Hello everyone

Back for the weekday fly after a hellish weekend, ds has had upset tummy and dh away all yesterday doing Silverstone Half Marathon so house is an absolute tip.

Have had a v quick read of the thread - sag your list looks more or less like mine would be so will use yours!

Hope everyone who has been ill/nearest and dearest have been under the weather start feeling perkier soon.

Was v windy here in the night but no fence causalties for us NAB - how annoying for you- just drizzly now, wind has dropped. Had just got used to pegging washing out on the line again as weather has been quite good and now will have to revert to hanging on coathangers in door frames, grrrr I hate that.

Have a good day all x

Grouchyoscar · 10/03/2008 11:26

DontDreamItBeIt · 10/03/2008 11:34

Tell me why I don't like Mondays.....
I've been singing all day.[smile

It is just as well as I've achieved nothing so far. Wen tothe bank to pay a bill and couldn't, had to phone my brother to get him to pay it for me (See French translation thread) then tried to go out to meet my frind, and had a blow out on my tyre. I changed it myself (is this unusual - m friends were shocked I was going o do it myself) but had to come home with oly four bolts holding on the five bolt tyre as one is now jammed in the dead tyre.

And my feet are wet, because my boots leak.

Thats all my whinging over with. I'll go and do some FLYing now.

TMH - I think Ruby has the question list about covered.

Ludaloo · 10/03/2008 11:36

It is busy! I can't keep up!

TMH good luck with the consultant...I can't add anything to Ruby's questions either...I think she has covered most things I'd want to know.

Bianca Hope DS is better soon...enjoy toddler group if you go

Well I have:
~Tidied Living Room
~Picked all clothes up from various rooms
~Put a load in W/M
~Put a load in D/W
~Sorted recycling out
~Welsh Homework
~Picked DD2 back up
~Made DD2 a bite to eat

Fair bit left to do though still. House needs a good hoover and dust.

Ludaloo · 10/03/2008 11:39

Jas I have changed my own tyres in the past too. Sorry you got soaked! Not nice!

Grouchyoscar · 10/03/2008 11:39

I've just sat and eaten two hot cross buns

Ds and I did venture to toddlers and had fun catching up - I was shocked to see there are loads of pregnancies in the village again at the moment I'll have to borrow some new-borns for cuddles in the summer

TMH Ruby has covered all the questions I could think of...hope it all goes well x
Jas well done on the tyre change [impressed]
Dame I missed your email address so I'll look back at Fridays thread and make a note of it... Tis all very weird (in a nice way)

Well, I'd better go and get ds some lunch then I hope he'll have a sleep so I can rest too - we were awake for hours last night so I'm shattered!

Back later x

damewashalot · 10/03/2008 12:18

Ludaloo · 10/03/2008 12:22

scattyspice · 10/03/2008 12:54

Hi All.
Hope you ok TMH.
Hope you ok too Ludaloo!

Well we still have the builders in. supposed to be starting the roof today !

I think I'm goimg to ignore the kitchen this week as the plumbers coming to move the boiler so the floors coming up and holes will be drilled through the walls! The state of my cooker is the least of my worries!

Will try and keep on top of the rest of the house though.

sagacious · 10/03/2008 13:00

scatty I wouldn't want to be on a rood at the moment .. the wind is definitely picking up again !

My list (revised as I've actually done it all if you ignore the ever growing ironing pile)

Ironing (ignore ..I am)
Cleaned computer screen done
Put away play station
Drink water done
Mini sort of paperwork
Check mortgage details (dh asked me last week)
Put hoover away
S/s bathroom/en suite
Clean en suite loo
Eat lunch

BiancaCastafiore · 10/03/2008 13:02

Awww Luda I remember you saying you had a baby due in the family in March - does this mean you'll be visiting in our direction [hopeful]?
Dame okey dokey

Ds had lunch then coughed violently and brought the whole lot up [ewww] Thankfully he made it to the loo in time so there's minimum clearing up to do. Poor chap, it's really nasty. He's tucked up in my bed now with his super-hero book and a Charlie and Lola CD.

My dads plane has landed and the LDC is in the oven ready for when he gets back home

I need to make some work calls next and mop the floors.

If it is wicked I am a very evil mother. If you're sure they won't notice, get rid of whatever you can now!

NAB3wishesfor2008 · 10/03/2008 13:10

He will be 7 next Wednesday so I am ahead of myself but I wanted to check what I had for him. Thank fully I don't need to buy anything else other than a couple of helium balloons.

BiancaCastafiore · 10/03/2008 13:12

Bugger, just remembered I meant to get some flowers for my mums grave - 16years today since she died It's probably a good sign that it's not been on my mind as much as previous years but I feel really now...not sure I can nip out and get anything with ds so poorly
I've almost had as much of my life without her than I had with her....

Better get on with some jobs and keep busy.
