Good morning

Hi EHM, I know I shouldn't but your posts this morning have made me lol! I get mental blocks with doing links/emotions/typing too Have a good day - hope you have dh around to help with Ellie and give you some time out.
Satin Glad you're feeling a little better this morning - hope things continue that way
taylormama I have a pile of papaerwork which has been ignored for 3 years since ds was born so I'm sure your 3 weeks worth will be a breeze!

I have some bits and pieces to do today. Dh is working this morning, ds is almost over his cold and dd is coming down with a cold - great

~tidy up downstairs (shouldn't take too long - the place was tidy yesterday)
~change beds
~big clear-up upstairs - I'm hoping to rope the kids in to help
~choose paint for ds's room - we're redecorating this week
~ironing...maybe..
~deliver parish newsletter
~go to library and post office
~the usual dw, wm, td routine

That'll do - want some time with the family too (and perhaps time to talk to dh )
See you later x

Morning all,

EHM - Your posts have made me smile, too.

satin - I hope things get better for you.

I have changed all the beds, washed as much as I can (lots more to do. Will have to leave some until tomorrow), and have a shiny sink, and two dinners in the freezer.

DP is shopping for me on his way home from work, so I just need to tidy and hoover, and then maybe sit and read a book if ds will play. (The dds have a new HP video and are watching that)

tortoise · 03/03/2007 11:59

Hi all.
Just a quick hello while comp is free!
Got to take ds2 to a party soon.Its only 1 and half hours long! By the time we walk home it will be almost time to pick him up again! Will take at least 20 mins to walk there with dd1 walking.

Have a good day all. See you later.

taylormama · 03/03/2007 15:56

there seems to be some good flying happening here today - i have done really well (although still ignoring the paperwork but i don't feel too bad shouldbe!!!)

i just need to tackle the kitchen and make tonights dinner - sausage casserole and then choc/walnut brownies with vanilla ice cream (yum!!)

ludaloo · 03/03/2007 16:02

GF you will have definately deserved a latte!! ( I actually have no idea what a latte is!! LOL!! I'm presuming it is nice though...the donkey in Shrek says everyone loves latte!!!)

Well I have nowunloaded and reloaded the D/W and put another load of washing on...
I'm struggling to do anything major though.

Its the kitchen next week isn't it...I might do a good finish off in the living room then make a head start on the kitchen.
I'll do the curtains tommorrow now...its a bit late in the day for taking them off.

shouldbedoingthehousework · 03/03/2007 16:10

Anyone free to come and help with the paperwork sometime...?.....taylormama? Anyone?....

ludaloo · 03/03/2007 16:12

I'll help!! I'm as bored as.... um.... a big boardy thing!

ludaloo · 03/03/2007 16:17

Its no good...I'm so bored I'm going to dust... ( gone are the days when I would go down the local for half a lager and a packet of salt and vinigar crisps to while away a Saterday afternoon...sigh...)

How do you spell Saterday?? Saturday...saterday.... must go dust......

tortoise · 03/03/2007 16:19

DC are out playing.
I'm feeling a bit . Whatever we play someone gets upset about losing or gets stroppy because its not gone how they want (ie they win!).
DS2 was trying to kick my leg and i moved so his heel hit my knee. Really hurt me and i will probably have another bruise. He didn't appologise for it. I just got up and left the room or i might of lost it with him!

Oh well, they are now fighting and arguing on the trampoline. I better go supervise!

I will still miss them when they leave at 5.

tortoise · 03/03/2007 16:21

That reads like i meant his heel to hit my knee. I mean i moved and unfortunatly he kicked out again and caught my knee.

shouldbedoingthehousework · 03/03/2007 16:23

Saturday Luda
Come onto MSN if you're bored...beats dusting any day
