Well, I'm up and starting this off for the day, though will not be doing much today as I have a good friend over for most of the day. So just the basics for me today. Happy Flying ladies!

Luda I meet you off the train if you come to the picnic & I can take you on the underground
yadd Get well soon{hugs} did pmsl @ Shaun of the dead comment.
Mhamai Well done you defending the fly lady. Do you really own a pair of shades like Bono? I do hope you are not his sister as I own a TShirt quoting 'Bono is a Twat' A very talented singer I may add
stacey have you eaten all the LDC yet?
londonMama Why are you undecided about the picnic?
mummy2ashton hope you get the rooms sorted.

shouldbe · 24/04/2007 12:06

Luda - couldn't have put it better myself

shouldbe · 24/04/2007 12:09

Well, my bedroom is much improved I have cheated and just shoved clothes in the wardrobe (will need to neaten them up later or another day) but at least the room looks better and I feel when I walk in.
The spare room has some boxes of clutter back in but isn't as bad as it was - I'll return to it another day too
Going to have lunch next and then collect ds.

ludaloo · 24/04/2007 12:12

Ahhh well done shouldbe its nice to walk into a tidy bedroom...calms the mind

EHM · 24/04/2007 12:13

tort sorry just seen your post about scan. Is there a friend that could either go with you to watch dd's during your appointment, or watch dd's for you?

Mhamai · 24/04/2007 12:15

tortoise I'd come and sit for you if I was near. Hope you sort something out.

ludaloo Bloomin take my hat off to you woman, one very intelligent articulate post there!!!!!

shouldbe
Ah, a woman after my own heart re shoving clothes places.

Ok folks, gotta go, off to see my counsellor, she lives on the far side of Dublin so won't be home till this evening, anyhoo happy flying everyone.

Mhamai · 24/04/2007 12:17

Ooh EHM no I'm not Bono's sister and no I don't have fly shades and yes I agree with the twat sentiment!

ludaloo · 24/04/2007 12:18

BabiesEverywhere · 24/04/2007 12:27

tortoise · 24/04/2007 13:11

Thanks BabiesEverywhere. I am not if i have them yet or not but the attacks are very painful. But i am normally ok by the next day. Seems to be ok as long as i don't eat lots of fatty stuff. Which has helped me lose some weight! Lots to go though!
Hope you hear about your op soon.

Kitchen is tidy again now.dw loaded,floor swept,wm on.

Still need to do front room! And its lunch time already!

tortoise · 24/04/2007 13:12

glitterfairy · 24/04/2007 13:19

Hello everyone not much being done here today as I am having a trek and a half chasing kids around who have left everything, in between trying to wash up and get washing done and a podcast.

Where is this thread? I will chase it as it sounds funny.

rollonsummerholidays · 24/04/2007 13:20

Feel much better now just exhausted and when you're tired everything seems ten times worse. plus i am self-employed and no work means no money. but hey if your wee ones poorly all they want is their mummy and I would do no good for worrrying about her anyway.

dr has given her some antibiotic and says ok to send her to school tomorrow if she feels p to it and then bring her back fri to make sure it has all cleared up.

You are all so lovely and supportive on here. I'llnever be off mumsnet when he goes.

londonmamma/ehm/tort/mhami no it is not his first away. christmas before last he was in afhanistan he has missed d/d 1st and 3rd birthday with being a way. and this time d/d birthday is week-end before he goes. he will miss d/d number 2 4th birhtday in july.

but enough sads and feeling sorry for myself.

to do:
kitchen
put ironing away
do some more
load of washing
make beds
mission mission impossible the amount of kit and we would need a room to house all is kit.
make a nice dinner for tonight. any ideas?

rollon it sounds like you are being very strong though.

tort I had my gallbladder removed years ago now and before kids. Once out I ahd no more problems! Hurrah. Hope the scan is ok. They didnt find mine until I turned yellow.

Have found thread now and posted in my spare moments after lunch whilst twiddling my fingers and wondering what to do next!

yaddayah · 24/04/2007 13:33

ludaloo · 24/04/2007 13:38
