shouldbe · 12/04/2007 14:12

lol Luda, I'm the opposite and really feel like getting on - another reason for resenting the party! Could get sooo much more done if only the parents were happy for ds to be left (dd not invited but has to come cos I have to stay)... Never mind.
Aufish good news on the wm

shouldbe · 12/04/2007 14:13

.....haven't even managed to buy sunflower seeds let alone plant them ...

tortoise · 12/04/2007 14:16

Hi all.
Im ok thanks jelley. Still getting occational twinges.
I have read the thread but mind has gone blank! I am as usual wasting my few hours peace while DD's are at contact! But i must get to town. I have 1hr 15 mins before they get home. Bugger! I better get moving

Shouldbe- hope to catch you later msn kept shutting down. Hope party goes ok.

tortoise · 12/04/2007 14:17

Oh there you are shouldbe! See you later.

I have seeds from previous years! Not sure how well they will grow though!

ludaloo · 12/04/2007 14:24

I'm still sat here..... I shouldbe () tidying upstairs.... aghhhhh I'm soooo weak!! LOL!!

ludaloo · 12/04/2007 14:35

Lol!! I really have to go...I'm too weak to even read the threads on the active convos!!
I'm going to go and do some breathing excercises.....I watched Trinny/Suzanna (don't know which is which) doing them on that Celebrity Red Nose version of .... oh ...whats it called... the one with Alan Sugar?? (is that his name???) LOL!! Is anyone still with me?? lol!!!!
Breathing excercises anyway...to wake me up

Ho Hum!!!

ludaloo · 12/04/2007 14:36

......or I could just drink lots of coke....

shouldbe · 12/04/2007 14:50

Just about to leave for the party - dd has been writing the card and in the meantime ds has fallen into a deep sleep on the sofa! Just can't wake him....and I'm feeling sooo ill now it's unbelievable with myself for getting worked up about what will probably be a nice way to spend an afternoon....
Tort catch you later

tortoise · 12/04/2007 15:27

Back from town with 15 mins to spare . Shopping now put away and i really should use this last few minute to put some washing away. Its piled on my bed.

Luda Hope you find some energy!
Aufish Glad the machine is sorted.
Glasss We have almost the same play house as that. DD's love it in the summer. I'd love a bigger one!
Shouldbe ((( hugs ))) i am sure it will be fine.

ludaloo · 12/04/2007 16:22

the coke did the trick.

Have now completed my list, and done a few extra bits inbetween.

Tonight is the first night all 3 kids can sleep in their own beds !! YIPPEE!! DD2 is now in the same room as DD1, DS is in his own room (with a put up bed until his new bed arrives) And...DH and I have our bed back!! I took the cot down yesterday and took it to a friends who's sister is pregnant, and is having our cot.
I actually felt quite sad as it went....but sadness was closely followed by happiness at the thought of not having a child in my bed...or in our room. I can sit and read...and DH and I can get reaquainted

Ok...who's gonna have the first bet that I'm up and down all night settling DD2, and DS Hopefully that phase won't last too long

tortoise · 12/04/2007 16:54

yay! Thats great Luda. Expect a few nights of escaping from the bed! My DD1 still sneaks in with me. Even though i threatened to give her new bed to dd2 who nearly always sleeps through the night!

ludaloo · 12/04/2007 17:07

Hmmm....I am sure there will be several attempts to escape, I have a plan to not let anyone get in with us, and to get them back into their own beds. As a rule DD1 and DS sleep through....DD1 very rarely wakes TBH.

I don't want to get into DD2's bed either, I made that mistake with DD1. I have a strategically placed bean bag next to her bed instead

At the moment I have to lie on my bed (next to the cot) to get her to sleep, but I'm sick of doing it as I very rarely stay awake!!! and if I do, I feel shattered. The plan tonight is to sit on the bean bag next to her and hope she goes to sleep!!

We'll have to see how it goes!!

tortoise · 12/04/2007 17:08

Good luck luda!! Hope the beanbag idea works.

ludaloo · 12/04/2007 17:13

thanks tort

yaddayah · 12/04/2007 17:32

glitter carrot juice and millet porridge.. mmmm how errrr delicious !!

luda hope the sleeping goes ok tonight

cheery wave to everyone else

aufish i said the pump does that mean i'm the queen of housekeeping ?? [overexcited emoticon]

Sadly looking at my done list i very much doubt it !!

The uswal DW/WM routine done
Ironing pile (will do this in the evening as DH is away again ) to do
Sainsburys delivery/put away done
PO to post the card i should have done yesterday bugger
Change bedding in spare room currently drying
Clear dh's paperwork into one pile rather than 12 eerr nope
General dust doh
Hoover dining room double doh
Water sunflower seeds yippee did this

Well, what i did do, was sit in the garden who dropped in unexpectly and watch the dc's run around while drinking tea and gossiping

Oh well looks like i'm in for a busy night

shouldbe · 12/04/2007 17:38

Hello again Back from the party - it was fine (obviously - it's just me that's soooo stupid ) The lo's had fun and are now playing the the garden with the bubbles they got in their party bags No supper required for them cos they're nice and full of party tea so I'm planning some winding down in front of bedtime hour and hopefully a peaceful bedtime

Luda hope the beanbag idea works It is a huge relief when they move out of the main bedroom - ds hasn't been into our room before 6am since he got his new bed so that's been a huge improvement for us

shouldbe · 12/04/2007 17:39

lol at your list yadda, sounds as though you had a good afternoon anyway

tortoise · 12/04/2007 17:40

Lol@Yaddah!

Shouldbe Glad the party was fine.

shouldbe · 12/04/2007 17:41

oh - hello tort

tortoise · 12/04/2007 17:44

Hello shouldbe

shouldbe · 12/04/2007 17:45

just when I was feeling like it was time to relax I've remembered I haven't made up all the beds again yet after washing all the bedding this morning (this is another job I hate, although I do love getting into a clean bed.....)

tortoise · 12/04/2007 17:47

Oh dear! I often do that. Normally with my bed! I don't mind making them though.

glitterfairy · 12/04/2007 17:50

OK all list done except the article and of course the office stuff dont know why that would be then? LOL

Have also hoovered the stairs and all kids rooms
Hoovered under my bed! At last
