anonymousbird · 13/09/2010 09:40

Alice, he is VERY sweet. Ahhhhh.

Just had crazy busy weekend, wonderful fun though. DS's beach party yesterday was fantastic, worked out so well and the sun shone down Smile.

New week, new vigour (that is the plan!).

My big excitement this week is that I am having my teeth whitened for the first time ever. That probably makes me sound really vain, but I am just so not image/fashion worried at all. However, they are doing a great deal at my dentist on it so.... I thought, what the hell! I never spend any money on myself, hair cut is all I ever do, have forgone new clothes for donkeys (though I desperately need some autumn/winter daily shoes).. so it's something FOR ME!

  • Clean other bathroom and loo
  • Special tea for DS (birthday)

Ongoing

  • Deep clean on the housework post superficial clean
  • Dig up and sack up potatoes
  • Pick and store apples for winter
  • Courgette (Marrow!) soup to make and freeze
  • Back up photos
  • Birthday cards for NCT group children (are they really all 6 yo?!? Confused)
  • Find somewhere to live for early November(!)
  • Buy local papers
  • Tidy the study
  • Bin/Charity Shop/Keep exercise on the kids toys
  • Restart meal planning

JKS to make matters when I seen it in my size it was reduced to £68, I read the review and set my heart on it, have googled everywhere, my friend works in debenhams so going to get her to find out if they will have any in etc

Right determined to make full use of nursery time

FreakoidOrganisoid · 13/09/2010 14:23

JKS how many evening dresses do you have??? Are you a celeb?

Really need to sort through dc drawers actually, far too much in them.

JustKeepSwimming · 13/09/2010 14:27

DC clothes I am leaving deliberately (!) til it gets colder so i can put away summery stuff.

Not a celeb sorry to disappoint but i seem to have collected a few Hmm some have long sticky out skirt bits too so they take up loads of space. But only full length wardrobes are the exact ones i took them out of. Oh and plus my wedding dress....Hmm

FreakoidOrganisoid · 13/09/2010 14:40

Yes that was my plan too Grin

Need to get off my arse though, seem to be watching dora with the dc instead of making the most of them being occupied and using the time productively
