mORNING lADIES [SMILE]

OOps caps on!

I have my friends DD1 here this morning, she has earache poor mite, and my friend has to work this morning so I'm watching her.
DS is at home today too, I have a meeting with his the nursery leader and the chairperson for the committee later this morning. I decided to write an official complaint, so a meeting has been called.

I then have my welsh lesson, and then have to whizz back to pick DD1 up from school. I have done all my morning routine already this morning, so I'm ahead. Won't get much more done today though I don't think.

Hope you all have a good day

tortoise · 12/11/2007 10:52

Morning,
DD1 is home today. Temp was still up this morning. She is ok in herself the same as DD2 was last week.

I really have to get on top of the mess here. Its getting me down.

So, i will start by completly cleaning both the bathroom and upstairs loo!

WM is on and 1st load is on the line.

TheMadHouse · 12/11/2007 11:41

Morning all

Well we have done the morning routine and been to mums and toddlers. DS2 has a hugh bump on his forhead where a litle girl pushed him over , all because he had the pram and baby she wanted.

I have lunch on the go and dinner in the slow cooker, so organised there.

I will do the mission and hotspots when the boys are in bed. Builders are back and drilling and moving waste pipes and stuff from the bathroom, so I hope they are quite when the LO are in bed.

tortoise · 12/11/2007 12:09

TMH Your poor DS. Hope his bump goes down soon.

So far i have
Emptied DS1's beanbag to wash. Dreading re-filling it!
Cleaned mould off bathroom walls.
Cleaned tiles.
Wiped down medicine cabinet.
Wiped part of the floor.
Cleaned loo
Got good vibrations from holding wm in.

I have done my mission do yippe and dont all the ironing, bar DH's shirts. I had to turn the iron off as the builders needed to turn off the electric.

All put away bars DS2's, but will do that soon. Boys are up and having a drink whilst watching big cook little cook.

BiancaCastafiore · 12/11/2007 15:42

I'm finally home (for all of another 30mins before I have to collect dd and a friend who's coming back for tea)
I've done a load of errands and a big supermarket shop so have been quite productive.

I need to spend the evening baking a load of cookies ready for Friday - does anyone have a recipe for cookies which keep their shape well? I have a detailed cutter to use.

FGS hope you're feeling brighter now.
yadda just played your link, made me , weren't Wham great?!
Luda Hope your busy day has gone OK
Tortoise you've done well today
Grouchy and TMH hello

Hi...

I'm writing this listening to your tune yadd (I can't stand George Micheal, but I do like this tune, if only for the fact it reminds me of a very dear friend who is George Micheal MAD!)

bianca...busy day very busy...had to leave welsh early to pick kids up, and shoot over to get DD1....had a meeting with DS's nursery leader...I think we have an agreement now...I'm going to stay with him for a bit until things get a bit better...I think its a shame to keep him at home when he misses out on the activities he does enjoy.

tort hope your DD1 is feeling a bit better

FGS ah ha! a guinea pig link! Thanks for thinking of us all!!!

Madhouse hope all is well with the building, and ouch for your DS hope his head is ok now.

Well Hi to anyone I've missed...I have to do some online banking now and then sort supper.

SlightlyMadStuffing · 12/11/2007 19:13

Just a quickie....does anyone want a useless DP????

gibberish you seemed keen last week?????

Anyway I must do this mission on Thurs when I am off...it is needed at Chez SMS...

tortoise · 12/11/2007 20:06

Evening all.
DD1 seems fine now. She should be back to school tomorrow. School photos tomorrow too. I have to get there early to have all 4 done together!
Found out tonight my friend had her baby yesterday. i am so happy for her. Can't wait to meet him .

Haven't got anything done this afternoon apart from cooking tea!

DD2 is at pre-school tomorrow morning so hopefully i can clean the front room.

Please keep fingers crossed for me. Someone has offered a child bike seat on freecycle and i have asked for it. Desperate for one to put DD2 on my new bike.

tortoise · 12/11/2007 20:55

Had an email from freecycler. It has already been offered. Very unfair because i emailed within 30mins of the time on their message on freecycle. I thought you were suppose to wait for a while before promising it to someone.To give others a chance to ask for it.

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 12/11/2007 21:44

You like it?
(Although i seem to be talking to my self tonight! )

SlightlyMadStuffing · 12/11/2007 21:50

Still DP came to bed at 2:20...he fell asleep on sofa.
