hello everyone
it's confession time

i've posted originally on the babystep thread but since i've done the flying once already and still (!) have my 'daily to-do list' - i might be better off with you ladies - if that's ok?!?!?

gosh, you all are so organised

i don't even know where to start!
we've been camping 2 weekends ago and we are still having sleeping bags and tent bits lying around - but mainly because we need to dry it properly - we had rain rain and more rain!!!

and i haven't got a fridge/freezer either! - it broke down 2 weeks ago - so kitchen looks like a bombsite - i never knew just how much things you normally store in the fridge

so, i've been busy (for my standards ) today - but someone mentioned 'oven cleaning' - that's deffinitly on my list ... for a rainy day

ludaloo · 29/08/2007 16:45

Hello and welcome mozzy

We are definately a "To Do" list thread I think it helps me remember what I'm supposed to be doing!

I did my oven today...it was getting beyond a joke I have to say though...just cooked a cottage pie in it and for the first time in ages didn't have to jump about with a tea towel under the fire alarm!!

yaddayah · 29/08/2007 17:29

welcome mozzy and twomanyballs

Phew !

Just having a sit down, dc's worn out after there friends came over to play so all is peacefull.

Just have to clear up the debris (!) in the garden and clear up the lunch stuff and its pretty much sorted.

toomanyballs · 29/08/2007 17:46

Welcome toomanyballs and Mozzy

I made it to the meet-up and it was good My kids weren't up to sitting in a cafe while grown ups chatted so we ended up wandering off with another mum and her kids for a look around A good time was had by all

We've had a lazy afternoon, not much on really and certainly no FLYing (and boy does it show!) I need to have a blitz tomorrow if I can.

I'm aiming to get the kids in bed by 7 - we're all still recovering from long days and late nights over the weekend.

Have a good evening, see you all tomorrow x

Jas · 29/08/2007 18:29

Hi,

I'm back from a busy day out. I got back to find dp had emptied his tool cupboard all over the front room, so I've had to clear it up whilst cooking dinner.

Welcome new people. I am jumping between this and the babysteps thread, ad starting to get a tad confused by new names

I bought an OM calendar last year (they run for 15 months, so it will start this Sep and run to the en of next year.I have no idea about the diaries, I don't even use a bag so I'd never keep track of one. Everything goes on mycalendar on the wall. In fat this morning I copied a blnk week to make a weekl job list to go on my fridg (the closest I get toa control journal). I will just buy a cheap version next year. I never used the stickers so if anyone wants a load, I'll pass them on.

FunkyGlassSlipper · 29/08/2007 18:48

Me please Jas.....stickers.......yes please.....please.....I'll send you my address on facebook.

mOZzy · 29/08/2007 18:55

thank you ladies

i've got one of these white wipe down boards - and the list gets longer and longer .. but nicely to tick off the chores too

i didn't get to the 'calendar' stage last time - i did then buy a planner though .. but it's still empty

well, i didn't do the oven inside just yet! but i cleaned all the trays and the 2 thingies on top of the hob (after hours of soaking them!) and very long scrubbing!!

at least dinner is ready and kids go to bed soon - i am starving!! - but t hen again it's slow cooking since yesterday

Jas · 29/08/2007 19:18

They are all yours FGS You will see just how pathetic my social life is as I have used hardly any of them. I will check for your address and send them tomorrow.

It was just me and the kids for supper this evening, so plates all washed and kitchen in order...dh has not long come back from work...he's watching the footie so I'll heat him some cottage pie.

Have a good evening all

Bewilderbeast · 29/08/2007 21:03

BigBearistheBigBear · 29/08/2007 21:42

I have come to a standstill, mmm wine.

ludaloo · 29/08/2007 21:48

Dh took one look at my cottage pie and decided he's like sausage sandwiches instead

Have unloaded the dishwasher, so I don't have to do that in the morning! I might start doing that actually....load it and run it after supper...then empty before bed.

Well I am absolutely knackered! £ crap nights sleep in a tent has caught up with me...so I'm off to wash, moisturise and pee...and climb into my nice, damp free, zip free, child free bed

N,Night all xx
