Morning EHM, Shanna and all

Thanks for the thread EHM hope all is well in the EHM household It is good to have had a chat with dh and things are looking up again He even had a night off office work last night to spend time with me - mid-week

I'm tired and cold this morning. Ds came into our bed about an hour and half ago and wriggled till I could bear it no longer and had to get up. Most of my morning routine is done except the getting dressed and breakfasted part.

Today is my day to help at school so I'll be out for a couple of hours this morning. I need to drive across to work this afternoon but hope to keep that brief.

In an ideal world I'd like to have a look through a problem area in the house today but it just depends how long all the extras take so I'll be abck later for motivation when I know how much time I have

DontDreamItBeIt · 05/03/2008 07:26

Morning
Thanks for the thread EHM. Sorry abou your useless viewes. My friends buyers have just puled out because of soething similar
Bianca - So glad you and DH had that talk, and things are finally feeling beter in the Castafiore house
Shanna - I fnd tha sometimes the earlier I ge up the less I get done, as I thik I've got plenty of time and just sit on mn for too long

DP is home today and said he will plaster the last bit of the new bathroo, so I probably won't be online much.

TTFN andhave agood day FLYbuddies

Morning all

Well I am out this morning setting up the village hall for this evening, but will be back by lunch time to sort the house out (needs a lot of sorting too!)

I weighed myself this morning and have finally lost my first stone!! YIPPEE!! (I must now resist the urge to pig out as a treat!!)

Back later

TheMadHouse · 05/03/2008 08:45

Morning all

I have done morning routine and just need to get my ass in gear and sort out swimming stuff.

MIL is having DS2, on the understanding that no smacking or even tapping of hands will be tolerated under any circumstances. His eye is still a little bit red and sore, but he is also teething and therefore, has a cold!!

Aim is then to come back and give them lunch (pasta) and talk both of them into a nap, so I can do things.

BiancaCastafiore · 05/03/2008 08:52

Wow! Luda congratulations I've lost a couple of lbs this week but they're just lbs I put on last week when I ate everything in sight! Need to try harder....

Off to sort some work now, then to school, then back to work, then home and feet up - cupboard clearing can wait!

intravenouscoffee · 05/03/2008 08:54

Morning to all and cosy thoughts for the frosties

Morning routine underway and have even cleaned the kitchen worktops whilst making breakfast so that's another task off the weekly list. Not doing missions at the moment while I still try to get established with the basics.

DD woke up at 3 this morning and was awake for an hour, crying on and off. No idea why she woke, although she's got a nasty patch of eczema on her face so maybe that was upsetting her. Then woke up for a feed at 5.30 and DH got up for work at 6. Not a lot of sleep all round! DD did settle back to sleep again and got up at 8 so at least I'd got a few things sorted by then.

Mum and baby group today so I'm off shortly. Hope you're all hving good mornings. It's brilliantly sunny but freezing cold here again.

babyjjbaby · 05/03/2008 08:57

Hello again

DS is still asleep, DD is gluing so am havign a quick tea break.
Haven't done much FLYing this morning
Morning routine done, washing is out on the line, good as we are on an energy saving push at the moment. Am cleaning the washing machine though which will probably take same enlc as tumble dryer
Will let you know how much money we save by turning all electrical items off at the wall when not in use, including all computer and tv sockets, just means non of the digital clocks are on, but don't need them anyway.

Luda Well done on the first stone. Do you have the recipe for Welsh cakes, saw them being cooked on tv and they looked yummy.
Dream bet you'll be glad when the bathroom is all finished. I have to set teh 15min timer when on MN so don't spend too long on here, doesn't always work as sometimes i just reset
Funky list is looking good
Trinity hello, glad you're keepign going.
iv hope m&t went well.
baby morning

Hope everyone has a good morning. Off to playschool soon, then back for 45min, before back for 'sign and play'.
Mum is coming over saturday afternoon & evening so need to get place clean and tidy. Bianca Me and DP need to sit down and have a big talk too, just need to pick a lesser grumpy moment.

DS has just woken up.

DontDreamItBeIt · 05/03/2008 10:42

No chance of a cleaner here.

DD1 is always only just there as they are shutting the door. She has never been late enough to be marked down late though

I've done my Wednesday jobs, and dp is driving to Kent to look at a job (we live in Essex, so it'd better pay well if he takes it.)

I'll start on my
Afternoon routine
9 Where's the washing?
10 2 min hotspot
11 15 min declutter
12 mission

Washing has just finished so I'll go and hang it out.

scattyspice · 05/03/2008 11:38

Morning all. Off work today as DD is poorly (well she was up all night, actually seems fine now).

Still not getting much flying done (too busy playing farms).

Have done the shopping though, and washin up, laundry.

Loving all your baby wipes tips. Maybe I'll do todays mission with a baby wipe. LOL

Hi All, back from the hall, just having lunch

Bianca My parcel arrived this morning, I'm chuffed to bits, THANKYOU I have just popped you a quick email

shannar Welsh Cake recipe....

8 oz S.R Flour
4oz Welsh Salted Butter (obviously any salted butter will do)
1 Egg
Handful of Sultanas
Milk if needed
3 oz Caster Sugar
Butter for greasing

Rub fat into seived flour to make breadcrumbs.
Add sugar, sultanas and egg
Knead until a soft dough.
Roll out to about 1/4 inch thick, cut circles with cutter, 3-4 inches(or you can do it by hand)
You need a bake stone or heavy griddle (I use a heavy base Frying Pan...works just as well) Rub with butter and wipe off excess
Cook 2-3 mins on each side, until caramel brown
Dust with caster sugar whilst still warm

Serve with butter, jam...anything yummy like that!

I have made loads this last week, what with St Davids Day and Cawl a Chan this evening...they are really nice...I think I'd be quite happy if I didn't see another one for a while though!

Right...off to tidy

babyjjbaby · 05/03/2008 11:54
