Thanks for the thread dylsmum.

Bookmarking. Back later.

Makingchanges · 15/03/2010 09:38

Morning Dylsmum that it a long list. Definately a couple of days worth (Go to the park)

Well I have worken up feeling energised (Don't know why when DD woke up at 6.40am and wouldn't go back to sleep). DD is deposited safely at nursery with lunch and her bedding is in the washing machine already with the lad from last night drying too.

List for today

  • Dry DD's bedding when finished washing
  • Washing our bedding and try and dry before tonight
  • Shops need eggs, bread and washing capsules
  • Gym for leg exercises
  • Assignment - got to be the slowest one in history. Autism is a fascinating subject but difficult cos of all the medical terms etc
  • Try making gluten free bread in my bread maker
  • Tidy spare room from where DH dumped everything whilst 'cleaning' yesterday. I can't get through to him that cleaning and hidding away is not the same
  • Make chilli for tea
  • Online banking - I'm sure someone is helping themselves to their bank account
  • Paperwork mountain - DH's method of filing was just dump everything in a box - grrr

That will do for now. Hope everyone has a nice day. BBL

Ev thanks for showing your lists, always looks super efficient that you manage these and keep up with other routines, am in awe don't think i could acheive all that

GO hope you have taken it easy this afternoon

MC good luck with the assignment, autism is interesting to read about but lots of it as it is such a broad spectrum.

dd and I are now off to make tea- sausage casserole

Have spent the day clearing up after party (rather halfheartedly)
and practising for my singing lesson - O For The Wings For The Wings
I think my singing has given me a headache

And found dd s/h camera locally, hope it works!!!

It's been quite a relaxing day...I always feel very relaxed the day after a party LOL

twins still at school doing sports, Ds1 has made himself four enormous sandwiches

MC - sometimes I help in supervision of a little 7/8 yr boy who is on spectrum (not a relative); in group situation competitive games cause a lot of trouble (he hates being out), but he loves being part of gang in other ways. I've learnt a lot from being with him although sometimes things can be fraught.

Ds1 is here by himself

swanriver · 15/03/2010 15:53

Not sure where that last line came from???? bad editing

Dylsmum you sound as if you had lots of fans on Mother's Day!

Makingchanges · 15/03/2010 16:03

I must admit the course is fascinating. I would like to do something with special needs hence why I started the course whilst sorting out PGCE. It really opens your eyes.

Well been to the gym, great session. Struggled a little as fighting a cold and haven't been since last monday due to DD being unwell but really enjoyed it. Had lunch there as well and took my essay stuff with me so I could work whilst waited for my jacket potato to come.

Best get on. I'm procrastinating again

Shannaratiger · 15/03/2010 16:25

Hello everyone, I'm sneaking back having seriously fallen off the wagon, due partly to too much FB and not enough structured flylady cleaning.
Back to babysteps tomorrow me thinks - off to find and dust off Control Journal.
Have a good evening everyone.

EVye · 15/03/2010 16:41

Shouted at DH. He is school governor but how come I am the one who knows everything about the school, been to see the teacher re: DS's non existent progress, baked cakes, going to Inspire ... seems that is my raison d'etre as a SAHM ... seriously fed up though! Rant over Calm, Wendy, Calm Calm Calm LOL
