MONDAY Veteran FlyLadies NEW WEEKLY THREAD

[Starbear]

Morning I hope I've done the right thing

RR Will save on carpet stains too!
Oh! I forgot I also took clothes to dry cleaners (opposite end of town) & clothes to charity shop (not so lazy after all)
Now homework with littlebear

bedrooms hoovered
long tale of secondary school admission from another mother - absolutely gripping - like the best soap opera - culminating with priest denouncing the admissions policy of sought after school
also found out that I will have rewrite half the invites as dd is at a outward bound weekend the WEEKEND of her birthday party (the original date had been changed
so we can go to Nanny Mcphee after all, but that means changing all the invites which have Princess and Frog plastered all over them [sigh]
Given out ds2's invites.

don't envy you Ruby, where did you put the bed

MC glad your knee is a bit better.

The dcs are reading comics, dd is wandering around like some pathetic orphan saying I'm hungry I'm hungry despite numerous snacks. So I suppose I better go and make some pancakes....

Hi all . Am I in the right place? I have been AWOL for ages due to chest infec/extra things with dc/crisis at work. But now i am back and need to get cracking again.

Jobs to do today

• Put down ant spray in kitchen after a 10 o'clock visit to supermarket last night
• Look up about food testing. Really enjoyed the nutritional talk last night and he made alot of sense but he also gave us a questionnaire about gluton intolerance if you think you may be and if you ticked over 9 then it was likely you were intolerant - I ticked 17 . So i'm going to look into getting tested as its previously been mentioned that I may have intolerances

Hi all.

Thanks for missing me. It's amazing how quickly chaos descends when you stop flying . A weekly thread is a good idea.

star poor Ds seems you were right then (good instincts).

To do:
DS to gymnastics
change bedding
re boot laundry
sort out holiday club dates for Easter

Hi scatty lovely to see you
swan LOL at your hective (non) social life! I know what you mean and I've only got 2!
Malt loaf new recipe was a flop - it was from MN so I'll have to post feedback! Otherwise list is complete - hurrah!
Chilli for tea, DD and DS weren't keen last time (very mild for them) but am persevering!
Did most of my planning earlier for my lessons for my new temporary job - I am really giddy about it! We'll see how it goes and if I enjoy it perhaps I'll have to stop being a SAHM!
jas I got up early yesterday and felt better all day for it, getting stuff done when I would normally have been languishing in bed!
Better go, just sent DS to have a quiet moment because he just hit his sister then screamed at me!

Wendy malt loaf recipe in my book is eggless, 3oz of extract to 8oz wholemeal,1/4 of milk, and other things of course like sugar and butter and sultanas and baking powder. Does it sound similar?
Malt loaf is strange stuff.

Enjoy the lessons!

now to do rest of my list

Ruby, Tea can be found on her blog. Just look at your "favourites" (whenever you last logged on to her blog), she will be there under the old familiar name, you know the one I mean.

Hi Ruby

How many kids and what age?

With DD we did crown decorating with stick on jewels (no mess). Pin the kiss on sleeping beauty, Musical Statues (with classical music like a ball).

Also, you can 'fanfare' each guest as they arrive and lay out a red carpet.

TeaMonster has been Twitter but she's sorting lots of stuff out for her mum at the moment so has lots on.

Also these for 3-5yrs or these for 7-10 years or more 7-10 years instead of party bags

thanks swan The silly thing is I have a malt loaf recipe that always works, this was a new recipe using all bran but it just didn't work!
Hi Ruby and EVye Those party ideas sound really cool.
See you all tomorrow
