oh shouldbe Its all done then! Great!! Bless him! you see they are sometimes grateful of our efforts!

shouldbedoingthehousework · 15/03/2007 13:46

It's almost all done now Luda, yes. Just some shelves and the blind (when it arrives) to put up It looks good and it clearly just what ds wanted

EHM enjoy your rest while Ellie sleeps x

ludaloo · 15/03/2007 13:47

oh good! you have a happy little chappy then!

Lazylou · 15/03/2007 14:02

Hi Everyone. HAven't been here for ages . I need to start again with this FLYing thing as the house is in a state. I can't seem to get to the bottom of it.

Anyway, in a feeble attempt at a start I have:

*Hung the washing out on the line and done 2 more loads ready to go out.
*Washed up and bleached all the cups because of DH and his tea stains.
*Made lunch (Still to wash up after this)

A pretty pathetic attempt to be honest. But hey, I've got loads I want to do so I'm going to check in on the site and find out how to get started again!

Hope everyone is having a good day!

ludaloo · 15/03/2007 14:04

ahhh hi lazylou I was thinking about you the other day...how are things going??

I have to go and dust! I have put a dvd on for Ds and there are that many smudges everywhere I keep thinking I'm seeing migraine spots!

JustIvor · 15/03/2007 14:23

Ha ha Jelley. You need to remember also that we have daft, fit, young male students playing on said beach on occasions. Roll on summer!

dame There was a downside though. You would've had me as a friend! (Not that you haven't now, but you know what I mean, I'd have been within popping in for a cup of tea distance.)

luda Those migraines sound awful. I hope the doc is able to suggest something that helps.

I've been reading up the thread and found that luda posted 5 times in a row. She started by telling us all about Credenza. For those of you who are wondering if she is a bit ... ... you know... I have met her twice and ... ... ...

She is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello to everyone else. I must go and walk the dog in a mo so just a brief time on MN for me today. Plus, I need to allow time for luda to forgive me! She does make very good Welsh cakes btw.

ludaloo · 15/03/2007 14:40

IVOR!!! HOW VERY DARE YOU!!

(Actually I'm a self confessed wierdo...often catch myself doing strange things...talking to myself, really, is only very mild! )

Your forgiven Ivor

I was just actually comming on to post, that my Dh has just phoned and says he thinks snow is on the way! Or could this be his cunning and evil plan to make me fetch the coal?? (he won't be back until late and insisits the fire needs to be lit well before, so we don't all freeze)

This is the man who once told me I had given him AESS (Air Eye Shock Syndrome) because I blew a lash out of his eye!!!....and I actually believed him! Until he told me Post men got it a lot...and peeping toms

shouldbedoingthehousework · 15/03/2007 14:42

Just off to collect dd from school

Ivor and Luda you make me

Someone at pre-school was talking about snow being on the way too

ludaloo · 15/03/2007 14:44

hmmm....it might not be an evil and cunning plan then....GAH I HATE FETCHING THE COAL!!!

ludaloo · 15/03/2007 14:48

oh...and dame you sound like you have had a lucky escape there! Ivor is a bit...hairy, and she likes to brush her palms when she is chatting...very offputting..

(Its all this sea air isn't it Ivor )

tortoise · 15/03/2007 14:57

Hi all.
Luda you made me Lol again!
Not got a lot done here today (that will make a change)

Took DD1 to pre-school and then went to town with DD2.
Got home and did a quick tidy round and hoover before picking DD1 up again.
Then took them to contact with their Dad.
Came home ready for CAB lady to come to discuss bankrupsy for all my debts which i can't afford to pay back. All very scary but i need to get them sorted.
Then made two batches of choc chip flapjacks. One for us and one for DS1 to take to school tomorrow for red nose day!
DD's will be back in half hour so am going to veg out for a bit.

Luda Hope migranes get sorted.
EHM Hope DD is less snotty soon.
And sorry to anyone ive missed! Hello!
Oh welcome back LL.

tortoise · 15/03/2007 15:09

I guess i should add that wind had gone this morning until i ate breakfast. Bought wind settler things in chemist this morning and it finally seems to of gone again now. Was bloody painful earlier though! And i haven't managed to expel it its just gone!

Home, DS falls asleep

tortoise · 15/03/2007 16:33

It is isn't it EHM! I didn't really want to spend that much but the cheaper one won't fit in their room.

That sounds positive GO. Glad it went well,

satinshoes · 15/03/2007 17:57

hi all, no flying done as dd2 still poorly.

wtf was that mission this morning???

Lazylou · 15/03/2007 18:03

Hello everyone! Wow, I felt quite emotional reading all the welcomes, just kind of hits home how much I've missed all this!

Anyway, not a very productive day. Apart from the things I did earlier, I have done very little else. Mum popped round with a bathroom storage thing which we built (took hours lol) but it is up now and looking good. Just about to start dinner, wash up, get washing in and start studying.

Will catch up with everyone tomorrow, so have a nice evening all!

shouldbedoingthehousework · 15/03/2007 18:04

satin sorry to hear dd is still poorly {{{hugs}}} to her (and you!)

Kids are fed and happy - lots of time in the (chilly) garden this afternoon and not a hint of FLYing - supper remains are still on the table ...dh just got home, saw how tired I look and is playing with the kids for 1/2 hour downstairs while I have some time out (time out = MN )
Off for a bath once stories have been read and lo's are tucked up and poss an early night again..need to shake this flu-y bug...

shouldbedoingthehousework · 15/03/2007 18:05

Never did remember to say it - welcome back lazylou

tortoise · 15/03/2007 19:54

Satin i hope DD is better soon.

Help needed here !! you get to see me!

Mhamai · 15/03/2007 20:20

Welcome back lazylou, well I only managed to do the basics as I didn't get home till 5.30 and tbh I'm shattered, I think my hayfever is kicking off as I've had itchy nose syndrome all day. Anyhoo see you all tomorrow. x

ps
I bought a new mop today and felt strangely excited!
