The Monday FLY thread

[SimplyWantsAMagicWandPlease]

Morning everyone!

The mission is here

Back in a mo.

I'm still in my pjs so I'd better get dressed and come back when I'm in a position to get cracking! Bbl.

Hello All

Just passing by. Have to rest up

Big waves from the Grouchy house

Morning ALL Thank you Simply for the thread.
What a rollercoaster weekend. We had a fab night out on Saturday a Bollywood evening at a local restaurant got back to my roots ha ha)
I enjoyed reading Mariella but, she didn't give any advice. DH has had some major mood swings this weekend. I think its partly down to work he just can't unwind at the weekend & to tell the truth I am untidy and disorganised but, he'll have to live with it & not comment! If you can't say anything useful don't say anything at all!!! Which did mean he was biting his lip yesterday on the way to Chessington. But when he saw his little boy's face beaming with joy and our lovely friends around us he relaxed and loved every moment of it. Hope the weekend worked out for everyone and the DHs are out of your hair! Ds was up at 4am & 5am! So feeling very tired this morning.
Back in a mo with a list.

Just booked the train tickets for the Blackpool trip. I think it's on! Keeping it a secret from GOjr. Just getting on a train and then he 'll realise he's going to the seaside

Cuppa time for me before I hit my paper work least fav thing to do after cleaning the oven. If I'm good I'll go for a lovely Autumn walk.
Thank you galen for the ToysRus tips. I'm going to try and keep it very simple around here for Christmas.

Hi everyone,
Hi Starbear and others,
today is lovely - not quite sure why but
feel like there's loads of time to get things done
might even venture out for a swim
piano practice first
sausage cass from freezer for tonight and dd's friend round to play

just had a nice long chat with a friend on phone about annoying kitchens, maths-challenged kids and various matters

done most of routines rather badly
recycling
dw unload and reload
laundry in
bath s & s
looked up white elec single ovens on net (not much choice)

TM - I have a friend who designs websites - she always worked parttime, not particularily lucrative but earned essential pennies.

x-posted everyone, on the phone too long
can imagine beautiful autumm days now all over the country

TEA - now if you were talking to Grouchy and she had flu, TM you would suggest she went to bed for rest/reboot while ds2 in preschool, NOT do ironing or tidying.

Hello to everyone who has come on since my last post. Just having a cup of tea.

TM As swan says, please take it easy as you have flu. Think of it as, the more you look after yourself now, the quicker you'll get better!

go I'm glad you got the messages and know that we think and care about you.

The kitchen is now cleaner and tidier. I need to do more before doing a 'done' list, though!

afternoon all

taking lunch break as ordered by boss!

done
some of the dry washing mountain put away
some of washing on airer folded
wm unloaded and wet washing hung up
very quick and minimal tidy of living room and kitchen - my house is a pig sty.
ds taken to granny's

bbl hopefully

tea you take it easy Mrs. If I have to come up there to beat you with your own broom for doing too much I will!

Done
loads of piano practice (it is difficult)
now out to pool and look at ovens

TM we're as bad as each other! If you've been battling flu for 3 weeks I'd take Swan's suggestion and get a rest

Hark at me

Ok, OK, OK, I have given in. Can not even cope with the sound of the washing machine - so have turned it off and will deal with things later.

I have just scoffed a peanut butter and nutella sanwich - most yummy, salty and sweet - nice.

I will do the min and DH is going to work from home tomorrow.

Good for you TM

Afternoon all

Have could DD's cold (thankfully not flu - Look after yourself Tea) and feeling a little fuzzy headed. I'm terrible when I feel ill cos I just comfort eat - So far today I have had a choccie muffin and two (small) cheeseburgers - Will not be happy tomorrow at weigh in.

Just catching up before I get on with my 'homework' for Spanish class tonight. Have done shopping already and re-washed washing in washing machine - Does anyone else wash washing then forget to dry in and so have to re-wash - annoying.

Was off to gym but since feeling so bad not gonna bother - don't think it will help my sore throat and nowing me i'd sneeze, lose my balance and fall off treadmill.

Not had too good a day in school today - Teacher was being quite negative about prospects of finding a job etc and that I hadn't got enough experience - I did explain I can only get the experience the headteacher allows and I have gone to other schools to add to it - Think she was just having a Monday morning moan and I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I've ordered one of those saress sarong thingies for my holiday - I'm sure i'll still look fat but if not I'll be in shorts and a t-shirt all holiday and would like to be a little more holidayish on the beach - we'll see

Hopefully will BBL

Please ignore the shocking spelling in my last post - was rushing

wendy spotted this whilst browsing ToysRus - half price train table, but still a bit ££ and comes with track which you probably dont need, but thought you may want to take a look. My DS1 never had a train table - just used to set track up on floor - but would have been a good idea. Think I will get one for DS2 when he's a bit older.

although should also add that all DC, not just DS have played with the train set and they all love it....would be nice to to be tripping over the darned thing though!

And Yes TM to bed with you immediately....

nothing like seeing something in RL..[rejects NET completely]
definitely going to have to be another NEFF oven, others make horrid banging noises when doors closed
MC - suppose it's all part of the training, meeting grumpy teachers
sarong sounds elegant!

Wow Ruby - you have been busy!

Sympathies to those with colds/flu.
Great tip Galen - will investigate later.
Sounds like a good weekens Star

Have been busy today. I'm finding having 2 DC at school plus the extra activities difficult to stay ontop of (how do you manage Galen?).

Today - done:
cleaned floors
culled mags

BB tomorrow.
