Hello EHM - hope you haven't been awake since too early this morning...
luda hope you're feeling better today x
HN bloomin' computers! Hope we see more of you soon

We were going to go to my db's for the weekend but I don't think we are after-all now. It's a long drive and at this time of year in the cold and dark it may be a bit much to do for only 2 days (and I should be working tomorrow)
And we have to get a new wm this weekend or I may go MAD!
I have ds with me today so progress will be slower but I've already been briefing him on what I need some help with...

~make dh a packed lunch
~make beds
~clear breakfast stuff
~empty and reload dw
~shower and dress (dh doing school run - yay!)
~washing to neighbour xlots !
~washing into td
~empty td and put away what doen't need ironing
~tidy spare room/office (carried over form yesterday)
~quick once-over with hoover downstairs
~quick once-over with hoover upstairs
~s&s cloakroom
~s&s kitchen
~dust downstairs
~make buscuits/cakes
~collect dd from school and bring her and a friend back to play
~dd, ds and friends can decorate cakes/buscuits
~tidy away some toys in the garden (left out yesterday
~get stuff ready for work tomorrow

That's probably about it. There's bound to be some extras once I get going though.

Have a good day all

EllieHsMum · 26/01/2007 08:07

I'm a bit alarmed to see the lengh of my list too

shouldbedoingthehousework · 26/01/2007 08:21

..have just
~empty and reload dw done
~make dh a packed lunch done
~clear breakfast stuff done

so made a good start...think I'll have a cup of tea now...

satinshoes · 26/01/2007 08:37

Morning all.

last night was a keiller as between 4pm and 1am DD had 3 naps of about 30 mins. But.....she slept from 1pm until 6am which is her longest stretch yet so i'm hoping it was a growth spurt (she fed loads) and maybe she'll start sleeping longer...

all breast pain seems to have disappeared so not so worried now.

managed to declutter main bedroom yesterday so today just need to dust it and change the sheets. If i get time I'll sort through underwear although saving all nice bras for when I stop nursing

This weekend we have to go to rubbish tip and bottle bank as we're overflowing with crap. Nothing i can freecycle unfortunately - broken tables, old manky carpets etc.

Have a good day all.

Hope the next few days arent too rough for you ruby

tortoise · 26/01/2007 08:49

shouldbedoingthehousework · 26/01/2007 09:17

agh Neighbour not working today cos she has visitors coming for the weekend and so I can't borrow her wm again till Weds! - nightmare...piles of washing have taken over the landing........

I'll have to ring round other friends or just put up with it for another few days until we buy wm and have it delivered/installed etc...this could mean time spent driving baskets of laundry around all day ...or try handwashing in the bath (spin cycle still works in half-hearted fashion on wm)...could do without all this

Laundrette is 8 miles away........

shouldbedoingthehousework · 26/01/2007 09:18

sorry just needed to get that off my chest - feel better for ranting...

satinshoes · 26/01/2007 09:20

forgot to say. DD2 gave us her first 'proper' smiles this morning

also, i have added a picture of DDs to my photo page in my profile if your interested

JustIvor · 26/01/2007 09:20

I'd ask friends shouldbe. I'm sure your friends won't mind.

shouldbedoingthehousework · 26/01/2007 09:21

Oh FGS ! just been into dd's room to make her bed and dicovered that she wet the bed over night and didn't notice/tell us! More laundry...

shouldbedoingthehousework · 26/01/2007 09:32

3 friends rung - none in...left messages with 2 so hope someone will get back to me... Don't realise how much you use the wm until you don't have it...

Still, on a plus note, there's virtually no ironing this week

tortoise · 26/01/2007 09:35

Lovely photo satin.

Oh no shouldbe. Nightmare. Have you tried freecycle? Might be one that will tide you over then can be freecycled again!

TD emptied and dirty bits put in.
Worktop wiped down.
Sink cleaned.
Floor swept.
Hotspot cleared.

To do
Wash floor.
Pick up toys in front room.
Then hoover.
Dress DD's!

They are sitting on the sofa singing twinkle twinkle to each other at the moment

Oh no not anymore! Fighting over whos going to pick up the post now!

shouldbedoingthehousework · 26/01/2007 09:43

Hi tort my dad has just told me he has a spare machine (why he's left it this long to tell me I don't know ) We can borrow it but he needs it back cos it goes in a property he rents out (no tenants at the mo though) Can't collect it from my dad till over the weekend and may well jsut go and collect our own new one by then anyway - I've rung a local appliance shop and they stock the brand we like so we may be able to buy it (adding to credit card bill ) and collect it ourselves tomorrow once I finish work.

Things are improving again...phew...

shouldbedoingthehousework · 26/01/2007 09:44

Just had a peek - lovely photo satin

tortoise · 26/01/2007 09:45
