Good morning
I'm up way too early this morning - was woken at 5.50 by one of thoses awful leg cramps that make you leap out of bed! Couldn't get back to sleep so have ended up getting up and on.
I'm off to make the packed lunches and get all the days clothes out - see you all later

Morning shouldbe You aren't pregnant are you? That is the only time I ever get those crapms...oh the memories of hopping around the bedroom in agony

I do the bath every day[smug]
No laundry room = no bin

I do have lots of other stuff to do, and have to get myself out ofthe house and talking to real people today (no offence ladies but I hope you kwim)

Morning shouldbe and Jelley

There will be a list later but have done this up to now

Kids breakfast, 3 out of 4 dressed
W/M on and load of towels and bath mat in tumble dryer
Kitchen bin emptied.
Not doing too bad as far as that's concerned...though I have managed to fill my coffee cup full of coffee that was supposed to be put in the cannister!

Morning shouldbe and jelley. Its bin day today in any case so will be emptying them all. Will clean the bath though as I have got sloppy where that is concerned as mostly we all have showers.

I agree jelley I only got those sorts of cramps when I was pregnant but would almost be screaming as I stomped around the bedroom.

Morning Jelley, Aufish and glitter No, not pregnant...well, don't think so anyway ...would be quite a if I was! I'm putting it down to all the cycling/digging I've done this week.
Better get on with getting the lo's ready - both are dressed (though I'm not) and lunches are packed. Need to sit dd down to have her hair done next.....

so, now dd says she hates me and all because I've used to the last of the bread for sandwiches so there's none for toast...we have plenty of cereal but she hates that too apparently ...she's such a drama queen!
Have snuck away and am letting dh deal with breakfast time while I get dressed....

Hello to all esp newbies. Good to see you again Flame.

Well shouldbe - don't let it be said that I don't practice what I preach! I followed myself the advice I gave you the other night. I don't think you got it, having read the next days thread but never mind, my dh isn't complaining and neither am I!

Okay. Not working today and the cleaner hasn't rung so I don't think she is coming this week after all, so I've got a lot to do. I've just looked up whilst stretching a bit and there is a cobweb coming down from the ceiling right above me!

So far:-
Done:-
~ put the bin out
~ unload, reload and put on d/w
~ put a load in w/m


To do:-
~ ring school and find out if uniform is changing or not
~ ring school uniform supplier and order more in bigger size
~ loads and loads of housework
~ sort out the old fashioned boots I have that I don't want to go to the Clarks recycling collection scheme
~ double check through the two bags to go to the charity shop
~ meet up with friend to give her a gift
~ walk the dog
~ get showered and dressed
~ do washing up

I did the bath yesterday

Morning Everyone

I'm not having a good morning...the frost last night has done the Sunflowers in ...they were all lying down in the garden this morning.
I couldn't find the net for the washing tablets this morning either....so just shoved them in anyway....then walked past to see a washing machine full of itty tablet bits, and half a tablet stuck at the bottom of the door

Anyhoo....Hello and welcome to the new faces,
I am off to the toddler group soon so will catch up with you all in a bit xxx

Am back from school now and sitting down having a cuppa.

To add to the list that has been done:

W/M empitied and washing on line, another load just about to finish
Jelley I painted my toenails this morning! Its that time of the year!
Cleaned the bin

To do:

Hoover and mop the floors
Clean the kitchen
Put away the ironing and do some more ironing

That looks like very short list, something isn't right there! I will have a look to see what else needs to be done.

Hi shouldbe. I can truly sympathise as dh and I haven't seen much of each other for the last month or so as he has been so very busy in work. In the last 3 weeks he has been staying elsewhere for 7 nights in all so we've been like ships passing in the night, too. One time a few months ago he was away from a Tues to a Mon, only here for one late evening and overnight and one morning. It is very hard.

Jelley I've taken a few mins to paint my toenails, too!

luda If you're stuck for a washing net bag, give me a shout and I'll pop one in the post for you. I should have spares around here somewhere.

Shall we forgive Jelley's comment, EHM? Oh, we're too soft! Have a lovely day Jelley. Oh, and everyone else, too!

glitterfairy · 19/04/2007 10:03

Jelley it was me who suggested it and I am glad you are continuing as sometimes I think we all do too much for everyone else in this thread.

SO far have:
Prepared lunches
Cycled to school with kids (2 miles and they thought it was fun)
Had breakfast
Caught up with mail
Washed up
Washing on

Hello flamey and EHM and all the new people welcome this is now my fave part of mn.
