Still waiting for the man to replace the thermostat he said lunch time....
I hope he comes soon...I'm in need of a bath.

Have come home and found the house is still a mess really thought I'd made progress this morning
The kids are both v tired so I'll be running them a bath in a minute nd while it's running I'm going to run the hoover round upstairs.

I hoovered the whole house today and DH didn't notice, even though I last did it TWO WEEKS AGO

BigBearistheBigBear · 30/08/2007 19:18

grouchyoscar your list puts me to shame. am impressed with your energy

Jas · 30/08/2007 19:25

I get cross when I do extra stuff and it isn't noticed. I bet you'll get comments once ou start the decluttering. Even my dp noticed when I did it the first time.

I had 11 kids here all afternoon, and as soon as the last oes left, ds fell and cut open the back of his head. He only had the stitches taken out of his face this morning. Lckily it isn't as bad, and I've steristripped it..

I've even managed to restore the house to some semblance of cleanliness, and just need to shine the sink before bed.

Sorry your day wasn't as good as you were hoping GO Did Ed enjoy it?

Did the repair man turn up ludaloo? FGS I forgot to post your stickers today when I was out. I will do it in the morning.

I remember you too Squatchette (I may havebeen Jelley when you were here before) I hope things are easier for you with a tracheostomy free dd[smle] You'll get loads done once they are both settled at school and nursery.

w/m is running non stop too

BigBearistheBigBear · 30/08/2007 20:21

Jas hope your DS is feeling ok.

Decluttering is desperately needed in this house...

tortoise · 30/08/2007 20:35

Any advice here gratefully received.

ludaloo · 30/08/2007 21:48

Hello

jas and Mozzy he did turn up...at 6.15 pm (hardly lunch time now is it!
Anyway...I had a nice (but late) bath Thank you both for asking

tort my DD1 LOVED Anxious too! we bought a soft anxious toy and she still cuddles it now! I was pregnant with DD2 when we last went (she's 2 now) I remember the song too!....oh how it brings it all back.
Hope you don't loose your internet BTW! Hopefully see you tomorrow xx

Well, I'm knackered...DH is still at work (he's very busy at the mo)

I have been sat here signing up for this Facebook thing everyone is raving about...I've had invites from friends wanting me to sign up, so I thought I'd check it out.
It seems good fun, everyone says its addictive....I can't actually work most of it out TBH! I'm not very computer literate at the best of times!
Its nice to see some of my friends on there though

Well I'll catch you all tomorrow. Sweet Dreams xx

tortoise · 30/08/2007 22:11

Luda DD1 has an anxious teddy too. Hearing the song daily just makes me what to be there again. I think we will be regular Haven goers!

BigBearistheBigBear · 30/08/2007 22:12

ludaloo I've signed up to Facebook recently after DH pestered me for ages. I'm on there but not using it much as my rl mummy-type friends are not really computer users so not much point for me!

Right, bathtime.
