Morning Guys.

Morning routine done which is a good job as I'm out all day with pre-school committee meeting.

Have a good day everyone!

Morning all

Got most of my jobs done yesterday, including todays mission.

Well we are off to music and movement this morning, then my mum is going to look after the boys (well this consists of sitting downstairs while they have their nap for 2 hours) while I go off and have my hair done.

Workmen have turned up today - not been here for a week, so more digging, mud and stuff. it is never ending. I will need to get the floor relaid in the conservsatory when they are finnished - bohoo

Simply · 09/11/2007 09:02

Hello to all. Thanks for the thread yadda. Have you eaten brekkie Jas? Apparently we need more Christmas tree decs at home BC but I'm refusing to even think about it yet, despite the kids nagging away. I hope you enjoy putting the retail one up today.

More of the same for me today, I'm afraid, as I'm still catching up on laundry. Grrr. I also need to clean ds' trainers as he got them filthy last night and is off this w/e so needs them to go with him. Dh has left his lunch behind so he'll have to go to the corner shop for a sarnie. Hey ho. See you later.

Morning my lovelies!

Your list looks good-esp like the regular MN slots!

Up, showered , dressed, blunt razor on legs in prep for lovely pedicure this afternoon[blissful emoticon]
Made DD3's lunch and taken her to school.
Made bed, and so has DD3 to my delight!
Removed all DH's clothes festooned on chairs in bedroom("they're too clean to wash, too dirty to put away...no really" )
DW loaded and on.
Breakfast things cleaned away, surfaces wiped

Morning! Looks like it is going to snow here today Had a few flurries yesterday. Is FREEEEZING! So staying in and not going swimming...

yadda Hop to it or I'll set the electricity company on you... about you going out tonight...

jas Are things a bit more settled today?

Bianca have fun at work!

Don't think we have chatted yet have we?

FGS and simply Have a good day too!

TMH Aaargh about workmen!! Can sympathise totally. Just relax and enjoy having your hair done. A bit of 'me' time is what you need.

SMS poor dd3... why are all the children ill atm? Can viruses be spread through the computer screen?

Morning never lol at thinking Toots was a MNer She wouldn't have a chance of getting on the computer with me around. Going to put on a pic of her - she is ssoooooo tiny and fluffy.

Have I missed anyone? Hope not! Easy day today. Lots of schoolwork and reading to do with the girls but no housework. Everything is DONE DONE DONE, including all the missions .

Be back in a tic.

Grouchyoscar · 09/11/2007 10:30

Morning ALL

I have my interview at 11:40 so as I'm washed, bathed and my hair is tidy I am procrastinating so I don't get messed up/stressed.

I sorted most stuff out last night. Laid my clothes out, got my info ready, got Ed's school stuff ready, cleaned shoes DH comitting to do the main morning routine. All OK

NO

Ed wakes up and wants to watch TV so piles into our room LOUDLY...at 5:35 . DH gets grumpy and I take him back to his room and put his Hairy Maclary CD on.

And he comes back. DH grumpier than Daddy Pig

So I settle him again

And he comes back again

So I give up, get up and

Wash
Wash Ed
S&S bathroom
S&S loo
Go downstairs
Empty Dw
Put away
Make breakfast (boiled eggs and soilders, how ace is that?)
serve up
Tidy away
Vac downstairs
S&S worktops
Shine sink
Buff shoes
Help DS with the stuff for getting Ed ready

I am working on the premis that if I get the job I may as well get used to this

So the morning routine done with minimal assistance.

God I feel mega queasy. I'm going now...byeeeee

Morning.(Yawn)! I didn't get much sleep. DD2 had a temp on and off all night and i couldn't sleep properly. She is fine in herself but still quite warm this morning. I am ok other than tired!

Good luck GO.
Bianca Have fun putting the tree up. Time to get my decs out soon.

I should be tidying up but i need to get motivated and wake up a bit! Even the cold air walking the other 3 to school didn't wake me up.

NAB3littlemonkeys · 09/11/2007 10:49

gibberish I keep wanting to join in but don't get past clicking on the mission and thinking how the heck am I going to get all that done? What do you do with your kids while you are doing all the jobs?

Simply · 09/11/2007 10:55

Good luck grouchy!

I've had a cup of tea and some toast and a quick game of chess. Now I'm having about 5 mins of MN so I'll keep it brief.

I've done quite a bit but I'll do a done list later when it looks more impressive.

See you later!

SlightlyMadStuffing · 09/11/2007 11:16

Just back from Drs (who was running 45mins late...). She has a few slight but deep crackles so he wants to treat aggressively to prevent pneumonia..so she is on high dose Abs. She is OK in herself but v chesty & v snotty.

DP & I realised as I was about to leave that neither of us had given her breakfast - so I am curretnly feeding her choc buttons. I have a bar of galaxy for comfort too....

Will catch up with thread when I sit down to lunch, right now I am going to blitz upstairs as DD3 will play independantly upstairs much better than downstairs.

Back later...

Neverenough · 09/11/2007 11:17

Back again!

gibberish have you just decided to cut out sleeping altogether?

grouchy good luck with the interview!
yadda have a fab evening!
bianca have fun putting up tree at work-I love Christmas trees!
FGS an all day meeting for pre-school!!! Hope it's fun!
TMH enjoy your hair appt and thanks-you have reminded me to book mine!
SMS and simply hope you gets lots done and then can sit down with a nice cup of tea(really does cure everything!)
NAB I know how you feel about being overwhelmed-my timer is the key for me-it really is amazing what you can get done in 15 minutes
Tortoise hello-hope you find some motivation-maybe some music on?

Hope everyone's littlies get better soon!

Does anyone do a special dinner for Thanksgiving? Whilst I know it is an American tradition, it is a rather nice idea don't you think?

Right-I have done:

Vacuumed and dusted in sitting room and plumped up cushions and resited the migrating rug.
Vacuumed dining room
WM on
Off to a friend's for coffe and en route to the newspaper and bottle bank!
Back later! having a good day so far!

Neverenough · 09/11/2007 11:19

SMS hope DD responds quickly to the ABs. Sorry the GP was running late-if it's any consolation it's very hard to run to time as if you see a sick patient you just have to give them as long as it takes.

tortoise · 09/11/2007 11:19

I have managed to load TD and reload WM. I will need to be ready to sit on it when it spins to stop it jumping across the floor!!

DD2 wants cuddles now so i can't do anymore for a few mins

gibberish · 09/11/2007 11:20

Aaargh just typed out loads of things then lost it..

tort good morning You should take it easy today - you are entitled as you as sleep deprivation can be a very serious thing

yadda lol. My magic powers are clearly crap - i can't make them do the housework for me

go GO go GO go GO Hope it goes well for you. Let us know all the gory details later.

NAB although I have 4 my girls are a bit older than lots on here. My youngest is 6 and eldest is 14 so they can help a fair bit. They are HE'd so I get the house done in between answering all sorts of random questions whilst they are doing their work You may find it less daunting to have a go at the babysteps first, if you are new to FLYing. There is another thread with loads on it who are more or less starting to get into the routines. Not trying to push you out as you are MORE than welcome Just don't want you to be put off by our rather endless (and occasionally terrifying) lists on here.

yaddayah · 09/11/2007 11:22

Waves to tort sms hope your dd recovers quickly

Welcome to nab

Wave to all

Right must get on
