Stepping and chatting, stepping and chatting!

[CamperWidow]

Thought I'd Shiny a new chat thread for us!

There's and , help yourselves!

Have fun Scout. I got addicted to Super Mario Bros on dd's ds a few years ago and had to wean myself off it as it made me really stressed out

Ds solved the problem by accidentally wiping all my progress when I was nearly at the end.

Ds has now completed it so the challenge has been met and I don't have to do it anymore. Phew!

I am also that DD2 is 1!

I can't remember the last time I had a lie in, but then I do need to be up to feed DD2. As you know, I do often go back to bed when the girls nap!

Good luck with the decorating cats!!

I have put a photo of the memory wire bracelet that I made this morning on my profile now.

Scout it would be even easier still for your seniors to make but you would need round nosed pliers for the ends.

I am really struggling today. Everywhere I look there is chaos. DD keeps throwing tantrums about everything. I don't think doing arty stuff (painting) before you have a tidy house is a good idea.
I have paintbrushes and palettes of paint cluttering up the sides in the kitchen not to mention wet paintings.
Washing up/drying up waiting to be done.
I need to sort the washing-
dry from line (not completely dry) to go on airer.
I have to find all white school stuff and get that in machine and dry before morning.
A toddler that could really do with a bath.
School form to fill in.

I feel so overwhelmed! I don't know where to start!

((((hugs)))) for Cats.

One step at a time.

1. put the washing on as you will probably need that for tomorrow
2. have a and play with dd
3. sort the washing fro the line to the airer
4. have a and play with dd
5. fill in the form for school
6. have a glass of water and play with dd
7. tidy up the painting stuff
8. have a and play with dd
9. do one round of dishes
10. stick dd in the bath

You will manage it Cats. Just prioritise and stay calm.

Right,
Washing is in machine and nearly finished
paintbrushes and palettes washed
had half hour worrying where DS was, turns out he had gone in a friends house and not told us.

Have now stopped for a hot chocolate and rest before I do round 2.

Carrots those are looking really good! Why don't you sell them? I have a friend who sells via facebook. She set up another account and then sells them direct. Or Ebay. Yes, they are that good!

Well done Cats. The hardest bit is making a start.

You are very kind Camper but I don't think they would sell. I would love to get to that standard but I need to practise and work out a few designs first. Babysteps though!

Dd has made one for her friend as a thank you for taking her out for the day yesterday.

carrots how about etsy?

I have been investigating etsy bessie and have had a look on ebay too. The memory wire ones are certainly listed on ebay at quite a range of prices. Personally I prefer them to the beadweaving ones in appearance but we are all different. The beadweaving ones are trickier and therefore somehow more satisfying to make iykwim. Daft isn't it.

Why does it always come down to money? I am enjoying making them but can't justify churning them out if I can't find a purpose for them. To sell them or give them as gifts they have to be good enough and I don't know how you know that iykwim.

I will watch some on ebay and see if they sell as I know how to sell on there already.

On that front, I have loads of auctions finishing tonight and am up to £70 in bids already so far so I am quite excited.

I have also just remembered that I have to bake for a fundraiser tomorrow so I have muffins in the oven - cranberry and white chocolate anyone?

Hmmm! Judging by completed listings on ebay they don't sell. Pants!

White washing hanged out
cat litter tray done
some washing up and drying up done
doing dinner now (waiting for oven to warm)

I know this is the wrong thread for lists but --I don't care today-- the other thread is quiet today.
Think I'm having a down day as I keep bursting into tears.

Hope your muffins turn out nice carrots

Oh yeah! Cats is on fire today! Well done on the list Cats.

Could the tears be exhaustion? Hormonal? Need for a bit of time out/walk/fresh air?

Poor you whatever it is ((((hugs))))

We definitely need a thread party to cheer us all up, we are a right bunch right now!

Hello. A bit of a different sort of day. Not sure how I'm feeling.

Can't wait until the heat and hot water comes back, though!

bessie gorgeous cake

happy birthday littlebessie

Yum scout!

Will do, zoo!

In an effort to not produce much washing up (which is quite a pain to do with no hot water) MrScout has offered to get us pizza for dinner. Yum. I did make Toddler pasta but I can do his pasta dinner in one pot with one bowl & one fork used to eat.

Are there G&Ts at the bar, bessie?

i never need an excuse for pizza

Did someone mention gin?
