Mornin Jas and Fly ladies.

Where did the BH weekend go?

Definately need to tackle the LR.
Might try and cull a few toys too ().

ludaloo · 28/08/2007 08:07

Morning jas , morning scatty

Well one more night in the tent over and done with. Next door woke me up at gawd knows what time, feeding her dogs, and yelling at them from the top her lungs!!!

DD1 wants just her and her friend to sleep in there tonight...which is fine by me!!!!!!! (although I am not sure her friend will go along with that, I don't think she has ever slept in a tent before)
Luckily our bedroom overlooks the garden, so I could make sure the window stays open so I can hear them we'll see....I'm probably going to be too paranoid to let them go it alone...plus they will be up and down like fiddlers elblows!

jas well done with your thread. It has motivated me too, so thank you

I'm going to have a quick whip round before I have to go and swop my DS for my friends DD1.

Back to school next Tuesday
This holiday has whizzed by. DD1 hasn't done her homework yet either! Haven't been shopping for new shoes either yet!!!

Well, 2nd load of washing out on the line, although there is a big black cloud looming!
Last night in the tent tonight, going to take DS and pick up DD1's friend in a little while.
Water heater has broken again and I have replaced the fuse, and still no joy...
DD2 is asleep on the sofa, DS is asking when he is going...every 2 minutes! DD1 is playing with a friend in the tent.

Better get on

yaddayah · 28/08/2007 15:04

Slinks in

Afternoon !
Waves to all bigbear i've never heard of a cat behaviour hotline before My cat is a bit bizarre (she's currently trying to smother my dd's babyborn doll )
luda well done on persevering with the tent .. I'm a hopeless sleeper anyway and wouldn't have slept a wink
So far my done list is :

Up/showered/dressed
D/W emptied and restocked (where does it all come from ??)
Bus into town with dc's to change library books/buy new pj's (realised dd is still wearing aged 18 month ones she's now 3 and a half so they're very cropped) and new school uniform bits for ds
Culled (with ds's permission) a whole pile of old cbeebies magazines (he's "far" too grown up for them now)
10 min hot spot (kitchen)

Ds tidied his bedroom !!

House still a mess so need to get on but its progress I suppose

Back with an update later

ludaloo · 28/08/2007 15:15

I'm a hopeless sleeper of late too yadd....next door woke me at 4am!! I asked her today what time it was when she was feeding her dogs...4am!! (WTF??)She said she couldn't sleep so she fed the animals.
I then got woken just as it was getting lighter by a wood pigeon
I didn't even get to sleep until god knows when....the lad next door had a walkman on but I could hear his music still! He then kept coughing, then DD1 started her snoring... LOL!!!
Anyway last night tonight, then I can safely say I've done my bit. DH offered to do tonight, as he commented how tired I looked .... but that would well and truly freak DD1's friend out who is very shy as it is!

grouchyoscar · 28/08/2007 16:29

Reading materials...Nope Kelly. I can't do it...There all Ed's phonics and cat in the hat books. I'm hoping having them about will encourage him to start reading. Clutter for the greater good that.

Oh....Hello ALL

DH is off sick...Tummy and botty trouble The bedroom and bathroom whiff a bit so I keep popping in for a S&S while he's not there as I don't want to upset him.

Ed's been pretty good today. He didn't run away in Tesco when I bought the picnic supplies or run away in town either. Even when I was chatting to a friend I haven't seen for nearly 2 years. And he carried a bag to the bus station too.

Jas · 28/08/2007 18:34

My old cat used to bite my toes if they were poking out of the end of the bed. I just got used to wearing socks to bed, or makin sure §i was all tucked in.

ludaloo · 28/08/2007 19:17

Ooooh Jas whats that new fancy squiggley thing?? Is that on your new keyboard (2 s's on top of each other)[impressed emoticon]

I've just had a rather weird cleaning attack! I cleaned the grill pan...the george forman, the microwave and the basket out of my new fryer (never had a fryer before!! decided to buy one at the weekend, so we have had fried chips for the first time at home this week [unhealthy but yummy [emoticon!])

Well I have a bit of a house full...of girls mainly...dh has gone back to work, and they are playing mum's and babies (not mum's and dad's as no one wants to be a boy )

I'd better go and get all their PJ's ready...Last night out Hoorah!

ludaloo · 28/08/2007 19:22

jas lol at your dd and her friend clipping the grass! Thats the sort of thing mine do! The girl across the road knocks on my door to see if I want my path swept!? My usual answer is "If you want to sweetheart!"
She goes next door too! I do reward her with ice pops or something though...so not entirely free child labour!!

ludaloo · 28/08/2007 19:23

GO what does Spatchcock mean? (dim I know )

Jas · 28/08/2007 19:32

I've no idea ludaloo I keep hitting it by accident. The picture o the keyboard is a backslash. I don't know what I'll do if I need a backslash.
