Ba'ax ka wa'alik

Thats hello in Mayan

My new goal is to learn something every day !

Guess what i've been doing ?

A big fat rasberry to all those who shouted housework !

i've been out and about with dd, went to a cafe, bought some (more) new clothes and i'm still on that lovely endorphin rush

Wahey !

You've all been very busy and i now feel very ashamed of myself

"Remember nothing says I Love You more, than taking the time to FLY!"

(Kelly has gone ga ga)

Aufish · 20/04/2007 13:32

Babyonboard have you got a deathwish? Going after Cod, Rhubarb and Co? Brave lady! I tried that once and they all came after me with pitchforks!

babyonboard · 20/04/2007 13:37

He he. strange how defensive people can be. It was meant as a joke ffs, and far less inflammatory than some of the things I read on here!
Ho Hum

Aufish · 20/04/2007 13:40

I know, but it does seem to be the moment you mention any of those names and they are on your back! It's just so funny sometimes. Anyway hun, it made me laugh after the morning I've had.

grouchyoscar · 20/04/2007 13:44

Afternoon ALL and a big Hey to any NEWBIES

Been FLYing a fair bit, just got to make pizza sauce and garlic butter today now.

Been to get compost for the garden

Feeling a tad woolly round the edges today. I think it's cos the sun's gone in TBH. Feel bad as I wanted to take DS on a Public transport frenzy (double decker bus and local train) but I really don't feel up to it. Ho hum huh

I hope every one (and their DCs) have had a fab day.

Love
Grouchy O

ooooh babiesonboard your a braver woman than me to take on the MN Cliche!!!

Hi to All I have done well on the walking front, but now have to drive to the next village to get Electric (There is no way I walk that far!!)

DD1 has come home in a foul mood and is being mean to DD2 and winding DS up! She is as good as gold for the majority of the Hols...1 week back at school and she's EVIL!!

Right better go and get on, see you all in a bit xx

SimplySparkling · 20/04/2007 16:27

Hello to all. The children have just come back home from school so I've read the thread but haven't taken it in due to ds telling me that options choices are no more than pot luck due to a new system (I really hope he has got it wrong) and dd doing an impression of someone in school singing and dancing.

Still two things left on my list. Will do the phone call again in a mo. See you all later or perhaps tomorrow.

babyonboard · 20/04/2007 16:35

Well i got a good and proper telling off, for my admittedly inappropraite btching there.
On the plus side I've done most of my to-dos's for today and got some bargain green and blacks easter eggs (40p each in sainsburys) some good steaks and a nice bottle of white wine for tonight.
Hope to clean the inside windows, do two more loads of laundry and locate my camera cable (which has been lost for weeks) before the end of the day.
good luck ladies!

shouldbe · 20/04/2007 17:09

Aufish · 20/04/2007 17:17

Well am back again.

Done everything on my list except for sorting out the clothes for tomorrow's big visit. My mother is very very picky about everything and I have been planning this all week. If the kids are not dressed smartly then she's going to pick at me for the whole of the 2 hours. Not looking forward to it to be honest. I doubt I will be on here tomorrow as I will slowly be working myself up. Haven't seen her in 2 and half years and she terrifies me. Please wishes me lots of luck for the visit.

shouldbe · 20/04/2007 18:31

Good Luck Aufish hope tomorrow goes OK x

Jelley · 20/04/2007 19:34

Good luck Aufish Aeyho - I liked your old name, too (once I'd searched two days threads to finsd out who you are!)

I've been out all day, so not much done today.

yaddayah · 20/04/2007 19:54

Good luck Aufish. Hope it goes well.

We have had a good evening. Finally burnt the pile of boxes from by the back door! They have been there since xmas . Can now use the back door again!

I need to tidy kitchen before the morning. Getting tired already. I think i am going to need to start going to bed earlier with all the morning school runs coming up!
Just bought a fab looking new lunch box for DS2 from Ebay.

Have a good evening all.

Aeyho · 20/04/2007 21:08
