hello all you lovely flyers!

Have had couple of days off as dd started school and I didn't want to be round the house when they weren't here and didn't want to do housework when they were so a bit of a slide but I am back and will be flying again at teh weekend - well monday....

You all seem to be working really hard. tortoise missed any outburst or whatever so don't know what you are talking about. Hope you aren't going anywhere - would miss you loads.

satinshoes am amazed when I see you on here having logged onto the computer with a babe so tiny - let alone read that you have been doing housework!!!

everyone else sorry I am not reading the thread too closely as would feel hyper guilty!

Taylormama Thats not good!! Sorry to hear that...I hope you are able to find another soon (presuming you want to)
Anyway have a big {{{{HUG}}}} xx

Well I managed to complete my list, and sort through the clothes. I still have at least another load of washing...I never ever manage to empty the basket! But that can wait..I'm sick of the sound of the W/M.

I found the potato masher in the bottom of my wardrobe today too!!!...god only knows how and when it got there but I had been looking for it for yonks! I had to mash xmas day potatoes with a fork in the end!!!!

grouchyoscar I lost my wedding ring about a month after my dh and I got married - was a horrible feeling....a friend then rang to say she'd received it in with a parcel I'd sent her. Hope yours turns up soon too.
everyone else - hope the day's gone well

Lazylou · 05/01/2007 19:31

Evening all!

God, I missed my fix this morning, having got up late for work. Not intending on doing anything tonight but will be back in the morning with my list of stuff to do!

Hope it's gone well today!

JustIvor · 05/01/2007 19:36

Hello all. Just a quick post. I've not done well today. My list:-
~ post thank you notes
~ do some ironing (did some, need to do some more)
~ cancel magazine subscription looked into it, need to ring them
~ do about 3 loads of washing done and dried
~ walk the dog done
~ maybe go shopping. If not e-mail a list to dh for him to do tomorrow now instead as dh came home early
~ book a haircut for me tomorrow instead
~ cleaned the shower done

On the plus side. The washing up is done. The bowl is knackered though and is a devil to replace as it is so rectangular. N. B. You can't think of any options other than Woolies and Charlies and that all sorts place near Mecca can you, luda? Also, there isn't a farmers market in town tomorrow is there? By my reckoning it should be a week tomorrow.
The decs are off the tree and in the attic. The tree is staying up until tomorrow and I missed taking down one card so I hope that qualifies us as having our decs up until the 12th night. I helped dd make her fairy cakes and straighten her hair. That took a bit of time as I'm clueless with hair and it's the first time she has done it since it was cut.

Just a quick poll. Who thinks that hair like that blonde woman in Coronation Street who was going to marry Fred Elliot (Shelley's mother?) is naff? I'm thinking of having my hair done like that. At the moment it is a bit Deirdre Barlow-like but longer with blonde bits in. Don't I sound awful?!!! All suggestions welcomed!

Also, sorry to taylormama (have I got the name right? I've pressed preview and don't want to go back and lose this post). I hope something else comes along. I had to be prepared to find something else nearly 2 yrs ago when it looked like I was going to lose my job. I had a few ideas and, though I did keep my job and didn't need to use the ideas, it started me thinking of doing something else and that restless feeling hasn't gone away. Sorry, just rambling on here! Oh dear, this was supposed to be a short post. I'd best sign off and crack on with something.

HazelnutsDoesNotDrink · 05/01/2007 21:03
