Hello everyone!

Ali, Grin lovely scan news.

Alice, sounds like F is doing amazing. Smile

Anon, Sad so sorry about your neighbour.

Mini, if you're a size 18 or less, I'd go for the jeggings regardless. Grin

I've got tooo many projects on the go, and get tooo bogged down thinking about housework, that I don't usually get done anyway. Grin

I think I'm going to go with just listing the basics here for a bit, and see how that goes. Grin

See you bright and early!

anonymousbird · 18/09/2010 17:41

Hello ladies, no list today!! Just dropping in to say hi.

Am a bit sad that I can't go to my neighbour's funeral. The only day this week I have an absolutely unmovable commitment is Friday pm. Guess when the funeral is? Friday pm. Any other day I could have moved things around to be there. Sad.

Anyway, I will simply have to "send" my respects and a donation to the collection (they do have collections at funeral don't they?) via my friend who is going.

Hope JKS is ok, gorgeous day today (though depends where you are I suppose!) and stropi am loving your lists, uber organised lists and plum what a bummer on the dress. That is absolutely typical! Grrrrr. How long til the wedding??

Hello! Any titles yet? Or am i going to have to make up something? You have been warned!

anonymousbird · 19/09/2010 10:45

Morning all! 995!!!!! Gulp. Alice over to you.. I'm new at this!

Ugh, tired today. DH has taken DS out to rugby, the PIL's (staying last night and tonight) have gone off to run some errands and check on their new house so it's just me and DD for a couple of hours....

When the PIL's stay, we ALWAYS stay up far too late. Last night, it was nearly 1am and me, MIL and DH were mucking around on ITunes (just figured out how to buy tunes!!!) for hours. It's as addictive as MN!! Ah well. Can't happen tonight, as it is a school night Hmm.

So today's list is a bit thin on the ground but here's a few things:

  • Washing out and up to dry
  • Unload DW
  • Finish digging up the spuds with DH
  • Ironing
  • Sort out playroom
  • Walk dog
  • Clear crap off the kitchen table so we can actually eat a family meal on it
  • Roast Dinner at 6pm (yey!)
stofstg · 19/09/2010 11:22

i need to:

  • help dh make lunch/tidy up afters,
  • hoover downstairs,
  • clean toilets and bathroom,
  • pay some bills on the internet,
  • help dh make tea/tidy up afters,
  • bath dd.

I will be back later.
