Don't you just love kelly ? She thinks I have more than one bathroom anda laundry room!

Oddly for me, I cleaned the back of the toilet this week after listening to friends who all seem to clean the pipes behind their toilets every day...the joy of having sons I think.

Good morning aufish. We are back to school today, too.

I haven't done a list yet, but whenever anyone sees me please remind me to make dd1s bed.(She slept on it last night with no cover)

Londonmamma · 16/04/2007 08:22

Morning all. Shouldn't be on here as I'm going away for a week in an hour's time, but I'm now addicted to Fly as well as MN in general! Definitely know the one about boys and toilets. Also, I feel good that I've had a right proper clear-out this w/e as she says you can't organise clutter, only get rid of it.

Hope you all have a great week, I'll be thinking of you xx

I was up at 5.30am and hung out two loads of washing.

Beat that!

Then got DTS up, got them ready and they were in nursery at 0740. I'm now at work having a rest!

This evening I will do the ironing after putting DTS to bed.

ludaloo · 16/04/2007 09:21

Aufish up nice and early, thanks for starting the thread today

Jelley I don't have a laundry room either!!
And as for the mission....[smug emoticon comming up] I have sparkling toilets!!! I did it yesterday

babies good luck today, I relapse when DH is around too! (not that he ever is )

londonmamma If I'm not too late HAVE A GOOD WEEK

EHM I didn't use DH's toothbrush don't worry...(highly tempted though )
Have a fab day, and enjoy your bob about in the pool

I just need to have a general clean this morning while there are 2 children out of the house. DD2 is quite happy to potter about so I shall get stuck in. I then have to go into town to run a few errands for DH.

Have a good day all

shouldbe · 16/04/2007 09:27

Thanks for the messages re our kitten I hope he's home soon too the kids are missing him already. I expect he's got himself shut in somewhere so I'll have to get dd to make up some posters...
Not going to the farm just yet cos some friends have rung to say they're passing through our village this morning and would like to call in Might try to do the farm later though if there's time.

Jelley Have you done dd's bed yet?
Londonmama have a great time away
EHM have a nice swim - I used to take dd every week as a baby - lovely
Luda enjoy the peace! I've enjoyed the holidays (mostly!) and am a little to be sending the lo's back to school tomorrow but have to say it'll be great to have some peace

I have a utility room - is that the same as a laundry room?...starting to think we have too many rooms...

rubbish out
recycling sorted
bills paid
post sorted
bed made

to do:

scrub hob

Well i have a huge clean washing mountain to put away. My worst job! Don't want to do it but have to! So someone give me a kick up the rear end please!

Also need to phone sol to find out what time for court Wednesday. Its suddenly so close to hopefully ending. I can't wait but am feeling nervous already.

And need to pop to the shops for basic bits plus stuff for DD1's lunch box for pre-school tomorrow.

And would like to make some flapjacks!

AnAngelWithin · 16/04/2007 09:43

I have got to make my bed (kids already done) have a bath and wash my hair, tidy the kitchen up, sweep and mop downstairs. THen take the dog for a walk. Then I am off out for dinner with a friend. This afternoon i have got to make a shopping list for later. I can't do any washing as I have run out of washing powder!!

done so far: got kids dressed and fed. Washed breakfast dishes. MN a bit! lol

tortoise · 16/04/2007 09:45

AnAngetWithin Im out of washing powder too! Might not have money for any until Tuesday though.

ludaloo · 16/04/2007 09:47

tort I have to put piles of washing away too....so a boot in the butt for us both!!!!

BB Morning Hope the decorators turn up...and they don't block the street too much. You are very thoughtful. I'd like to bake today too if I get a chance.

I have dusted the living room
Put another load of washing on
Put a load in the tumble dryer

Might do a quick vac of the stairs, they are looking a bit mucky

ludaloo · 16/04/2007 09:49

Kitten has just come home He's in a bad way though, limping with very nasy scratches on his leg and face will have to take him to the vet but they can't see him till tea-time...

glitterfairy · 16/04/2007 10:13

Morning luda and tort am having a good day here lots of work and life jobs done but no real flying as yet so am going to get a move on.

shouldbe I am so glad your kitten is back and hope all is fine at the vets. It seems a little mean that they wont see him till tea time though.

Enjoy the swim EHM I am cycling to the pool later.

tortoise · 16/04/2007 10:15

Awww shouldbe. Glad he is home and hope all is ok when the vet sees him. Poor pussy!

ludaloo · 16/04/2007 10:16

Hi Yaddah*

Well washing is away, and D/W emptied.

tortoise · 16/04/2007 10:17
