Morning jelley hope you enjoyed the tower of london? Have a good day, enjoy swimming.

We have Baby Signing at 10.45 must get on.

Have a good day all.

ludaloo · 04/04/2007 08:24

Morning Jelley have a good swim

Morning EHM have a good Baby Signing!

Morning to All

I have to try and get DD2 to the doctors today, she has woken up with sticky eyes ....She always gets this after colds. Her cough hasn't shaken off either, so I shall get her looked at.

Apart from that, we are at home today, the sun has come out already so hopefully it might be nice today.

I don't have a list really, just a general clean up. I'd like to take the fire apart and clean it out while the weather is warmer, we haven't had to have it on lately.

I have promised the kids we will make Cress Heads too!

Jelley · 04/04/2007 08:41

I'm not swimming It's a heavily supervised kids session. I can't take them as I'm not allowed on my own with three, so they only really get to go when it is the holidays and I book them in to this one.

Morning Everyone Jelley So did you enjoy the Tower?
EHM enjoy your baby signing - I am starting after Easter and I'm looking forward to it.
Luda Hope your poor DD is OK My DS gets sticky eye a lot too

I can't believe this but DS is still asleep with DH..last night I slept in the spare room as I haven't had a decent night sleep in weeks. And we gave DS Medised because he was knackered and had a temperature (think he has my cold on top of the teething) - it's the first time we've used it. I am desperate to check if he's OK but don't want to wake him.

Must get loads of housework done today because we have guests coming on Friday for the weekend. We'll see

Have a good day,
nut

Taylormamaloveslindtbunnies · 04/04/2007 09:04

hello all - feeling very rough as finally got the chesty virus thing that DH and DS have had ... may tackle some of the mission later - also have three loads of washing and drying to do

Will pop back later ...

shouldbe · 04/04/2007 09:07

Good Morning everyone

Still quite cloudy here but not raining yet so hoping to put the kids out to play for a bit this morning while I catch up with the house again...did quite a lot yesterday so not too much to do to today - just want to keep ahead of the mess the lo's create over the hols, no point in try to do any more than that....
I have a desperatly needed haircut this morning, my fringe is starting to cover my glasses. I have a hairdresser who comes to the house so I'll have to hoover and mop the floors afterwards. Then we have some friends coming to play this afternoon

~make beds
~quick tidy upstairs
~s&s bathroom (dd to help)
~s&s cloakroom (dd to help)
~quick tidy downstairs
~quick blitz on utility room
~baking. Luda, tort Does anyone have the choccy version of LDC? Might give it a go with the kids this morning.
~hoover and mop after haircut
~take car seat to a friend who needs to borrow one for the day
~gardening?....must plant new plants...

That'll do - also have the usual wm/td/dw stuff going on..
Have a good day, see you later x

shouldbe · 04/04/2007 09:09

NUT I'm sure ds is fine but {{{hugs}}} to you and him, it's so tough when they're poorly.
TM Hope you feel better soon too

ludaloo · 04/04/2007 09:30

shouldbe Choc Alternative:

Leave out the Lemons and add 2 tblsp cocoa powder and a little extra milk.
Add 200g bar of plain choc - chopped.
Bake same as lemon cake

Choc Syrup

2 tsp cocoa
250 ml water (maybe a little less)
200g caster sugar

Put all ingredients into a pan for about 5 mins...or until it has reduced to a syrup.
Prick the cake once cooled and pour syrup over the top.

I've never actually tried it though...let me know if it is nice

shouldbe · 04/04/2007 09:37

sounds yummy, thanks Luda - will need to get some choc though...just hope there's time - we're all still in our PJ's atm!

ludaloo · 04/04/2007 10:02

Wow @the list EHM

Everyone who asked - yes we had a lovely day out at the Tower. The sun shone, the kids behaved, and went to sleep as soon as they got back

I've done not much at all yet. DDs are at swimming. I've shopped, and arranged to go out for lunch. I have to pick them up at 11, so I'm going to give ds some snacks to keep him occupied and get started on something...

OP posts:
shouldbe · 04/04/2007 10:43

at your list EHM - good luck with it!

grouchyoscar · 04/04/2007 10:59

A very good sunny morning to ALL

The sun is shining and I feel AOK.

Done a bit of flying, Sorting DS out and taking him to school, emptying DW and putting away, sorting out bins for ruubbish and recyelables, phone and online banking, vaccing front room and pegging laundry out.

Just enjoying my MN time now

Enjoy the sunshine (if you have some for you if not)

shouldbe · 04/04/2007 11:02

SimplySparkling I have emailed you

EHM · 04/04/2007 12:34

jelley enjoy your lunch out. Thanks to you & shouldbe I will admit that I had help this morning. Dh went into work at 750 so he had Ellie for about an hour which allowed me to shower, bathroom & do the stuff upstairs.

Anyway just back from Baby Signing last class until end of the month. I am off to give Ellie her Pumpkin & Chicken. Then I'll have a quick bite.

Will cath up later. Hi grouchy

ludaloo · 04/04/2007 13:41

grouchyoscar · 04/04/2007 14:39

Hey EHM how's you and Ellie?

Had 3 solid hours where DS has had my undivided attention. He explored the cellar while I cleaned out the cat litter ran ragged round the garden and trashed the contents of the porch but it needed tidying anyway. We also planted some carrot seeds for his veg garden. His little gems have sprouted all ready.

But as my legs started to give up and he wanted to disturb the other neighbours I thought, 'Get him in' ...he's sleepy anyway.

Got a pile of laundry to put away and, errrh, that's it tbh. I will not push myself any further.

It's a lovely day in West Yorks (thankfully) shame we're hiding indoors tbh, Ah well

Taylormamaloveslindtbunnies · 04/04/2007 14:49
