Morning Go and Jas, well the holidays start properly for me today, and if this weather carries on, it will be a very long six weeks for me.

Just the basics for me today:

Hoover, polish and sweep
wash up and dry up
general tidy up

Have DD's friend coming over for tea today and so need to organise a spag bol for tea, so an easy day all in all.

shouldbedoingthehousework · 20/07/2007 07:59

Morning all

I haven't really sussed out facebook yet...what is it? (techno-phobe)

I've been awake in the night with a v bad case of cystitis - haven't had it for years, it's nasty Will be off to the doctors this morning (hopefully, if I can get an appt)

It shouldbe sports day for ds today but as it's pouring down I can't see it happening so we'll be cooped up all afternoon playing trains I expect.
Schools here don't break up till next Wednesday so we have a few more rushed mornings to go.

Better go and get sorted. Will be back with a list perhaps - I'm still finding it fairly easy to keep on top of things whish is a first!

BillWeasleyBeast · 20/07/2007 08:01

Morning all, Jas I've been looking for flying mners on facebook but it's impossible to work out who everyone is.
Working today so won't be doing any flying but I'm off to the docs so I get an extra hour at home this morning. Will be flying tomorrow though as the house is a mess.

Jas · 20/07/2007 08:07

Everyone I've got emails for is not registered (except tort.) If you look on the mumsnet group Bewilder(LOVE the HP name btw), I have a picture of feet on my profile if that helps you to find me!

I really am going to go and do breakfast now the dds are up.

BillWeasleyBeast · 20/07/2007 08:16

can't work out if you're the one with bare feet or the one with shoes. I'm the one with the Andy Warholeske baby

Jas · 20/07/2007 08:22

Bare feet and decking.
Didn't notice the shoes on the beach til I'd said that.

SimplySparkling · 20/07/2007 08:50

Morning go. A very early start for you. Look after yourself today, ok, my orders!

Jas 10pm! Yikes. Soon the kids will be tucking me into bed! I went at 11.30pm which was pretty good for me. I did what I should and cleansed, toned and moisturised. I then read a bit of my book and put the light off, ready to sleep which was good. I switched the alarm off at 7am when I heard ds get up and when I next looked at the clock it was 8.30am and the kids had got themselves ready and off to school, leaving me a note with kisses on the table!

I've not been on facebook. It is being talked about on BBC news by 4 gorgeous men who sing in a group called Blake. Put it on Now!

I have now done nothing for the past 30mins but try to set up a facebook page! I've requested to join the MN group - does that take long?...

Better go and at least make the beds - have to collect ds soon!

FoeGlassSlipper · 20/07/2007 11:25

Jas, I have facebook too. Didnt want to join the mumsnet group as I dont want RL friends to know my secret. You can add me as a friend if you want when you get set up.

shouldbedoingthehousework · 20/07/2007 11:31

Hi Glass

I have signed up now and invited a couple of friends Have used my real name so no-one will know my MN name (I hope, I like to keep that more private) Keep thinking of more friends to look up on there, it's addictive already....

SimplySparkling · 20/07/2007 12:57

Right. It's all going to pot without tort and luda to keep us in line. IMHO, of course. For example, today I have:-

got up really late

got showered and dressed (eventually)

been on the au pair website and had a reply from a Romanian wondering how far I am in Wales from London. Answer will be: too far.

gassed on phone to friend for 40 mins but in my defence she rang me.

had lunch. Bagel with honey, coffee and crumble with icecream. What am I thinking? Apart from trying to win a lazy cow of the day award. Ingredients:- bagel, butter, honey, coffee, water, milk, crumble and icecream. Oh oh. Not good. Good job it is salmon with veg for tea.

it is pouring with rain and even the dog doesn't want to go out in it.

I haven't really done much and everyone is on about facebook. I must not join.

Come back one and all!

SimplySparkling · 20/07/2007 13:39

Ok. I have pulled my socks up and hoovered almost all of the downstairs. I'm going to do some ironing now.
