doing well - hope the IBS sorts itself out.
mad great to "see" you. Really hoping things start to go well fo you now. Yay to your mum, hope minimads soon better, good luck with cons tomorrow

Not had a good day here - garage not too bad but DD4 a TOTAL nightmare. Has me SO wound up and on the verge of tears. So glad I put her name down for nursery at Easter - she is absolutely relentless at the moment - DEMANDS my 100 % attention ALL.THE.TIME. AAAARRRRGGGGHHH
May go lock myself in the toilet for a quick cry and recompose before school pick up....

Hope to bbl in an improved mood.

ByThePowerOfGreyskull · 11/03/2009 14:40

afternoon all

sun is shining here and washing is hanging out.
not got much further than that but it is better than nothing.

Sorry to not go through in detail, hope all those who are feeling down/poorly feel better soon and that your monkeys are all behaving.

swanriver · 11/03/2009 14:48

last bit of party planning complete..apart from house and CAKE..perhaps tomorrow..or maybe I'll buy one

Now to rush out and get a steak and kidney pie for ds1 who has specially requested one for supper.

Galen, I think they want someone to disconnect them. It's like the Red Shoes. mixing my metaphors.

scattyspice · 11/03/2009 16:06

Hi all.

Sympathies galen. I lost my temper with Dd today on the way home from school . I think she is starting to realise when she has pushed her luck too far though as she did look a bit remorseful after her telling off!

Today:
txt friend
laundry
routines

grouchyoscar · 11/03/2009 17:20

Thanks for the thread Jas Hope DS is feeling better

And thanks for the good luck for DH's interview Wolf He's back and feeling positive but he hasn't had chance to chat to me about it yet. He's in a touchy mood cos Ed was ignoring him for PC time. Speaking of DSs How is Ickle Wolf today? Hope he's not playing you up again.

Thinking of you TMH I trust the new dressings feel better.

Galen I do very little these days as FLY has got the house down to a quick turnaround. Thank you for appreciating my hard work

Not had too much time to catch up with the thread. I've had no laptop time. My own fault as I've subscribed to Education City for 12 mths for Ed, he uses it at school and it's better than Cartoon Network games TBH. Plus I've been out all afternoon again. Dinner lady then straight to Reading Friends, doing 4 kids rather than the usual 2 today Then home with Ed and uniform and lunchpack for morning, then interacting with him on his new website.

I'm totally shattered again but I'm sure my system will adapt in time Love and grouchy hugs to all

swanriver · 11/03/2009 17:43

Done
Some more scootering
felt cross with rude ds1 who constantly interrupts me while I'm chatting to friends in playground - perhaps he is cross with me for chatting...and not to him
warded off demands for icecream (the van is BACK)
found someone to cover for Beavers - now feel like there is acres of time this evening to sort out homework etc
Pies in oven
mashed potatoes and broccoli on

Grouchy or anyone do you know any good local geography websites (KS2) DS1 needs to research specific town or village and all BBC seems to offer is Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland. Individual name searches yielding little except bb info?
