Fledglinh flyers November Part 2

[droitwitchmum]

Are we all ok?

To help you recover from the journey the babystep today is a 'catch up' one

Today's mission requires a ladder

The Christmas mission is about decluttering

Off to put the kettle on. Back in a minute

And with WtD - must be difficult to plan your day not knowing when your work is coming in

Well done on your long list and hope you get to the coffee and feet up stage quickly!!

OK, have caved on the attic as really need DH here to help as half the stuff is his and I don't want to wake DD running up and down the stairs with big heavy things!

Have stripped the bed and put pillowcases and sheet on to wash though!

Oh, and need to add going to the post office to my list as well!

hmm - was "browsing clothes websites with no intention to purchase" on my list? I don't think so!

Annabel can you call it 'me' time?

not doing too badly here, but still much to be done!

Dishwasher stack unstack, restack - done
Washing * 4 - 2 done
Mop kitchen floor - done
Put away clean laundry - done, but more generated!
Bleach rest of grout in bathroom - done
Dust bedroom
Hoover bottom of stairs - done
Take back library books - done
Dinner for 4 inc. BIL
Pair sock mountain
clutter clear dressing table
Some paid work -
evening routine
go to bed @ 10:30!

Evening all, another one here who went to bed a bit earlier (lights out at 11) but didn'te get to slepp for about an hour and a half. This windy weather is very unsettling. Our power is flickering tonight.

DD at home day so lots of play not much flying, just maintenance. Kids are whingy because Sky has given up in the bad weather, both have refused their dinner because it is "disgusting". Grrr.

Better go, waves generally.

Evening all..

Glad you enjoyed the bacon butties. This virtual eating and drinking is great, isn't it?
Mrs D don't you just hate it when the little darlings do that? We've just had World War 3 here where DD and DS2 just yelled at each other for half an hour over laptop (Sims) versus TV (one Tree Hill). In the end, after my attempts at intervention where ignored completely, I removed myself and the laptop to come on here (that'll show 'em!).
Calm has now been restored to the Optimistic household!
HaG glad the baptism went well...
Big waves to SC, Annabel, PmPY, DWM,DEM, DTG, WTD, Ellie, PA and everyone else. If I've forgotten you please forgive me!

Wine will be open in about an hour. White, red PLUS red chilli crisps! ( I spoil you all ,I really do!)

lol Annabel about "no intention to purchase" ...I'm afraid I spent a good hour doing this today

Having a dreadful attack of the cba'sed!!! Must be the weather, it barely got light here today. Or perhaps it's having had a good night's sleep (I think, perversely, I actually may feel happier and more 'active' on less than 7 hrs ... but we'll see)

Congrats on your mega-listq today WtheD and PushmePullyou

Too embarrassed to post the list of things I haven't done but at least main rooms spick and span, sink gleaming, washing and ironing up-to-date so not all bad ...sigh ...there's just so much MORE to do ...

Please can I put in a request for virtual bacon sandwiches again tomorrow as it will stop me eating the real ones ....?

Aiming for bed at 10pm tonight ...but not going to post unrealistic lists this evening ...

G'night all ...

Evening all,

Cook dinner doneandclearedaway
S/S bathroom didbutDHtrashed
Survive boring meeting after work done
Evening routinedone

Gutted I missed bacon sandwiches...and on a weekday. More please OM, thanks for the wine and chilli crisps going down nicely .

SC, I know if I have a good night's sleep it takes me much longer to get going of a morning than it does if I have been tossing and turning.

MrsDinky the horror of no Sky due to bad weather, I fully sympathise..I actually had to entertain my children for half and hour tonight .

PMPY - very impressive list today. Go straight to the top of the class , a position however you must share with Annabel and WTD (with whom I have complete sympathy where Power Rangers paraphernalia is concerned.)

HAG baptism sounds lovely, glad you had a wonderful day..something you will always remember

DTG and tibni am complete opposite to you. If I actually did today's mission, would be there all night .

QOD sounds like you are doing fabulously, it's great when DP/H's finally notice isn't it (emphasis on the finally in the elliepac household)

Big waves to everyone I have missed DEM (hope knee is feeling better) PA (did you get paint sorted?, MM and anyone else i've missed (sorry if it's you ).

Am going now to drink wine .

Don't get blown away everyone!

Mrs D even when she cooks it herself a la "I can cook" dd not keen on food at the mo and uses the d word (not for fish fingers though, obviously!). Bit wearing after a while, you have my sympathies. And no proper telly either
I know this is a bit sad maybe, but sometimes your lists remind me of jobs that need doing - eg PMPY - I need to bleach the grout too!
WtD hope work came in at a convenient time
Ellie hope meeting bearable
DWM - daily thank you for this thread tibni I prob missed this, but what kind of puppy? And hope laptop better soon.
Hello all others
Reaching a critical point in flying. Always good at the starting bit with new stuff then get a bit obsessive then peter off. Saw it coming - thinking that drinks and meal out on Fri would interrupt bedtime routine! Needless to say I am going. Think I need shorter lists next few days and do bit less.
Off to run bath

Hi All

I was in bed by 10:55, yay!

Been out with the girls from work tonight and full of yummy food! Got to do hotspots and putting away washing for 30 minutes then off to bed.

Day with DS tomorrow, hurrah, and a bit of time to catch up with you all too!

Babystep today is about control journals again

Today's mission is to clean out the bottom of your wardrobe (if you can open the door for all the stuff on your bedroom floor )

Morning all....coffee,tea,croissants etc

Just off to do station run and to think about my massive list that needs posting.

See you all in a bit....

Morning all,

I am a very tired elliepac this morning. DD (20mth) was up from about 1.30 crying/sleeping/crying/sleeping ad infinitum until 5.30 when she just got up. Was wondering what on earth was wrong with her as she is normally a great sleeper but evidence this morning (won't go into it, tmi) suggests it was constipation bless her. SHe's fine now but at least she can nap today, I have full day at work .

Not list posting this morning as can't think straight (no change from usual there then ). Just wanted to say to DEM that I hope your observation goes well and you managed to get some sleep.

Have a good day!

Back again!

I also wanted to say good luck to DEM and look after yourself won't you...early night tonight with a bit of luck!
Poor you elliepac - just get through the day, get an early night too and start again tomorrow! Hope your big kids are nice to you today

Today I really do have to get back on track although with all the flying behind me the last 2 missions have only taken 5 mins not 15! it does work!

Today:
clean large casserole dish from last night
change DDs bedding done
think about supper done (sausages )
PAY BILLS
sort out DS2 phone contract ( he's costing a fortune as he has discovered a social life!)
make 3x return calls
mission
zone stuff
washingdryingironingwashingdryingironing ad infinitum
eat lots of

My mind has gone blank now and I'm sure there was more but I think that's plenty to be going on with...

Have a good day all. Check in later...

Annabell - we have a 17 week yellow lab puppy who is gorgeous. Dh is just walking him as we have an 8am-6pm possible collection time for the broken laptop (so I have snuck into his office! LOL).

Had a real wizz around this morning - got ironing done, s/s, bedrooms and general tidy round and i'm now going to spend a couple of hours at the gym. Dh has to go out this afternoon so I may get chance to pop back on and catch up with all of you

Have a good day

Where is everyone today?

Ellie Hope you are feeling ok. Lack of sleep on that scale is just VILE. I do find tho, that once I gte past mid morning it settles to a dull ache and I some how dont feel as bad as I think I should. Its the first part of day that is worst

MrsD I would be impressed ahd I actually DONE the Christmas Card list. Sadly I didnt

DEM Hope the obs go ok, and dont feel like a fraud. Youa re doing SO brilliantly to do this whilst you are doing everything else. I fo one am very impressed and proud.
