vibes to you tort]

well have made beef casserole using mulled wine i know had no red wine will it be ok tasted nice enough put lee and perins in and bay leafs and tin of tom going off recipe a bit.

Does smell a bit strange hope it turns out ok should be ironing right off to iron.

hope all the early risers manged to get a snooze today at some stage,

a dog does chill you out a bit. he loves me and falls asleep on my knee much to annoyance of d/d's

have ironing board up off to iron.

also want to remove biro from annabel's face

tortoiseLikesItNiceAndSlow · 12/02/2007 15:19

Hope it turns out ok snow. And good luck getting biro off baby Annabell!

Was going to start on bathroom but got side tracked.
Washed bath toy to Ebay it.
Cleaned high chair trays(been meaning to do them for about 3-4 wks!) And re-attached to high chairs as no big table for them to sit upto now.

Bathroom list looks pretty easy. Will make a start on that.

shouldbedoingthehousework · 12/02/2007 15:23

Afternoon all tort hope that call goes well

Sooo many posts today! Everyone's doing v well

The lo's and I went into town and did the errands for dh and also the remainder of the shopping that was missed yesterday. Came home, unpacked shopping and we all had lunch.
The kids spent their holiday money in town (£5 each) - dd got a little paint set and ds a disney PC game. Money well spent as dd has been painting since lunchtime and ds has been on the computer!
This has given me time to sort through a chest we have on the landing - I've emptied it out, hoovered underneath and am ashamed to say that only 2 items have gone back in - the rest was junk or has been put in it's correct place

Not much else happening atm - kids are getting bored and it's too wet to go out Ideas anyone??

See you later

Hi to all the FLY crew
Back from the school run about an hour ago and the kids have managed to turn the house upside down all over again - I give up !!
My "still have to do today" list
Clean bathrooms
Declutter living room/dining room/kitchen (all the stuff that creeps down over the weekend)
Dust surfaces downstairs
Make tonight's dinner
Brownies run with dd
Buy wedding present and deliver to friend's house
Go to gym for a run as I couldn't get this morning

There are just not enough hours in the day are there?! Anyhoo, making sure I'm going to have a cuppa and MN for a while, then get going again once the lo's homeworks are done. Good lists here today everyone - well done. Welcome boobylicious too

laloop · 12/02/2007 15:34

Hi bethron, hope wee one is better soon
shouldbe - it's hard to keep them entertained when it's wet outside. The Hasbro website (think it might be www.hasbro.com) is good for little girls - mylittlepony and littlest petshop etc, you can do projects online or print off colouring sheets. Mine are running about upstairs playing "Narnia" at the moment - feels like the ceiling is coming down, will have to go up and tell them to stop jumping on the beds

shouldbedoingthehousework · 12/02/2007 15:39

Thanks laloop, they seem to have started a game of hospitals, which they are enjoying and I'm trying to ignore! I wonder how long it'll last before dd gets too bossy for ds

tortoiseLikesItNiceAndSlow · 12/02/2007 15:40

Sounds like a lovely day shouldbe. Raincoats and wellies then chuck them out in the garden. Mine love to do that when i let them!!

DD2 just fell over and put her teeth through her lip so thats stopped my FLYing again. Sorted bath toys and dirty ones are soaking in the sink.

Ah DD2 has left my lap so i can get on now!

Bethron Hope your LO is better soon.

shouldbedoingthehousework · 12/02/2007 16:02

ouch tort - hope she's OK!
It's pelting down with rain now and is v cold so I think we'll be staying in! They're bored again but I think they can help make some supper and I'll plan for a bath and an early night....
