LBB I don't think you missed a day...this my about my third attempt at FLYing so I already knew the ropes a bit, I attempt the missions as well as the babysteps but sometimes I miss out the missions...depends how I feel. When it is something like "dust the living room" it is easy to do that while watching eastenders the news

epimum · 28/05/2009 16:47

Of course! I was forgetting that half term brings it forward at least a couple of hours...

Wolfcub · 28/05/2009 17:50

Evening all appologies for being a crap flyfriend lately. I hope everyone is well.

Just put ds's dinner in the oven and I'm having a sit Dow , sod the fact that the house is a tip

scattyspice · 28/05/2009 17:52

I'm gonna join you ladies soon. Bought a lovely bottle of wine at Tesco this am and have been thinking about it all day .

DD is in a SILLY mood (tsk). She was very naughty at the railway museum (steam locomotives not her thing perhaps ).DS was quite interested though.
I'm afraid my fly machine seems to be grounded. Mil coming tomorrow so might have to do a crisis clean!

Hi epimum .

swanriver · 28/05/2009 17:57

Kitchen a bit tidier
dd has been explaining computer to me in words of one syllable
Have put a roast in oven
made btntsqsh soup
and stewed some rhubarb
hung out washing on line
thrown some items into various rooms
telly has been on for an hour...but to my horror dd emerged saying she couldn't be bothered to watch it and wanted me to do some research on computer with her...
And there is NO HOMEWORK

Feel the same as you Epimum but alas we are abstaining, well some of us are...

swanriver · 28/05/2009 18:00

Scatty!!! NO!

gibbberish · 28/05/2009 18:33

Don't you DARE Scatty!

Am off out for a few hours. Swan make sure she behaves herself please!

TheMadHouse · 28/05/2009 18:40

Evening all

I officailly hate Thursdays.

I hate taking my mum shopping, all DS1 and her did was wind each other up and I feel like a referree. You would think a 65 year old woman would know better What should have taken an hour took all bloody afternoon

So to make up for all the shopping I took the boys to the park for an hour and a half
Gave them a bath
Hotdogs and noodles for tea and ice cream for afters

I am now having a cuppa before putting them to bed and cracking on with the rest of my list, as I want to take them out for the day tomorrow

Welcome to the asylum Epimum

Prof scared if I start the drinking I wont shop

gib come and show me how to sew - I have a machine in the garage - prob is my mum was a super sewer, made all my clothes as a child and I know feel like she would be forver correcting me

I am shattered, but happy to have taked to the doc. Know it is the right thing to do, but dont like the fact that I am "back under the mental health teams umbrella!

Anyway, going to read to the mini's for 20 mins before bed

swanriver · 28/05/2009 19:16

well done you to round off afternoon with park and hotdogs
sorry about shopping and the gritting of teeth

Last thing I sewed was the bridesmaids' dresses. I loved sewing but my mother never never made my dresses, (her mum had been a great sewer) I think it skips a generation. Dh's great grandfather was a tailor.

scattyspice · 28/05/2009 19:19

Oh no I completely forgot I was abstaining!

Actually I think I've increased my intake since joining Gib's thread (it was the camping that broke me, one can't be expected to camp without assistance surely!).

Can I start again after half term? .

swanriver · 28/05/2009 19:41

[Swan from under a sack in abstainers' shed...]
well, you and dh have had a tough week, and I would treat it as a tonic, iron etc.
Quite agree that tis absolutely nec for camping, and of course DIY.

BBtommorrow, fresh and energetic

TheMadHouse · 28/05/2009 20:08

Scatty My two must haves for camping thermals (even in summer - I dont do cold sleep) and alcohol

I am a wee bit better now, DH has done some of my list to help

Ironing - done and away
Shopping away
Boys bed
2 x hotspots
3 x room rescues
Watered plants
Put grin round beds - slug's go away. Tis the one things that I ususally find I can not do organically - I am trying to again this year
Washer on

swan My two love bratworst (I just call them hot dogs) and noodles are a real treat, they wolf them down.

Wolf I am howling to you, hope things are all OK

galen hope you and yours are getting on OK and I am praying for your FIL

I am going to have a bit of quiet time with DH no and discuss how mad I am - Yes it is offical

scattyspice · 28/05/2009 20:19

you maybe mad, Mad, but you still rock!

littleboyblue · 28/05/2009 20:42

Evening. Just got back from a visit to my dad's. Kitchen is in a right old mess as again, I haven't done much in there today!! Really gotta get on top of it, but not tonight. BGT on now, dp gone to fish and chip shop. Ds's in bed, ironing piling up again and want to watch telly, so can't catch up on thread right now.
On the positive, I started my control journal. I wrote it in the car on way to dad's, check out that time management! lol
See you tomorrow.
