Hello

Up bright and early as the sun is shining and it looks like another nice day today! I'm with you tort I love the sunny days too

Well I do have to catch up on the housework, and I have promised the kids they can make some Easter Biccies, so shall be doing that at some point too.

Will be back with a list, although might try to keep it short as I want to be out in the sun today too!

Have a good weekend and shouldbe hope you manage to put your feet up and spend some time with DH too, while you have the chance

Big list there to get through! Have fun at the Market, I heard someone talking about it yesterday, so I think it is on (don't quote me on that though!)

~Unloaded/Reloaded DW
~Hung a load of washing out

Ahhh - it's so lovely to sit here and read your lists Luda and Simply and be able to that I have nothing to do My brother and SIL are so into their computers that it's very difficult to resist logging on here for long - lol! They don't see the appeal of MN at all though....

Kids have been up since early so we're pretty much ready to do something with the day - not sure what though - we would go to the coast but I suspect it'll be quite busy so we may just stay around in db's garden for another day

that your dh is working Luda - you know where we are if you fancy doing something again today I hope you get some family time tomorrow

yaddayah · 07/04/2007 11:37

Hi all
Lots to do .. but i'm sitting on MN !

ds STILL a bit off colour (we did manage to go out on Thursday night though)so having a day in, going to attempt the ironing pile, and hoover, dh and dc's in the garden potting up stuff (ok dd is shovelling gravel into her bucket .. but hey ?)

I can imagine just how lovely it is shouldbe! Thank you too (its nice to know you'd have us back )but as tempting as it sounds, I really have to do some washing, and tidy this place up. Happily, we are all going out tommorrow, so I had better get on top of the house today before we go .

The kids are all out playing in the garden, so I shouldbe able to get on

Everyone must be out enjoying the sunshine today!!

Oh...and my book has arrived
"How To Be The Perfect Housewife" It is very detailed!!! Will take ages to get through!!! I'll let you know if there are any good tips!!

A quick post as I must crack on.

Hi luda and yadda and shouldbe. The Farmers' Market was on today luda and I got some nice things there. Some farmhouse cheese for dh. A jar of Welsh honey. A chicken dinner pie (much nicer than it sounds) which I've just had for lunch. Some more really nice chocolate from the same people as dh got my Mothering Sunday gift from. Some veg for the next 2 weeks. And that is it. Town was very busy. The park and ride was very full when we were leaving around noon. I'm glad we went in when we did. The library was shut though and is until Tues. I'll check to see if dh can renew his book online, he usually can.

Right. I've looked at the list I did earlier and most of it is still waiting to be done. See you all later.

tortoise · 07/04/2007 18:09

Hi all.
Had a lovely day here today. Couple more hours of digging done and lots of playing with dc.

Hello to all. I'm afraid dd and I had a quiet afternoon yesterday and now I need to catch up! Today I hope to go to church this morning and then later finish the things still on the list from yesterday.

To do:-
~ get showered and dressed
~ find out time of service and go
~ finish going through outgrown children's clothes
~ get the washing in from the line
~ finish sorting out the spare bedroom
~ put the out of season clothing/duvets in the space saver bags

Off to get cracking now.

Happy Easter everyone

SimplySparkling · 08/04/2007 08:20

Yes, and to you too glassslipper.

shouldbe · 08/04/2007 08:25

Good morning and Happy Easter

Db and dh have gone mountain biking (- dh hasn't ridden a bike for the last 3 years), SIL is heading out swimming soon and so the lo's and I are going to have a long soak in the spa bath db has

No chocs yet - we're waiting till everyone is home. Then having a BBQ at lunchtime - another beautiful day here

glitterfairy · 08/04/2007 08:25

Happy Easter everyone and I am back from my travels at Beetys house.

Luckily because of my huge amount of dedication and flying before I went it is pretty tidy and I am half way through my mountian of washing.

Today I am resting a little ready for a week of sorting and decluttering.

SimplySparkling · 08/04/2007 11:22

Hi shouldbe. How far away from where you are is the place they've gone biking? Up my way or another hour north on top of that? Or somewhere else completely? Have a lovely day one and all.

Well done on being able to take today easy after previous efforts glitterfairy. How is beety? I haven't seen her on the FLY threads for a while, though I often miss a few days at a time so perhaps we've missed each other that way.

Well, we've been to church. Now I'm going to get changed and sort out the kitchen and then lunch. I've a lot to do before going away for a few days tomorrow.

shouldbe · 08/04/2007 11:30

I think they've gone about 1/2 hour away to bike simply - no idea in which direction though lol!
The lo's and I are enjoying some time in the garden - Ive been trying to read a magazine and they are pestering me to play ...I'm suprised by how difficult I'm finding it to relax and just do nothing - I keep thinking I shouldbe doing something else

tortoise · 08/04/2007 13:52

Happy Easter FLYers.

Quite a quiet day here.

Its DS1's birthday today. Can't believe he is 10 already!

Have been for a nice walk to the shops with DD's.
Cleaned bathroom top to bottom!
Cleaned Kitchen tops etc just floor to do.
Next job is front room!

I am totally fed up with mess and junk piling up! DD's are having fun outside so i am able to get on with things.

Hope everyone is having a good Easter Sunday.

Shouldbe Hope DH is ok after the bike ride!

tortoise · 08/04/2007 16:03

Well for 5mins the downstaris of my house looks quite tidy! And the rabbit and guinea pig have been cleaned out!

DD's are still enjoying playing in the garden. Another early night for them.

glitterfairy · 08/04/2007 16:20

Beety is really well simply . We have been to my dads and had a bike ride there and back. I have eaten only a little chocolate and some cheese.

I have done two loads of washing and some washing up but nothing more today.

Mhamai · 08/04/2007 17:00

Happy Easter to all the flyers.
I have done nothing as I've just stuffed my face with eggs all day and can't move! I'm going to soak in the bath for a bit, so hopefully will be a bit more energised after it.

SimplySparkling · 08/04/2007 19:03

shouldbe Was it BNyA? How did they enjoy it? I hope you've had a lovely day, you deserve it.

glitterfairy I hope you don't mean that you haven't eaten a proper meal today else I'll have to tell you off!

Hi tort and Mhamai.

Well, I've done some ironing but haven't packed so I'll get on and do that I think.

EHM · 08/04/2007 20:30

Evening Everybody

tortoise · 08/04/2007 20:31

Happy Easter EHM. Hope you had a good time.

SimplySparkling · 08/04/2007 21:18

Hi EHM. Happy Easter to you, too.

Well, I'm half packed. I need a couple of pairs of jeans so I'm going to iron a bit more now. I'll see you all at the end of the week. Have a good one!
