Hi All

tort hope it all went well!! Your boys must be over the moon

EHM YAY!!!! SAHM's rock!!!!!

I have walked everywhere today!! Walked DD1 to school, walked home, walked to toddler group, walked home, walked to get DD1, walked home again!! I ache now I'm not very fit. (In my defense though, DD1's school is half way up a very big hill, and I have to hump DD2 up it in the pushchair too.)

I haven't done much FLYing again today...The house doesn't look like it is suffering too much though. Will catch up at the weekend.

ludaloo · 19/04/2007 17:24

oh...by the way, the sunflowers have perked up slightly, but their leaves have gone mushy (a bit like lettuce goes if it freezes then defrosts) I'm hoping they will pull through. The tallest one is about 2ft....I have had to tie them up though to keep them from flopping over

SimplySparkling · 19/04/2007 17:24

Hello all. EHM I'll have a piece of plum and almond cake too, please! So glad to hear that you're happy with your work decision.

I've had a good day.
Done:-
~ put the bin out
~ unload, reload and put on d/w
~ put a load in w/m
~ ring school and find out if uniform is changing or not
~ meet up with friend to give her a gift - arranged for tomorrow
~ walk the dog
~ get showered and dressed
~ mopped the kitchen, utility room and downstairs loo floors after hoovering them
~ cleaned and used wood restorer on all the lower kitchen cupboards, kitchen table and chairs
~ 3 loads of washing
~ d/w loaded and unloaded
I am feeling chuffed with having done a good deal today.

shouldbe We're having an easy tea tonight as dh has to eat out with work. I didn't know about it until 4pm but hadn't actually started making tea so it's not too much of a nuisance. Actually, I'd better check to see if he has a smart casual shirt ready.
Aufish Ds missed half of an after school activity yesterday. I was really cross with myself because I had it written in my diary but not on the calendar or on Outlook on the PC. I'd had time to spare at lunch in work yesterday too and I should have checked my diary then and then I'd have remembered! Lesson learnt.
rolloneaster Do you like season names or would you like to keep the roll bit and change the rest?
luda I do have one of those net bag things if you want me to post it.

Right. Must go and check on that shirt. See you later or tomorrow.

ludaloo · 19/04/2007 17:34

Simply You are very thoughtful! I will have a good hunt for it...it's most likely in the tumble dryer...I suspect one of the kids has found it I shall be buying another box tommorrow anyway, so that'll have one in it no doubt. (thank you though )

shouldbe · 19/04/2007 17:36

Well done Luda It's a mile downhill to ds's pre-school but of course that means a mile uphill home - not easy with ds on the back on my bike! I'm hoping to do it at least once a day on the bike and get fitter.
And well done Simply too - a completed list Top marks
stacey have meant to say hello all day but keep forgetting Hope all is OK with you and the lo's

Kids bath is running here - can't wait till bedtime, ds has been in a grump all afternoon (and dd hasn't been much better!) Dh is still out and I can't get him on his mobile so have no idea when he'll be home, then he'll have office work to do

Have a good eve all
(tort in case I'm not back on MSN once you're home, I hope all went well with xp1 and the boys )

I have done loads of walking today and am tired now.

Stacy Yes you were having swim nappy off me.

EHM Thats great. SAHM is the best job in the world!

yaddayah · 19/04/2007 17:54

many congrats ehm on new "life"
a hearty backslap for simply and nut for completing her list
a to luda for her perking up 2ft sunflowers
a consoling nevermind and a semi patronising try again tommorrow dearie for jelley .. am thinking of taking a bet on wether you will ever repot those tomato seedlings !!
a quick cheery wave to everyone else as dc's are being .. sigh .. tiresome and wanting some attention from me

tsk

yaddayah · 19/04/2007 17:55

a double quick yay for tort

staceym11 · 19/04/2007 17:56

tort glad the boys are happy!!

email me on [email protected] about the swim nappy......sorry been so long i completely forgot about it!!

well just brought washing in and shoved in dryer for half hour as sun isnt on it any mroe and its right outside my downstairs neighbors window so she doesnt need it there all evening (esp as she smokes out the window, and i know she wouldnt as the washing is there, and it makes me feel bad to resrict what she can do in her own house!)

need to get cracking i nthe kitchen but just cant motivate myself! might start on dds room instead!

tortoise · 19/04/2007 18:01

OK Will do stacey.

Lol Yaddah.

glassslipper · 19/04/2007 18:11

yay EHM

Yay TORT

what a happy day no housework done

Aufish · 19/04/2007 18:24

Can I second the hurrays for Tort and EHM

glitterfairy · 19/04/2007 18:53

EHM glad you are doing what it is you want to do in life. I was a SAHM for 6 years and whilst they were hard work with three under five I am glad I did it.

Have done b*er all today and will probably not do too much tomorrow either in preparation for my race. Will do the mission though as otherwise will feel slovenly.

Aeyho · 19/04/2007 19:37

Hello

Wanted a bit of a name change.... absolutely couldn't think of one, until Dh said the exact words to me when he saw the nice clean house!!!
(Anthea eat your heart out)

Hope I don't confuse everyone, but was getting bored!!

(was ludaloo)

Aufish · 19/04/2007 19:40

Hello Aeyho was wondering who it was until I read the bottom. This is why the other half calls me goldfish!

Aeyho · 19/04/2007 19:41
Grin
tortoise · 19/04/2007 19:46

Lol Aeyho! Good name.

Aeyho · 19/04/2007 19:52

Why thank you! was thinking about a name change for a while but couldn't think of one! Then DH pays a rare compliment, and I thought...hmmmmm!!! It kind of sounds a bit like Heyho too which is what I find myself saying a lot too!!
