LOL @LUDALOO
Latte a coffee made mainly with milk v.nice however i presume that a soy decaf is a healthy version made from soy milk and minus the caffeine .Not my cup of tea (or coffee.)
Also think it's spelt Saturday.
I am feeling lazy today have kept on top of house all week so today just maintenance although that's enough with my 2.They have just found a bottle of ink and emptied it on carpet (it came out luckily).
Also emptied all the clean folded clothes awaiting put away.When i had the cheek to tell them off they told me they were the wonderpets and the washing basket was the flyboat,then launched into the theme tune..What can you do?

squatchette · 03/03/2007 16:36

Hello Tort didn't see you there hope you are well hon apart from the bruises.Mine are always fighting it drives me mad sometimes.
Well i better go and pick some toys up and get the prep done for tea .I am following a recipe a rare event for me lol .Bye xx

tortoise · 03/03/2007 17:26

Well they have gone. DS2 was crying as he left. Mainly because he wanted to take DS1s PS2 game with him! Everything at daddys is rubbish he said! He wanted to stay here. Its so hard when he does that. Used to be everytime one of them would cry saying they didn't want to go! I can't wait for this to be all over.

I better find something for tea now. xp1 gets DS's tea but he can't even manage to cook them anything. Every saturday is mcDonalds!

grouchyoscar · 03/03/2007 18:48

Hello again

DS been very very 'off it' going from burning hot to shivery cold. He spent most of the afternoon asleep and would wake to grizzle and ask for his potty or a new damp cloth for his head. Hope it goes as quickly as it came on.

Had some time to fly so I

Empty WM and sort for drying
Take wet washing up 2 flights
Sort damp washing for TD (3 loads)
Hung up new wet washing
Take damp washing down 2 flights
Load and run TD
Start to prep evening meal (Sausage and onion casserole)
Empty TD
Fold dry washing
Load and run TD
Make evening meal
Check DS
Field call from Bro re DF (bit worried about him all seems to be OK tho)
Empty TD
Fold dry laundry
Load and run TD - repeat
Take dry laundry upstairs for putting away

In bed now with DS sound asleep and snoring next to me. DH is out tonight with friends but we have no sitter as MIL is looking after 3 kids for someone else (not even family, bit miffed at that tbh). So I'm on childcare duty (again) I'll enjoy an early night with my new teddy!

Have great evenings ladies

tortoise · 03/03/2007 18:53

Awww GO Hope he is better soon.

grouchyoscar · 03/03/2007 19:01

Me too! It's awful to hear him whimper and calpol won't touch it.

I know he's ill when he turns down food...esp sausages.

HazelNuts · 03/03/2007 21:54

Evening all.

Hello EHM Sorry that little madame is still not sleeping to well.

I had a bad night with DD she has a really bad cold and it kept her wake for most of the night. I have only just managed to get her to sleep now. HNtree came over today and took the boys shopping while DD and myself got a little more sleep. I have not dont much at all today apart from what I have to do. I did put some washing out this morning only for it to get wet again as it tipped it down with rain Then the sun had the cheek to show again after. LOL.

I have had a quick read through todays posts I cant remember who has what or done what so well done everyone and {{{{hugs}}}}} for those in need of hugs and get well soon to those who are feeling poorly.

After being away for 2 weeks its hard to get back into MN to know who's who.

Right, Im going to take some tabs for my head as Ive got headache on its way to being a bad one cos Im tired I think.

See you all tomorrow, I will try and get in earlier tomorrow.

NN all xxx

ludaloo · 04/03/2007 08:39

ludaloo · 04/03/2007 08:48

Hi GF ...yes I had better go and put a load on!

glitterfairy · 04/03/2007 08:54

Yes I am carrying on with yesterdays list as well as I didnt get it all done. But have ballet this mnorning and promised all of them I would go on a bike ride with them!

shouldbedoingthehousework · 04/03/2007 09:21

Morning

Dd was awake a lot in the night with a raging temperature but seems fit and well so far this morning what's that about then? Hopefully that's the end of it, poor girl
The restlessness means tht dh and I didn't really get our intended chat

Have quite a bit on today. Was going to take the kids to church but they're still in the bath and the sevice starts in 30mins so can't see that happening - and also prob not good just in case dd is still poorly.
Then ds has a party to go to at midday - I'm hoping he'll be happy to be left there but we'll see how it goes...

A couple of bits are carried over from yesterday ~
~big clear-up upstairs - I'm hoping to rope the kids in to help
~clear out ds's room ready for decorating (! HUGE job!)
~need to iron school stuff for tomorrow
~usual everyday downstairs stuff - dw etc

That'll do, I'm expecting the sort out upstairs to take most of the day.

shouldbedoingthehousework · 04/03/2007 09:22

oh, and stay OFF MN if possible - spent HOURS on the computer yesterday ...doubt I'll be able to "done" this one though...

tortoise · 04/03/2007 10:12

Morning all.
Am a bit tired today! Went to bed at about 12.30! And DD's awake at 7!

They are having a bath at the moment. Normal morning bits done.

Need to get milk later and the weather is foul. We are going to get soaked.

Must finish typing letter to my Mum today too. need to post it Tuesday to make sure her Mothers day card arrives in time.

Have a good Sunday.

My stuff on Ebay ends tonight. Have a peek you might see something you like.

satinshoes · 04/03/2007 10:26

Morning all.

Have visitors today so have hoovered everywhere downstairs, cleaned the kitchen & downstairs loo and cleared a hotspot on the paino in the dining room. Amazing what you can do when people are coming over! Flying must be working though as that only took about 30 mins!

Tort - love the teddycam. Not sure I could justify to DH though!

We have had our 3rd night of sleep from 10-5 so I'm ecstatic.

DD2 still grupy from this virus but the rash seems to have cleared thankfully. shouldbe my dd had a raging temp last tuesday then nothing till thursday when she woke with sticky eyes and then had a rash by the evening.

Have a good day all.

tortoise · 04/03/2007 10:27

Hi satin Glad DD1 is a little better. Have a good day with your visitors.

Teddy cam is great! Ive listed it about 4 times now and still no one bids on it.

glitterfairy · 04/03/2007 10:54

Right so far have

hoovered lving room
Tidied and sorted living room doing one or two missions from last week such as underneath sofa etc.
Hoovered downstairs loo
Started on kitchen
Made a smoothie
One load of drying and onther on
Roast lamb with garlic in oven for later on slow cook

Am now off to shower wash and get ready to go out. Until later. Have a good day.

grouchyoscar · 04/03/2007 12:03

Morning All

DS is a hell of a lot better, complaining of indigestion now but that's cos he rushed brunch.

He woke up at 11:45 last night with a 2nd wind. DH home at 12:30...I eventually got to sleep at 2 am! Up at 7 with a lively DS.

Done so far
Up
S&S Loo
S&S bathroom
Take laundry downstairs
Load WM
Load and run DW
Make ice cream for dinner
Make DS bed and draw curtains
Make our bed and draw curtains
S&S Kitchen worktops
Put Ice cream to freeze (involves making freezer space)
Empty DW
Get miffed when DH deems my freezer space unsuitable and moves the freezer contents around I'm never allowed to do anything in the kitchen without him sticking his twopen'orth in (cept the kitchen portering)
Put away
Clean kitchen table
Play with DS
Have brunch
Tidy away
Load and run DW
Play with DS

Hit the 'you need some rest fool' feeling so palm ds off on DH and get back into bed.

Must put pile of clean dry laundry away and do ironing today. After yesterday, that's my lot in terms of flying today

1st priority is sleep. I'll never get this MS attack out of the way if I don't rest up properly. Meds can only do so much tbh

Have a wonderful Sunday ladies

ludaloo · 04/03/2007 12:47

Good list as always GO shouldbe hope dd is ok, and you are alright xxxxx

WTF is wrong with me?! Why am i still sat here when the kitchen is a mess and we need to get milk? with myself.

Gootd list GO Hope you get some rest.

ludaloo · 04/03/2007 14:53

Hey tort Don't be so hard on yourself...It is sunday...and its grim outside, so you are likely to be feeling a bit flat.
Its kitchen week next week anyway, so don't get too stressed you can do it then!

I have made rice crispie cakes, and a fruit loaf so my kitchen is smelling very nice!

Fire is lit...it was getting really cold!! I hate the cold wet weather!!! Roll on summer!!

ludaloo · 04/03/2007 14:55

GO hope you managed to get some sleep xx
