I've got ds at nursery, but will be having friends ds as she has mastitis s needs to see the dr. He is a destroyer so can't be left for a second. Once I am child free I have a long list of stuff to do.

Pic of my new bathroom on my profile (and fb)

gibbberish · 14/05/2009 09:35

Morning everyone

Thanks for thread wendy

Not much to do today. House is in order so might do some filing of bills and a bit of ironing.

Or I might just sit in the sun instead

dd1 is off to her friend's in England tonight. Got to take her to the airport. Apart from that, the day is mine!

Hope you all have sun.

gibbberish · 14/05/2009 09:37

Oooo jas very posh!

Have had my downstairs bathroom done, but the upstairs is an absolute disaster. All the pipes burst when we had our heating put in (2 yrs ago!!!) and we had to rip all the units out to get to them.

So no flooring, half the tiles pulled up and no units Can't see me getting it done any time soon either. Sigh.

swanriver · 14/05/2009 09:46

Well done half routines , bathroom, beds and laundry but not kitchen off to swim
Jas, your bathroom looks 4 star!

laurasmiles · 14/05/2009 10:09

Hi guys,

yes agree - today needs to be a no arsing around day. I have a list compiled of the things I didn't get round to doing yesterday too!

Morning routine went to pot as I was up at nursery sorting out their recruitment ad's and need to finish this for 11am deadline - so I'm already playing major catch-up.

bbl to pat myself on back (or slap myself for progress made or not!

I'm SO unfit - I think Wii TRAINER would kill me!!

galen · 14/05/2009 10:15

morning all
wendy nthanks for thread - sorry you're so tired.Have a good evening with friend, and yay for DW

swan sounds a good morning so far, enjoy swimming

jas bathroom is fab

dyls doing well already!

EHM enjoy the garden

gibberish sounding calm and organised today...

scatty you've reminded me about party rplies...thanks!

everyone-else Hi!

Well a morning of total chaos here! Tried a new approach this morning with my early bird DS2. So when he woke and started shouting at us at 5am I just said "shh, sleepy time" and then ignored him. (he sleeps in his cot in our room which doesnt help!)So after shouting and whinging on and off for about 15 mins he fell back to sleep....and didnt wake till 7.30 I felt like death as had gone back into very deep sleep LOL (like you wendy other day!) and we were of course then running massively late!
Obviously last night was also the night I had not done all my evening routines....so no lunches done...no clothes out...AND DH had forgotten to put DW on...sigh
BUT did get all c toschool, except DD1 who is poorly again and now lying on sofa....

However the house is a TOTAL disaster from top to bottom.In all honesty it is the worst it has been since I started FLY in Jan....
Feeling down about it...but my mantra of the day is "I am NOT behind, I will NOT try to catch up,I will just jump in where I am"!!
Just trying to make myself believe thatnow...
Going to take very LITTLE steps today...will not try toget whole house done...

So my list:
15 mins dining room
15 mins kitchen
15 mins knitting!!
15 mins washing sorting
10 mins hot spot drill
Lunch
Nursery drop off
15 mins cuppa and MN time
Sort dinner
15 mins bathrooms
5 min room rescue DD's rooms
5 min room rescue my room
print off Riley challenge for dc tonight
School pick up
dinner
clear dinner
baths
bed!

Right better get on....
BBL ladies

oh and very of those with sun.Rain here...

swanriver · 14/05/2009 10:40

Didn't go swimming suddenly realized I would just keep going on kitchen and go swim this afternoon,as really ran out of time excuses excuses.

Galen That is FANTASTIC ds2 went back to sleep. worth any amount of morning chaos in my book. Presumably he might then nap later and give you a rest when dd is in nursery?

Achieved a lot so far - yes I have.
Just finishing hoovering. I think I'll go to work a bit early as I'm now not running late!

galen · 14/05/2009 10:49

Done:
15 mins dining room
15 mins kitchen
Now 15 mins knitting!

damewashalot · 14/05/2009 11:19

Morning all, back from toddlers,grumpy baby to sort out then jobs to do. Got a friend coming around for a nappy demo this pm so need to do a quick panic rush around I really liked it when I was flying and didn't need to but I will get there again.

Gibberish no I've always been dame just was flying along time ago and keep trying to get going again.

Hope all are having a good day.

MaggieTulliver · 14/05/2009 11:24

Hi All.

Have had friend over but managed to s&s the bathrooms and hoover before she came.

laurasmiles · 14/05/2009 11:40

ooh Galen - love the 15 mins knitting idea! Maybe this will get me going on my poncho for dd. I might have some progess to show the kitting group next week!

MaggieTulliver · 14/05/2009 11:59

About to slum it and have fishfingers and smiley faces for lunch with dd2. We are all going for a sandwich tea at DD1s friends house.

galen · 14/05/2009 12:02

swan well done on what you've acheived, strangely dS still seemed exhausted when we got back from school so has napped, but seems in good mood now..

dame little steps remember! Good luck with nappy demo...

laura the knitting time was my reward for doing some housework!Have now taught myself to purl....so can now do stockingette or whatever its called....may try something else later...my scarf is becoming more experimental than I had imagined LOL

My new motto for the day :
"It's never as bad as it looks"

So having done 15 and 10min bursts all morning the house is returning to some state of order...I am managing NOt to get sucked into the "I must sort out the whole house NOW" way of thinking and am doing it little by little.....
Have done early lunch....
next - nursery drop off
Then to continue list...
will need to add another 15 mins washing sorting to list I fear...
but otherwise doing well
