Phew - house looks ace, bathroom FLYed, mission accomplished, baby fed and happy, dinner in the oven - I don't know how you people with more than one kiddlywink manage it though! Now for a quick whip around with a handy baby wipe and I will sit back and bask in the glory of my tidy house! (Once I have ensured the door to the spare room is shut

batinshoes · 18/10/2006 18:01

ok, done a quick clean of the bathroom and en suite. also picked everything up off the living room and hall floors, and made sure kitchen is presentable.

friend coming to feed the cat for the next few days wont be afraid to come in.

Hi everyone and hello and welcome to the new FLYbabies
We have had an ok (ish) day in the nutty house.
We came down to a horriable smelling lounge. We spent the time getting ready for school in the kitchen. Once the DSs went off to school, DD and me went to Bath to get the bits for nextdoor and some smelly thingys. I got 2 OUST plugins. Quote from Ruby "try leaving little pots of Sodum Bicarb around." Thanks for the tip Ruby, I will put some around Its smelling loads better with the air freshener things.
I cleaned the carpet again, and I now have 1 of those thingys that take the wet out of the air. The woman that come to get the carpet cleaner said about it, I phoned the landlady and she said it was ok and she would pay So the woman that came for the cleaner, came back out with this air thingy. Its here for a week Its already took out a litre of water.

I have already done todays mission, I do that every other week anyway I have done the normal daily bits and when DSs got home from school we made three cards for next door to say thankyou. We are going to give them to her in a bit.
At mo I am typing and helping DD with her tea. I going to have mine later.

I have some of the blocks you said about tortoise, DD wont let me get the last 2 on before she knocks them over. She always has fits of laughter when she does it.

Cowardly Quootie!

I'm worn out after the marathon walks to/from activities. I'm so glad dd1 gets a lift home, and we don't have to go out again.

Tortoise - Yes please, I'll email you...

I'm going to leav e the kitchen in a finished state this evening, and try and get an early night.
Parents visiting tomorrow, and I want to make biscuits for my dads birthday, so shopping and cooking to do in the morning.

We went next door with pressies and cards. It made her cry and then she tells me off. I told her that I had to do something to say thankyou and she was so good to help me. I told her too that I was not the only 1 who thought that she was a great neighbour We then got asked to stop for a coffee and DC each got slice her home made chocolate cake. Ok I had a small peice too. It was very very yummy
