I'm enjoying the peace while sone of the DC potter around downstairs.

I should be laundry sorting, doing some ImportantAccounts and OneBagADay-ing but spotted my phone on charge, and got distracted.

Hoover, tidy away toys, drag snotty children away from iplayer, empty tumble dryer.... What I want to do is sleep because snotty children have given me the plague, too.

Absolutely nothing! We've been to Waitrose, just had a giant fry-up and now we're drinking tea and watching The Walking Dead. Best Saturday ever.

At the moment, nothing, as I am eating my lunch. The rest of my family, (A Small Boy™ and A Husband™) have already had theirs and have both been packed off to bed because they are ill.

As soon as I am done with my lovely solitary lunch, then I have to:

Fold laundry
Tidy front room
Accept and put away grocery order
Clean kitchen

Organising party bags and food for DS's party tomorrow - so not looking forward to dragging two arguing boys around town in the rain

I too should be sorting washing. But it can wait. And so can the invoicing. MN is far, far more important.

I should be putting on some make up to head out to the cinema.

And "hairdressing myself" as DS likes to call it.

Have to wait till my red blotchy face calms down as I have been crying. (combination of watching Red Nose day appeal videos and finding out some bad news)

Looking forward to a nice afternoon with DS though!

Grr.

Sorry about illness and stuff.

Planning a menu and shopping for vegetarians who are coming round for dinner tonight.

MardyBra Sat 16-Mar-13 12:59:48

Oh yeah. Washing too.

WallyBantersJunkBox Sat 16-Mar-13 13:00:07

All round to Tobys it is then!

I have loads of washing to do thanks to projectile vomiting DS2. However, he's currently lying on top of me asleep, so I'm MNing.

NotEnoughJamOnTheBread Sat 16-Mar-13 13:01:45

I've done a home keratin treatment on my hair which you can wash off after an hour so I should really be in the shower. Just 5 more minutes on MN....

MardyBra Sat 16-Mar-13 13:01:54

Shopping. School starts again on Monday and I need to fill the fridge/larder...

Trills Sat 16-Mar-13 13:05:59

I have found a channel that plays House all day.

I have a pile of diced pork that just looked at me and said "I'm not going to bloody well jump into the slow cooker myself, you know". The cheek. Well, loin actually.

I also have a date with the rugby upstairs. With cheese and shouting.

I'm not supposed to be doing anything, so have packed DP off out for the afternoon to watch football, DS is happily occupied with a large roll of wrapping paper and a pair of safety scissors and sellotape and I am eating toast.

Happy dyas.
