Ooooooohhhh, that's exciting, and a bit of an honour, I feel like the Leader!

I've spent most of today cleaning the kitchen! DDs are meant to be doing their bedroom.
All through this my Brother is having fun laughing and chatting and playing games on the pc Angry. Yes he did ask if there was anything he could do but no doubt he wouldn't have a clue on how to do anything so I said I couldn't think of anything.

I have the whole house to do by Thursday Morning for the house inspection that I cancelled last month! As usual have left most of it to the last minute.

Right, that's my 5 minute break over! Back to it!

Tortoise · 16/02/2013 17:35

And I've just cleaned the floor, got to the pc chair, started cleaning floor around it and by the chair legs and he didn't even offer to fucking move! Angry Angry Angry. (sorry for swearing!)

DancingInTheMoonlight · 16/02/2013 18:41

I would present him with a list of jobs for tomorrow or get him to take or all of your dcs while you get stuck in!

TheHumancatapult · 16/02/2013 21:12

Yup I go for the job list to after a clip round the ear

Tortoise · 16/02/2013 21:22

I just don't know what jobs to give him. Even though he's 18 he doesn't have a clue! Actually starting to regret taking him in. I already have 4 dc I don't need another child to look after!

TheHumancatapult · 17/02/2013 04:34

Tortoise maybe time to tell him shape up or ship out cruel be kind .Cloth and spray tell him go clean the bathroom to it shines or wipe all skirting boards vacuum stairs sort of thing ? wash up or any job you hate Wink

Call it training for own place if he argues ( ds1 is coming up 19 and is pretty housetrained now )

Tortoise · 17/02/2013 23:05

I don't feel like if got much done today. Bathroom is now clean and today and area by back door is also clean and today.
Also helped DS2 create a volcano shape cake for his science homework.
So much still to do by Thursday Morning.

Human I know you are right but he wouldn't do the toilet! There's a lot he needs to learn but I would have to tell him step by step what needed doing. There's stuff in the upstairs loo that need putting in the loft. He could do that but I'd have to show him what to put in so it's quicker for me to do it all!

TheHumancatapult · 18/02/2013 03:33

Yeah can understand that quicker for you . Maybe after house inspection time start breaking jobs into stages and showing him

Hope everyone else had a good weekend

TheHumancatapult · 18/02/2013 05:49

Workout done ( trying do 45mins to a hour 5 days a week hopefully breakfast and coffee in peace which bring half term is in short supply

TheHumancatapult · 18/02/2013 05:50

Being not bring Blush

DancingInTheMoonlight · 18/02/2013 06:26

Weighing in today at 10lb 12 so 2lb on. Did have takeaway and wine this week tho and want calorie counting very accurately. Oh well, another week, another weigh in...

TheHumancatapult · 18/02/2013 07:03

Dancing

Look at it over the month and balances out better . I shall be talking own advice in April

DancingInTheMoonlight · 18/02/2013 08:06

Yeah. I'm going to be extra good this week as out on a date with dh on Fri for or anniversary and i know i will be eating calorific food (pre chosen menu). Just desperate not to fall back into bad patterns!

DancingInTheMoonlight · 18/02/2013 08:09

NobbyClark · 18/02/2013 08:25

Same dancing but hurrah still not over 14 stone. And we went out for a meal and it was half term so inevitably a bad week.

Onwards and upwards!

Tortoise · 18/02/2013 08:28

I forgot to weigh this morning. Will do it tomorrow instead.

Feeling happy and positive this morning. Got lots to get done, keeping busy means not snacking.

DC back to school today. Smile

JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 18/02/2013 09:01

Lost 2 lbs since last Monday so i'm pleased. 158lb so need to do 5 to be less than 11 st by Easter.

You're right human my loss has slowed right down too. I am so bored with this now. Next week I need to find some new recipes to keep me interested in food again.

Half-term for us so taking dd1 to London to see some dinosaurs.

NobbyClark · 18/02/2013 09:25

Oh no jealous, have just had my half term!
Did another session with my tai chi man so am feeling virtuous about that!

ICBINEG · 18/02/2013 11:01

lo all. Nice one johhny, glad it turned around.

We have had food poisoning/norovirus not sure which. It has been a hell of a weekend and the only possible up side is that in spite of being up on monday's weigh in on friday I am now down 3 lbs. I am sure it won't stay that way as I am prob dehydrated but hey.

So that's 10 st 5.

TheHumancatapult · 18/02/2013 12:39

Wow icb

Though ugg not quite best way to achieve but claim all the same.

Half term here to enjoy dinosaurs Johhny they are rather fab

Nobby glad enjoyed your tai chi session

DancingInTheMoonlight · 18/02/2013 12:45

Well i woke up to ds sporting an impressive temperature and snot fest. Let's hope it doesn't result in another trip to hospital....

I've behaved myself so far today tho there really are too many temptations!

Well done everyone on their weight losses, let's hope the weather stays nice over half term!

NobbyClark · 18/02/2013 17:30

Mega ich well done. Oh no dancing I hope your DS is ok. I freak out and panic every time my dd coughs or sneezes, I get an actual twisty knot in my stomach in case we end up in a and e again.

Oh oh again, so jealous I am back at work tomorrow!

TheHumancatapult · 18/02/2013 18:53

How is ds feeling now dancing .we need spring infact we need a proper summer and well kids

DancingInTheMoonlight · 18/02/2013 23:06

He's ok i think. Seems to have a cold brewing. He has febrile convulsions so it is his temperature we have to watch. He teens to wait until dh is the other end of the country/ abroad too! Hopefully all i will hear over the monitor tonight is snotty snoring!

TheHumancatapult · 19/02/2013 04:01

Ah dancing they can be scary all mine have had them . I used to shove calpol /neurofen down throat at first hint of fever after a while . Hope he is sleeping
