Morning Aufish, Jelley, Ludaloo and all

{{{{hugs}}}} Luda You have a busy day - take it steady and I'm sure you'll catch up

I always have a busy day out and about on a Monday so don't really do any FLYing. I'm running baby and toddler group this morning so need to be there in good time to get the toys out etc. Then I usually try to get to the supermarket (we're in the sticks so the supermarket is a 16mile round trip) and back and all the shopping put away before collecting dd and taking her and a friend to an after-school activity. Easy supper (Spagetti and jar of sauce) and then kids to bed and a sit down for me I could do with putting some washing in the machine at some point too - maybe I'll go and do that quickly now...

See you later x

shouldbe · 14/05/2007 07:57

Oh, it was glitter who did the link, sorry to have missed you - I just assumed it was Jelley Hope you have a good day

glitterfairy · 14/05/2007 08:12

Hello shouldbe sounds frantic! ludaloo big hug I need to borrow your to do list I think today and add get a new job to it as well! Looks like my company is going to go this week. I am rapidly running out of money and it cant pay me again this month which is not ok since only my wage goes to keeping the kids as X pays nothing. Morning jelley LOL at you not really being here!

shouldbe · 14/05/2007 09:01

glitter Hope something works out...

Have put washing in, taken dd to school, agreed to take another child to toddler group with me (why do I always say yes to these extras?!) and done a quick scout round picking up and putting away....and still the house looks a total tip I'm completely lacking in motivation lately, think it must be this nasty weather....

Must go and get on to toddler group now.

SleeplessInTheStaceym11House · 14/05/2007 09:10

Aufish · 14/05/2007 09:37

Good morning to everybody, Glitter I hope everything works out for you with finding a new job, Luda good luck with the paperwork, you will get yourself into a routine before you even realise it.

Morning ALL

Had a good morning. DH has changed his work hours so he now takes DS to school. It gives me a bit of time to relax TBH. I still get up (and get told off for it) but poor DH just forgets to do the important stuff (like toothbrushing or nit repellant etc)

Done today
Washed and dressed
Make our bed and draw curtains
Make DS's bed and draw curtains
S&S loo
S&S bathroom
Load and run wm
Load DW (DH empties and puts away now!)
Clean out, re bed and feed DS's new pet (he has a garden snail called 'Patch' living in an old terarium, Patch eats lettuce from your hand and is quite sweet as snails go)
Vac downstairs
Vac stairs

To do

Handle site visit re central heating
Collect DS
Make lunch
DS time

Patch is climbing up the glass and you can see his pseudopodia rippling as s/he moves along - help, I'm getting attatched to a mollosc

EHM I know Dr K will review film reviews but...I'm scared, he does it so well (plus I still don't know what 'meritious' means yet) I have a LOT of respoect for the guy's work so why compete. He's fab.

Not impressed by the plans for the GCH, seems a lot of hassle for little benefit tbh, well what's the worst we can say? "no'? and the world will still turn. We just put an extra sweater on really.

Off no SYS X

Londonmamma · 14/05/2007 11:06

Morning all - couldn't find this thread for ages, was having withdrawal symptoms! Have also started on WWW's 6 week healthy living one today - GF - I think you're on there too??

Grouchy - I get so fed up at being the one who remembers all the niggly little things about the kids. If DH had to take them to the dentist I'm sure he'd make sure they brushed their teeth!!

Luda - hope you have a good day, that's a long list.

Now, need to get into gear and off MN!

My next jobs:
hang laundry, clear kitchen, hoover, write new to-do list, general tidy, clean toilets (including mission!).

Back when that's done!

glitterfairy · 14/05/2007 11:25

yes I have joined and applied my sun cream already. Just off swimming now after finding two jobs to apply for! Also apparently company taking a turn for the better today as well so feeling loads better about things.

Luda you've done well so far
glitter good to hear things are looking a little brighter
grouchy, stacey, and Londonmamma Hello

We dropped home after toddler group to collect my mobile phone and found a message on the home answer-phone from the mother of a friend of dds asking if we could collect her dd from school. All fine except we're going on to an after-school club so I now need to wait in for a while till the mother can phone again so I can let her know where we'll be(she's at work and can't take calls!)...should do some jobs while I'm waiting but can't be bothered so have stuck a dvd on for ds and am going to have some MN time instead (and then feel guilty about it later no doubt)

Aufish · 14/05/2007 12:51

Back again, got most of the jobs on my list done, though not hoover as I'm a bit weary of doing it at the moment as DP is still sleeping and I really do not want him to wake up with another bad headache, been really worried about him as he hasn't done the usual manflu thing that he usually does when he gets a bug or headache thing, usually when he's unwell the world and his wife knows about it and he's been really quiet.

Washing machine is still going well, touch wood, have no idea what yesterday's incident with it was all about. It leaked a little bit and the clothes had some dry bits on it and it was only four towels and a small pair of trousers in it, that is a half load by its standard.

Am having a well deserved break at the moment and the hunger pangs have started, so I'm off for lunch.

yaddayah · 14/05/2007 13:07

aufish hope hes ok .. is it a migrane type thing..? it can really knock the wind out of you

enjoy you're lunch

Olivebranch Thats a big list for an hour !!

better get off and look at my list again !

Aufish · 14/05/2007 13:15

The hospital said it was a tension headache, but he had woken up with it, which confuses me as you are supposed to be tense or stressed to get a tension headache. You are at your most relaxed when you are asleep, so I don't believe it is a tension headache, I did think that it was a migraine and so gave him some of my migraine tablets which haven't worked as yet. Have been on the health thread and have had a good few suggestions for medication for him to try so will have to get him some.

Thanks olivebranch hope you have a good game!

yadda TBH I'm a bit obsessed when it comes to hoovering I often hoover more than once a day!! After meals and what not. I usually keep the hoover out so I can do another quick go round!! ( I have a friend who takes the piss, as everytime she happens to call I'm either in the middle of hoovering, or the hoover is poised ready! ) To not do it for a few days really does mean I'm lacking in motivation!!!!

EHM · 14/05/2007 13:34

Just wanted to pop in & say Hi. Not yet read todays thread. Been swimming with Ellie, I got soaked on the way back.Still peeing down with rain. Just given Ellie her lunch, and I am about to have a bite to eat. Will catch up with thread & come back. Hope you are all having a good day.x.

SleeplessInTheStaceym11House · 14/05/2007 13:50

aufish, i get headaches that they say are 'tension' headaches and not migraines, because a migraine is only on one side of your head apparantly. i promptly told the doctor that if i can move, speak, open my eyes and am being sick with pain its a migraine as far as i can see......and he prescribed me some tablets for migraines....try not to be fobbed off!
