Good morning, have just finished another pile of ironing, am nearly finished the lot now much to my relief. I know I'm mad but when you think I have 4 kids off on summer holidays at the moment and a whole weeks worth of clothes to get through it has to be done at some point otherwise it would a mountain to do! Will be back later with a list as the house is a bit of a tip so it needs to be sorted.

Morning

tort thanks for pointing out GF's thread, I've posted on there now

Hello to everyone

Well a very rare occurance in the ludaloo household.....everyone is still asleep! Its 8:10!!! I'm trying not wake them just yet.

I have another shelf to put up today, in the bathroom this time. The downstairs loo looks better already.

I am not going to bother with a list, I have decided just to do things that take my fancy. I might sort the shoe cupboard out today, and take some bags of clothes to town.

See you all in a bit

shouldbe · 26/07/2007 08:39

Morning all
EHM had to laugh at your attempts to link from Weds to here (sorry)
Jas and your link efforts on this thread made me too! (sorry again!)
Tort thanks for the link to the glitter thread. I hope all is well with her, I find her a very inspirational lady
Aufish please get an early night soon, it's tiring for me to even look at the time on your posts!
Luda wow, a quiet house, I love mornings like that (can't remember any recently though...) Well done on your drilling etc

First day of the holidays and I've started as I mean to go on and have been out on my bike ride already Really want (and need) to keep it up most mornings before the habit is lost.
Have a few jobs to do today if the kids will allow it/be willing to help. I'll probably be back with a list later.

Right see if I can fit putting the shelf up before I go.....

SimplySparkling · 26/07/2007 11:08

Hello to all. Sorry I haven't been around for a few days. We had a new PC and lost a couple of days doing all the bits and pieces you have to do to get stuff transferred etc. That sounds as though I did it but no, dh did. I just had to delete and file properly lots of stuff in my e-mail account as it was HUGE!

I'm glad to see that others have found MN unbearably slow this morning (I spotted a thread about this in active convos) as I thought my new PC didn't like MN!

Off to do some stuff and will come back and do a list then. T'pip!

Hello again everyone

We're going a bit stir crazy already and it's only day one of the holidays! I let ds have a long play on the computer this morning so dd and I could do some cutting and glueing together it was fun
I've done v little on the FLY front...
The beds are made
The dishwater is on
2 loads of washing have been through the machine
erm...that's it...

I had a phone call about an hour ago from a friend asking if she and her dc could come and play this afternoon which will be nice but she's the type of person who has a house so tidy you wouldn't even know a child lived there and so when they come here her dc goes crazy and empties out just about every toy in the house! Not sure I'm looking forward to it really
