Morning all

Ds has been awake for over 1/2 hour so he and I are going to be tired later. I have lots to do today so will be back later with a list - off to get the wm and dw on now and pack the lunches.
See you later x

Oooooh Morning shouldbe

I was convinced I'd be the first up this morning. I have been up since about 6 am with my DS too! He woke up crying thinking there were monsters
He woke DD2 up, and DD1 has had a terrible night trying to sleep with a blocked nose.

I can't think of a list at the mo...I too have to go do D/W and W/M...and DH's packed lunch (keeping DD1 off today) Oh and brekkie.
I have to do a food shop today though...

Have a good morning all

glitterfairy · 27/04/2007 07:20

Morning shouldbe and Luda. I am going to do a list today as I seem to be getting behind in all of this!

Jelley · 27/04/2007 07:23

Morning shouldbe, Luda, and glitterfairy.

I won't be doing the mission today, but tomorrow is bed change day, so I will make an extra effort then

I'll be out for most of the day again, but hope to at least finish last nights washing up before the dds get up and want feeding.

ludaloo · 27/04/2007 07:24

Right...had brekkie, d/w is unloaded and ready to reload. Washing Machine is on...kids all quiet watching Ice Age 2.

No list today, but will do the basics and the mission (needs doing) will go into town a little later to food shop and get DD1 some medicine for her cold. (It has just come out of the blue! No sign of a cold, then yesterday she flakes out! oooh I hate ruddy colds!)

See you all in a bit

ludaloo · 27/04/2007 07:25

oh...Morning GF and Jelley

shouldbe · 27/04/2007 07:31

Yay! Both kids up and dressed Dw and wm are on and lunch boxes are packed Just need to get brekkie out of the way and we'll hopefully not have to rush too much for school.
Luda hope dd1 feels better soon - my dd sends {{{hugs}}} to her x
Jelley I'm putting the beds off till Sunday - I'd like to wash the sofa cover today if I can though... Have a good day out (hope you're doing something nice?)
Glitter see you later with your list

Hello all. I woke up feeling very tired this morning but it was lovely to come down to a clean, tidy kitchen. I've got some things carried over from yesterday. I'm adding the bare minimum so that I get through the list as much as possible. I'm going to be at the hairdressers for 2 hours or more today. If you go into town today luda you can pull faces through the window! It's the one where you have the Welsh bookshop on the corner, then jewellers, then bakery, then the hairdressers (I think!) If I don't have my glasses on then I won't be able to see you!

My sympathies to anyone who didn't sleep well or has colds etc. Hope you have a restful day and a better night.

Done:-
~ put load on line
~ put on another load which has just finished so will put on line
~ emptied d/w, put it all away, reloaded
~ everyone breakfasted. Chivvied ds and dd into making themselves a packed lunch.
~ ironed a top for dd and football shorts for dh
~ emptied bin and cleaned it while I was at it
~ sorted some recycling
~ finished cleaning compost carry container I'd bleached last night
~ cleaned downstairs loo

To do:-
~ get ready for the blinds man due at 9.20am
~ I've a few things to sort out/return.
~ ironing
~ tidying up
~ put away clothes ironed 2 days ago
~ colour and cut booked for lunchtime
~ walk the dog
~ strip the beds and launder

EHM · 27/04/2007 08:24

Luda - for Ellie and you. Hope you get through the washing OK. My guts are still feeling weird. I'm never eating sushi again, I don't care how good it's supposed to be! I had food poisoning just before by wedding after one oyster!

Simplysparkling - you are well productive!

shouldbe · 27/04/2007 09:43

Hello again

HAVE to get on today so please shoo me away if I'm back before noon!

My list is~
~make more cookies (on my own - faster that way - made 12 with Luda's recipe yesterday and it took an hour and a half with the kids doing the mixing and cutting!)
~more washing
~hang washing out
~put clean washing away
~s&s kitchen (after baking)
~clean cloakroom
~collect little chairs and tables
~hoover everywhere
~panic about weather (must be sunny tomorrow - need to have party in the garden!)
~pack party bags
~dust downstairs
~clear/hide hotspots

I'd really better get on or I'll never get done. Ds finishes pre-school early today so I don't have much timer before I'll have a "helper" with me and my progress will be slower!

See you later x

Hello again all.

EHM I hope that Ellie is feeling a bit better now.

rollon and EHM I'm not sure that I'll enjoy the hairdressers. I'm feeling a bit nervous as I don't know what style I'm going for and I want a change of colour. I'll let you know how it turns out!

Hi beety and gf. I hope the admin work goes well.

shouldbe I forgot to say thanks for starting the thread!

Londonmamma You made me smile with the phrase well productive! I haven't heard well used in that way for an age! I spend far too much time with oldies, I think.

I have done some more.
