Thankyou Jas. Never seem to get beyond my morning routine(and can't do a thing when I work, 2 days a week).
Also have to nip this MN habit in the bud!

Things at home are grim Jas I've had enough and am grumpy with the kids and can't bring myself to make an effort with dh
Thanks for asking though

I've been busily side-tracking any FLYing in favour of making dds costume - it's been fun to be creative again Someone on the Arts and Crafts threads has given me loads of great ideas and so I'm feeling inspired. Pictures of the progress so far are on my profile (OK, so I've only made a tutu, but it's a start )

~more laundry in wm
~s&s kitchen
~do mission
~general tidy downstairs doing steadily
~do some work on dds costume on-going
~do some jobs in the garden
~s&s bathroom and cloakroom

I'm going to do the kitchen next.

shouldbe · 11/09/2007 11:26

Oh, well, thought I'd do the kitchen but it's almost 11.30 and I need to leave to collect ds in a minute - I'll s&s the cloakroom instead...

Hope Jesus gave a better policy to Lazarus.(no offence intended, sorry if you have been) Legs stopped working in the next town and the 6th emergency service collected me from the library (DH and BIL in the Chrysler crusier again ) MIL will look for what I'm after in the local town (eerrh, result!)

Got Ed some lovely clothes from town (next and TU labels) so it was worth popping in, honest. And he renewed his library books while I waited for collection (hey, I sound like a wheely bin!) 'Excusce me please nice lady I need what is on the card longer Thank you' awh bless
So done

Collect Ed
Got to next town
Go bargain hunting
Break down
Call the 5th eergency service
Got to library
Get collected
Home

To Do

Make lunch for 2
Tidy round
S&S stuff
take it steady
Write to hasbro re missing game parts and instructions
Sit down

I am only collecting him tomorrow...nothing else. A basket of toys and games and I'll do my upmost to entertain him

Hello ladies

Well I'm back from my check up...all looks Tickedy Boo! (thankfully)

I've mowed the lawn, the kids bouncy castle has arrived, dh has taken it away to put it up at work to make sure it all works ok... (rather than waiting until the morning...only to dissapoint 3 small excited children!)

I've got numerous pressies to wrap...but will wait until they are all asleep.

I'm looking forward to a nice quiet day tomorrow....you see, we live in a very open estate, with 3 families in close proximatey...all with small children. It is impossible to do ANYTHING without having small visitors. So any Bar-b-que, get together, party etc.etc. is very awkward...if you ban them from the garden, they all hang about on the fence or gate and end up sneaking in anyway. I just thought it would be a bit unfair to make DD1 wait until she finishes school...only to have the kids over the road want to play on it (I'm not very good at banning them...) plus the little girl 2 doors down...and the other 2 kids round the corner!!! I ALWAYS have a garden full, so thought the kids could have the day off to play on it just themselves....

It will hopefully go to plan!!!
