ludathanks for the thread, you are up early for some one who was on the lash last night, or did you not go to bed bianca nice to see you.Hope work is ok today.
I've cleaned the BBQ this morning, and hung out 1 load of washing. another in wm. I am having my haircut this morning & legs/underarms & eyebrows waxed too.
Hope all is well with you & your lo's sorry for the lack on personal messages today.x.x
Feeling very fragile this morning! I did my famous trick of getting waaaaay to drunk before we even left the house! Any memory of the first half of the evening is therefore quite sketchy....I ate a hot dog at some point, and was then very ill but then sobered up completely, so the second half of the evening was better (except my feet were absolutely killing me and once sober I felt the pain!) My 2 friends didn't fair much better....we must have looked sooo queer.
The sugarbabes didn't turn up, but they gave £10 of drink tokens out as an apology. The vengaboys were good! Goldie lookin chain were just very noisy LOL Bjorn again were good, but my feet ached so much I couldn't dance any more!
Up at 7am this morning, as DH is marshalling a rally all day today.
Washing galore, have to do the beds today. DD1 was sick last night in my absense so DH obviously just did what needed doing but left a pile of towels and pyjamas for me to deal with
DH gone on holiday until late Tuesday night so I hope to get house sorted quite a bit. Hopefully the girls will let me. Still cant go out as DD1s spots still havent all scabbed over. I do hope to send her back to pre-school on Monday though to get some semblance of routine back into things.
FGS I hope the shops scab ASAP Luda Glad you enjoyed the night out - Sorry about the pile though Bainca Pants about the working EHM Underarms - urggggggggggggg. I tried, but was way to painful for me to bear
I had a lovley lie in and a nice peaceful shower. We are going to buy carrot seeds and enjoy the garden today
Hi all 10 mins of homework with dd has taken 2 1/4 hours! She gets herself into a complete frenzy, as do I. I am totally fed up with it really. We are spending so much time making the house nice, and the girls bedrooms nice I start to feel perhaps we are not focusing on her, but we have had extra curric activities and nice meals in the garden, and decorating their rooms. I am trying to work out whether she is spoiled or over indulged. She is lovely so long as she can do whatever she wants!
Sorry to ramble on - seems to be the same moan from me atm. aaaragh! Neighbours will be calling social services!
DH agrees so I don't know whether she is genuinely being a brat, or whether we are ganging up on her.
Luda - Glad you enjoyed your night out No sympathy for fuzzy head and sore feet....it is the price you pay for a good night out!
Ruby - you dd sounds like most of the girls I kno tbh I'm hoping it is a phase, too.
Lol @ TMH hoping the shops scab soon You will find those seeds within 2 hours of buying the new ones...it always happens that way.
Bianca - Good to see you back. I hope you get some sunshine time later today.
EHM - Enjoy your beautifying No waxing of underarms is happening here....to painful!
FGS - Fingers crossed for the last few scabs over the weekend.
Well it is ovel here, and dd1 has go friends coming for tea later. DP has taken all 3 out to try and get some crocs for ds....just rang to say they don't have his size in stock
I'm still trying to sort out the kids room, and have discovered that both paddling pools appear to have disappeared
EHM I cleaned our BBQ this morning. We are hoping to have a small BBQ later for tea.
Bianca My xp2 used to moan about having to work in the week when the weather was great but when he was home at weekends it would either be raining or cloudy. On good weekends he said it always seemed he had to work indoors.
RR When you say DD is ok as long as she is getting her own way is just like DS1 can be. Then it went down hill from there are even when he could do "whatever" he wanted he would still kick off. We could not win. He is much better now as long as he takes his meds.
Jas I find when I try and get shoes for DS2 that they dont have his size in stock and end up having to wait for stock to come in. The "Borrowers* have the padding pools. I cant find our air pump. I know its here somewhere as we used it at Christmas time to blow up an air bed. I put it somewhere safe. So safe I dont remember where it is.
I better get some lunch ready. DC are all happy outside playing. It nearly seems a shame to call them in for lunch.
DDand I managed to make some jam tarts this morning. We had run out of nearly everything and she was hungry . Supermarket shop just delivered and put away. We've just watched Gladiators, Takeshi's castle and are now watching Raven. I am trying to distract her from going outside as it is too hot and her scabs mean I cant get sun cream on her.
DD2 is alseep. Not sure what I'm going to do with them this afternoon, but I have promised DD1 she can stay up and watch Britain's got talent with me tonight.She saw it last week when ill and really like it. I promise I do more than watch tv with DD1....
Ruby - a friend told me a while ago that 2-3 times a year her daughter has a 3-4 week patch of 'awfulness'. Where she is sulky, rude, angry etc. Just as you begin to think that you woulkd win "worst parent of the year" they snap out of it. I have found this with DD1. And it makes me feel much better to know that a) it will pass and b) it is not my fault.
Well the beds are all changed, lots of washing to do! Line is full so will have to wait for this load to dry before I can put sheets out.
DD1 is asleep on the sofa, DS is not far off asleep....says he has stomach ache DD2 is full of beans and is following me around chatting in my ear beacause she hasn't got the other two to occupy her!
Ruby I have the raspbery one. Not so keen on the life book - to big, but love my calender.
jas what size is he. I can look here and post, I got DS1s off a web site. I will try and remember which one - it was really prompt delivery and cheaper than the shops at the time.
I'm still doing washing! I have hoovered the living room aswell and tidied round. Sat and huggled DS for a bit, he has fallen asleep again. DD1 is awake but hasn't moved!
My kitchen looks great. I cleared the 2 hotspots and just shined my sink for the first time is ages. All worktops are cleared, and this is all AFTER the girls have had dinner. As DH is away it should stay that way for a bit too
Tomorrow I plan to try and do the same with the living room
We are now all tucked up inside, as it has got cold outside.
We have done loads in the garden adn had a nice day ended with a BBQ witi my mum (although I had to collect her and drop her off). I am keeping her sweet as she is coming to look after the boys twice next week for my consultants appointments
We have planted runner beans, carrots (found the pack), spring onions too
In fact I have so many pots DH is going to find the time to make me some raised beds
He has layed half a path
We have planted a rose, its a rambler for our back fence.
I have to pot up the hanging baskets tomorrow, we have all the plants but the winter/spring stuff still looks OK
Anyhow plans for tomorrow is
DH to change his breakpads Pic nic and afternoon out Back to do more gardening SUnday evening routine
kitchen cleaned washing up done wm loaded and on dw loaded and on washing hung up shopping done- summer clothes for ds overdue dvd taken back to library dp taken to town and collected again
anyone know how to replace lights and fuses on a skoda?
I have woken with a migraine I have been getting lots of them lately. Luckily I have a new prescription tablet that takes the worst away.
FGS Hurrah for the clean kitchen!! I could do with mine staying clean!
Dylsmum my feet still hurt!! They are getting better though thanks
Ruby my email address is ludaloo @ lycos dot com. Mail me, and I'll mail you back my address Thank you
Well I have finally managed to save a little bit of money to buy the kids some new clothes. They all need summer stuff. DD1 is the most needy, she doesn't have even one pair of shorts, and she only has two pairs of trousers, one of which are so big we have to roll the tops over....then she has two t-shirts and a few long sleeve tops, but the sleeves are half way up her arm and fit DD2 better than they fit her! poor lamb! we have had to rotate the three full outfits she has all winter, and now the summer is here she has absolutely nothing! The other two are ok as they have a lot of hand me downs. So my mission for today is to spend some cash!
Just hoping no one is sick, as dh has gone to work so can't stay at home with them while I go.
morning i'm off to buy dd some sandals today. she worre her trainers all day the other day and her feet stank lol they are all she has to go with her shorts, her shoes just dont look right. then we're off to nanny and grandads for dinner. assuming ds behaves as i will just bring him home again like i did last night not sure what else to do to stop his behaviour ,although was seriously tempted to slap him yesterday he was that bad. very unlike me i dont smack. think he realised he'd pushed me too far as he got in the car and was quiet for ages and then said sorry. not been too bad since so fingers crossed my thunder face worked!
i've done loads this morning have tidied and hoovered, washed up, we've all had breakfast. have stripped te dc beds and remade them. last load in washer now. and i stood and did 2hours of ironing. so i now have no ironing pile .
Tort - try and find the source - we had a small hole under out stairs cupboard. Mice had chewed one of my hessian bags and we found more droppings. This was only after we had gone mad at the cat for bringing in his 10th mouse - and all the time hed beeen catching them from inside. If you can find where they are coming from then you can block the hole.
Thanks FGS. Found more droppings under WM and TD. Will look under fridge and freezer too. Not sure where it is hiding! Hopefully it came in and went out again! There are a few gaps where pipes come in like where xp put the outside tap in! Should i get pest control in? Do they spread disease like rats?
Many thanks for the congrats to Ed, he's well proud of himself and was so chuffed that the 'Cars Fairy' had been to leave him Dusty and Rusty Rusteeze and Mia and Tia
Was unable to get on yesterday, internet access issues sadly ( I felt like I'd had a part of me lobbed off, no net, no MSN, no eBay, no E-mails nothing, what the hell did I do before Broadband and a Laptop?)
I hve been busyish, Yesterday I clean downstairs, mopped the bathroom, stripped and remade our bed. Today I'v e repositioned the greenhouses, re-organised the patio area, prunned shrubs, swept the patio and garden, repaired the wobbly greenhouse, hung out washing and done a huge pile of ironing in the garden.
To Do

It's just lovely and sunny here, I hope this keeps up for the summer

i went over to dockside got dd her sandals they are lovely. also bought her a new summer dress- its gorgeous cant wait to put it on her. a alice band to go with the dress and myself some new sunglasses. have just got back froom nanny and grandads with dd. ds is being delivred home in an hour or so. glad to say he's been very good today a great improvement on yesterday but unfortunaelty dd had massive tantrum which is why i'm home already. ds painted a bird box last summer for at nannys house and he now has baby birds in it but also meant their was some wet poo in the garden which dd found before any of us so i had to take off her yucky football kit and put on a dress, she didnt agree with me doing this and threw a tantrum which went on forever, i decided i'd had enough and bought her home as she was tired. she's now asleep and i have peace its lovely. i have tidyed the kitchen sorted out the washing i have got dry on the clothes horse ironed it and out away. everywhere (almost) is tidied. its so much esasir when no children here messing it up or behind me mummying. i still need to clear the living room coffee table off and then clean the bathroom then i can get down to some proper cleaning
RR I've already emailed Jingly earlier this week will some info which I hoped would help her.
We are going on holiday tomorrow morning so I've been washing, shopping, packing this morning. Went to friends this afternoon so Ellie could play in paddle pool. House will be cleaned top to bottom tonight once ellie is in bed.
I am back the evening of the 19th so see you ladies sometime after that. TMH Wanted to wish you well for you appointments next week.x.x.x
DD1 all kitted out for the summer....DS has new shorts and trousers, DD2 has new summer shoes and tops, I have some vest tops and some new flip flops and DH has a new flat, LCD screen for the comp. All happy
Weather is still beeeyootiful!
Ruby did you catch my earlier post with my email address?
Had a good afternoon. Took the dog for a walk and got bread. poor thing collapsed on his bed when we got back and i had to take his water to him!
Then played out on the trampoline for a while after lunch.
Didnt get much else done.
Need to get up earlier tomorrow. DS1 needs to be at school at 8.30 for breakfast everyday before doing SATs all week. Will have to hang around until 8.50 when other 2 will be allowed in. DD1 has a farm trip tomorrow too.
but then sobered up completely, so the second half of the evening was better (except my feet were absolutely killing me and once sober I felt the pain!)
I have been getting lots of them lately. Luckily I have a new prescription tablet that takes the worst away.
