Morning Sag and Dream
Haven't been on the thread for a couple of days so hope everyone is okay. Is windex not just a window cleaner? And therefore identical to vinegar solution? Or am I being suspicious of big corporations? I'm sure you can made vinegar blue if you put some food colouring in it.
Anyway, been up since 6 since DD decided it was daytime and she wanted to get up Need to put the blind back up in her room, the curtains don't keep enough light out and I'm not being woken up at dawn every morning!
Morning routine underway and need to do the shopping today. We have no food at all!

intravenouscoffee · 17/04/2008 08:06

Hi Trinity
Glad Gecko is okay and you're feeling a bit better. Good luck with the bedroom sorting.

DontDreamItBeIt · 17/04/2008 09:14

Back from school run....I've sent dd2 in despite her claiming to be ill. I am convinced it is just a ploy to stay home because her favourite tv program is on at 4am, 1pm, and 10pm, and being really mean mummy I won' get her up at 4/let her stay up til 10 o atch it

Toddler group this morning, with a trip to bathroom shop to try and find wall mounted bath taps, buy key hooks, and go to Tescos for cake ingrediants.
I've said I'll make a princess castle cake for my friends dds birthday on Saturday.

Morning all

We are running late and I just couldnt get out of bed, so we had drinks in mummys bed and lots of snuggles.

Porridge is cooling and then off to the shops with MUM . I have rang her and she is up

Loads to do today, but I have had such a great time with the boys this week, that I am not worried and just going with the flow

Good morning

Sunny but cold here today [brrrr]

I have been out to buy coal (missed the coal man on Friday )
I've just lit a nice fire....should heat the house up a treat now

I am waiting in for DHL to come and collect Torts parcel now.
I do have to pop out at lunch time though to buy myself a ticket for the May Ball (Aberystwyth University) They hold it here in our village at our new pavillion. A load of mums have decided to go The Sugar Babes are playing...as are the Vengerboys

Nice night out to look forward too

Ludaloo · 17/04/2008 10:59

Just whizzed to get the ticket....It was £10 for local residents! Bargain!! £40 for everyone else...including the students (that's a lot for a student to pay don't you think!!) So I'm very pleased with that!
It is 5pm until 3am [shock I don't think I'll manage that at all! (lightweight alert
Bjorn Again are playing too...I love them, I went to see them when I was a student at Aberystwyth University.
(they are an Abba Tribute band)
