My sink shines

Going away now you all make me look bad

Mhamai · 14/03/2007 13:16

Ok am going thanks.

Erm no I didn't nine, now to be fair dd has had quite a hectic week at work, have been reminding ds 6 to pick up after him and for the last couple of nights he's been taking hid trousers off, folding them and leaving them just inside the bathroom door but bless.
Have also been thinking of kkeping a rota and presenting to dd and saying ok I will do this and you can do that type of thing.

Mhamai · 14/03/2007 13:17

shouldbedoingthehousework · 14/03/2007 18:06

Nothing much else achieved here this afternoon...
Did manage to pop to town but forgot to go to the bank while I was there which will mean a 15mile round trip to do it tomorrow
Dd is at rainbows having had a friend to play after school too - she'll be tired and grumpy later I expect, but it's been fun.
Dh is building ds's bed with ds 'helping' as I type

Off for a bath once dd is collected and then maybe an early night - still tired and have this lingering sore throat...

Have been terrible at reading through the threads lately but satin hope dd is soon better and Luda the beach sounds fun

ludaloo · 14/03/2007 18:15

There are sooo many posts!
Just a big HELLO to everyone, and hope poorlies are feeling better, and satin your ds gets better soon.

Yadda lol at the workmen! Grab your self a diet coke and have a good oggle

Well off to eat and hoover crisps and tictacs off the floor!

Bye for now

ludaloo · 14/03/2007 18:40

sorry satin...dd!!!!

Flamesparrow · 14/03/2007 19:12

Been being a lady of business this afternoon (really weird - suddenly felt like a WAHM rather than someone playin with a website).

Got 3 loads of washing done and dry in the end (really need to put away )

Will do sink when dinner dishes done.

I like the "look down on chaos" NUT - at least the futon had a sheet on (Oh and Jelley - I automatically read it and thought "nut then..." )

Mhamai · 14/03/2007 19:20

Good evening all, haven't had a chance to read all the posts but hope everyone has had a good fly day.

I am a little guilty re my list as I didn't get to complete it, made beds and such and did basics but also had to do some reading for college and then had a lovely snooze for an hour. Anyhoo if I remember, one of the tasks was to cloth wipe the pooter screen, ah well I'll do that now and I can MN at the same time

tortoise · 14/03/2007 19:25

Evening all. (well,anyone thats here in the evening!)
Had a good day here. Took DS's to school then came home and put washing out then had a little tidy round for SW coming.
SW's visit went fine. She let me know her recommendations for court (which i already knew!).
After she had gone at 12.45 we went to meet friend in the park for a picnic. It was lovely and warm sitting in the sun. Stayed there for about an hour and a half then popped to the shops and home.

Got washing in, Put tea on and ironed again while it was cooking.!
Still need to put it away. Will do that tomorrow when DD1 is at pre-school.

Hope all poorlies are better soon.

nickytwotimes · 14/03/2007 19:27

hello. i'm a newby. please could you tell me what FLY is?

Mhamai · 14/03/2007 19:37

Hi nickytwotimes and welcome to fly, I'm a newbie too, ok theres a site that we link to called Flylady, it gives advice re keeping the house clean and in order, some of us fly girls do a list, firstly with a to do, then a done one, by the way I don't think this is compulsary, anyhoo the ladies here are a lovely friendly and supportive bunch. Hope you enjoy flying. Maybe someone could do a lik to fly for you as my linking skills are a bit rusty.

Mhamai · 14/03/2007 19:38

Flamesparrow · 14/03/2007 20:11

Sink ain't gonna be shined - am completely exhausted now babies are in bed.

But at least I'll have a goal tomorrow

JustIvor · 14/03/2007 20:23

Hello to all. I've skimmed quickly through the thread. Get well wishes to all those who are ill.

luda There were lads playing rugby on the beach in shorts outside my office today! One tried to get into a canoe and kept falling out. I thought that maybe I should take a camera to work in future to capture such moments! I had a rotten start to the day, I couldn't park near work so had to park in the park and ride and walk in! I spent 20mins trying to park and then it took about another 20 to get into work. Grrr.

I daren't be here any longer. I must walk the dog and iron at least 2 shirts for dh for tomorrow. Need to get the kids' beds made first, though.

See you tomorrow all. Have a good evening.

JustIvor · 14/03/2007 20:30

Just read last night's thread after I'd left. You two EHM and shouldbe are such silly billies!
