Morning all

Jelley · 19/05/2007 06:41

It is bright and sunny again here, and ds has been up since 5.
I think I will take the dds out for the day, and forget the housework for today.
What are everyone else's plans?

That sounds like a good plan Jelley

It is raining here, Dh has to go to work, so I have no idea what we will do today.

glitterfairy · 19/05/2007 08:11

It is a good day shouldbe as have now lost four stone! Still five to go though but nearly half way to super slim me. I dont look that heavy by the way whihc is good!

shouldbe · 19/05/2007 08:32

Congrats glitter That's fantastic! Really well done Have a great day x

ludaloo · 19/05/2007 08:49

Well done GF

Its going to be one of those days today..kids are all moaning and argueing
Why is it...on a school day they will all happily sleep until 7.30 (at least)...and I have to wake them. Yet on a weekend they are up at 6am!!
I might have to get them all dressed and find something to do before I end up a quivering wreck by this evening!

Have a good day at work shouldbe (I'm very today! )

Aufish · 19/05/2007 10:31

Good morning everyone, congrats Glitter on the weightloss, that's fab. Not alot is going to be happening housework wise today as I'm off on a contact with my mother and so housework is taking a back seat. Tort thanks for the advice on the Tramadol, I don't really know anything about it except it mentioned alot on Casualty! Right I will most probably be back later to regain my sanity. Have a good day!

Hi all.
Early start for you Jelley. My worst nightmare. Have a good time out.
Luda Rain Showers here.
GF Well done on your weight loss.
Shouldbe hope work goes ok and cycle ride later.
Everyone else Have a good day.

I took DDs out along the path on their bikes. DD2 can't do much on her little one! DD1 made a good effort with her new and 1st bike. We just went up and down the path along the road a few times. Didn't want to take them too far.

Went to put the washing out and it started to rain . So will porbably end up TD that too!

Loads to do so i better get on with some of it!

tortoise · 19/05/2007 13:48

Sun is out again so washing went back out! hopefully it will dry.
I have made a good start in a messy corner. Wall and floor had gone a little mouldy though so that had to be scrubbed.
I think lack of storage is my biggest problem but there isn't room for storage!

grouchyoscar · 19/05/2007 14:36

shouldbe · 19/05/2007 16:46

Hello again
I've had a good time at work but ended up sorting all the jobs I left instructions for other staff to do in the week which they've ignored
Dh collected me and we popped into the shops to buy a present for SIL (forgot her birthday yesterday) While dh went off to get petrol I took the kids into a museum in the city centre which was great - we looked round an area all about Egypt and the kids loved it They were so well behaved that one of the curators came over and congratulated me on my well behaved dcs [proud emotion]
Kids and dh are now playing on the PS while I have a cuppa and some MN time
Very tired so am planning to make supper soon and get everyone ready for an early night.

tortoise · 19/05/2007 16:58

Shouldbe that sounds lovely. And well done to DD and DS for being so well behaved.

I have done ok today i think. Loads left to do but DS's will be home any minute and then i have to get tea for me and DD's.

See you later.

SimplySparkling · 19/05/2007 19:18

Hi shouldbe and tort.

Your trip to the museum sounds lovely shouldbe. I agree with tort, your dcs did well to be so well behaved that someone came up to comment. As for others ignoring instructions, it doesn't surprise me one bit. It is very annoying, though.

Have a good evening tort.

I've not done well today. Still a lot to do.

Done:-
~ wash ds and dd's filthy clothes they've just arrived home in

Morning all.

I had a lovely day out yesterday, and need to do some serious work in the dds room today to fit in a chest of drawers my neighbour gave us yesterday.

Have a good day out today simply I hope you can relax and enjoy it.

OP posts:
shouldbe · 20/05/2007 08:02

Morning simply Hope the ironing is going well

I've had a sore throat for the past couple of days but last night it turned into a full blown cold Feeling really yukky this morning. Dh has offered me a lie-in but I can't breath when I lie down so I've ended up getting up anyway
Dd is in a show today so we're all going to watch that, along with all the gandparents It'll be fun and dd is really excited about it. I also need to~
~hang out washing that went through the wm over-night
~put another load in wm
~hoover downstairs
~do homework with dd
~s&s cloakroom
~general tidy-up ready for PIL arriving this afternoon
~gardening

That'll do - didn't want to end up with too many jobs cos I really want to spend more time with the family at the weekends but it's unavoidable sometimes that jobs come up.
Have a good day everyone

shouldbe · 20/05/2007 08:02
