Goodness go You have been busy - put me to shame. I'm still in holiday mode - hence still sitting here when I've got masses to do and am back to work tomorrow

Hope Ed gets on fine tomorrow at school. Or more to the point that you get on fine tomorrow when he is at school. He'll no doubt love it, you may be a bit tearie

Feeling left out,

I have swept up downstairs.
Done a load of washing.
Emptied outside fridge freezer and switched off, threw out frozen chicken BBF jan 2007.
Ate bowl of instant smash. ( I did have some homemade soup for starters.
Opened all windows for airing.
Swept front path, ignored the 20 million crisp packets and othe rrubbish that constantly blows in.
Put all decorations at the top of the stairs.
folded up huge dirty washing basket I don't need anymore as I am so good at getting all my washing done now .

Thanks Gibberish He'll be fine, he's moving up from the school Nursery. I'm planing to tackle some DIY, the skirting board paintwork is chipped so it needs filling, sanding and repainting. And I plan on visiting GM and GD (78 and 82) without Kid chaos in tow!

I will miss him tho, I'm sure.

Oh by the way Bianca, I'm sure my DD1 could live without her monkey thing, but I expect she will remember at some point and panick, so if you could post it at some stage I'd be very grateful, thanks. My DD1 has been busy making your DD a Hama Bead picture, so I shall post that to you at some point.... she has also drawn a picture of the two of them and blu tacced it by her bed..awwww!

scramble Dont feel left out

My front path is the same as yours with rubbish always blowing in. Except I have the additional delight of next door neighbour chucking his cigarette stubs in our garden - he's not allowed to smoke in the house...

Scramble · 06/01/2008 16:24

Oh giberish you should stand by with the hose, then say "sorry just cleaning the path didn't see your there" .

tortoise · 06/01/2008 16:30

My stairs are clear and hoovered.
Kids rooms are a disaster zone so will tackle them tomorrow with their help(Maybe!).
Front room is not too bad and is hoovered.

DS's will be home from their weekend at their dads soon.

Need to get some tea on for DD's. And me i suppose! Don't know what to have.

gibberish · 06/01/2008 16:41

Good idea Yeah, he might just get the hint then...

Am planning to sort out my finances this year too. Been spending like there's no tomorrow lately and it HAS TO STOP! Getting to the stage that my pay has been spent each month before I even get it. So going to see how much I can cut down each month...

Janni · 06/01/2008 17:59

Evening ALL Went to see a film this afternoon (George Clooney in Michael Clayton - brilliant) and DH took the kids out. Am trying hard to really appreciate the good stuff he does and not nag about him leaving stuff around/jobs half done etc etc.

To do this evening:
sweeping the flat, laundry away, tidy kitchen shelves, pay bills etc

gibberish · 06/01/2008 18:02

George Clooney

Was the film good?

TheMadHouse · 06/01/2008 20:43

Just though I would ass a quick post while I can still type.

I am pants and scared about tomorrow and have started on the sherry. I have a meeting with my Mental Health Nurse on Tuesday to try and find some way to cope with the wait for results, hopefully he will have some ideas. He is great and the CBT is really helping.

Bloddy mother didnt ask me once about it. her op was over a month ago and she is still not out and about really (fiest time she has been dressed since Christmas day!!!!

Gibberish I read anything, Love James Patterson, Kay Scarpetta, Kathy Reiches, John Connely et all and and pretty much up to date on them. DH bought me the new Dean Kountz to read, just let me know too and I can forward them on to you.

tortoise · 06/01/2008 20:45

TMH Best wishes for tomorrow. How long will you have to wait for the results?

Janni · 06/01/2008 20:56

TMH - I don't know your story but I wish you well for tomorrow.

Gibberish - the film was brilliant. Reminded me that there is life beyond home and kids!!

Just came back to remind myself what I'd set myself to do! Still have to:
-tidy kitchen shelves
-pay bills
-put rubbish and recycling out.

Want to watch that new series with Glenn Close in tonight, so that's my reward for completing my missions. I've accomplished a lot more since joining FLY!

Grouchyoscar · 06/01/2008 22:20

Finished for the day and I've done a proper bedtime routine. Everything is ready to go for the big day tomorrow, I'm also up to date with putting the washing away too

DH keeps asking why I'm sticking post-its to a file then coming back and throwing them away...He'll never understand He says have I lost my memory (hah hah not). It does work tho doesn't it?

Night all, catch you tomorrow

JingleyJen · 06/01/2008 22:22

TMH hope all goes well tomorrow.
Not been around much as Dh is lingering too much.
LOTS to do tomorrow house looks like a pigsty!
Night all

gibberish · 06/01/2008 22:22

Brill tmh Will take you up on that! Will give you a list of my read ones and see if you want any of them.

janni hmm, think I may be off to the cinema soon...

Well that's all for me folks. Be back on Wednesday if I don't manage to pop in before then. Have a good few days! x

Grouchyoscar · 06/01/2008 22:25

THM Thinking of you x

I know you said your prepared for the worse but I remember when I got my DX and tho I new it was going to be positive I still felt like I'd been punched in the gut. It's only natural. I hope your not going to be alone.

Take care

tortoise · 06/01/2008 22:26

GO Hope ds enjoys school tomorrow.
Mine go back Tuesday.

I have a man coming tomorrow to fix my bedroom radiator. No idea how he will get to it without sitting on my bed lol!

Grouchyoscar · 06/01/2008 22:45

BiancaCastafiore · 06/01/2008 23:19
