MISSION

Morning all

Finished all but the ironing from yesterday's list. The ironing pile is HUGE as I have no dirty or drying washing for the 1st time in months. Took advantage of the sunshine and the neighbours being on holiday so I used their line.

TO DO

Tidy bedrooms
Empty DW
Put away
Make breakfast
Take Ed to activities at the toddler group and Children's Centre.
Tackle ironing (tips please Aufish)
Make lunch
S&S kitchen
Shine sink
Vac downstairs
Tackle kitchen hotspots
Do the ironing
Put away

It never ever stops does it?

Back again, julez I still haven't got my diary yet and I'm getting tetchy! How long did it take for yours to arrive? Mine is supposed to be on express delivery and its not here!!!

Done most of my list now, just need to put away the ironing and make up the beds again.
Just having a quick 5 minutes sit down before I go and tackle 5 beds! Oh why did I strip all the beds today??? I hate making them back up again.

Back later.

Hi to all. Just a quick post.

shouldbe You're sounding better today and you've done lots from your list.

luda Sorry to hear that you're still unwell and dd2, too. I could have come and helped you out at the w/e, you know. I expect you didn't want to pass the bug on but you've really been through the mill recently. That hill by the hospital is a 'mare, too. Driving and parking there whilst unwell; you poor thing. I can come and collect the boxes out of your way or ask dh if he is going that way this week. I'll let you know by e-mail tonight.

Off to make the upstairs tidy as the plumber is coming soon to see the bathroom.

AufishFeQueen · 30/07/2007 17:05

Hi back again, done all 5 beds now and am shattered. The ironing needs to be done tonight so the dvds will on! Well I have been summoned by the Other half, he's on BBQ duty today, yum,yum! Julez now am worried about my diary, had the confirmation email that my order was completed so will have to chase them up by the looks of it.

EHM · 30/07/2007 17:09

Have just sorted through 3 huge boxes of craft stuff, they're all back in order (ds even helped ) So we've spent a pleasant hour doing glueing and sticking as we can now find all the stuff, feel very virtuous as have sorted through the big toy box and put everything back where it should be.

shouldbe hope you're having a better day today

grouchyoscar · 30/07/2007 18:53

Played out with Ed for last 2 hrs.

Spread gravel round the garden with his old skool tonka,
Watered his plants (His carrots are poking out of the ground, his spring onions are coming along, his strawberries are cropping and his tomatoes are flowering)
Watered the decorative plants
and ...watered Ed (well he asked)
Change Ed
Give him a snack tea
Make surfer jewellry with Ed (he's got a cool stone necklace now)

Been a productive day in all honesty. Hope you've all had good ones yourself.

Hello all

We were out til gone 8 this evening, and I did a bit of FLYing before turning on the computer, but nothing exciting to report.

I have skimmed and noticed ludaloos dd has bronchiolitis Hope the antibiotics/steriods help her feel better. Have not really taken in much else, but I will be back tomorrow with a list

EHM · 30/07/2007 22:03

Just sat down after putting ellie down to bed at 815. After which I did prepared & put in oven 1 lamb & 1 Beef Casserole. Once cooked will cool, batch & freeze.
Touch up paint in our bedroom.
sweep front path & step, then throw buckets of water to clean.
I am going in shower now I smell or soupy after preparing casserole stuff.
Then will iron small pile of ironing from 2 loads of washing today.
grouchy thanks for pic I will show Ellie in the morning.e
Luda thanks for martha's site never been on before, will be visiting again pretty soon. Hope you & dd are feeling better.
Right off to get showered.

EHM · 30/07/2007 23:08

ironing done & put away only about 1 dozen things. Casseroles cooked and cooling. I've been showered. Don't think I can wait until they are cooled sufficiently enough to batch & then freeze....[sleepy...yawn] Night All.x

Skribble · 30/07/2007 23:09

Evening all,

Well I did a bit of a home fix (blessing) today, cleared the stairs and living room floor (well nearly) and did a bit of a dust and hoover. Don't know how I am getting in to bed tobnight as I took up all the laundry and ironing and dumped it on the bed along with the 3 hold alls DH has got on the go and had left in the middle of the living room.

EHM · 30/07/2007 23:11

Evening Skribble

Skribble · 30/07/2007 23:12

Didn't do todays misson as I have only just come on here, if I come on in the morning thats me for the day . But... I did hoover the tops of the settee cushions and arms and even shaved off some of the bobbles from the scatter cushions and hoovered them too.

AufishFeQueen · 30/07/2007 23:27

Evening all I have just sat down after doing 2 baskets of ironing and now am shattered. Going to have a nosey on here and then I'm off to bed. We have friends over tomorrow so it will be just a quick go over the house to make it look presentable and that's it. Night all xx
