Morning

I am not dressed yet and my sink has stuff in it

I am going to out both of those things now if DD will let me.

I have put the next few days on this thread as I am off to my brothers house and don't know when I will be back online, but here is day 4

Hello DragonFaerie! I belatedly saw your compliment on my name on the other thread (it was you, wasn't it?), but there were so many posts by then that I didn't want to acknowledge the 3rd post on it! Thank you kindly. Don't know about similar interests - purple is my favourite colour, and tortoises are my favourite animals, but purpletortoise doesn't scan so well LOL.

We do, however, share an interest in sorting out our homes, apparently.

I have done all sorts today - wiped out the fridge, wiped down kitchen cupboards, done the grocery shop for the week, 2 loads of laundry, the recycling, return of borrowed baby stuff. I am definitely on a roll!

(I think it's because I stopped bf a couple of weeks ago. I always go a bit manic. But I am definitely going to take advantage. I've even bought myself a folder to make a control journal - do you think I'm becoming obsessed?)

glassslipper · 08/05/2007 16:13

i used to go to a bar called the purpleturtle at uni

DragonFaerie · 08/05/2007 16:15

LOL!Purple's my favourite colour too (even had DH paint the front door purple ) I have a purple folder ()that I bought several months back to use for my Control Journal...ooooh sooooooo many good intentions! It even has all the right dividers and everything
and yes it was me who complimented your name and originally tried to steal it on my first foray onto MN!

purpleturtle · 08/05/2007 16:17

My control journal folder is purple! Just realised I forgot to get dividers.

purpleturtle · 08/05/2007 16:18

Have been asked on here before if my name is connected to the bar.

DragonFaerie · 08/05/2007 16:25

Where's the bar? Do oyu want my dividers PT? I'm not using them (very norty flybaby)

DragonFaerie · 08/05/2007 16:25

Can't type either...

purpleturtle · 08/05/2007 16:26

Can't remember where the bar is - I've got an idea there's a chain. Glassslipper knows!

DragonFaerie · 08/05/2007 16:30

Well done GS! I'm being rubbish again but I might go and tackle the big Hotspot that is my conservatory [grimacing emoticon!]
I really should do some Uni work....

glassslipper · 08/05/2007 16:31

Dragon, come back to tea shop, have some of my cake, then we'll go off again and fly like last time

Does it count if you move a hotspot wholesale from one place to another?

Ds1 has a beloved cardboard box which he "drives" or "flies" on occasion. The last time it was brought downstairs it only ever made it back up one flight of stairs, and has been sitting there for a week, gradually accumulating children's stuff. Tonight I have just dumped the box in the attic. Actually, their whole room is a humungous hotspot. But as I don't go up there very often, I think it'll end up waiting a while.

glassslipper · 09/05/2007 08:33

lol purpleturtle.

right guys. Here is babysteps day 7

glassslipper · 09/05/2007 08:35

I have a clean, shiny sink.

I have done a hotspot this morning which was a pile of clothes in my Dds room.

purpleturtle · 09/05/2007 09:08

Isn't it day 8? Have I gone astray somewhere? I thought I laid my clothes out last night!

NormaStanleyFletcher · 09/05/2007 09:42

Yep - you are quite right

Come over and join me in week two
