Morning.

Sounds like fun Ruby. What are you doing for the party? I need to organise something for DS, so far he's narrowed the guest list down to everyone in the class!!

Morning EHM.

Done washing up, hung out washing and got another load on.

I have decided to do weekly to do lists instead of daily (not much is getting done).

To DO:

Clean bathroom
Hoover
Dust
Buy milk and bread
Tel Child Tax Credits
Do missions.

Hello

Jas I stopped making lists when I got too competative with myself. I'm glad I have a bedtime routine but everything else is as it happens really now.
EHM Thanks for the thread lovely
RR Great party idea
Waves to Scatty Dame Baby FGS THM and Jellyshoes

My 1st sit down of the day. I did the morning routine, spent an good hour chatting with Ed's teacher and mentor about his progress (seems fine and gross motor skills are an issue but he's A1 academically) then FIL took me to B&Q. Got a bale of compost, some lavenders, a margurite, seeds, pots and one of those herb pots with holes for each herb (or I might put Ed's trailing cherry toms in them)

Made banana tea bread but... I burnt it. I did it to the recipie so...I don't know

Hope every one is having a lovely, sunny day

TheMadHouse · 07/05/2008 14:36

Groucy Watch out re the herb pot, I dont use ours anymore they are a nightmare at holding the water

OK for herbs that dont need much, but would put toms in them.

I am back from the PO and just off out to get DS1 from school

Ruby I understand regarding the sun

damewashalot · 07/05/2008 14:39

Well did morning stuff except bathroom and kitchen was better, just made cookies so needs tidying again now

Been to midwife baby still not staying the right way around, if any of you are interested in my bumps progress since the last pics here my plan to have my house sorted before baby arrived is not working, oh well.

Hope all are enjoying the sun

FunkyGlassSlipper · 07/05/2008 15:41

Have worked through my kitchen list from yesterday and I have this stuff still to do:

CLEAN DUSTBIN
CLEAN FLOOR
CLEAN KITCHEN DOORS
CLEAN OVENS INSIDE
CLEAN TILE SPLASHBACKS
DUST BASEBOARDS
EMPTY REFG/CLEAN THOROUGHLY
WIPE FINGERPRINTS OFF WALLS

I hate doing the bin and the floor.

FunkyGlassSlipper · 07/05/2008 15:43

Dame - piccies look great. I looked shite when pregnant.

TheMadHouse · 07/05/2008 16:21

Dame Pictures are fantastic, FGS I look shite all the time, I looked worse when I was pregnant. There are no photos of me pregnant anywhere

Mum is home
DS1 is asleep in the car
DS2 is drawing

I am thinking about cheese on toast for tea dn then I am off to do the weekly shop when DH get in from work - lovley not

EHM · 07/05/2008 16:45

Hi all

Sorry haven't caught up with the thread.
I have been rushed off my feet the last couple of days!
Dh forgave me for yesterday...I made it up to him!

I had my nails done yesterday afternoon...took 2 and a half hours!
(All ready for the May Ball on Friday night [excited, excited emoticon!])

Have been busy collecting my Avon brochues....nightmare...the amount of people who keep saying "oooh I haven't had a chance to look at it yet" or just forgetting to bring it with them to school etc. It is going to take me forever!

Well I hope you have all had the lovely sun! It has been glorious here. I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

Righto...better get on and do supper...spag bol tonight.

xx

Ludaloo · 07/05/2008 17:13

Oh Dame your photo's are lovely you looked chuffed to bits of your bump!

scattyspice · 07/05/2008 17:22

Hi all.

Jas I have the same problem with laundry (it just piles up). The trouble with line drying is the ironing!

Luda you sound glam today .

Ruby party sounds good.

I've booked a soft play room at leisure centre for DS (5). We can invite 25 kids (the whole class)! Do you think I'll get away with giving them a balloon instead of party bag (can't manage 25 party bags)? This is our first party so a bit unsure.

Need to get the tea on.

TheMadHouse · 07/05/2008 17:35

Scatty - I dont really approve of party bags, it encourages children to expect things at others birthdays. I think a ballon is a nice idea.

Tea is over nad done with and the boys are in their PJ,s - they had a shower at swimming.
