Morning all

DS has been up sine 5. Shall I go to toddler group (he fell asleep last time) or just go to the chemist, then come home and do some FLYing?

I'll be out this afternoon, and doing the Rainbow/Brownies thing this evening.

To do

wash up
shine sink
mop floor
clean fridge
wipe surfaces
hang out yesterdays washing
wash and dry 2 more loads
hoover downstairs
tidy bedroom
s &s bathroom
mission (no vanity unit, did bathroom windowsill on Monday, but whole computer area still not done)
MAKE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
sort out healthy food for me for today

I think I may ditch toddler group today...

Dust study desk and move paperwork into one pile instead of 6 !
Check online banking/emails
Report progress on mn !
Lunch

Load dishwasher

And relax......

Can't see much flying happening, have a poorly 5 yr old will try though.

Stacey hope last night was ok.

yaddayah · 14/03/2007 07:53

jelley if he's likely to be asleep, depends if you want a gossip or not .. is it that sort of group ? or is it one of the scary ones ?(my local one is.. i gave up on it .. i know i'm a wimp !)

staceym11 · 14/03/2007 07:59

well dh came home last night, apparantly he doesnt know whats going on but he knows he loves us all and wants to be here. and now hes trying to act like everything is ok, and yesterday never happened.

think we need to get rid of the kids for a bit so we can sort it out properly, i cant pretend it never happened, my world came crashing down and he just wants me to forget it! hopefully it means he wont be leaving, but hes got some explaining to do!!

thanks for all the kind words!

shouldbedoingthehousework · 14/03/2007 08:02

Morning

jelley my toddler group is very chatty so I'd probably go regardless (it's my time as much as ds's)

yadda good luck with those shirts (I used to hate doing them too - thankfully dh changed jobs and never needs a smart shirt anymore )

I have to tackle upstairs more seriously today. Have to wait in for a delivery for dh so can't do anything else anyway ~
~quick tidy downstairs
~wm x2
~hang out washing
~re-stock ds's bedroom
~hoover upstairs

~sort ds's old clothes ready for a friends ds
~mow front lawn
~dig out dead shrub from garden
~need to go to shops if delivery is early
~nag dh to build ds's new bed
~I have the rainbows run this eve too
That'll do....

Hope everyone's OK this morning

shouldbedoingthehousework · 14/03/2007 08:03

I don't do scary ones
I'll get the gossip in the afternoon (and tomorrow and Thursday am groups) so I've decided not to go.

dameW Hope he's ok. Can you just do the bare minimum, and have a cuddle day?

yaddah I don't iron dp wouldn't wear ironed shirts (doesn't have a shirt-type job any way) even if I did.

Morning jelley its a shame we don;t live nearer we could keep each other company at 5
I am going to give Baby Signing a miss again, as Ellie will either be asleep when we are due to leave, or fall asleep on the way & sleep right through
stacey So glad your dh wants to be with you all. Hope you get time to talk & have sometime without the kids very soon.{{hugs}}
yadd I don't have a vanity either. Have end of bath, or bathroom cabinet. Thankfully this gets wiped daily/every other day when I swish & swipe the bathroom.
damewashalot hope you dc is better soon.

I am off to sort me & dd out, I'll be back with a list.

damewashalot · 14/03/2007 08:10

Stacey, hope you can sort things out, dh has said similar "you'd all be better off without me" things in the past, which really upsets me but I know it has more to do with the way he is feeling about himself than us IYSWIM. Must go, need to take ds1 to school in 20mins and still in my pjs

satinshoes · 14/03/2007 08:18

morning all

dd2 up all night with cold so i will have to cancel her 3 mth jabs this afternoon.

Morning FLY peeps

stacey I'm pleased he has decided he wants to be with you all....but like most men I think he is being a berk! Don't let him just forget about it, as he needs to know how upset he made you...good luck sweetie, hope you get the chance to have a chat with him xxx

Well I have
~Loaded/unloaded d/w
~Done 1 load washing
~Done 1 load of drying
~Made a lemon drizzle cake

I'm going to have a quick whip round, then i'm off into town to go food shopping.
Cupboards are bare!!! Had to make a lemon cake as dd2 is whining at me and I have nothing left in the cupboards!!!

Right have to go and wash my hair, and tidy round.
