Hello everyone

tort....aww what a bargain! I hope she likes it...I know my girls would!

Well I have not stopped today!

~Dropped DS and DD1 off at school/nursery
~Cleaned the shed out so I could collar the coal man to fill the coal bunker up, and he could get to it without breaking a limb!
~Collared the coal man and now we have lots of coal...so I cleaned the fire out and re lit it.
~Went to the doctors....now have a slightly higher dosage of my tablet....see how these go now.
~Bought a HUUUGE bag of wood shavings for the piggies....its actually for horses and the bag only just fitted in the boot (and we have an estate ) all for £6!!!. Now in the nice tidy shed ready for use.
~Picked DS up and went to park...and FROZE!
~Bought a new metal bin for the hot ashes, as the other one disintergrated!!
~Put two big hooks up on the back of the downstairs loo door for DH to hang his overalls and fleece on (instead of dumping them in a heap by the front door)
~Hoovered
~Wiped kitchen worktops
~Moved the bookshelf from one side of the room to the other, so I can put the lamp on the top (plug was on wrong side of the room....typical!)
~Polished tv and cabinet, fireplace, mirror, computer desk and bookshelf
~Um...that's about it

So now I'm knackered and I have made my back ache pulling the bookshelf (DUH!) couldn't be bothered to take all the books off so just dragged it.

Right...better get on, still bits and bobs to do before picking DD1 up

Hi Guys

Like Jas, I am not zoning or doing the missions this week either.

Lovely shed Jas.

I have just managed to sort out the play room though...

Simply · 23/11/2007 15:27

Hello to all. Sorry I'm not on much. Just a quick post to say I hope all are fine. I am, just overwhelmed by so much to do atm. I hope to have some spare time before too long so I can come back on these threads but hi bye for now!

Simply · 23/11/2007 15:31

Forgot to say (doh!) to oodles that there are coupons in our local paper this week for the supermarket at the bottom of the hill. I've even bought a second paper as I shop there all the time so a 60p payout on the paper for a £3 and £4 coupon off future purchases (over £30 and £40 respectively for a set time period only) makes for a good saving. I know you don't shop there much but I thought I'd mention it.

Done the food prep. Just got to hang up the washing now but I'm listening to Radio 5s Film Reviews...My Friday afternoon treat

BiancaCastafiore · 23/11/2007 15:45

Hello again

Can I just announce that I am very proud of dd who after several weeks of panicking about Friday maths tests today got 20 out of 20 She is soooo pleased with herself! She also got 10/10 for spellings so I'm doubly proud

(all bad language probs earlier in the week are a distant memory!)

JenT · 23/11/2007 15:53

Bianca - your DD sounds brilliant! hoe old is she?

Have been distracted by my Mum being here this afternoon but have dinner prepared - am hoping to clear out the toy box in the sittingroom sometime today need to put things back up in DS1's room.. they migrate downstairs!

We are away for the weekend so even though I can't do much stuff we won't be here making it messy!

BiancaCastafiore · 23/11/2007 16:04

She's 6 1/2 Jen
Off anywhere nice for the weekend?

JenT · 23/11/2007 16:13

to my sisters house.. It is going to be great!

6 1/2 wow having to do spelling tests and stuff already! sounds like she is taking it all in her stride though

BiancaCastafiore · 23/11/2007 16:55

she takes the spellings in her stride but dreads the maths which is why I'm so proud of her today
Have a great weekend away I'll be stuck at work all day tomorrow We have no plans for Sunday though so I hope to have a lazy day with the kids and dh

JenT · 23/11/2007 17:01

lazy days sounds so good don't they! Have a great weekend

FrostyGlassSlipper · 23/11/2007 17:25

Ok I've done nothing flylady has told me to do all week but I have sorted the playroom, watered all my plants. cleaned the piano and all the window sills in the dining room. Kitchen is cleared too and sink is almost shiny

Later I have to hoover everywhere downstairs and then mop the floors as we have people coming over tomorrow.

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 23/11/2007 17:30

I have a fat nose! Was playing with dd2 on the floor when her chin conected with my nose! I was very painful and made a horrible noise. Luckily just fat now and not really hurting.
DS's have gone to their Dads so just me and the girls tonight.

BiancaCastafiore · 23/11/2007 17:43

Ouch Tort hope you're OK!

FGS you sound as though you've had a busy week Hope you have fun with your visitors tomorrow.

Dh is home so I'm running myself a bath while he supervises the end of supper and watches bedtime hour with the dcs

See you all later/tomorrow x

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 23/11/2007 18:05

I am ok thanks Bianca. It is a little sore on one side. Enjoy your bath.

TheMadHouse · 23/11/2007 18:08

evening all

Tort hope the nose is OK
FGS please come and mop my floors too, I did it at lunchtime, but the cat has dragged his bum - poo
Bianca ummmmmm bath
jas Shed looks so big, are you moving DH into it for taking so long?
Jen Enjoy your weekend

Waves to Yadda, Jibbersh, GO and anyone else I have missed.

Where is Neverenough this week????

Jas · 23/11/2007 20:43

Evening, and thanks everyone for still remembering me

Yes the shed is bigger than our bedroom

DD2 is still not well She's been asleep in bed since before 6, so she must be feeling really bad!

I hope your nose is ok Tortoise FGS - I've done lots, too but haven't even kept track of what I'm supposed to be doing. Enjoy your weekend.
