What did you say scout? Hope you haven't been rumbled?!

zoo what is this "date night"? I'm running myself a bath Grin

Scout19075 · 02/03/2012 20:43

I'm here, zoo. Hello!

Scout19075 · 02/03/2012 20:45

zoo, when he asked what I was taking I said "Myself. Maybe Toddler. Why?" That's when I got the "you've been giving stuff away" line. I just said "I gave R some clothes for her baby because she needed clothes and we don't need them."

liveinazoo · 02/03/2012 20:50

scout a suspicious man is a dangerous thing!

MyLifeIsStillChaotic · 02/03/2012 20:51

No thanks liveinazoo, I'm on a diet Blush

Scout19075 · 02/03/2012 20:57

The problem is, zoo, is MrScout's been suspicious since our blow-out the other week. I haven't done anything since then because of being sick. Right now you can't see what I've removed today due to how I've arranged things. [sneaky] But I need space to live!

bessie26 · 02/03/2012 21:38

Do you really IRON your PJs zoo? I only iron my own work shirts! [lazy]

MyLifeIsStillChaotic · 02/03/2012 21:40

I iron pretty much everything. Unless it's been in the tumble dryer, then I can get away with a bit less.

Sink shined :)

Scout19075 · 02/03/2012 22:29

Iron everything?

bessie26 · 02/03/2012 22:32

Sink is shined.

I HATE ironing.

carrotsandcelery · 02/03/2012 23:02

Evening all!

I am feeling much better. I got some better painkillers from the chemist and seem to have come to.

I have been to the theatre with my dmum , dsil and a close family friend and came home to find dh hanging another load of laundry. Shock I had put on a maintenance wash before I left to freshen the machine. I wouldn't recommend possible mild concussion and neck injuries but I do like that he was helping with the laundry Grin

I am now medicating with a vast amount few Maltesers and a decaff Brew before bed. Tomorrow is going to be quite a day but then I will be able to relax again. Yay!

I like Supernanny too. Makes me realise my 2 are actually little angels.

I used to iron everything............... then I had a revelation and stopped ironing stuff that no-one else would ever see. Halved my ironing load over night :o

Have been naughty tonight and drunk too much Wine. Will see you all tomorrow with a hangover.

Night night ,hic.

Oh now nice it was waking up today to a nice kitchen. While there is still lots of dust and the floor needs a hoover and other bits and pieces around it is nice to be able to walk in the kitchen without feeling like crap because I didn't do the basics.
Baby step 2 for me I do anyway as when I get up in the morning I splash water on my face and get dressed and walk the dogs so I am usually dressed and ready for everything from just after 6am Hmm

Iwould post babystep 3 but don't know how to write the link like that Blush
Hope everyone has a good day and maybe I can pop in sometime during the day today :)

Scout19075 · 03/03/2012 07:25

I'm wondering if MrScout has been able to access my MN account. All of a sudden last night he started looking around and getting quite huffy and wouldn't tell me what was going on. But he kept looking around like he was searching for what was missing. I might have to name and/or password change (but have no idea how). Shame -- I'm attached to my name (have had it for 2+ years) and have never done it.

ItsallGreektome · 03/03/2012 07:54

Change the password only. If you go to your account and do it

MyLifeIsStillChaotic · 03/03/2012 09:25

But if he knows your username he will be able to find out what you post even if you just change the password. I leave myself logged in which I probably shouldn't...

CamperWidow · 03/03/2012 09:27

So, I've woken up to a lovely nice and shiny sink and got myself dressed to my shoes. I refuse to dress the toddler until she has had breakfast, but I am trying to include her this as much as possible so she gets into the whole keeping things clean routine.

BlackCatTryingToFly · 03/03/2012 09:39
