TR I am the same with washing. My dining room table is also the place of choice for "storage". DH has to come downstairs to get clothes in the morning, bits a-dangling!

Well done gecko

I have had a very lazy day, apart from the teeny tiny routine I am developing in the morning (washing in/hung, dishwasher, breakfasts). Feeling very sick this afternoon so me and my ever-increasing tummy took ourselves off to bed. Need to pick ds up from nursery soon but apart from that I'm doing now else at all. And not feeling bad about it!

FunkyGoldStar · 28/02/2008 16:20

Well done Gecko. Baby Glass has just about mastered walking now after doing 5 steps only for the last 2 months!

I've done naff all today. Cant be bothered. But my light box has arrived so I can play with that when I've got the kids to bed

damewashalot · 28/02/2008 16:21

Gosh! Loads of posts!!

Well my busy day is nearly over.

Haircut looks fab! I am really pleased with it (not often I am really pleased with a haircut)

Funeral went ok too...just such a shame I couldn't understand any of it
I did try to sing along but it was very tricky.
Glad I went to say goodbye though.

Supper is in the oven, dh has to drive to WelshPool tonight, so supper is early.

Its the kids Eisteddfod (the welsh music festival competetion tomorrow), so they have to wear their full traditional Welsh costumes, and I have to whip up some Welsh Cakes this evening!

DontDreamItBeIt · 28/02/2008 16:53

Dame - Having food is better than no food!

Trinity - Clean washing is also good. Yay for standing Gecko

Ludaloo - for the nice haircut

GO @ not feeling right

Minkus - Teeny tiny routie is the way to go. Something you can stick to even on bad days

Babyjj Once you've got he basics running ok you'll find time to do the cupboards...or at least that is the theory!

Bianca I hope dd feels better this evening.

Shana Ds1 will be three in a couple of weeks time, so will be going to preschool from 12.30 to 3.00. we paid for him to go to day nursery one day a week, so that I got quality time with DS1, but as always finances rule no more

GO Hope it is just a good nights kip you need

Luda Wow a haircut you like - was the service in welsh?

Tort FGS I have a pink feather duster, spotty dustpan and brush, patterned dusters and cleaning clothes and also now thanks to playgroup an apron with DS' handprints on.

If I HAVE to clean then I am doing it with pretty things IMO

FunkyGoldStar · 28/02/2008 17:15

GO - try and get an early night and hopefully you'll feel better in the morning.

Any pics of the new 'do' Luda?

I have SIL coming to stay tomorrow and place is a tip. Luckily I think 15 mins downstairs will do and then bed change as did the bathrooms the other day. Phew.

Ludaloo · 28/02/2008 17:44

Thank you guys

No pics I'm afraid...camera is completely knackered

TMH yeh, the whole service was in welsh. I could only pick out a handful of words I knew, and even then couldn't make sense of the sentance. Shame really, but I guess whatever language it was in we would still have been glad to be there. He was buried in our Strata Florida Abbey, a beautiful old Monastry, so we will be able to put flowers there from time to time

Bianca...sorry I hadn't really read through the psts properly....hope DD gets better soon xx

P.S TMH I love the sound of your cleaning equipment

Ludaloo · 28/02/2008 17:47

FGS I am in that baby glass is walking!!! Doesn't time fly!!

Ludaloo · 28/02/2008 17:48

....no pun intended

sagacious · 28/02/2008 18:20

DP will be home soon, dc's are off to bed so i can then do evening routine, maybe.
Have a good evening

scattyspice · 28/02/2008 19:51

Evening all.

Didn't do too well this afternoon. Had to go to shops for milk etc after school, it took 45mins to get back (DS is sooo slow). Then the man from British Gas arrived to give a quote on resiting the boiler, he was here 1.5 hrs!! and we rejected the quote as was too expensive anyway.

Spent the evening tidying up, sorting laundry (potty training DD so have loads) and doing washing up.

Need to dust the lounge (if I can be arsed).

FGS- that sounds painful. Will be a nuisance hobbling about on crutchs. Hope you've got some help.

TheMadHouse · 28/02/2008 20:00

Bloody Tumble Dryer has broke again

Anyway I got most of my list done bar the ironing and I am not sure I can be bothered, but I might give it a go.

tortoise · 28/02/2008 20:57

babyjjbaby Do you have to pay for your eye test?
TR Well done to little gecko.
GO Hope you feel better tomorrow. I felt like that yesterday.
Luda Glad the haircut went well. Mine wasn't done as well as normal this time.
Ruby Costume sounds great.
Oh no TMH not again. Hope ot can be fixed again.

Evening has been ok here. I have done the washing up.

babyjjbaby · 28/02/2008 21:05

tortoise yes i have to pay for my eyetest new frame and raection lenses cos i have to wait another year fro it to be on the nhs i won't be able tosee athing by then klol

Bewilderbeast · 28/02/2008 21:14

Hi GO hope you feel brighter tomorrow, I am in awe of what you have got done today

evening all

picked ds up from nursery
made tea for ds
I have started cleaning the kitchen and it looks a bit better but I think it will take another evening to get it back to normal
wm unloaded, reloaded and on

I am too exhausted to do anything else, I was falling asleep at my desk today and I have the most appalling sicky headache which I just can't seem to shift.

Oh and I have an apron and a feather duster it makes dusting skirting boards and door tops so much easier

Hope EHM feels better soon

tortoise · 28/02/2008 21:18

That is a pain Babyjjbaby.

babyjjbaby · 28/02/2008 21:24

yep it deff is gonna see if there is a way i can get round it

Nutsaboutchocolate · 29/02/2008 01:23

Hi all

Thank you so much for your wishes the other day.

I cant sleep so I thought I would have a look in here. It has been a shit few days here. DS1 is staying at a special needs school so they can see what he is like with them. Its his 2nd night there. Though he has been a real pain and life for us all has been so hard and upsetting with him around like he has been but I missing him loads. Hes never really been away from me apart from on few days holiday with mum. We are not to call him which is really hard. They want to see what he does without us being around at all. His school teacher thinks it is something to do with having to do things as this is when he is at his worst at school, and now hes is just doing all of this to try and stop thing happening that he does not want to do. The only good thing so far is that we are not having to be careful around him. At times it was like we (all of us) could not do anything right for him.

The social worker is nice though, (for once) She is even going to look into us getting some us help around the house, well getting mum some help really with looking after us. If mum was not here then I could have someone here all the time and it would be paid for or something, so the S/W does not see why mum can not have some help. I just feel so useless and taking up more of mums time then is needed. The last year I have not done much at all and mum has done everything. I dont know what I would have done without her being here for us. We have not heard from my real mum but my dad phoned once. He was so caring for the first ten minutes of the call, then he asked if I could give him some money!! He said I must be getting loads now that Im ill and I could give him some of it!! He has never helped me when things were hard. I would not help him if I did have loads of money.

This is a bit me me me.

I have read some threads but cant remember much now.

My {{{hugs}}} go to anyone who are ill, sad, having a hard time of things, happy, full of the joys of spring. So everyone gets hugs Loads of {{{{hugs}}}} for all DC

Take care all

Night night or should it be Morning?

HN xxXxx
