Morning all

well yesterday I spent most of the day drinking tea and eating toast with s succession of friends visiting.
Today we have toddler group and a first birthday party to go to, so not much flying going to happen. Rainbow and Brownies hell to follow school.

Happy FLYing.

Morning glitterfairy stacey jelley and EHM

Looks like you're all quite busy today. I did virtually no housework yesterday so will have to get stuck in this morning (despite having all dc's at home today, school being used as polling station as local elections over here today). Also have weightwatchers this morning (joined last week) so wish me luck for my weigh-in this morning (maybe the FLYing will help burn a few cals??).

Will try to get back with a list later.
Hope everyone has a nice day today.

laloop · 07/03/2007 08:39

morning everyone!!!!!!!!

ludaloo · 07/03/2007 10:13

God I'm being a T@@T today!!!

I was bopping along to the radio whilst doing the kitchen. DD2 is standing on a chair "washing up". The cat leapt over the stair gate which made it bang, so I leant round to see what the bang was and I catch the hoover out the corner of my eye, which DD1 has hung her pyjamas on (not sure why).
It made me physically jump at least three inches off the ground and shreek like a big girl!!!!!!! DD2 also then jumps (and subsequently cries) and the cat frieks out and knocks a cup off the side!

(I have now had to move the hoover...to prevent it looking like a funny old person standing watching me...console DD2 and give myself a good slap!!!) [eyes rolling emoticon] !!!)

satinshoes · 07/03/2007 10:16

lol @ luda

last night dh and i were trying to find something under dds toy box. out came a toy mouse (the cat's) it looked so realistic we both jumped 3 feet

staceym11 · 07/03/2007 10:38

ludaloo · 07/03/2007 10:45

staceym11 · 07/03/2007 10:57

satin i use microfibre cloths........in nappies as boosters! lol, might try cleaning with them too, sounds good!

yaddayah · 07/03/2007 10:58

morning people !

My dd has a grey plastic rabbit from her farm set which if you look at it from a certain angle looks like a tiny dead mouse .. its caught me out a few times .. yuck

Cleared out the toaster last week so i'll just miss todays mission

House pretty ok at the moment due to yesterdays marathon cleaning session

still got a huge pile of ironing to do

must train myself to just dry it and shake it ala fly, but old habits dying hard.. i find myself saying .. well it only takes a second to iron a t towel.. yeah well just stop looking at it and get on with it then !

No list today, just doing to do a general tidy up of toys and stuff as i see them

Have a good day all

satinshoes · 07/03/2007 11:01

stacey - i normally use windolene to clean glass and mirrors but the microfibre cloth got them clean & smear-free without any product.

yaddah - tell me you dont iron tea towels

ludaloo · 07/03/2007 11:19

oooh microfibre cloths are the dogs!!! I love them! My dad actually introduced me to them and I clean everything with them!!
