Morning all this is as close as I am going to get to flying today.

Finished work at midnight went in and did my shopping (I work in a supermarket) Got home and put everything away to find that time had done a fast forward and that it was 2am. So dragged myself of to bed.

DS is teething and decided that 4.30am is the perfect time to start yelling. Have finally got him settled. Thank goodnes for milk, calpol and Sky TV Tiny pop is on from 13.0am so I can usually find something to distract him with. Just means I have to canmp out on the sofa till it's time to get up.

Need to try and get my head down now as I am back at work at 11.

Happy flying everyone see you Monday as I intend on catching up on lost sleep on Sunday.

lol tripod i like your list - it reads like 'bridget jones diary'

baking a cake? myself? - i am great at cooking but baking always goes wrong

surprisingly i have been rather busy
after that bad start we did take the kids out to a playground with pond and ended up feeding the ducks in pouring rain
but both kids loved it and it was rather funny!

once home i managed to

  • dishwasher/dryer/washing machine
  • all toys are put away
  • washed downstairs floors (still needs a few more times it was just dreadfull - but i finally bought the right exchange thingy for my floor washing thingy!!)
  • tidyed shoehole (and threw lots in the bin - was tempted to keep them because they were still good, but no! i was brave and did what i had to do!!!)

evening flybabes
Sorry tortoise (tit),Don't all go changing your names on me i'm just getting to know them all i'm bad enough with names never mind without a face to put to them!
Thanks Tribpot but dds alot luckier than alot of the kids we met in hospital,at least we are home now.I had a friend i used to work with came in with her little boy(aged 4) with a suspected ear infection 2 weeks later he had passed away it was a very rare aggressive brain tumour.Shocked me to the core and made me so much more aware of how lucky we've been as we nearly lost dd many times in ICU.

Didn't mean to bring everyone down there just want you to know i'm not a poor me my childs so ill type .The glass is always half full not empty IYKWIM.

Nevermind about the roasties hazelnuts same thing with my tea dd2 normaly very fussy wanted loads and seconds. DP said save me some more for later so i've just done some rice to bulk out my ickle bitty scrap cue sad music.

Luckily our Sikh neighbours have just been round with a massive bowl of curry and stuff. They had a massive party last night to celebrate an engagement.We stored loads of their furniture so they could get more people in (60).So curry was a thankyou present and i must have telepathic powers just making rice and all.
Feeling at all those of you with kidos asleep mine as usual still wide awake.Hope you all have a good evening though and enjoy the peace

TortUREoiseChamber · 01/10/2006 20:02

Just finished cleaning up half a cup of ribena from a cream carpet. The bissell i bought last week has just paid for itself as carpet was about £800....soooo stressed.

Love Bucket and tortoise new names. Baretoad is perfect for Jas.

sorry if i've missed a bit.
