luda sooo please you & dh have maded up. Good stuff
bewilder hope you are ok.

I am confused now so many threads & links

DontDreamItBeIt · 11/04/2008 08:10

I'm working round the big hotspots today. I did the kitchen and sitting room ones yesterday and it looks much better for it.
Dining room and bathroom are on my list for today

I hope everyone is well.

Hazelnuts- no rug doctor carpet cleaner here, but I'm sure someone will have tried it.

EHM how was the nursery visit yesterday? (Sorry if you've said and I missed it. I'm rubbish at keeping up at the moment.)

right I've spent for too much time this morning faffing with the numerous threads i'll say Hi to everybody I've missed & anybody who will follow.

BiancaCastafiore · 11/04/2008 08:39

Agh! Soooo many threads and links this morning!

Is this the right one now? I hope so...

Nuts no rug doctor here although our carpets etc need a clean so I'll be waiting to see if it's recommeded...ah, EHM has recommended it I
Jas well done on the hotspots I need to tackle some soon too, it's all going down the pan with the kids off school.
EHM glad Ellie enjoyed the visit When will she start?
TMH Good morning

We have another busy day planned
We all have haircuts this morning (listen out for screams from ds He's too old to make such a fuss now, I'm sure he just does it for effect!)
Then the kids have a freind each coming to play this afternoon. I'm hoping they'll keep themselves entertained so I can make some progress with FLYing which has been seriously lacking this week and it shows!
I also need to pack up some parcels and get them in the post if I get the chance.

TheMadHouse · 11/04/2008 08:59

rIGHT - I am back

So much going on here this morning the Madhouse is in chaos. We are off to stay and play this morning then back for lunch and then MIL is coming to sit with the boys (DS2 will be in bed) for a couple of hours whilst I take mum to the hospital to discuss the best way forward for her regarding the breast cancer stuff. I have never left both opf them here with MIL - she is very fussy re cleaning.

I have done

All morning routine
3 phone calls
Hoover ground floor
Mop ground floor - spillage
Washing hung out

Oh no world war three has started - later

Ludaloo · 11/04/2008 09:52

Morning ladies

I have just got in from various errands...post office, spar and corner shop.

I have all 3 kids out at school or nursery...have to pick DD2 up at lunch and stay on to do my new job! Cleaner!!!! of the nursery!
LOL I will be a cleaning addict won't I! Cleaning everywhere I go!
Still its a bit of cash!

Other than that I am still waiting to see if DH needs me to go into town this afternoon, so will be at home...or at the nursery cleaning!

sagacious · 11/04/2008 10:14

TheMadHouse · 11/04/2008 12:07

Its lunchtime

We are back from play and stay.

Sag I am so grey too, must do something about it, but it is finding the time and energy

Luda Sounds like quite a good job actually

Bainca Hope you have a good day

Waves at everyone else - come out come out where ever you are

EHM · 11/04/2008 12:10

Bianca hope the haircuts aren't too stressed for you. Ellie would start preschool in June for 2 or 3 afternoons per week, which can included lunch club 12-1230 then afternoon session 1230-3pm. I think she needs it, she must be bored with me by now!
tmh hope all goes well with your mum's appointment
Luda i am sure you will do a fab job. You can introduce them to the wonders of the fly lady. I am sure the lo's would love that.
sagahave a good day.

My day hasn't be so good so far:
Just had to make a mad dash to bring in washing. Peeing down with rain now we have major hail storm
Ellie has been cranky pants since she got up. We had a very scary situation in the shower this morning, glass shower door came out of its casing crashing to floor hitting sink, door on its way down. Made a massive hole in the bathroom door & with the force of the impact the lock came out of the bathroom doorI was shaking lucky ellie was still in shower & I was just climbing out
Phone dh still dripping went from shower & ellie screaming. 'phone the handyman was his response'
Because i've nothing better to do today as my sister & her family are coming. Apologies rant over

EHM · 11/04/2008 12:11

sage grey no way, dont believe it.

BiancaCastafiore · 11/04/2008 14:04

Good afternoon

EHM that sounds good, I'm sure Ellie will have fun
Luda was good to say hello earlier, hoe the cleaning job goes well this afternoon

We'v ehad a disappointing morning. Dd and ds were due to go to PiL this weekend for a sleepover but MiL is poorly so the trip has been cancelled (more of a disappointment to dh and I than the kids in some ways, we were looking forward to some time on our own!) Dd was quite upset but seems over it already now! Hope MiL is OK...

Then the friend who was coming to play with dd this afternoon cancelled cos she's poorly too Poor dd was very diappointed
Thankfully we had our haircuts nicely (hardly a whimper from ds) and some friends came to have thier hair cut too and their dd has stayed on to play with my dd (she's younger than my dd but they are playing together really nicely )
Ds has his friend here now too

I ought to do something constructive but am not sure what....

BiancaCastafiore · 11/04/2008 14:05

Dyls of your holiday. Have a great time

Janni · 11/04/2008 14:33

Hello all. TMH - let your MIL do some cleaning - I would Luda - is it easier cleaning as a paid job rather than your own home? I'm curious.

I am SO unmotivated it's not true. My parents left today and I've breathed a bit of a sigh of relief. They still bicker the way they did when I was a child

DD is in nursery and that's going well, DH and DSs are back from holiday tomorrow - I really should do some more housework rather than spend all my time on MN!

First jobs:
1)hang laundry and put dry away
2)dishwasher
3)clean shower room

grouchyoscar · 11/04/2008 14:35

Porridge oat under ctrl kedy

I've vacced downstairs and mopped it, means I can start painting ASAP tomorrow

Got to collect Ed. Then I've got to remember our bargain - If he practises really hard with his writing, I will try hard to teach myself guitar [what was I thinking emoticon]

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

BiancaCastafiore · 11/04/2008 15:49

Just a quick work related question...

Do any of you ever use the "shopping" section in the blue box at the top of the page?

DontDreamItBeIt · 11/04/2008 16:09

No.
