Busy day today.

DD1 at pre-school. DD2 at childminders. I'm meant to be at work but instead will be dropping school acceptance and waiting list forms off. Then I have to post some things and after tha, come back and do some work from home

I have however completed all of my morning routine except for the getting dressed but so I'll go and do that now.

Morning
Have a good day FGS Sorry about the school business - we're lucky not to have that problem here. Hope the 2nd choice is OK for you x

I'm off to work soon. My father is abroad for a few days so I have lots of extras to sort in his absence.
Back later, happy cleaning everyone!

Shannaratinger · 28/01/2008 08:30

Morning everyone
I am really glad it's monday again. DD is back to school and DP back at work. i never get anything done when he's home. thank goodness the eye drops have finished as well, screaming hysterics 4 times a day was really stressful
fgs i've also got to drop the school acceptance form off, really glad we have got our first choice, is only 5 minute walk. Will miss the excercise though as current play school is 2 miles away.
bianca hope u have a good day at work.

Hello to everyone
Have a good days flying

Morning All

EHM Hope you enjoy the yoga! Sounds great (I wouldn't worry about your pelvic floor muscles unless you think you might be bouncing! In which case I'd wear some protection! That's what I have to do LOL!)

Gibberish You have convinced me...I might sign up today, I'll have a good look at it Well done on the excersise dvd...I'm waiting for mine to arrive in the post.

Tort My neighbour has just bought a little golden labrador puppy...he is very sweet too....only thing is, she has called it "Fan" ??! I have never heard anything be called fan! (well apart from a fan of course) Not too sure on the name but the puppy is sweet!
We used to have a Grey hound/Deer hound cross, called Kelly...(Ha Ha...!! Just realised!) She was huge and had lots of shaggy long hair. Soft as anything though...completey gentle, and great near other dogs.

HELLO To everyone else.

Well I have to get on and tidy the house up before my Welsh Lesson at lunch time.

see you all in a bit

Janni · 28/01/2008 09:57

Hello ALL. Well, today for the first time I'm going to try menu planning for the week and go shopping based on my plan..

What are the fail-safe meals in your households? Give me some inspiration PLEASE!
Back after breakfast.

TMH - hope your headache clears up.

Mrnin.

Just a quick post...FGS Try not to worry about the school. I accepted m second choice for dd1 and she then go a place in my first choice on the waiting list. Good luck.

EHM [ envy] yoga. It isthe only exercise I have ever done and enjoyed, and I miss it.

I've mixed the paint myself o sav money. 30 Litres of white with two coloured paints added and mixed. We are having a yellow ish bige colour, so not exciting, but better than magnolia
Ireally need o tidy up downstairs and start work.

tibni · 28/01/2008 11:12

hi all,

Had a really bad viral infection last week; gorgeous rash and swollen joints. Feeling much better but very envious of the yoga EHM as I can't go back to the gym yet.

Jas hope the decorating goes well

FGS - good luck with the school. DD went to our second choice and it has been brilliant for her and my ASD son (not dx'd when we were selecting) does brilliantly there too - he certainly would not have coped in 1st choice school.

Janni - well done on the meal plan. I often plan but i'm not good at sticking to my list!

RR - hoovered FOR YOU! how kind LOL

Shan - enjoy the peace; while it lasts

well better get on. I am donning hard hat and heading into the kids rooms!

Have a good day all

TMH - hope your headache goes soon

So Morning all - have been wandering round other MN threads but need to focus on the house - sorry for disappearing am back !

Hope everyone is well - sounds like you are all ploughing on with the housework - and bodywork

Bathroom man started this morning so house is tidy - no where to store washing anymore so all washing done 50% of ironing done.

Tibni i Hope you are feeling better it sounds nasty.

Groucy Just got best of the eels it is great - forgot how much we liked them.

I am letting lunch cool atm.

Jamni re failsafes. Bolegnease, sausage casarole, chicken with cheese and bacon, beef stew etc.

Grouchyoscar · 28/01/2008 13:29

TMH ah, Eels a band I always intended to see but never did ....'packing blankets and dirty sheets, a room full of dust and a broom to sweep up'....I'll have to scale the CD shelves and dig them out. Did you hear the interview with Simon Mayo last week? His father was a genius!

Ben Lee is a good one to dig out too.

Sorry all if I've been a bit brusque and not been cheery. I've been shattered today and only pulled it together by cooking a 'family tea' It's Cowboy pie for Ed and I tonight

Yeee-Haaa!

TheMadHouse · 28/01/2008 14:07

Groucy eels Tickets are still avalable at sheffield, but the ones nearer to us are sold out.

details on the documetary he made about his father are on it is repeated tonight on BB4, also quite fancy his autobiograpthy

Janni · 28/01/2008 14:32

Afternoon ALL RubyRioja - I like the 'for you' bit re. the hoovering by DH. My DH visited the design museum yeterday and brought back a dustpan and brush FOR ME. Couldn't get why I wasn't delighted. It's also crap, all design and no substance, but I'd better not tell him that

Tibni - that infection sounds horrible. Hope you're on the mend now.

Jingley Jen - you're right to schedule in 'playtime' rather than all chores. I need to remember that!

Thanks for the meal suggestions TMH. Two of my kids are fussy - one won't eat meat the other will hardly eat any veg. Between them they'll eat one meal

I'm working my way through my daily schedule (and didn't need to do the mission, for the first time ever!), but not got much get up and go.

Need to put clean sheets and pillowcases on three beds, then school pick-up. Its DS2s eighth birthday today and I've promised him pancakes for tea.

BiancaCastafiore · 28/01/2008 15:59

Agh Just typed a long message to everyone and then managed to lose it!
Haven't got time to write it all out again so hope TMHs headache is gone, Luda has had a good time at her Welsh lesson (does Fan mean something else in Welsh?!) Ruby has met her micro-deadlines and Jens ds hasn't been sick again. Hello to all others!

Need to make supper soon, ds is tired and hungry.
Hope to get back later x

Grouchyoscar · 28/01/2008 16:35

Cheers for the info TMH I will get the documentary onto the Vbox. Sadly my gig going days have been severely curtailed since Ed arrived so I'll have to wait

Evening all

DH has walked in so I have walked out - well to the kitchen behind a stairgate - God they have behaived apaulingly this afternoon.

DS1 has threw his hot chocolate all over the sofa and train table and then they encouraged each others bad behaviour at the dinning table

There is not enough little faces to express the amount of steam coming out of my ears.

I am handing them over to DH adn I am going to take the ironing up stairs and crack on and listen to some music or mindless TV.

Grouchyoscar · 28/01/2008 18:30

TMH...Kids huh, dontcha just love em

DH home for 30 mins before he's off

Ed slowing down

Tea eaten, DW loaded, lunches made
Worktops S&Sed sink shiny...I think we'll turn in at 7

Have good evenings all

gibberish · 28/01/2008 18:50

Fab luda! I really hope you do as I can add you as my buddy It's really great, it serves my OCD perfectly with all the graphs and charts lol

Have taken a quick break from torts painting to paint a picture for betterhalf's new son. Will have his name surrounded by disney characters. Great fun! (Don't mention it to disney - will be done for breaching copyright hehe)

Full of the cold today so didnt go into work. dd4 stopped being sick fortunately so just looking at the rest waiting for renewed outbursts...

Hope you have all had a good day and have a good one tomorrow x

Janni · 28/01/2008 19:56

Oh TMH - your little red faces gave quite a good picture. Hope the hot choc hasn't done any lasting damage. Better luck tomorrow.

I am yearning for a nice bubble bath and glass of wine, so that's where I'm heading now...

TheMadHouse · 28/01/2008 20:09

Ah I feel better now, all the ironing done, DW on and in PJ's.

I am going to have a cuppa and then a bath and then an early night.

No damage done, as it is a leather sofa (wipable), just I smacked him for the first time ion his life. So guilty feelings that need resolving. I am beating myself up, so will do a CBT analysis form when I get out of the bath and feel able to deal with the feelings a little better.

Thanks FLYladies
