MarthaSlatternStewart · 05/08/2010 13:49

See you have done loads anonbird

You too Wasting

My second cake is baking and I'm going to make a quick late lunch then work on laundry while cakes cool

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 05/08/2010 15:28

Right I have been crap today. I think DS has got an upset tummy, there have been several epic poo nappies today, not fun with a queasy stomach!

Must get sorted out though, DH isn't home until late because he's picking up his car so I will have to do the cooking

anonymousbird · 05/08/2010 15:33

Oh, Martha, it does feel good. My new short list of simply TO DO essentials to get the family on holiday are:

Today

  • Take DC out for tea (now)
  • Fold last of drying laundry
  • Finalise Tesco Order this evening
  • Pack my things, get DH to pack tonight, not in the morning (easier said that done). Kids are packed.
  • Gardening tonight - one hour, whilst DH mows the lawn
  • Have supper, load DW and run

Tomorrow morning:

  • Empty DW
  • Breakfast, shower and dress
  • Empty Fridges, pack what's left plus the veg picked today
  • Clean Loos
  • Mop Floors (finally relegated to"just before we go")
  • Leave at 10am.

On Way

Take rubbish to dump
Drop off library book
Post Office

Anything else, it's too late.

anonymousbird · 05/08/2010 15:38

Hmm, having re-read my list, I have realised this evening (ie. 7 til 10) is rather overloaded... There are about 6 hours worth of work to do in 2.5...

It's going to be a late night - can't cancel tea as it's at a friend's and been in the diary for ages!!! And someone I really want to see!

Oh well.

FreakoidOrganisoid · 05/08/2010 15:47

Aaaarggh my foot has gone to sleep!

Got the dc room sorted yesterday, haven't put everything back in because I'm only going to have to take it all out again when the bed/desk arrive.

DC chose a couple of toys to keep at daddys house then today he rang and was whinging about his house being too small and not being able to fit stuff in blah blah blah. AS I said before 1 person in 2 bed house vs 3 people in 2 bed house Oh and lets not forget that a couple ofmonths ago I "wiped him out" and took everything leaving him with no stuff so not sure why suddenly he has too much to fit in the house Anyway they are still taking it, he will have to find room (maybe under beds or in wardrobe?)

Yes new undies
Partly out of neccessity for my new bigger boobs and got pretty ones because althoughI can squeeze into my dress for the wedding it doesn't look as amazing as I would like so the undies and sparkley bracelet (only cheapies from matalan!)will help me feel nicer. And maybe I'll get lucky

DONE
All up etc
washing up
sides ad table
load of washing on
load of washing out
hoover downstairs
mop dowstairs
clean loo
clean bathroom
make philly brownies
friends here

MarthaSlatternStewart · 05/08/2010 17:25

Anon where are you off to?

I have spied a holiday but can't book until next week and am panicing incase it won't be there then[eek]

dh says we are going if we pack the car and drive over to England, that made me panic as I have loads of Tesco vouchers but I wouldn't have time to cash them in for theme parks etc and I wouldn't feel organised enough

Cakes are cooled and in sealed container until after dinner when I shall ice

I'm defrosting chicken for some sort of Plumbum chicken special which will include peppers, onions, mushrooms either creamy/tomatoe sauce
potatoes I just dug or rice

MarthaSlatternStewart · 05/08/2010 17:26

freak Hope you enjoy the wedding!

FreakoidOrganisoid · 05/08/2010 17:38

JKS mostly just being an idiot. He has never had to think about where things will go iyswim. One of the things he was complaining about was that he doesn't have a conservatory so where will he keep the pegs . Laughable really. Also he knows moaning about not having enough space for the dc stuff will make me worry about leaving them and he is probably hoping I will be too worried to enjoy the wedding.

minimammoth · 05/08/2010 17:46

Feeling fed up today, Have had an itchy tight skin thing around my eyes. Looked through the morror this am. and look a hundred. Took an extra dose of anti hystamine as I think it may be allergy related ( too much talking to the tomato). But now feel weary.

Things to avoid
filing
office of doom

try to get around to doing
DH's admin VAT etc
garden
data base
sort drawers
other stuff that I can't be bothered to list or do even. {hmm}
prep for training day
print stuff didabit
buy spare cartridge
book train to sheff done

Alicetheinvisible · 05/08/2010 17:46

Freak enjoy the wedding - you will look fab!

Anon have a great holiday

Done bugger all today really, made some cakes this morning, went to a picnic in the park, packaged up dvd's (been on list all week) and that is that. Still waiting for DH to finish work. Have paid someone to do horses today so that we can spend that time moving furniture etc around (after the work being done)

List for DH
Move stereo unit back into dining room
Clean out fireplace - properly!
Move some books up to top shelf (about 8/9ft up!)

My list
Cook dinner
Wipe down kitchen
Washing on and dry
Move small bits around and generally supervise

DD's list
Be good for mummy and daddy
Not get every toy out
Eat up our dinner

FreakoidOrganisoid · 05/08/2010 17:53

I'm feeling a bit insecure about the outfit because I don't really know if it is weddingy enough. Will charge up camera and put pics on so you can advise me (please be nice)

Alicetheinvisible · 05/08/2010 17:56

Ooh please!!

minimammoth · 05/08/2010 17:58

Sorry am being very unsociable. Waves. Enjoy the wedding Freaki, are the DC going with you?
Am impressed by all the lists today. JKS - theatre sounds good, what are you seeing?

Its Big Chill weekend here, so cannot get parked in town, everywhere heaving. Moan moan moan.
one moth and one cocoon found downstairs, upstairs have kept window shut, which has helped.
