I've just surfaced after an hour of work and had a brief coffee break. About to get my head down for another hour of work.
Do you have any plans for this afternoon scout?
I love new storage boxes etc bessie. The problem I have is actually using them once I've got them!!

Scout19075 · 17/04/2012 12:18

We're going to go out and do the errands we didn't do yesterday because of poorly ToddlerScout. Clothes recycling, cans & glass recycling, groceries. I promised TS a drink at the café if he has a good rest and behaves nicely at the store. Then I'll do some stuff around here, get ready for tomorrow's Seniors meeting, write some letters.

Scout19075 · 17/04/2012 12:22

I can't do some of the Seniors stuff until we go to the shop. I might go through another bin while I'm watching television.

Hello all! What do you think of my hair?

Well done on the decluttering bessie. Books are something which works really well on rotation. The fewer available the fewer they can haul out at once as well.

I have bags and bags of outgrown books which I need to sort into storage and sell and donate.

sarahfreck · 17/04/2012 13:14

Carrots - the hair really suits you. An inspired choice of style!
Scout - that sounds loads for 1 afternoon!

liveinazoo · 17/04/2012 13:20

hair cuts are good for the soul

carrotsandcelery · 17/04/2012 13:26

I need to do some ironing. Can anyone recommend a good programme to watch while I do it?

Doing the ironing is the only time I watch tv during the day. I often hunt something down on the on demand features on the computer.

carrotsandcelery · 17/04/2012 13:27

Thanks for the compliments Sarah. You will be the only one who notices. Last time I got loads chopped off (a good few inches) and no one noticed. Hmm

liveinazoo · 17/04/2012 13:36

i like hairy bikers bake ation..its interesting if you like food shows and a bit of a laugh

i need a shot enthusiasm and good cheer today

Scout19075 · 17/04/2012 13:47

Fab do, carrots. Very you.

Some poor old dear keeps calling me by mistake. She sounds very confused.

I'm watching episode three of Big Love. It's not to everyone's taste/liking.

Sky's looking very mysterious at the moment.

CamperWidow · 17/04/2012 13:54

Zoo enthusiasm and good cheers (and prob TMI!) but Lollipop did a No 2 on the potty!!!!!!! I know, but it's a biggie here, she has really struggled to let go (ahem) and we've only really been doing it a week..... Grin

Carrots nice do!!!!

carrots - I like to watch detective dramas while I'm ironing, but maybe you should find a make-over programme to watch now. Something along the lines of "What not to where once you've had the most fab haircut ever!"

sarahfreck · 17/04/2012 13:56

oops wear, not where of course ( and me a teacher!!)

liveinazoo · 17/04/2012 14:44

oh thats brill camper well done lollipop

mine were terrrible at potty training
lil zoo was almost 4 before she would entertain it,hanging on to wees from 7am til late pm when couldnt hold any longer and tiddled a lake!
the week before started nursery i pointed out couldnt wear baby nappies to nursery and she panicked and with lots cuddles and reassurance cracked it straight off

had one night accident

bessie26 · 17/04/2012 14:46

Hey, lookin' good carrots Wink - I would have to watch comedy, coz that's all I ever watch!

I have had a good trip out. Am about to make storage boxes (fx they fit)

Huge congratulations to Lollipop on her poo! Grin - I'm not sure how it came about, but DD1(3.5) SAT on the toilet last night (on her P.Pig seat) - she stated very clearly that she wouldn't be DOING anything, but she did sit on it & was quite excited to discover that she could get on & off it herself using the step. Then we went upstairs & tried out the boring white trainer seat on the loo up there too. After being potty trained since last August, it's about bloddy time! Smile

bessie26 · 17/04/2012 15:03

they fit! yay!! Grin

liveinazoo · 17/04/2012 17:42

Scout19075 · 17/04/2012 17:54

Nope, doesn't work for me zoo. Sad

carrotsandcelery · 17/04/2012 18:47

It doesn't work for me either zoo.

Yay for bessie's storage fitting and for littlebessie sitting on trainer seat.

Yay for lollipop's poo in her potty - that is the hardest part of potty training imo so hopefully you are well on the way Camper.

No one noticed my hair Have seen my dparents, my dcs & several friends.

carrotsandcelery · 17/04/2012 18:50
