Morning,

Luda I love the potato masher in the wardrobe

I had another rubbish night with ds. When he wakes up he seems to think it's time to get up whatever the time really is. Not sure what to do...how do you make a 10 month old go to sleep?

Today is supposed to be a rest day, but i always have more to do on a Saturday...

~ change beds
~ washing (2-3 loads)
~ wah up
~ sink
~ clean fridge, inside and out
~ post office
~ bank
~ market
~ Tescos (go on my own when dp gets home from work)
~ hoover downstairs

Hi evrybody not caught up with threads. My saga of woes continues, despite having flu/tonsilitis, dd having ear infection. CH boiler broken will be repaired on 12th. I have managed to strain my back which has worsened over the last couple of days. Had acupuncture at 12 today plus massage. Massage was very painful. Felt much better having left the appointment. Was ok when coughing or sneezing. Then when I got home started to hurt again. Couldn't move at one point now taken lots of pain killers am mobile.eating soup at table. DH has been looking after dd, my mum is coming on Monday
Hope you are all ok? Hope to back flying very soon. My house is a tip!

Cappucino Baby steps all on the one page and this page is good and there is a link to Kelly's mission there too. I think you have to join then opt for a single daily e.mail with all the info in one.

thanks; I must be half asleep today because I regularly go to those pages

Hello all

Not done too much other than make the house acceptable for best mate and H2b to come round and play with DS

But I thought I'd let you and hazelnuts know that in playing with DS that
MY RING HAS TURNED UP
Despite hunting through the yucky bins and vac bag etc it appeared in DS's Cars Flo's V8 Cafe playset when I took it from it's toy box.

Basically I left it in the pub so to speak

This must be the 3rd time my ring has gone missing (worst was thinking I'd lost it at the Leeds V Real Madrid game...it turned up 3 weeks later in the tumble dryer condenser {????}) so on the to do list this week is to pop to the jewllers and have a 2nd piece taken out of it.

To Do today
sort out the washing up d/w etc
Ironing
Laundry
Putting away of everything.

Morning all, no flying here today. Still pain free thanks to pain killers. Dr called last night & he increased dosage to include 2 tablet. Should be much better in 48 hours feel less like wincing this morning. Missing looking after dd, had big cuddle this morning. Can't pick her up so dh has to pass her to me.
Hope you all have a good day what ever you do!

JustIvor · 07/01/2007 10:51

Hi Skribble. Is it the A5 diary you bought or the A6 one? I've got the A5 and don't like it much but am determined to stick with it for 2007. I'm also printing off the calendar from the Outlook Calendar on the PC on a weekly basis which is kept up to date with appointments and things plus all the recurring things ie birthdays are on there.

tortoise · 07/01/2007 13:36

Ive been busy in DS's room! Have taken before photos.look here .

Stopping for lunch but hope to have after photos to put on later.

grouchyoscar · 07/01/2007 14:16

Hello all

Thought I'd be doing nothing today but I've
Vacced downstairs
Ironed
Put all the clean laundry away
Tidied DS's very messy bedroom
Made bed and tidied our room
Cleaned out the cellar and cat trays (yuck)
Had a long hot bath and also bathed DS
Tidied bathroom after DF decided that the shower tap made a great 'Jammy Dodger' engine effect.

Think I deserve some me/mn time

Thanks to all re the ring. I'm stapling it to my finger!
