Today's mission still isn't up

Good morning grouchy I hope you are in bed now after your late night.

I am really going to try and have a good clear up today. My routines are icking along, but I've done nothng o top ofthem fo the whole week, andI need to do more.

I've got a quiet day planned (have to go back to school for dd2s assembally but don'tneed to go anywhere else today) so I'm hoping to be popping on here to keep myself motivated.

BiancaCastafiore · 28/09/2007 07:17

Good morning Jas and grouchy

I'll be back once the kids are out of my hair
( they are both boarderline poorly with colds but I think they'll be up to a day at school...)

ludaloo · 28/09/2007 07:27

Morning Ladies

I don't actually have enough clothes to do the mission! If I started flinging like a loon, I'd have nothing left!

I've got to help DH deliver a car back to a customer this morning....then I will be back to get on with the house.

We have a fair in the village and the kids are mega excited...I have a feeling the rides will all be too big though...they look lethal!...I am praying for rain, then I won't be the meany pants who says no!! it will be the rains fault.

Well...better get on, see you all later x

Jas I think luda doesn't drink tea or coffee and I'm not sure if she drinks water.

Back in a mo once I've re-read the thread and am ready to do my own post.

Simply · 28/09/2007 08:50

grouchy Thanks for the thread.

luda Don't worry, I won't out you, but I do believe a certain gorgeous (to me, anyway!) Welsh singer/actor is coming to your village tonight - is that right?

Hi Funky I can relate to that. I was very tempted to get rid of my size 14 stuff last year as it was way too big, now the 12s only just fit and the 14s are very much needed.

Hello to all.

I've done some jobs and have more to do so I'm going to get showered and dressed ready to tackle the housework. I did quite a bit yesterday - if I'd made a list I could've had some satisfaction ticking it off! - but need to hoover and stuff today. See you later.

BigBeeristheBigBeer · 28/09/2007 09:12

For the benefit of HarleyD: unpack groceries in my list should in fact read put petrol in car . Put those groceries down!

When I was sorting out my undies drawer yesterday I found a load of knickers that I had around the time I got married in a SIZE 8!!!! Now I'm bulging out of a 12 and that's only four years ago. Sob.

I am a greedy cow, mind!

luda you need to force some water down you. Coke's norty!

Where's babypowder gone? I want to know if she's finished David Nobbs yet .

i am addicted to pepsi max....

blossomsmine · 28/09/2007 11:26

hoovering done. Might leave the half damp stuff in the washing basket....looks like it is almost dry....will it smell if i do that?? Not smelly yet....

Simply · 28/09/2007 11:33

Hello to all. Mustn't spend too much time MNing (have just been reading a house prices thread and earlier today I read a "why does this mum dislike me" thread which was interesting and had people coming up with funny responses and ideas. Sorry. I shouldn't say that or I'm tempting you to go and read it and lose half an hour, too!)

Hi BC. Sorry, I haven't been in touch for a bit. Have you heard anything from the school re: dd? If not and you get to the end of lunch break time, then she must be fine.

blossomsmine Tut tut for the half damp stuff in the basket. Do you have an airer you can put it on? Mine is sometimes in the conservatory if it is very warm in there and sometimes in front of the real fire or a radiator. You don't want to have to wash it all over again.

Ok. Must crack on. I have an hour until I need to get ready to go out. Will put the timer on.

Jas · 28/09/2007 11:43

Yes blossom it will smell if you leave it....I speak from experience

Simply I am ignoring your post tempting me away from the housework Infact I am not even here now. I am in fact upstairs working in my bedroom.

Coke - bleurgh. But then I don't like anythig fizzy.

I've finished my morning routine, my afternoon routine and extra bthroom work.

I'm going o do all this weeks missions now if I can.

I know what you mean re throwing away clothes. I gave away all my smaller stuff after I had dd2, and in 2 years had to buy more. Luckily I have a friend the same size as me who is addicted to charity shop buying so I get her cast offs too.

A playdate involving wine would be wonderful today yaddayah . I have a trip to the dentst after school

BiancaCastafiore · 28/09/2007 11:55
