Jas thanks for the thread. Good luck at teh dentist, nothing serious I hope. List looks good.
To do:
W/M, maybe if I can find enough lights or darks for one wash. Has anyone tried the colour catcher sheets that say you can put on a mix wash, I'm too scared of ruining our scarce clothes supply to try them.
Toddler gym/ bouncy castle, tired ds hopefully
Finish cleaning the hob - just remembered I put Mister Muscle on it last night and haven't wiped off yet oops
Meeting with Dd's teacher this afternoon 4:10, hope dp finishes work on time.
Clean the kitchen and bathroom floor - will have to use the mop as still can't kneel down to give it a proper scrub with the floor sponge

Caught up with some old friends from 6th form college yesterday on FB which I'm so plesed about so need to type lots of e-mails - a very scary photo of me from the old days on my FB page, best 2 years of my life made me feel really happy catching up with everyone.
Hope everyone has a good day

x-post morning littleboyblue looks like you have a busy day from that full list!

[littleboyblue]

Morning Shannara Whether or not I get it all done is another matter
I do need to change the beds though, will have to go and kick dp out of it!

I never seperate lights and darks, everything here gets chucked in together. I don't use those colour catcher sheets either and I've not had any issues.
Goodluck with dd's teacher

Busy day today

[littleboyblue]

Mad Exactly the same here re dp and routines. He just gets in the way, it seems everywhere I go, he is there!!! He sometimes tries to help which makes it worse, only because he doesn't know where anything is kept so it's a tirade of questions, especially when he attempts to unpack the shopping. Can you belive he doesn't know where I keep the medicines? Or that I keep the childrens seperate from the general stuff? I'll tell you where they are.......on top of my kitchen cupboard are 2 old ice cream tubs, one says 'childrens meds' the other says 'general meds' in big black marker pen

Just finished morning routine. Ds2 is napping and ds1 watching cbeebies in him pj's. I am just trying to gear myself up again now. He has chocolate from his coco pops all over his face and legs and strawberry left overs in his hair, not sure i can face the clean up just yet! lol

[swanriver]

morning all

sorry for couple of days absence...have been busy here, and not doing much flying...but hoping to catch up today

Thanks for all kind messages re DH and FIL. DH is in a bit better mood....reallife has sort of taken over and kept him busy which may be a good thing.Still it is always there hanging over us atm....nurses have said it will be 2-3 weeks they think....so just bracing ourselves for the phonecall.....

Anyway am feeling more positive and motivated today ( not sure whay as had a disaterous nights sleep due to porrly DC....))

jas good luck at dentist

Prof Chin up my wonderful friend. Maybe DH is going through a mid life crisis. Money is always an issue in this house too. But what is worse is that if DH is unhappy so am I. Sorry about the bike - Bads galen Pant about the sick littles - hope you manage to get the baking sone - feed that soul as well as those tummys

LBB It is just that I have a diferent routine during the week to the weekend and DH knows that MEN

Shanna Sorry knee still isnt sorted

Jas Grass is far too wet here to mow

Well..................... I cried on the way home from school. I can not believe that DS1 will be starting Reception in Settember. It just seems far too fast. I know he is ready, but I am not sure I am

His new teacher seems lovley - comes from a very well thought of school in a very challenging area and she seems to understand DS1's challenges - he is spending the morning with her tomorrow, so we will see if he likes her as much as we did. DH thought her ideas were great and she did seem to understand boys well. I am guessing the transition will be harder for me than him

I am just having a cup of tea before cracking on with my list before collecting him in 50 mins.

[MaggieTulliver]

prof - sorry you're going through it. summer hols not far away so hold on to that thought.

mad - it is a wrench when they start school but then you realise they are clever little individuals and he will love it.

[swanriver]

I felt like that TMH with ds1 and then with dts too, worse.
Tbh just feel relief whenever they are at home for some reason. (Unfortunately as day progresses and hols, often begin to remember why I choose to send them to school)
It really is just an extension of pre-school at first, it is only when they get to the end of the year that I think it starts feeling more like SCHOOL.
After all, he has only just stopped being three so it is not surprising it feels like an enormous leap.

Feel a bit more motivated after admitting defeat

So, suspected swine flu at dds school. How long until dds get it?

[littleboyblue]

Oh maggie
It's easily treated though and all have recovered quickly unless they have other medical issues. Hopefully dd's will be ok. x

[SimplyIsATalentedBuzzard]

Hello to all and esp to anyone having a tough day or time for whatever reason.
Thanks for the thread Jas.

Done:-
~ work this morning
~ rec'd two parcels

To do:-
~ washing up
~ put ironing away
~ put the paperwork that's out away

This talk of baking is going to encourage me to make a few cakes, I think! Another 'to do'.

[Jas]

Swine flu at ds' nursery and the infant school attached to dds school this week, too. Mine are pretty healthy so I'm hoping that if/when they get it they won't be too bad.

15 min chunks is the best thing I learned from FLYing. When everything else isn't coming together, I can usually manage something if I just get stuck in for 15 mins.

My kitchen is clean......because ds got hold of a can of wd40, and sat on the worktop spraying it everywhere this afternoon so I was forced to do it all.

Dentist was ok. I got a lecture about cleaning better, but no fillings, and the wisdom tooth which has been causing problems has settled down so can stay for now.
