Morning All

Jas Thanks for the thread. Enjoy the lamp

to hn, gibberish & mhamai

Lots to do so I better get on. Have a good day all. Had terrible night with ellie she was awake from 1045 until 315am Didn't appear to be anything wrong other then she wanted to play

shouldbe · 16/08/2007 08:52

Good morning

Thanks for the thread Jas and for the reminder about that lava lamp - do you have a link still? We may give that a go later/next week...

gibberish You're right, the only way is down with my immaculate house...not look quite so good this morning lol! When I was waiting for our visitor to arrive yesterday I looked aound and it all felt a bit too tidy - I almost had to get some toys about to mess the place up abit!

We have no plans for today. It's not raining so we'll attempt a walk at some point. The kids are keen to go and walk in a field of hay bales we can see from the house so I'm hoping we can go and have a run about there for a bit. Then I have some ironing to do so perhaps we'll all watch a dvd while I do it.

Have a good day everyone x

shouldbe · 16/08/2007 08:55

EHM poor you! I hope you get some rest today. If you're too tired for tomorrow then we can easily re-arrange...
I had a restless night, couldn't sleep, then the cat was sick all over the rug in our bedroom, the ds came in and dh moved out to the spare bed and ds continued to wriggle all night!

Morning peeps

Oh yes...I remember the lava lamp. I might find some time to do one too.

shouldbe big pat on the back for you Well done with your house. It is brilliant when it is completely defeated! Its so much easier to keep on top of isn't it. Mine is very rarely imaculate, but it is actually fairly tidy most of the time (Thanks to FLY I hasten to add)
It usually only takes a few hours to get back on top of.

I am going to tackle my airing cupboard today. It is actually not that bad but I like to put the towels seperate to sheets and blankets etc, and at the mo they are all jumbled up. I usually fold the towels neatly (Anthea style) when I can be bothered, and it really does fill me full of joy to open the door and see it all so neat!!

I'll get my coat........

agh! for you Ruby, that's the kind of thing that always happens to me! You have my sympathies

Luda I do the Anthea towel folding too Goo dluck with the airing cupboard.

I must just add that although the house is looking tidy, all cupboards and especially the utility room are out of bounds and therefore excluded from the "immaculate" decription applied to the rest of the house

EHM · 16/08/2007 10:41

shouldbe enjoy the hay bales sounds like lots of fun. I'll be fine tomorrow, anyway I want to see the immaculate houseCat sick uck...poor you. hope you have a better night. If you want to rearrange its not a problem.
ruby arrgh for you
ludagood luck with the airing cupboard

Story so far this morning Ellie has changed into naughty rascal during the night
wouldn't sit down in the bath this morning, kept looking at me with this devilish grin. As if to say you no nothing mother, after all I am nearly 15 months old far wiser than you Splash landing follows, not hurt comes up for air with devilish grin still intact. I swiftly remove chuckie from the bath.

Discover she has emptied contents of her wardrobe first 2 shelves whilst I dress quickly

Come down stairs, whilst I remove finished wash from machine. I notice she passes the kitchen heading for front door. I peak round door & say 'no Ellie the cat flap is dirty...no' She turns grins sticks her hand through the cat flap. I move towards the front door, she giggles tries to remove had quickly it gets stuckFollowed by tears.

There's more we move into the garden to hang out washing. I am talking to her & she is playing with the pegs & toddling round the decking & me. I look to put a peg in place..look bag she swiftly picks up 2 plumbs off the decking fallen from neighbours tree.
again 'no ellie..dirty..no..put them down'
chuckie then squeezing them quickly in her hands & rubs the squished plumb into her clothes...arrgh!

shouldbe · 16/08/2007 11:52

We have just had the nicest walk and play in the field We played some running races and sat and made up stories together and ran some more

FLY-wise I've stripped the beds and everything is either in the wm or on the line

Kids are drawing nicely at the table

Bliss

shouldbe · 16/08/2007 11:54

I hope Ellie gets all this naughtiness out of her system today EHM
I'd forgotten what 15mth olds are like...I'd better move some things up high again....

ludaloo · 16/08/2007 12:10

Hi

Haven't actually started the airing cupboard yet. Had to go out this morning. Got back and have missed a delivery...and they have taken it back to town

Anyway...going to fix some lunch, then I'll get on with it.

Shouldbe I'm glad I'm not the only one who has an anthea style airing cupboard!
Your morning sounds good (Its raining here so no running about in fields for us )

EHM Ellie sounds very much like my dd2! Always doing things she shouldn't be doing

EHM · 16/08/2007 12:24

shouldbe don't worry she gets told not to touch.. although she does choose to ignore I too hope she reverts back to angel status by tomorrow She has gone for a nap about 10 mins ago. So I really shouldbe quickly tidying the mess from this morning.
Washing up to date on line. Instead I signed into MN & MSN.
luda how old is your dd2? Sorry i am sure you have told me before

AufishFeQueen · 16/08/2007 12:30

Afternoon! Not long up, but have a busy day ahead.

I need to get organised for the kids to go down to Cornwall tomorrow and I have to re-pack the suitcase, get a few extra things to go into the suitcase and give the older daughter a quick haircut.

I can't believe that I am going to be without the kids for the first time in 2 and half years tomorrow and I know I'm going to be all over the place, especially when they are going to be so far away from me and with such an ass of a father.

So won't be on hardly today, as I am going to spend the day as much as I can with the kids.

EHM · 16/08/2007 12:36

enjoy your day with the kids aufish. Ellie's napping so I am going to get started.

Madwelshwoman · 16/08/2007 15:04

Afternoon All

Have to say I've fallen off the wagon recently and just come back from short holiday and a new pup so I desperately need a kick up the jacksy to get myself in gear. House was reasonably tidy before I left but the post holiday apocalypse of unpacking, laundry and new pup has taken it's toll!!

EHM · 16/08/2007 20:09

Hi madwelshwomen welcome back

Where is everybody?

tortoise · 16/08/2007 20:56

Aufish Hope all goes well with DC being at their Dads tomorrow.It will be so strange for you.

gibberish · 16/08/2007 23:26

Evening all Had to laugh at all the tales of anthea towels Yes, I have an anthea airing cupboard too

Good day today. Work went well and am off tomorrow yahoo! Got a kids party to do Saturday so am spending the day tomorrow doing a teensy bit of FLYing and making fancy dress costumes. dd3 is going as a butterfly and dd4 as a bee
