mission

Morning aufish

Ds has his mmr due this morning, so I'll be doing that first thing after school run. Not sure what else I have planned for today yet (apart from the old Brownies/Rainbows thing this evening.)

I'll go and do breakfast, then come back if I have time before school

3)tidy living room 4) toilets 5)internet research (that's not an excuse to do MN!!)

Have a good morning.

Thanks everyone doctor was complete waste of time. He agreed it looked like chickenpox but said it couldnt be because she had had it before. I gently pointed out that people do get it twice! He then said it could be viral, or perhaps bacterial and gave me a prescription for antibiotics just in case. He has obviously covered every eventuality and left me to diagnose it myself!

She is fine a bit itchy but otherwise ok and watchign useless tv very happily! I asked about school and he asked dd whether she woudl like to stay at home with me or go to school durrrrrr guess what she said?

yaddayah · 25/04/2007 09:39

Today Matthew I'm going to be.. Toyah Wilcox !!

Morning Ladies

I haven't done anything very productive yet today....DS's bed arrived just as I was putting the kids in the car to take them to school and nursery. DH was also on his way out, so he waited to see the men in and I carried on with the school run.
Got back and DH had decided to get the bed up before he went, so DS could see it after nursery
It is REALLY COMFY!!!! It has springed slats at the bottom and a super soft springy thick mattress!! I am going to have to not let the kids bounce on it (as Bloomin bouncy and tempting as it is!!! as I suspect the slats won't take a good jumping on!) DH and I both got in it once it was all made up LOL!!! We are going to put the kids in our bed and have that one instead LOL!!
Anyway, I'm chuffed as it has been weeks and weeks!!! DS will hopefully be equally as chuffed

Well no list at the mo...have to get ds soon, and go to the shop.

Will catch up when I get back
