~~~~****Monday Fly*****~~~~~

[Aufish]

Yes I know its 1am but I am starting the Monday Fly thread, still washing and ironing at the moment! Still need to make my bed and get in it! Well I'll be back on here later on in the morning. Am of course leaving the mission link to somebody better at that kind of thing!!! My poor new washing machine has had a baptism of fire, 7 loads of washing have been done since I got it here and I've got loads more to do! See you later!

Funnily enough I'm up waiting for mine to finish, (and doing some other stuff)

I'm off to bed in a minute just putting away the ironing board and then making the bed. Thankfully the kids are on holiday now otherwise I would be shattered later, will be having a lovely lie in as DP is home from work at 8.30am.

Good morning

Blimey Aufish! Hope you did get to bed soon after your post and can give yourself a good lie-in this morning!

We're up and (almost) ready for school and toddlers. It's the last toddlers for ds and me so I'm feeling a bit I've been going for 6 years and have some good friends there - what will happen to my social life once both kids are at primary school?!

We can't do our usual supermarket run today as the town we usually go to is cut off by the floods so I'll have to hope the village store here gets a delivery today so I can get the fresh bits we need.

Have a good morning, see you later x

Almost forgot, here's the mission for today

Morning ALL
Back from my Mums after 1 week last night. Lots to do very tired. Hope you are all well & your lo's too.

Will try & catch up with the threads. Chat with you all soon.x.

aufish hope you get a well deserved long lie..enjoy
shouldbe Hope the store does get that delivery. How did the rain effect you overall? DH drove to my parents house on Friday lunch time it took him just over 6 hours because of the weather. Normally it takes 3-3.5 hours.

MLR I've just read your sad news I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you & your family.{{{Hugs}}} to you all.x.x

Glad you had a good time away EHM

Better make some lunch - ds is starving apparently, despite eating about 4 biscuits at toddler group!

See you later x

Afternoon all

So the 1st full day of the jolly days. I went on a sponsored walk for funds for the toddler group. 1.5 miles. I went prepared, took huge DS in his buggy and took my walking stick and Ed's riens and wrist link (he ended up in the lake at xmas so I was covering every possibility)

Ed was a real sweetie, he poddled along as good as gold. OK, he chased the geese and the ducks but was well impressed by the 3 ducklings (awwh) So the boot camp seems to be working. I've let him watch scooby doo now. He also had a brown sauce butty at the group [ewwwh]

Done list

Ed up
Give him his clothes
Get buggy out of cellar
Vac the buggy and air it
Give Ed some trousers that he hasn't grown out of
Eat breakfast

Back from town and all I can say is what a dissappointing visit. Not worth the time.

To do

EHM Yes

I've not read the rest of the threads, but I'm back and I want to share (I know they are 17 months old, but they were lost on a dea mobile phone and I got them back this weekend.)

Awwww Jas Thanks for sharing. Hope you had a good weekend?

EHM no, can't go - sounds fun though (if the rain holds off) Hope you have fun and enjoy meeting Jas

Kids are fighting downstairs, should I intervene?....have no energy for another arguement with them

Hi all
Its raining here

Kids have made giant den in the front room

AM trying to not think about how long its going to take to clear it all up

shouldbe unless they're beating each other to a pulp, I'd leave them for a bit

aufish shame the dr who thing was pants

Not done much today .. finished Harry Potter this morning

Yep EHM he was 4 on Wednesday. My baby is growing up
Did his thankyou cards yesterday so I suppose it's officially all over. Maybe I can put the trainset away now

I've
Swept the kitchen
Made a snack tea for Ed and me
Cleaned out the snails
Harvested Ed's broad bean crop for tonights dinner

Well DH due home in 1/2 hr so I'll say goodnight to you all

I left them, no serious harm was done...I went down when supper was ready and tried to keep my cool with both of them (they've been pushing all the boundries this afternoon - not looking forward to the holidays if this continues )
Dh is home now so I've come away to "run the kids a bath" AKA look on MN
Need some serious de-stressing tonight.
