I'm managing to do some routine this morning...I have to say though we have been mostly occupied by the castle. DD1 is a very happy 6 year old this morning

I've put some photo's on my profile if anyone wants to see

Hello, remeber me?



We are all better now from our devastating D&V.

Have not done anything from routines etc for a while, Jeez on Friday I couldn't walk back to bed from the ensuite!

Am hoping that I will be able to 'jump in where I am' and get back to it.

23. Get DH to take out big black rubbish bag. Would do it myself but am scared of the giant Bin Spider. (This may sound loopy, especially in the context of yesterday's post about a conversation I had with my mother .)

Hi Alycat .
Hope you and your DS are feeling better now. Sounds like you've had an awful time.

Report
Jas · 12/09/2007 14:37

Hi alycat glad you are feeling a bit better.

Bigbeer I had to hunt for mention of checking girls
I do, but I am old, my dads sisters hav all had breast cancer, as has my best friends mum, so I get reminded more. I still don't do it every month though I will this month now.

I haven't done a grat deal today beyond my morning routine, but have done the mission, and my kitchen is looking ok.

I've fallen off wagon......

I don't have a clue where I am at...

My house is in CHAOS...

DTD(s) have headlice which will add another 90mins to my post school rush tomorrow on top of swimming lessons

Anyone want to come and shine a sink, clear some worktops or maybe even Nitty Gritty 2 children? You would be most welcome...I might even bake yo a LDC if I can find my cooker...

But I do have another piccie to tempt you all with tomorrow

Back as soon as I have had my takeaway...

You'll be fine, SMS
Shine your sink tonight, and then start again tomorrow.

Maybe FGS will give us a nice reminder of the morning routine in the morning, or I will if I am in the mood.

It is my birthday tomorrow, dp has forgotten, and my parents are in Australia, so I'm likely to be sulking tomorrow

Yuk@ nitty girls. Do they have long hair?

Hi Guys,

I've slipped slightly as DH is ill, and I've been busy sorting out sky tv. Dinner hasnt been cleared and washing is still in machine from this morning.

Plant to shine sink, but leave the washing up and start over in the morning.

Keep at it guys. One tiny slip doesnt mean you're failing - cue cheesy

Tomorrow, must tackle DD1s room before I lose her in it.

Night!
