Wolf hope you are feeling better and have had some sleep. Are you at work today?
swan liked the spreadsheet idea, I need to do a similar one for me too, to organise what I do when now I have two hours of child free time
tea hope it's going ok with your mum and everything else!
everyone Morning!!
Sorry I missed you all yesterday. DD was ill in the afternoon - stomach ache, tired, lethargic, hot. DH mananaged to end of day but was violently and frequently vomiting all night. DS fine! I had a stomach ache too but managed to eat a lot of chocolate and cake LOL
Just off shopping for a few birthday gifts. Next week I am going to timetable my time!

Done
recycling out (think bin men have taken some of it before got chance to sort it - why do I bother having these revolting piles in my kit)
dcs to school cheerfully & uneventfully, except all a bit late
dh and I managed to have words last night about garden because I accused him of never creosoting fence (well a bit more complicated than that - generally DIY gripes) and he then said why did I have time to go swimming? - touche..
So he left in sulk, and now I don't know whether to tackle garden mess or go swimming DAMN. He hates swimming.
will try quick swim

Tea you are very very kind to do all these things for your mother, and I am sure she does appreciate them (deep down), and the los see you showing her care and attention and that is good too.

TeaMonster · 03/02/2010 09:51

Morning all

I am OK, just tired, but life goes on.

Today I will mostly be taking Mini swimming, cooking lunch for all, taking mini to preschool, taking mum to the bank and home to get her injection.

Then I have to make my bed, as Mini was sick in it, all that coughing
Curry for dinner

Tortoise · 03/02/2010 09:58

Morning.

Lovelly wet morning! Got Soaked on the school run.

Trying to psyche myself up to attack the bottom of the stairs! It has got very bad and yesterday i spilt a load of rabbit food! Will do it soon!!

swanriver · 03/02/2010 10:39

Hi- Tortoise - didn't realise you had rabbits?

Been for swim in record time, only 12 lengths, but there was too many people in lanes and some rugby team training in main bit. Think I was in for only 12 minutes! met a friend doing 40 lengths but she had goggles
think it is after all more fun swimming with the kids!!!!

now piano, library help, then need to take ds to physio at 11.20, then piano lesson, then afternoon of non-stop application to various duties.

Tortoise · 03/02/2010 13:23

Have tidied and cleaned kitchen work top and top of cooker. Really had to force myself to do it though. I wanted to get off my arse and know i need to do the housework but find it so hard just to go and do it. In reality, once i start it doesn't actually take long.

Wolfcub · 03/02/2010 13:51

afternoon all

grouchyoscar · 03/02/2010 14:23

Hello FLYers

I'm popping back. Life has been a tad chaotic recently and, I haven't thought to post

Boris is box bound, the house is ticking over nicely I have missed you all

Off to sort out some laundry and also vac the front room rug

see ya later

Makingchanges · 03/02/2010 15:43

Tort - I always have to force myself - Usually find I do most of what should have been done throughout the day in the last hour before DH gets home but it is quite satisfying if you find that you have been able to get things done

Grouchy - Glad to see you back, hope the choas calms down

Wolf - sorry about the doc. Don't give up and if you feel you need help go back and ask for it

Well training was great. Found great information and useful ways of doing something that I have been doing for 9 months at another school with no training - Just goes to show the differences between schools.

A book I've ordered has just come 'the lovely bones' read a review on it after it was recommended so am taking that with me to the dentist as I've got the sign language stuff read already. Hope its good.

Right back to change the washing round and to a quick swish of the bathroom before dentist then tea and out again. Do you ever have one of these days when you don't seem to be in the house for any period of time.

Makingchanges · 03/02/2010 15:55
