Oh...found some washing to do as I stripped the kids beds.....It feels strange when the washing machine isn't on...so had to create some washing!!!! Kids beds all freshly made now though.

DD2's bed had rice and crisps in it! actually she slept in our bed last night, and DH got into hers! I'm suprised he didn't notice!!!!

scattyspice · 26/09/2007 12:33

Post cold energy Ludaloo? I need some of that.

Am at work just now.
Managed to wash up before school.
After school DS has jabs at GP.

Will try and dust sometime.

blossomsmine · 26/09/2007 12:35

You lot have done so much....i am jealous!!

Luda, looks like you are feeling better{smile]
My cold is still crap...not doing much again, used to feel on top of things now it is all getting out of hand again. Got to iron something in a minute so i can pick the kids up from school....ironing is that bad at the moment!
Just slowly doing morning routine. Then will do dinner take dd to after school club back at 6.45 then if feel ok will iron then have a bath.
Hope i am back working hard with you all soon.

ludaloo · 26/09/2007 14:13

I feel looooooaads better thanks
Hope you pick up again soon blossom scatty energy vibes comming your way

Well I have also
~Put 3 loads of washing away (from yesterday)
~Put 1 load away (bed spreads)
~Put last load in the dryer just now
~Dusted downstairs...tidied up the computer desk
~Tidied food cupboards and thrown out empty cereal packets, bread ends that have been in the bread bin for god knows how long! and thrown all the crap and empty boxes out of the freezer.
~Sorted out DD2's clothes and put some in a bag that she has out grown (or summer stuff she won't fit in next year) for friends DD.

Just left is the kitchen surfaces. D/W is on, so that will need emptying too.

I am off food shopping once I have picked DD1 up from school...we soooo need it now...it looks even more desperate now I've chucked the empty boxes and tatty bits!!!

Jas · 26/09/2007 15:07

I have spent all day running errands for dp, and haven't done a thing at home, since my morning routine.

I haven't even looked at a mission this week.
I have to hoover and tidy at least, so I will do that before the school run.

Hello to all. Sorry, I've only skimmed through the thread and this will just be a quickie as I'm about to get the kids off to bed. I'll be on the thread tomorrow. Have a good evening one and all!

tortoise · 26/09/2007 21:25

Evening all.
Well, modem didn't turn up so no BroadBand today .
Been out a lot today with school runs and mother and toddler group.
I really must make the most of a free morning tomorrow.DD2 will be at pre-school until 12. I need to make the house presentable for DD1's teacher to do a visit to chat about how she is doing so far and to find out if DD1 will be starting full time school next week.

Lunches are done and kitchen tidy so i am doing ok tonight for once!
Bath soon then bed. Been really tired this afternoon.

Hope everyone is ok. All i saw were long scary lists when i scanned through the thread.

blossomsmine · 26/09/2007 21:50

Impressive!! When i am feeling back to normal i am going to get good at this just like you lot!!
Glad you have all had a good day!
I am ironing now but won't do all of it.
See you all tomorrow.
