Stepping and chatting, stepping and chatting!

[CamperWidow]

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

There's and , help yourselves!

I'm around - just off to make lunch

I've just been wandering the boards.

im here cats

just finishing colouring my own reward chart another mad cow

i have drawn a cow in marrigolds and a pinny
ds is impressed though!

for 12 ticks i get extra chocolate
for 15+ i get luxury treat...todays offering is a home pedicure

i have spent over an hour today diging through the bearpit front room
5days of not cleaning/hotspotting is not a pretty sight

somehow ive managed to fill a carrier bag of rubbish,another of plastics(?) and am trying to sort 5 different playmobile sets into whats meant to be together so i can box and put away

we are hoping to try letting the kits in again today

the dcs are loving them very much.previously they have been scared of cats and dogs but his has bought them all along a treat..dd2 was worst and whilst she isnt happy them try sit on her she loves stroking them and playing with them.she has had a little scatch and realised they are vicious savage creatures that are going to try and tear her arm off!it made her more confidant out and about near dogs too

its a big adjustment taking on pets and i would be very sad we had say goodbye to them,although if theya re responsible for ds wheezing it would have to be.their health comes first

camper can we play bingo friday?

Hi Zoo, Are we doing one tick (or sticker) per job (say 15 mins wash up).?

I'm not sure if stickers will work as they might take up too much room on my chart. (I bought a pack of reward charts in the Easter hols, meant for DC but didn't get used )

Just having a before I get started.

YoooHooo! Zoo Are you still here?

If yes what time shall we meet back? 2.00?

yes at 2
im doing ticks
one per job

assume we are starting at 1.15
im aiming to put away last shopping from sunday
get at least 1 box playmobile away

Right, think I will do ticks aswell cause the stickers take up too much room!

Right I'm off to make a start, "See" you at 2.

BT man finally returned nearly two hours later (he had to come, do something, leave and come back 15 minutes later).

I have managed to do a lot more jobs.

Well done! Scout Is your BT all sorted now?

I'm off to the other thread to list my ta da's.

MrScout needs to play with some wires. It was the Open Reach department -- something for the faster broadband.

Hello everyone!

I love the reward chart idea. Genius Cats!

Well done on the Playmobil zoo. Were you on the thread when I broke flylady rules and brought down all our playmobil to sort into separate boxes - each set in each box? It took me literally weeks and we had to live in it while I did it. Now I know why flylady says not to take out more than you can sort in an hour!

I have had fun choosing birthday gifts as ds is at a party tomorrow. He doesn't get invited to that many, partly because of his issues and partly because he is in a composite and easily left out. This makes this one very exciting for him.

He has also been invited to play with a friend this week - someone he has not been to before - so fingers crossed for him. I think the invite came from the mum rather than the dc asking to have him round so I hope the dc is pleased he is there

Scout have you got some luxury bubble bath ready for your soak tonight?

I have kicked @$$ on my to do list today. I can't do any of the take trash ones out until tonight (it would be silly to do it sooner). I have even done a few extras (mostly planning for Seniors).

My house is still in chaos. I think it always will be (unless we move to a bigger space), but I'm trying to at least tame it so it doesn't take over.

I have heat and hot water, so I am happy.

Toddler happily went down for a nap in his big boy bed and has stayed. This morning he was awake but didn't get up for me. Last night I heard him whimper and cry out for Bunny who had fallen out of bed and TS didn't realize he could get out to rescue him. I did go and replace Bunny and change Toddler's nappy but I offered the change, he didn't come to me for it.

carrots and the playmobile..its great stuff but chaos to sort if have a ffew bits out at once

i cant find a blue flip flop and a green plate but other than that its all there

ive realised ive done enough to qualify for both my chocolate and my home pedicure tonight

i feel much happier now the front room is restored to order

the kits are having another go intergrating...so far so good.ones taken up residence on the window sillthe other is sniffing around and hopping up to check his brother hasnt left him intermitently!

it would help if dcs didnt keep trying reach them..i wouldnt be too happy negotiating a new space with new smells etc and 3 dcs squealing and grabbing for them!

whats for dinner everyone?

p.s hurrah for hot water scout

Well done Scout - it feels great when you make good progress.

zoo maybe tomorrow they should come out to play when the dcs are at nursery and school, now that the room has been rescued from the Playmobil?

How is ds today?

My ds is losing his voice but, despite that, seems better.

Toddler's still awake. Happily still in his bed but MrScout just went in to adjust his covers and said he's awake and chattering to him.

I HAVE JUST BEEN TO THE PUB

Ok, so I only had a lemonade, but I was in a PUB!

It has been a while!

I usually have a coke, on the rare times I go any more, carrots. Lucky thing, though, going to the pub!

It felt like such a luxury and so civilised. It has made me
