Morning all tortoise - Good for you, planning yourself a night out

I've decided I need to be busy today. I'm going to try and get that duvet sortd before toddler group this morning, then FLY like a mad flying thing this afternoon. FIL hasn't got our new key so I'll have to wait in as i have no idea what time he will be here.

Morning

Thanks for the thread Jas
Tort yay for the night out - good for you! I'll get thinking about what you could wear - show me a couple of links of things you like and we'll take it from there

I was in bed before 10 last night so as a result I've been awake for a while already this morning. My morning routine is almost all done, I just need to get the kids out to school and strip the beds ready for washing.

Ds is off on his first full days school trip today - they're going to a train museum so he's very excited! (I do worry when they go off on trips though - not sure how you get through it when they're away for a week!)
Dd lost her 6th tooth last night so she has also been awake for a while after checking to see if thetooth fairy had been (she had )
I have to call into work at some point and also hope to get time to go and help at school after lunch.

Better go and get these children dressed and ready.
Back later x

Have missed you all the last 2 days and can't join in today as my electricity is off 8-5 today.

Happy clutter freeing.

Morning all, thanks for the thread Dream.

Didn't get on MN yesterday as too busy (hard to believe but true) so hope everyone is okay. Will try to catch up shortly.

Rough night, DD awake on and off from 4.30 so totally knackered. Going to be an extra strength coffee day today.

Right, off to achieve some stuff, will hopefully check back later.

Ludaloo · 20/03/2008 08:19

Morning ladies

Good luck to DS for his trip today bianca Dream busy busy busy! have a good day.

NAB we've missed you too! Hope the leccy comes back soon!

IV hope the coffee does the trick!

I'm knackered, DD2 was sick 3 times during the night
She seems ok so far this morning though, but I have a lot of washing to do today!

oooooh coal man has just been, wasn't expecting him! he comes on a friday...but obviously its good friday tomorrow isn't it. I look like a complete weirdo! pyjama bottoms, a fleece top and bright pink fluffy socks!....and a beeyootiful bedhead

Ludaloo · 20/03/2008 09:16

just checking my bank account...and they are due to charge me just over £100 (for the second time ) for going overdrawn by a collective amount of £26 I have gone overdrawn by about £4 on 4 different ocassions and they have charged me £25 for each time

I have just had to pay £100 this week in charges, for similar reasons for last month!

I just phoned and had a rant....It is ridiculous! Another £100 in charges will make me overdrawn again!!!! so more charges!!! plus, my child benefit has been completely swallowed up bar £12 of it

He reduced my charges which are due to me by £50..... Its better than nothing but I still think £50 is way too much!

Their solution is to get an extension on my overdraught!!!! BUGGERS!
JUST STOP BLOODY CHARGING ME RIDICULOUS FRICKIN CHARGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have ranted...and have now phoned up so my child benefit and tax credits go into a savings account, then at least they won't get swollowed up by horrific charges and I can actually provide for my kids!

Grrrrrrrr.....

I am going to go and have a sit down!

BiancaCastafiore · 20/03/2008 09:19

Aww, sorry dd was sick again Luda

IV hope you get some sitting down time today to get over your restless night.

NAB Hope your day goes ok with no electricity. We're having ours turned off for a day in a couple of weeks - not sure how I'll cope!

Right, my beds are stripped and the first load is in the wm.
I have some clean washing to fold and put away and a hotspot to clear.

Haven't heard from work yet so am not sure what time I'm expected in....

BiancaCastafiore · 20/03/2008 09:20

for you Luda!!

Ludaloo · 20/03/2008 09:34

I'm calm now

I have to strip my bed too now...and collect various towels and wash them too.

You are up and at it this morning bianca

Ludaloo · 20/03/2008 09:54

There we go...

Bed stripped....towels in W/M
2 loads left to go
D/W loaded and running
Fire re-lit and coal bought in

Miserable day today....very cold and grey and gllomy

Very quiet too without my other two!!

Ludaloo · 20/03/2008 09:54

gloomy...not gllomy!

another very overcast day here

Ludaloo · 20/03/2008 10:36

Thanks dylsmum

Hmmmm, dh has just phoned from his sisters, they are all staying there tonight as well.
DD1 said that the new baby just cried! and she had to go because they are playing hide and seek and DS didn't want to speak to me Thanks DS!!

Never mind, it means I can keep on top of the house without any interruptions. It is very strange having the house to myself, as even DD2 is as quiet as a mouse, she is curled up watching Dora, and seems completely happy to stay there!
off over to the shop now though, need milk, squash and washing powder.

BiancaCastafiore · 20/03/2008 10:45

Must be weird with two of the kids missing Luda, even when you're used to them being out at school!
Dyls good luck in Asda!

Grey here too and cold but not too gloomy (yet) The forecast for the weekend is terrible (adding to nerves re car journeys!)
I have done nothing since my last post really...I did put some washing away but have otherwise just sat and had a leisurly cup of tea in front of datime telly
I have another load of dry washing to fold and a second load in the wm so ought to do something with some of it.
Then the bedrooms could do with a hoover and I really ought to tackle a hotspot which is getting out of hand....[can't really be bothered emotion]

BiancaCastafiore · 20/03/2008 10:49

I have just opened an email from a friend and his wife who have been trying for a baby for several years - they have a surrogate to carry a baby for them and are expecting a baby in Sept
I am soooo delighted for them

Ludaloo · 20/03/2008 10:52

Oh that's brilliant news Bianca! I bet they are over the moon.

BiancaCastafiore · 20/03/2008 10:57

What an amazing thing to find - someone brave enough to be a surrogate, a wonderful woman

Sooooo excited for them

BiancaCastafiore · 20/03/2008 12:14

Agh! Just rang a friend for a chat and have ended up inviting her over for the afternoon - have to get the house tidy now!

Off to hoover and tidy and dig out baby toys!

Ludaloo · 20/03/2008 12:18

Gosh It is indeed, takes a special someone to go through all that on someone else's behalf.

I have hardly done any FLYing at all really! Just washing....

Have just written a letter and sent a copy of my CV to the admissions department of the college I want to go to, to see whether I stand a chance of getting on a PGCE course next year. My qualifications are not quite what is specified

BiancaCastafiore · 20/03/2008 12:23

Well done - that's a great step towards getting back to work etc

I've just walked into a door frame and really hurt my knee - feel almost sick with pain!

Ludaloo · 20/03/2008 12:54

oooch hope it is ok! Have a good afternoon I wish I was closer, I'd have popped round too

I'm officially bored LOL!

Where is everyone today!?

scattyspice · 20/03/2008 12:58

Morning all.

Having trouble keeping up with the threads as no computer at home at the mo.

Ludaloo Banks just look to make money out of you. You're really having a hard time with all the sickness too.

Bianca Take it easy with that knee.

Manage to do morning routine and wash up this am.
Need to clean up after builders and do more laundry when I get home.
Need to go to Lidl after tea.

Happy Easter everyone (when it comes).

BiancaCastafiore · 20/03/2008 12:59

Lol, I'm a bit bored to tbh, am very pleased to have a friend coming to play

There are things I could do I just can't be bothered

Knee has calmed a bit now, thanks for the concern
