I'm back

I managed to tidy upstairs, and hoover throughout.
Put 3 piles of clean clothes away.
Tidy up the kitchen.

I have just fed the kids, and they are now watching "Cars" so I am now going to crack on with this filing.

Hello yadda and madwelshwoman
Ds and I are back and have had lunch No wellies in the right size so we'll need to look further afield over the weekend if there's time.
Need to make up the beds but some of the bedding is still damp so it'll have to wait. Maybe I'll do some prep for work tomorrow while ds is happy and quiet...keep putting it off but I must get it done.
Better get on - time is passing quickly today!

ludaloo · 18/05/2007 13:38

Filing going quite well...considering DD2 keeps "helping" and DS keeps trying to get my attention! I have refiled the house paperwork and done some of the business bank work.
It isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
I have a few folders of things I have no idea what to do with though.

Anyhoo...must get on...tort get that music back on and keep boogieing your doing great so far.

Afternoon.

I've read the thread but too much to reply to at the moment.

I have cut the grass and found my phone charger this afternoon (in with dps tools)It is beautiful and sunny here now, and I have friends coming after school, so just got time to run round with the hoover.

Back tonight. Hope everyone had a good day.

Hi I'm back and I've done most of my ironing, hurray!! Going to put the school uniforms in the wash in a minute and get them all ironed later so then I don't have to worry about it when other half's friend is over.

Just now need to kick other half off the x box and off to the doctors, he still has his headache even though he's dosed up on medication. I do hope that they sort him out.

Well, I'll be back later after the kids are in bed and will update then.

Bye for now

Evening All
Back much better, on not so strong painkillers now. Not read threads sorry I've spent for too long on MN tonight already & my back is beginning to hurt. Hope my fly friends & their lo's are all fine. Any newbies hello.
shouldbe thank you for the email.x

Aufish · 18/05/2007 21:54

EHM I really do hope your back gets better. My other half has had a headache for the last 6 days which hasn't got any better, so he went off to the doctors this afternoon and has now been put on Tramadol which should make him feel better. I am absolutely shattered now and I am going to have a long lie in tomorrow morning, I need it!

EHM · 18/05/2007 21:56

aufish sorry to hear your dh is still unwell hope the pills help.get some rest{{hugs}}

tortoise · 18/05/2007 22:02

EHM Glad you back is feeling better.
Aufish Hope DH is better soon. Watch Tramadol though. I belive they are quite adictive.
