You will be eating loads of sarnies then tort? lol I have not had my tea yet, but DSs have DD is still sleeping. I dont thing she is feeling 100% though. She has got very red cheeks but she does not feel hot.

I going to bath DSs in a mo. They got a bit dirty as we had leaf fights but it was fun

QuootieSpookypie · 21/10/2006 19:39

Just fed DS (in the vain hope that he might last longer than 45 mins before next feed if I feed solids this late), bathed him and out him to bed. He went off quite quick I daresay ill be back in there in a few mins...

TortUREoiseChamber · 21/10/2006 20:45

Evening all, just back from my holiday today. I normally have a horrible sense of dread coming home, but didn't this time perhaps because i didn't open the door to a smeely heap that gives the impression I have been burgled by rancid burglers.

But as I emptied the bins, put on dishwasher and left it all tidy it wasn't to bad.

I don't even have too much post holiday washing as I did a few half loads when we were away. ThankfullY I didn't have a spare toothbrush or I would have been at the taps and grout .

I have even put away most of the holiday stuff already, I did have a box lying since last years holiday full of drawing stuff, souviners and leaflets, infact I think it is now in the loft still intact .

So I am back and ready to get back to it.

TortUREoiseChamber · 21/10/2006 22:49

Hi Skribble. Hope you had a good holiday.
How nice to come home to a clean place.
Good to see you back.

Skribble · 21/10/2006 22:58

Thanks I have still to catch up with how all the flybabes are doing.

TortUREoiseChamber · 21/10/2006 23:00

Well ive been busy all week putting up decs for DS2's Halloween party which was today!
Link further down for pic of me and dc dressed up!

Skribble · 21/10/2006 23:04

I saw the pic . I will have to get mine kitted out for the school disco [groan]. Plus I voluntered to make halloween party favours for a friend who is doing a party at home for all her relations children. Doing them for free as I have all the stuff from a canceled order last year and just glad to get rid of the stuff. I will get them done sooner than later to avoid my usual last mintute panic. I am getting better .

jasnDISMemBERED · 22/10/2006 08:15

Morning, all.

DS slept last night, so I am looking like this today.

DP stayed in with the kids and I got to go and do a big shop ON MY OWN last night. If I don't have to buy more stuff during the week (except bread and milk) then we will definitely have saved money and it will become a regular thing

I'm giving myself a day off from flying today, just maintenance if kitchen and bathroom, nothing more.

SusiSkelletonInTheCloset · 22/10/2006 08:26

skribble welcome back - it's nice coming back home to not a bombsite, eh?!
glad you enjoyed your hols!

tort what a great picture! well done on entertaining all those kids and no injuries
deffinitly something to remember for them!

jasnem great that the shopping went well. little things make us happy already

i finally figures where our closest aldi and lidl is - they are rather cheap and still good quality and every week different extras to browse
i hope to go there every other week and do the 'main-shopping' there and fresh things during the week if needed.

jarm how was your night at your dads? you were supposed to get some rest and not tidy the whole house

Morning everyone,
I was here yesterday but only briefly, and missed this thread.
Today I am going to blitz the house..dh has the day off so he will be hogging the computer no doubt!!!
Good thing really as I have no excuses! Must do kitchen...light a fire..tumble dryer is buggered so need the rads on!
Must also dust our bedroom!

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 22/10/2006 08:44

The night at my dads was great thanks, a real treat to just do what i want because dad was there to sort the girls!

I felt almost 100% afain by yesterday morning, and my dads is SO lazy when it comes to cleaning, and my fly obsession set in and off i went!

He appreciated it though, so I could make this a weekly thing at his house and get paid for it!!

TortUREoiseChamber · 22/10/2006 10:47

Morning.
Having a lazy morning! DD2 was in my bed half the night.I woke at 3am half led in a big wet patch!She had wet the bed. My fault,i should of taken her for a wee when she woke up!
Susi I'd love to go to my local Aldi/Lidl but just too dificult with no car! Im not carrying piles of shopping with dd's on the train!

QuootieSpookypie · 22/10/2006 11:20

TortUREoiseChamber · 22/10/2006 11:27

Me too thats why it never gets done!! But I do have 5 peoples washing to sort.DS's can do theirs but just ram it in the draw then can't fit it all in!

QuootieSpookypie · 22/10/2006 11:28
