Hi all, I am on the poorly side today. Yummy feels yuk and I have not got any go in me
Its raining cats and dogs and anything else that wants to fall out of the sky. DS1 is now ok and has gone to school, they get the bus home today for the first time.
I am only going to do what I have to do today, I really could just curl up on the sofa and go to sleep.
Hope the others who are not feeling great, feel better soon. and those who are feeling ok, can you please help us who are not.

Wishing tortoise all the best for this afternoon.

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 11/10/2006 12:37

All the best for 3pm tortoise.

I havent done anything else yet - other than go out in the pishing rain/thunder/lightening for milk and bits.

Got back - soaked right thorugh - stripped off at the front door! Now all dry and cosy in my slouchy trousers until 4ish when DH will want me to go and pick him up!

Girls are just finishing lunch, will hopefully get them both down for a sleep - or Jess at least - she is refusing daytime naps at the moment but isnt getting enough sleep at night to make up for it!

Will try and fly this afternoon!

BloodRedRubyRioja confused did you wear the cooker rings for a party ?

batinshoes sounds quite impressive when you list it all out.

tessasmum at least you could let them in, even getting my meter read was a truamatic experience, let alone a tradesmen. I think I need to get our boiler serviced and at least I won't have to worry about tidying up before they arrive.

Skribble · 11/10/2006 12:54

MIL is coming to pick me up later (stupid car), wow no mad rush before she arrives, piles on stairs and 2 boxes of stock in living room. Everything else fairly tidy and the stock will be out the road by the time she comes and I will have taken my stuff off the stairs.

TortUREoiseChamber · 11/10/2006 13:04

Afternoon FLYbabes!
Just popping in to say hi before solicitor comes!
We have been to toddler group this morning.Got wet both ways.
Will be out in the rain again at 2 when i have to take DD's to a childminder so i can talk in peace.
Then I will have to go out again to pick them up after solicitor has been.
Done a quick tidy round.
Hope poorly people feel better soon.
Glad your ds1 is ok HN.Bit ed he went to school today after last night!

good luck tortoise! {hug}

Fairly productive morning for me,
1 1/2 spent listing stock on Ebay,
3/4 hour watching daft programme I like ( eat my breakfast and check e.mails(MN) at the same time to make best use of time),
In between I have put on 2 loads,
1 dried and put away (well on the stairs),
cleared up recycle corner found yet another use for Tickled Pink bags, one for paper and 1 for plastic, take up less room than the big flat box I had the paper in.
Washed kids hand decorated breakfast dishes by hand, (whos idea was it to make them [angry ),
Quick sweep around downstairs,
Sinks clean and loo swished,
table wiped,
and pile of boxes I want to keep for posting stuff in hut instead of work tops.

So just had lunch and now having a cuppa and biccies, ah sigh of relief.

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 11/10/2006 13:17

Skribble · 11/10/2006 13:32

Ok I have about an hour to list more stuff, it takes ages uploading pics and writing descriptions. So bye, kick me off if I am back before 2.30 .

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 11/10/2006 13:33

Poor you having to get getting wet tortoise.

I was a bit worried about sending him to school. He wanted to go ( I dont know if that was because they are coming home on the bus tonight) I told his teacher and she said she would phone me if he was not well. The tum bug seems to be a less then 24 hr thing.

Hope later goes ok for you.

QueenQuootieSpookypieBee · 11/10/2006 14:05

Hello. Not FLYed today. A man was supposed to come and give a quote for a new front door (anyone know a rough figure inc. fitting?) but he went to the wrong house . Went and bought a camcorder and a digi cam so when they are charged I will show you my looooooooovely bathroom! DH pulled a sicky so we can buy a sofa and other bits and bobs for the house might try and decorate the bathroom today. Peach or mint green I think.... probably peach as its warmer.

Tort, havent read through the thread properly, but, hope all goes well. xxx

batinshoes · 11/10/2006 14:51

DD went for her nap at 13.00. She is still sleeping.

Since then I have made and eaten my lunch, watched neighbours, opened & filed day's post, wrapped a parcel for return to sender and sat on my a**e on the computer.

Feeling a bit like I cant be bothered as pretty much all my kitchen tasks are done and I cant face the rest of the house. can I have the rest of the week off?

Chloe55stakesinavampiresheart · 11/10/2006 15:26

Oh no, I have not done any FLYing for ages and my house shows I have been full of cold and felt crappy so it has been strenuous just looking after ds. I seem to have lost all motivation - please help me get back on track!

TortUREoiseChamber · 11/10/2006 16:12

Solicitor has gone.
I think it went ok. Basically I have 3 options. A.Residency to me
B.Shared residency order.
C.Contact(residency to xp1).
Obviously we are trying for A but B would be a bareable(sp) alternative.
Just have to wait and see what happens in court.

Girls are still at CM's.Guess I should pick them up now Although I did tell her it would be about 5pm!!

jasnDISMemBERED · 11/10/2006 16:28

Tortiose,
that doesn't sound too bad. I hope you get a good outcome.

Are you enjoying a few minutes of quiet?

I've sorted my coat rack and airing cupboard today, but now the floors are all a mess...

TortUREoiseChamber · 11/10/2006 17:06

Picked up girls at 4.30! They had a good time.
It was a lovely few minutes of quiet!
Now back to noise and rushing around doing bath,tea and bed!
