I meant to post more, but ds has got hold of my wrapping paper and unrolled it all.
DD2 is not well, so she will be off school. My parents are visiting, and dp is supposed to be puting in new joists upstairs, and making a stud wall today. I suspect I won't get muc FLYing done, so don't be surprised if you don't see me again. I will try and pop back tonight.

Here is the almost-finished shed, for all those who have followed he decade long building of it

Hello lovely ladies. Am getting to grips wiht my house these days but back in the NHS with full time job has meant less time here. Glad to see you are all well although hope your DD gets better soon jas. My DD1 has a cello exam today so is having a lie in!

BiancaCastafiore · 23/11/2007 07:53

Welcome back Jas and glitter, good to see you both

I have to get the kids out to school so will come back later x

TheMadHouse · 23/11/2007 08:43

Morning all

Well I spoke too soon last night, so another crappy night in the Mad household.

DS1 is very hyper and I am beyond shattered. Mum is still on holiday and BF still off her feet, so no support for a very tired and grumpy MH today. At least it is Friday, but DH is out at clients so no chance of hom getting home early.

I now have to restle to get steriods in to DS1 - so wish me luck. at least we are managing to keep him ut of hospital this time.

I will catch up later if I can get the boys off for a nap.

BiancaCastafiore · 23/11/2007 09:09

Oh, TMH that all sounds dreadful, you must be exhausted, poor you I hope today is a better day for you x

I think I'm needed at work today although it all seems a bit vague - it's all dependant on a delivery coming in at a certain time.
I'm not very good at being on standby and find it difficult to get stuck into jobs at home when I'll be waiting for the possible call into work.

Still, get on I must! I have loads of catching up to do after my sickly week.

I must at least~

Morning!

Jas Shed is looking GOOD! Definitely shed-like anyway. When is the rest of the work due to be finished, if ever? Give your dd a cuddle from me.

Hello GF Lovely to 'see' you! You must be a miracle woman working full-time. Really don't know how you do it. Tried working a 4 day week for a while and it nearly killed me.

TMH No wonder you are knackered. Enjoy your nap. Maybe you can sleep all weekend while dh is at home??

Morning bianca I know how you feel about the standby thing. If I know I am due to be somewhere at some point, I can't seem to get my teeth into anything all day.

Well, today don't really have anything in the house to do, except the washing as everything is done! Taking the girls out to an art club type thing in a little while then will try to get some treasury work done this afternoon.

Will pop back later. Have a good day!

Shannaratiger · 23/11/2007 09:36

JenT · 23/11/2007 09:57

Morning all,
Have done dishwasher, washing machine unloaded and re-loaded, hoovered downstairs, tidied toys, taken DS1 to school (DH away with work)just about to takle the ironing that I would have done if I hadn't taken DS1 to school.

Still have to do a food shop - make some veggie soup - REMEMBER to put away the ironing! Spurred on by Shanna if I get chance will clean the insides of the windows, (window cleaner came yesterday it made me realise that the dirt is on the inside!)

Hope everyone has a good day.

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 23/11/2007 10:10

Morning.

Its a cold one!
Have gas now but will be leaving heating off until tonight. Costs too much otherwise!

Nice to see you jas and glitterfairy TMH sorry you had another bad night. Hope it all better soon.
Bianca Hope you get some bits done incase you get called into work.

Hello to everyone else.

I do have loads to do but 1st i have to try and win an item on Ebay! Same item i wanted for dd2 but was out of stock in town. Fingers crossed i get it!

BiancaCastafiore · 23/11/2007 10:45

Morning Tort, Jen, gibberish and Tiger

I've just had the call from work so will head off as soon as I get out of my housework clothes and into something more suitable for work.

I've been getting on rather well so far [smug]

~hoover and dust downstairs done
~hoover and dust upstairs
~s&s kitchen done

I have only put wm on!
Don't dare leave the comp incase i miss the end of Ebay item.
Still nearly an hour to go lol

yaddayule · 23/11/2007 11:08

Hi all !

Busy busy

Have done pta stuff (are you sure no one want a bloody lottery ticket? )
Made beef stew (currently wafting yummy smells from the slow cooker)
Loaded d/w
Ironed (just 2 work shirts left to do!)
One wash on
Sorted socks
Had cup of coffee
Had healthy breakfast (superfood granola with natural bio yoghurt .. it was scrum)

Healthy breakfast due to the fact that after going clothes shopping yesterday and discovering a rather charming belly roll which was visible from space despite any form of control item I have come to the conclusion that the stone I have failed to shift since the winey summer holidays MUST go (especially as have a girls night out planned for 3 weeks time and they're all impossibly glam )

tort hope it warms up for you !
Welcome back shanna and glitter (I did my inside kitchen windows last week they were grim !)
jas yep thats a big ole shed you've almost got there !
madhouse sorry ypu're having a rough time of it

If i've forgotten anyone a cheery wave as i've managed to lose the thread so can't go back and check !

Laters dudarino's

yaddayule · 23/11/2007 11:09

Oh and gibberish i'm not talking to you as you've got a tidy house [sulkemoticon]

Wave to bianca

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 23/11/2007 11:56

I won the item on Ebay!!!!!! DD2 is going to love it. And i saved £13 off price in The Entertainer toy shop!(££21 if i don't count postage!)

Ooops

TheMadHouse · 23/11/2007 13:25

how cool

BiancaCastafiore · 23/11/2007 14:04

Aww, she'll love that I'm sure tort

I had a hectic couple of hours at work but am home again now with very little time to get re-motivated FLYwise before I go and collect the dcs...need to get on and regain some control upstairs (bomb site) but I'm not sure I can face it now....

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 23/11/2007 14:14

Wow Bianca you got all your work done quickly.

DD2 will totally love it! She is Fifi mad. Was tricky trying to watch the item and bid with her trying to look. Lol!

BiancaCastafiore · 23/11/2007 14:24

Tort
I needed to be home in time to run the hoover round before dd and ds come home or it'll never get done - Fridays are our lazy afternoons I'm back at work for the day tomorrow so at least have several jobs ready to get on with in the morning.
SiL is visiting tomorrow too so I'd like the house to be tidier than it is now...

Only 20 minutes before I need to leave for school...must get on!
