Good morning Jelley can't believe how early you were up. Haven't seen that time of the morning for a very long time. Will be back later after the school run.

yaddayah · 04/05/2007 07:45

Good morning starshine
The earth says hello
You twinkle above us
We twinkle below

A happy song to start the day

Waves to aufish jelley and earlgrey aufish I read the preview on panaorama, must admit i found that so upsetting i couldn't watch it

I need a cup of tea !

Off to sort out dc's

Be back with a list later

shouldbe · 04/05/2007 08:17

Jelley I was up early too but resisted the computer! I think I'd have beaten you to it time-wise - my body clock (and a neighbours chickens) wakes me at 5am every morning at the moment

I did consider doing some ironing but dh made me a better offer Much progress with our relationship over recent weeks

Will be back later with a list - although I expect it'll really only be ironing, the pile is huge!

glassslipper · 04/05/2007 08:24

Morning all. My sink has just been emptied. Will shine later as have to feed DD2 now. Will try and dust dining room later.

shouldbe · 04/05/2007 08:24

Happy Birthday Luda.

Jelley - I've never fallen off the wagon like this before. A shiny sink is actually quite motivating again

ludaloo · 04/05/2007 09:14

Aufish · 04/05/2007 09:26

Aufish is extremely peed off!!!!!!!!

After I posted here I went into the kitchen to do the washing up and saw that a bunch of idiot kids have kicked in my fence! It is right mess and have now got to wait for the police to come and take a statement.

My to do list list once I've calmed down:

Hoover, general tidy up
Post office to post a couple of letters
clean the downstairs loo
general tidy up in kitchen
Washing and drying.

Aufish · 04/05/2007 09:27

Happy Birthday Luda I hope you have a nice day!

bewilderbeast · 04/05/2007 09:29

AUFISH sorry to hear that, they are little sods, we've had the same sort of bother on our street lately.

Morning all

still doing job application, washing on, going to get haircut and new glasses so that I can see when I go back to work and don;t look like cousin it,

Happy birthday luda

shouldbe · 04/05/2007 09:46

Aufish sorry about your fence - what bad luck...hope it gets sorted.
Luda Enjoy your day, glad you (and dd1) like the card...it is very pink
Glassslipper you're doing really well - it's taken me till dc2 is 3 1/2 before I've felt able to start to try to keep on top of things properly (and only now with the help of these threads )
yadda we planted 6 sunflower seeds and have one measly little shoot about an inch tall...must get on and plant some more - can see we're going to fail this task...
Jelley enjoy the assembly - is dd2 doing a special piece?
bewilder enjoy the haircut and new glasses - I had new frames a couple of years ago and found it really hard to choose them - hope you find some you like

Hope that's everyone...I am trying to be better at all the hellos!

shouldbe · 04/05/2007 09:47

Oh, and my list ~
~sort ironing
~iron it
~put it away

all my least favourite jobs...

tortoise · 04/05/2007 11:01

Morning all.
shouldbe Glad things with dh are improving.[groin] Good luck with the ironing. I have some to do too. But i like doing it! Lots to put away too!

luda Happy birthday.

yaddah You make me lol.

Jelley You were up early!

On a go slow so far this morning.
DS's at school. DD's drawing.

Think i better start with dw and brekie stuff! Then ironing.

Our sunflowers are rather tiny so far!

shouldbe · 04/05/2007 11:06

Lol Tort at [groin]

I actually don't usually mind ironing but there's sooo much of it this time (all that line drying, I can usually get away with only a little ironing when things are dried in the td) All the putting away will be a drag though.

Better get back to it - keep finding other things I'd rather be doing....

tortoise · 04/05/2007 11:07

ooops! I hadn't noticed that.

shouldbe · 04/05/2007 11:07

..oh, and tort, I still can't sign into MSN Will try again later x

shouldbe · 04/05/2007 11:08

lol!
