Good morning ladies, been away for a while, but it's time for life to get back on track. My list is a bit non-existent right now, but have to start somewhere:

  • Up, showered and dressed me and DC's
  • Take DC's to hairdresser
  • Shop for food
  • Write letter to Doctor
  • Laundry to fold, make ironing pile
  • One more load to run
  • Walk the dog
  • Pick plums (yum!) and apples
  • Check uniform ironed
  • Start to dig up and sack up potatoes

This will take better shape later, your lists always inspire me and remind me of what I am pretending I can ignore, but gives me something to get me started... right, here we go, normal life re-commences NOW.....

Spacehoppa · 06/09/2010 09:18

Hello anonymousbird. I feel I need a list to get something done today...
-UCO to nursery DONE
-laundry loads 1-2-3
-ironing

Morning all

HAppy Birthday Alice

DD2 started nursery school today, she loved it but I was a wreck, she played with the brother of a little boy in ds's class who she already knew, so will wait and see how she goes

so I need some lists to get me going now I have free mornings

anonymousbird · 06/09/2010 13:27

Hello again. Happy birthday Alice. How is your little fella doing?? Checked in briefly a couple of weeks ago and heard your news, but been off line since... hope all going really well.

Plum - sounds like DD settled in nicely.. good luck with that! My DD starts Reception on Wednesday and I am just kind of all jittery and all over the place. She can't wait, actually was disappointed yesterday when she discovered term didn't start today.... She goes into the class DS was in last year, so should mean a fairly easy transition as she knows the teacher, the classroom etc.

Mini, what's up with your eyes? Hope you get sorted. Sorry, you have probably already posted on it, but my scrolling technique is not very good, I end up all over the place and can't find my way back to the bottom. Stupid I know.

List now expanding, as I get my term time head nearly switched on.... however it is in no particular order of urgency or size of task!! I need serious list making and adhering to practice as am about to project manage major renovation, so need to refine my techniques and get good with technology. But I love my lists now, so here goes:

Today/Tomorrow

  • Up, showered and dressed me and DC's DONE
  • Take DC's to hairdresser DONE
  • Shop for food DONE
  • Write letter to Doctor DONE just need to drop it in
  • Laundry to fold, make ironing pile DONE
  • One more load to run IN MACHINE
  • Walk the dog
  • Pick plums (yum!) and apples
  • Check uniform ironed
  • Start to dig up and sack up potatoes
  • Thank you card to write
  • Plant salad

Wednesday onwards

  • GET HOUSE BACK!!!!
  • Loads and loads of housework, cannot possibly itemise
  • Buy son's birthday present and order food for his party on Sunday
  • Back up photos
  • House renovation plan to write and meet builders
  • Find somewhere to live (!)
  • Restart meal planning
  • Chickens and veg check
  • DH's tax return
  • Check pension documents for me and DH
  • Book car in for service

That will do for now....

FreakoidOrganisoid · 06/09/2010 17:00

Aaaaaargh H is hassling me. Someone told him they saw me out and I was obviously having a really good time and now he has decided he wants us to get back together. FFS!
Says he'll change, he wants to live the family life, he has realised I am worth it, he will let me have more babies
Blah blah blah.

I suppose it is a sign of how far I have come in terms of realising my self worth that I don't believe a word of it. Have heard it all so many times before.

The thought of being with him actually makes my skin crawl now. And he obviously hasn't changed anyway or he wouldn't be trying to bully me and guilt me into giving him another chance.

FreakoidOrganisoid · 06/09/2010 17:01

Sorry for another rant from me btw, one day I might stop whinging at you Blush

minimammoth · 06/09/2010 17:11

I am sure we can create a whingers corner here at the Ministry of Doom. Must check with the minister...oh thats you Freaki.Grin
