Blessed are the ListMakers!!!

Slatterns, you are beckoned!

Come hither from thither but do not dither!!

Hi JKS. there is usually a good reason for turning into shouty, mardy cow ( I love the word mardy). Just be the best mardy cow you can be.
Words - can't imagine heat weekedns on wrong days and new bugs, I would be thrown.

Mini - DH said 'don't worry you're pregnant and that's what pg people do' &

Hi Slatterns,

So sorry for my absence, life got in the way and then I had a nasty dose of tonsilitis!!

Anyhoo, am back.

I have done very little this week and although DH has been a tropper, lots to do.

Tommorrow:

Get up
Shower
get my clothes and babys - iron
breakfast
abs - me and DD1/2 (bloody tonsils!!)
school run and nursery run
Clean and tidy whole house - do list in morning
Text friend
Put clothes away - maybe

That will do for now.

Off to do the school run
back later !

Today I will mainly be : shopping

Have been invited on a girls night out and all my accessories are still in process of being shipped so:

New bag needed

Might see if I can get some bedside lamps (am fed up of having to get out of bed to turn off the main light)

Have a good day !

Morning ladies.

I won't be doing much today as have an outpatients appointment this morning that means I will be out of the house from 9am to 12pm and then I have a physio appointment at 2pm and then the kids will be home. So I will just make sure put a wash load in and fill the dishwasher as a minimum.

Hello all.
Just a quick post to kick start my week, masses to do:

Today

• Up, showered and dressed me and DC?s
• DC?s to school
• general tidy, make beds etc
• Hoover downstairs.
• Mop utility floor
• One wash load

Anon does this mean you have been offered the house?

Well, Imaslattern, I saw two on Friday, the one I really want (the one in our village) is 50/50. It's us versus a couple who want a longer term let, so despite my upping the money, I suspect they may get it.

But saw a second one in the next village which was also more than adequate too, and I have first refusal on that one if Plan A does not come off.... HOPEFULLY. Still handy for school/work/getting back to see the build very regularly. Also, cheaper.

So, I am going to have a stiff coffee, then get on the blower.

And all this with the Ryder Cup still on - don't know which way to turn!

Morning

I feel brand new today.

Must crack on:

YEY Anon

Well I had a lovely weekend very funny, we all had to wear wigs and I was the only person that had never met anyone else so I kept mine on until the very end and said they would all just have to wait until the wedding and I would re-introduce myself, but then my wig fell off, no one could get over blonde long hair after short purple bob with fringe had to be there but it was very funny

Anway I was a good girl yesterday MINI I have a lovely clear desk bunged pigeon holes all ready for lots of paper work this week

and I started work on cake & did ironing

so today

invoicing
clean out hoover done
hoover
wash on line done
wash on
empty dishy
load dishy

JKS - if no damage, I am sure you are ok. Horrid when it happens though.

It was the first one, the one we were convinced we would not get!

They are happy to have the dog. I need to pay a larger deposit, but I completely expected it. Dog is non-smelly and does not wee/scratch/chew etc, so not concerned we will get stung there. Waiting for exact date, but it is mid-ish November, which matches perfectly with our build start. Thank bloody god!

Plum there is something soooo fun about wearing a wig. I had a phase of going out in a black bob wig. I did it the first time for a hen do (funnily enough) and enjoyed it so much that I used to take it with me to lots of places!!! Sounds like you had fun.

JKS I wouldn't worry if no damage was done

anon - how exciting -well done!
