Monday's Mission

Morning Everyone

Well Dh and I both have full blown colds
We managed to sort the living room out though...and my Dh did pretty much the entirity of my afternoon and evening routine!! (every now and then he makes up for his usual lack of helpfulness, and when he does, he does it in style) So I don't have to rush about this morning, which is great as I feel like poo!

Have my contraception jab today, and my first Welsh lesson (trust me to be ill....but I'm going anyway)

I have to nip to the chemist too and pick up some cold stuff...

Catch you all later

Morning ludaloo

I am doig my routines properly [smug] now that I have finished babystepping. I have got most of the morning routine done already.
I will be out for most of the day, as I'm baking in the morning and shopping this afternoon for dd2s birthday (tomorrow) so I'll catch up with you all later on.

Jas · 24/09/2007 07:16

X posted - Yay ! fo the helpful DH. I hope the colds don't last long.

ludaloo · 24/09/2007 07:21

Thanks Jas I think I must be in the thick of it now, I slept better last night than the night before, so hopefully it won't get any worse.

Have a good day, hope the birthday preps go ok

Morning Guys.

I'm doing my routines properly too. Glad to have babystepped again.

Morning routine nearly complete.

After I have dropped DD to Pre-school I will clear stairs (hotspot) and hoover (part of blessing)

Bewilderbeast · 24/09/2007 09:31

Morning all

I'm at home today as DS is poorly and has been up all night so my mission for today is to de-clutter as much of the house as possible whilst dealing wiht a snotty angry feverish 11 month old. Wish me luck!

ludaloo · 24/09/2007 10:04

I have just driven all the way to the doctors, only to find I have the wrong time....how can I get it so wrong! My appointment is at 4pm! I have written 9.15 am...either the receptionist was distracted or I really was away with the fairies! Either way...I've got to go all the way back again. (I also have to go to the same village at 1pm for my Welsh lesson....3 trips....12 mile round trip each time
OH I WISH I HAD A BRAIN! I could have planned today waaaaay better than I have!

Never mind....

Well better get on and tidy up...my friend is comming round to look after the kids while I go back to the next village for my lesson. LOLOLOLOLOLOL!! I am actually very worried that I'm going to have to actually use this brain of mine!

Its quiet this morning! Hope you are all ok...

I have sneezed my way around this morning, but the place is looking ok.

Just a quick hoover then thats me done for this morning

OP posts:
FunkyGlassSlipper · 24/09/2007 10:57

Hope DS is better soon BWB

And lol 'oh dear' @ ludaloo for your mix up.

I have my morning routine complete. I've done 5 minutes with the stuff on the stairs but most of it is DHs so will get him to sort the rest later.

I have done the mission on my dressing table and have also polished the mirrors in the house and watered all of my plants.

Amazing what you can do when there are no distractions (DD ill sleeping)

Bewilderbeast · 24/09/2007 11:26

Hope you & your lo's are all well?

Lisa & Ellie.x.x.

glitterfairy · 24/09/2007 18:46

Hello all. How are you all? I have a headache but have been busy tidying, cooking tea drying washing and looking after my babes.

Bewilderbeast · 24/09/2007 20:12

Docs have said if DS doesn't pick up this evening or start taking liquids then he will have to go into hospital.

Jas · 24/09/2007 20:19

BewilderBeast. If he needs to go, then it must be the best for him, and hopefully he will get over it quicker.

blossomsmine · 24/09/2007 23:13
