Getting nothing done? Procrastinators, pottering here.

Welcome to the new thread ladies :)

Freak - initials AW? Veeery nice

That's the one. I really fancy him not sure it's going anywhere though as was meant to see him this weekend when I didn't have the dc but he asked if we could postpone. So not sure if it was a total brush off or not. Time will tell.

Feel really woozy today, was planning to get loads done but so far have only dealt with the cat tray and pulled up a few dandelions from front garden. Totally not with it!

Everyone ready for school tomorrow? :)

I will be back listing with a vengeance....

Got up this morning and was ready for school without any rushing or nagging, bet that doesn't last til tomorrow!

Did quite a bit first thing but have now slowed...window cleaner was meant to be coming at 9.30 but hasn't showed. it was raining earlier to be fair but is dry now so a text to let me know one way or the other would be nice (I have to be in when he comes as the only access to the back is through the house). Kitchen floor needs mopping badly but don't want to do it then have him come as will have to redo it after!

Feels weird not having dc around.

Well done Freak :)
Was ok here today too, everyone ready before they needed to be that won't last.
Bit concerned about timings, DS2's bus is out of my control and can come at a time in the morning that will make me late with DS1, nothing I can do about it really. DS1 is only Y1 so not major if he's late, i just hate being late, get really stressed.

Morning ladies! Feels like autumn here today - a distinct chill in the air!

We made it out of the house in time for music group at 9.20 this morning, and then I braved a haircut for DS1 in town. We had to wait for 40 minutes, and he was so good bless him.
This afternoon we are going shoe shopping!

Well it's all off with mr hot
Sent me a message this morning saying he was really busy at the moment and felt bad because he felt like he was just using me where he could only pop round every now and then. Said that wasn't what he had wanted but he had realised he wasn't really in a position to be starting a relationship right now.

I'm ok with it I think, had suspected that might be the case and am just pleased he was honest and didn't mess me around or keep me hanging on.

Now just need to crush the wail of "what's wrong with MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!" that keeps threatening to surface

Awww Freak, I am devestated for you!

DD1 hates secondary school , crying and headaches. Taking her to the doc this afternoon. My heart is broke, really want to keep her at home but sensible me knows that she needs to go to school. Its nearly a replica of DS when he started. AAARRRGGGHHH

CC must be so hard Does she have any of her friends in her class? Secondary school was a really horrible time in my life so I feel for your dd

Being dumped is obviously good for me (this time)

Register with dentist - DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make apts with dentist - DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Book smear - DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have also registered kittens with vet and booked their jabs etc AND booked ds' preschool jabs.

Now all I need is to magically learn to drive (without cost or humiliation) and get a lovely enjoyable term time school hours only job and life will be sorted

where is everyone????

I am here! Drowning under tiredness and a teething baby.

:( about being dumped, but at least he has been straight with you.

Where is Wasting? Baby must be due any time?

I am here, just being v rubbish with lists & jobs!

JKS , such a thing to pass your lips . Have to admit its the 1st thing that made me smile in a few days.
Took DD1 to the GP yest, was only there the day before with DD3 (she was constipated for over a week). Nothing physical wrong with her, so its definately the change to secondary school. Feel like banging my head against a brick wall cause its just like DS all over again! Had to be the hard parent this morning, goes against everything I normally do. Told her to stop crying this morning that people would be looking at her, and that I was to get no phone calls from the school, unless she had collapsed

Right I must list this week. We've had a brilliant weekend away, but we're away again next weekend and unless I get organised then we are going to be in chaos.

CC - I hope your DD is ok :(

Hey everybody! Haven't read all the way through, but wanted to make sure I'd got you on Threads I'm On before I forget where my head is.

xx

CC - how's DD now? :( for her not settling well in school.

Wasting - how many weeks are you now?

Not only did I book the dentist, I actually went!!! DH cocked up somehow though and booked me in with the private dentist so it cost £60 to have my teeth counted and a couple of xrays. She was fab though and very careful/gently with me so I said i will stick with her just not go very often. I must book in for a clean sometime soon then one tooth is slightly chipped and needs something doing to it but she said i could take my time on both of those until i feel up to it.

Right, i must get back into the habit of listing as stuff is just not getting done. As evidenced by the absence of any clean school shirts for tomorrow...

Wasting - would you like a black Kari Me sling? I used it when DS2 was little, but he is just so massive now that I really can't manage him in it and we use the Baby Bjorn. It's yours for postage if you want it :)

DD1 wouldnt go this morning, absolutely hysterical! Went to the school to see could I talk to someone from the school completion programme, noone there so ended up breaking down in front of the principal , One of the girls from the school completion came over at 11.30am and talked to dd1, so they agreed between them that DD1 would go in for the last 2 classes (art), she will go in later tomorrow and can leave at lunch time if she so wishes. Just going to build her up gradually til she feels fit for the full day!

Sorry for the long post! Have nothing done today!!!!

DS2 has decided to start eating. He's 24 weeks today - where has that gone!! He grabbed my toast at lunchtime, and then howled when I tried to stop him eating potato wedges at dinner time. Considering he only has half a tooth he made short work of them!
