Oh no FGS I feel for you. When is DH back?

We are off to music and movement this morning and then back for lunch and DS1 to Preschool.

I am planning to FLy at lunchtime, as not done much the last couple of days.

We did manage to finnish the garden off. We only need two bags of grannet chippings for the front now. So the patio is complete, as is the path - yippee

Off now - catch you all later

Jas and gem Hi.

I might even do todays mission LOL! Except the bit about the laundry room. I have a laundry house LOL.

Well I'm in good spirits today as I am planning an escape tomorrow. I have to go to opticians for routine eye test. Opticians in town so I will have to look round the shops too wink. Have no cash but have a voucher which i have been saving to buy a present for my sister (I'm sure there will be a little left for something for me too hmm).

Have fun this W/E!

Wow, where is everyone? Thought I was the only one who wouldn't have checked in this morning!
FGS Poor DD. Hope she's not suffering too much with it
TMH Hope you enjoyed music and movement
Gem Movie with DS sounds lovely
Jas Hi, hope the tidy up is going well
Scatty LOL at laundry house grin
Dyls Plumber still not coming till mon? What a pain, esp if you've been having messy play!

All good here. Just catching up with things really. Finally on top of the laundry (had forgotten our laundry basket had a bottom) and just need to dust upstairs and have a quick vacuum. House def looks better than a week ago so feeling quite pleased.
Anyone know where EHM is these days? As I haven't been around much didn't know if I'd missed something.

Right, off to wash the lunch dishes and fold some more laundry!

Evening All

I managed to get all the rest of my list done, plus I have hoovered downstairs and mopped too. The boys were in the sand pit and it can be a nightmare.

I am waiting for it to dry and then it is off for a soak and an early night.

Ruby - mine is on the wii
Contact the poster See this person's profile Contact mumsnet about this post By RubyRioja on Fri 16-May-08 21:57:44
I have been playing wii fit - really funny!

I'm OK at hula hoop but terrible at tight rope and worse at football!

Realy fab. If you are really unfit/unbalanced (like me) or recuperating after injury, could be really gentle way to get moving again.

You must get one!
