Evening all

I got my new TUMBLEDRIER TODAY YEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So suppose I better get off computer and sort some washing
dd2 has her first friend coming to play tomorrow after school ........... A BOY, (its actually ds's friends little brother) but they have really hit it off, even nursery commented on their blossoming romance friendshipGrin

Anyway
we had another sinful roast today, I got half a leg of lamb yesterday reduced to £3 in Tesco so what the heck if it isn't Sunday!!

Right
dcs to bed
finish loading dishy
clean surfaces
hang up washing
load tumble drier
Ironing??

anonymousbird · 15/09/2010 20:47

Plum, a roast is never ever sinful. I will not hear such talk! Tsk tsk.!!! Wink

Ah, sod it, well, not particularly productive, got horribly sidetracked with totally trivial and unimportant stuff. Kids are playing up, not going to sleep, forgot to feed DDog (sorry DDog) and DH is not here and I REALLY fancy a glass of wine Blush. I'm not doing the school run tomorrow which means at 8.15 I can CRACK ON. List will be brought back to life, hopefully.

Good night all. I ate with the children, DH being away and all, so off to bed with my book (after I've emptied the WM and sorted tomorrow's clothes....)

FreakoidOrganisoid · 15/09/2010 21:33

Just typed long message and lost it, sob Sad

Gist of it was have been busy today Grin

PlumBumMum · 15/09/2010 23:59

anon it is sinful, as my dh has rules about what we eat and when we eat it, like no meat & potatoes 2 nights in a row,and definitely not on a friday night,
FIL complained to MIL "what kind of house are they running?" because he called up and we were eating stew on a Saturday nightGrin
but to the same extent we always have sunday dinner on a MondayHmm

Oh I'm up too late but dh is outside working and although he told me to go on to bed I always feel bad

anonymousbird · 16/09/2010 08:52

We are at 941 ladies, gosh, what a busy busy lot.

OK, I'm back on track, computer appears to be working and I have until 1pm to sort our lives out because then I am off to have my teeth whitened. Yey yey yey. The day has finally come. You won't recognise me in a few days I'll be Grin Grin Grin at all of you, and blinding you with the dazzle.

Boy it's chilly, no? Had to dash to the school shop yesterday and buy fleeces for the DC's. Bought them HUGE, as they have to last!

No coffee for a while though (apols in advance, ladies, I will be a NIGHTMARE on no coffee). Dentist said best to avoid whilst the whitening is actually happening - ie. next 10 days. Grrr. This could be tough.

No red wine either for a while, but NOTHING wrong with white Grin. Mind you, it is so damned wintery, I might possibly have fancied a glass of red wine with my roast dinner this Sunday! Hey ho!

Right, onwards and upwards.

Alicetheinvisible · 16/09/2010 12:15

Hello everyone :) Been down at my parents yesterday and today because it was my Dad's birthday. Lovely to have dinner cooked and not have to do any jobs/clearing up etc. And they put DS to bed and did stories so DH and I just flopped Grin

Home now, and went to Monkey Music earlier so DS is worn out. Must get him down for a nap in a bit and maybe have one myself, I'm so tired - I think from driving.
I cleaned and tidied the house yesterday morning before I left, so came home to lovely tidy sparkly house. Need to unpack so that I can repack tomorrow for us to go to my brother's for the weekend. (nice brother)

TO DO
Take dinner out of the freezer
Unpack
A load of laundry
DS nap and maybe me nap
Dinner
Clearing up
More washing?
DS bath and bed
DH and I relax and early night
