Morning ladies

I have just read over the end of yesterdays thread...
shouldbe I hope you are feeling better today, I'm sorry I missed your posts yesterday. I know you probably have lots of people to chat to, but if you want, my address is ludaloo at lycos dot com, I'm always around if you fancy a moan or a chat, we all get like that at times xxx

I have no plans for today apart from the odd bit of washing. Dd1 has a party to go to tommorrow so I need to get organised for that too.

Have a good day everyone

Thanks tort That Marslady is a clever bean!!! Has she got her own website??? I'm very new to cooking...I generally avoid it but have recently found I can do it quite well! My sponge is notibly better recently! I will definately give this a go!!!

Grouchy You know I read the first line of your post and thought your Ds was telling you YOU had done a poo...then my mind boggled when you said it was that, and a nightime leak!!! (then I re read it and it made better sense!!!!...I'm a bit dim at times!!! lololol!!)
Oh....no idea what is for dinner here...I haven't even looked!! Will do it soon though.

Hello to all. There are some very impressive done lists on this thread and mine isn't one of them!

Hard to type. Cat is on my lap.

~ send the last of the thankyou notes ( I keep neglecting this one!)
~ ironing
~ walk the dog done
~ put new towels in airing cupboard and sort out tatty ones done
~ find item to be returned to Cotswold
~ find receipt for faulty item to be returned to Hawkshead

I'll try to get the rest done this afternoon/evening. It doesn't help that the kids and I have been playing Monopoly on and off. I love board games and its a good excuse not to do some real tasks!

Hello to shouldbe.

Yes, I slept through thanks luda. I would really have liked to have gone back to bed after breakfast, though. Never mind. I'll iron what we need for work and school tomorrow in a minute and then I won't feel too far behind. I've decided that I'll get something made from fresh then frozen from the freezer tonight ready for tea tomorrow. I did that for lunch today too. With dh away atm I could do with a few shortcuts.

shouldbedoingthehousework · 21/01/2007 17:03

Well, downstairs is looking pretty good - just need to empty the dw when it finishes and shine my sink. I finally bought some flowers for downstairs too so it's looking (and hopefully will be smelling) lovely. The td is still in the hall b/c it has to be out of the way ready fo the wm repair man to come again in the week so that slightly spoils the look of things but never mind. I haven't had the heart to pack away the game of lego that the lo's were playing yesterday so that's also out everywhere in the playroom but that's what the room's for after all
Upstairs is coming along. There's more to put away and I've been gathering all the loose papers from around and about so they're all in a heap atm - again, it should be a short term problem so not too bad.

I've had swan lake on TV while I've been tidying - shame dd isn't here, she'd love it. Maybe MIL has noticed it's on and is letting her watch it.

I'm off to empty next door's wm and load our td. Will do the kitchen after that.

Bye for now

oh and thanks ivor

ludaloo · 21/01/2007 17:21

Had cheese and tomato pasta bake in the end, with garlic bread and a bit of a salad. Nice and quick, and like you ivor my dh is not here, so he can't object! (he's not a big pasta fan)and anything quick and filling helps!!!!! The kids are still eating...I'm just scoffing all the garlic bread! I bet I smell LOVELY!!!!!!

JustIvor · 21/01/2007 17:34

You're welcome shouldbe.

luda Will dh not be having garlic bread when he returns home? If not, he'll heave!

Have popped out for more water for the iron. Back to minding the Monopoly game whilst ironing.

tortoise · 21/01/2007 17:46

EllieHsMum · 21/01/2007 20:41

Tort Enjoy the lemon cake

shouldbedoingthehousework · 21/01/2007 20:42

tort you have been working hard (and burning a few calories I expect )

EHM thanks, will do x

My babies are home and tucked up asleep in their beds - dh is making supper
Ds did that weird thing that kids do and went to sleep with his eyes open - freaks me out a bit It's nice to have them back - I've really missed them, the house was v quiet today.

Downstairs still looks great (not that I'm blowing my own trumpet or anything!) but upstairs needs more work. I didn't have the chance to mop the floors so will do that in the week.

Have a good evening everyone

tortoise · 21/01/2007 20:44

Aww shouldbe glad your DC are home and sleeping. Its always weird when they are not home!

And well done for all your hard work and staying off isketch.

Hi HN. didn't see you there. Hope comp sorted soon.

Supper smells lovely and we have blackberry and apple pie for pud - must dig the custard powder out from the back of the cupboard

EllieHsMum · 21/01/2007 20:49
