Morning all Thanks for the welcome backs It's nice to feel I've been missed
Jas I'd like your breakfast this morning please...have to stick with museli instead though (not that I don't like museli, but I'd rather have croissants and pain au chocolat any day!)
Luda this rain is getting me down - and our garden is starting to resemble a meadow, we need it to dry out a bit so I (or dh) can cut the grass.
EHM have a good day, are your visitors still with you?
Work was good yesterday, nice and busy so I didn't have time to sit and feel I'd rather still be spening time with the rest of the family. Came home, put one load of washing on then sat in front of the TV all eve Must get more organised today ready for the shock of back to school etc in the morning. Dd has a school trip tomorrow so I need to try to find some new wellies somewhere today but really don't want to have to travel far - does anyone know if Sainsbury's sell kids wellies?...Have lots of washing and putting away to do so better get on - kids are up and arguing downstairs, dh is still asleep
See you later x

Afternoon all

Got our visitors coming for dinner this afternoon before they go back home - life will get back to normal again, phew! Has been loving having them but very hectic.

Had a lovely day yesterday and it didnt start raining until we were ready to come home thank goodness. Has rained ever since though - the garden is saturated

Not much to do once guests leave - still to file paperwork and do the ironing so will get those done tonight. And need to go shopping later for the week too.

gibberish · 01/07/2007 11:54

Errm that should be lovely having them. duh.

Hi all

Well haven't really done much FLYing today, It has whizzed by!!

I have done a couple of loads of washing, tidied round and thats about it. I have been playing with the kids mostly!
We've coloured, made scones, watched "flushed away", done DD1's homework, played Snap...they are upstairs making gawd knows what mess now!!

Well I'm half watching Diana's Concert thingy, and thinking about supper. I'll catch you all in a bit.

EHM · 01/07/2007 17:18

Hi Everybody

BIG EXCITED to Shouldbe Welcome back. Hope holiday was enjoyable despite the rather wet weather?

I've quickly read the thread, oops but by the time I began my post mind went blank Two late night & very early starts haven't helped.

I am off to hang out sheets on line as its still sunny & windy ideal! Have a great evening all.x.

Visitors gone! Life returns to normal. Have done almost everything. Had a bit of a 27 fling boogie (lol) and got rid of a load of t-shirts etc that I never wear. Tidied out my drawers - looks much better. Might actually be able to find stuff in there now! Filed all the paperwork - took about 2 minutes in total. What a chore that used to be before I sorted out the files and keep on top of it now. Going to do the ironing now whilst watching tv and then only got the clothes to look out for morning.

My new kitchen gets delivered Tuesday (yay!) so trying to keep everything as organised as I can before the real chaos starts.

Hope everyone is having a good evening

tortoise · 01/07/2007 21:13

Evening to anyone who is around!
Quite day here without DS's. Made biscuits with DD's and went to local football club fun day. complete waste of time! There was nearly nothing there. I assume people gave up because of the weather forecast! Actually the weather was pretty good all day.

Made cake with DS's this evening before bedtime.

Hope to take girls swimming tomorrow. Not been for a while and they really love it.

bewilderbeast · 01/07/2007 21:25

Just watching to end of the Diana concert then need to get clothes out for the morning - it'll be a HUGE shock to have to be out of the house by 8.20!

Having to sit here writing this while my neighbours son stands at the end of his drive snogging his girlfriend! Window looks straight out so no avoiding them! How long will it take them to say goodnight??!! Serious passions out there

EHM Hello! It's so nice to be back (but not v nice to be facing all the FLYing again - thank heavens for the support from this thread to get me motivated again!)
See you all in the morning

gibberish · 01/07/2007 22:25

Sorry you are feeling down bewilderbeast . Nothing too serious I hope.

tort Sounds like you had a good day today. Hope you are feeling a bit better.

Finished the ironing and have put it all away! Clothes laid out too so all ready for work tomorrow.

So it's goodnight from me, and I will 'see' you all on Wednesday. Have a good few days!

tortoise · 01/07/2007 22:42

Yes i am thanks Gibberish.
I was suppose to make the sandwiches but i haven't. It doesn't take too long in the morning anyway.
I have had a nice soak in the bath though.

See you all sometime tomorrow.

gibberish · 01/07/2007 22:44

Really glad you have had a good day. Nite tort

tortoise · 01/07/2007 22:47
