Good morning everyone

Ooohhh - I did this mission last week when I touched up all the paint work I may have a go at yesterdays mission though and count the living room hotspot as the cupboard under the stairs which is one giant hot spot! Have other jobs too - will try to come back with a list once the lo's are out of the house.

SimplySparkling · 01/05/2007 08:16

Bore da all. A bit of Welsh there to go with yaddah's Bosnian!
Thanks for starting the thread Aufish.
I'm not in work today so I'm going to focus on the ironing and see if I can get that beat. I have a few phonecalls to do too. I'll come back after brekkie with a list.

SimplySparkling · 01/05/2007 09:46

It is a great idea to borrow a list and customise it!

Done:-
~ unload and load d/w
~ put a load of washing on
~ sprayed my new trainers with protective spray ready for walking the dog
~ put body lotion on as I should because I'm on the boot camp thread.
To do:-
~ walk the dog
~ I need to find my sunscreen and apply it
~ open up greenhouse and water plants
~ do lots of ironing and putting away

shouldbe · 01/05/2007 09:50

at having a greenhouse Simply, there was one in our garden when we bought the house but we sold it (it was 10 years ago and I hadn't got a clue about gardening) Wouldn't fit a greenhouse in now very easily cos we've added an extension...have to make do with windowsills for now

Haven't even started yet - must get on!

See you later x

Aufish · 01/05/2007 10:03

Clean upstairs bathroom

Gunaydin (good morning in Turkish!).
DS's are at school. Kept DD1 home from pre-school. She seems ok ish. Sometimes has pain on her right side and still a little hot. She had a better night though.

I must put the washing away today and i said to the DS's this morning i must clean the windows today. But then i forgot to buy window cleaner in town. Might have a bit left though. I will have to look!

BabiesEverywhere · 01/05/2007 10:15

Are we allowed to have really bad lazy days ?

I am so tired DD woke me up at 2am then 3:30am and then got up at 6am for the day.

I am so tired, I have only done the basics and spent the rest of the morning watching TV/playing on the computer and I am still in my PJ's

DONE
S&S Bathroom
Emptied d/w
2 loads in w/m and first load on the line
S&S Kitchen
Tidied Living Room

TO DO
GET SHOWERED/DRESSED
Hoover Downstairs
Ironing
Get tea ready
Get some sleep tonight (please precious baby girl)

I want to go to bed early with DD so I am not as tired in the morning but this would mean I don't see my hubby in the evening and I miss him if I don't stay up.

Sorry about the tired moaning, anyhow DD is just waking up from a very short nap so I had better get moving and get her

SimplySparkling · 01/05/2007 10:17

@ shouldbe. Yes, you might well be jealous. I bought it recently and it cost

£11.50 from cheap Charlies! It is metal and plastic and is a starter greenhouse for people who are giving it a whirl at little cost.

Will do some jobs and come back with an updated list.

Mhamai · 01/05/2007 10:20

Morning everyone, sorry I haven't read the rest of the thread, I'm feeling like poo this morning, woke up and have the worst case of hay fever and also need to go to the doctor as I have either cystitis or a kidney infection, suspect its a kidney infection. Anyhoo that's me. Catch you all later.

Jelley · 01/05/2007 10:26

mhamai Hope you feel better soon.

Babies Everywhere Your done list is longer than mine, and I have no excuse at all now. I went through a phase of having to go to bed when the children did in order to function the next day, too, but nothing lasts forever, and now ds is sleeping through and I have reverted to night owl

at the multi lingual hellos. Nothing more exotic than a bonjour here.

I've done my kitchen, and arranged to go out this afternoon. Off to do the mission now...

tortoise · 01/05/2007 10:28

Of course we are BabiesEverywhere. Mhamai Hope you feel better soon.

Well, i am still sat here! Its always a big mistake to turn the comp on!

yaddayah · 01/05/2007 10:36

S/s kitchen
d/w unloaded/reloaded and on
checked bank balance online at size of overdraft

Hope you feel better mhami and babies and torts dd babies you've also done more than me

glassslipper · 01/05/2007 10:53

Mhamai - hope you feel bettter soon.

BE - if that's you on a bad day then i am very

I too am having a bad day but have only managed to empty the dishwasher and make breakfast.

NineUnlikelyTales · 01/05/2007 11:02

Good morning

Poor DS has a temperature as well as conjunctivitis now but is remarkable perky on it!

Am most impressed with the multilingual flyers! I did GCSE German, so does Guten Morgen count?

Mhamai poor you, look after yourself and get well soon. Also the same to Tort DD.

All I ever seem to say these days is that I can't get much done, for one reason or another. Feel free to give me a kick up the backside everyone.

Done so far
Put out recycling and brought box back in

To do
Laundry - mission is to get to the bottom of the baskets
Beds
Unload/reload dishwasher
Tidy sitting room
Clean glass shelf and mirror in bathroom
Vacuum

Have a good day, all
nut
