Morning all. Most of morning routine done ] except none of us are dressed. Will do that in a minute.

DD1 at pre-school this morning and then DD2 at friends while I have the morning off. Hope to sort through some things and create a 'to sell' pile.

Jas · 12/05/2008 08:03

Morning. Trying to keep up, but not doing the best job ever.
The dds are not up yet but ds and I are ready to go.

TMH - I did see your offer, thanks TBH we have absolutely no money at all so just as well he couldn't get any. DP bought him some sandals on the market so they will do for now

I received this in an email.....made me chuckle so I thought I'd share it with you all

I was walking down the street when I was acosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner.

I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, 'If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?'

'No, I had to stop drinking years ago', the homeless woman told me.

'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?' I asked.

'No, I don't waste time shopping,' the homeless woman said. 'I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive.'

'Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?' I asked.

'Are you NUTS!' replied the homeless woman. I havent had my hair done in 20 years!'

'Well, I said, 'I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, Im going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight.'

The homeless Woman was shocked. 'Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.'

I said, 'That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine.'

TheMadHouse · 12/05/2008 12:57

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Rant time. My bloody mother has said that she doesnt feel well enough in herself to have the boys whilst I go to my hospital appointment, as she is worrying about me.

So need to find an alternative - MIL just had operation on her hands so she is a no no, BIL at work.

I am going to have to ask bro and hope that my neice is feeling a little better, as she is under the weather

Jas · 12/05/2008 13:00

TMH I hope you fid someonein time.

Morning all - I'm back and seriously lacking in motivation, so I'm posting to give myself a goal. I'll do as much downstairs as I can and report back at 2....

TheMadHouse · 12/05/2008 13:13

My brother is going to come up and do it.

Give them dinner and get their PJs on and stuff.

I do hate asking him, as he and his wife run a pub/social club and also have a 14 year old and a 2.11 year old. Also they had baby L last night, so will be very tired. But nice one bro

gem1981 · 12/05/2008 13:17

Hello guys I have been lurking around your threads for while now - please can I join you?

I am 16 weeks pregnant with second child DS is almost 2.

Need help keeping house togther so thought your threads would help me out!!!!

Ludaloo · 12/05/2008 13:27

Hi gem welcome aboard

TMH Phew nice one bruv! they do have their uses

I am just back from the park! Had a long natter with a couple of other mums and forgot the time!

Just going to vac, and get on with the washing before heading off to pick DD1 up.
DS has been ok this morning so maybe we can walk up.

Nutsaboutchocolate · 12/05/2008 14:00

Hiya Everyone Welcome gem

These threads will help you loads. A lovely please to have a chat as well

THM The was good of your bruv to step in at the last minute. I hope your hospital appointment goes ok.

Jas I hope the downstairs is going well.
I`m not looking froward to the mid/end of the week as the weather people said its going to cool down. I know the weather will set me back which will make me lack in motivation to do anything.

We had a great weekend The BBQ was great on Saturday evening and we all enjoyed being outside and having loads of fun. We cooked some bits on the BBQ yesterday lunch just so DS1 could eat some as well. DS1 did not want to go last night. (I knew it would have been even worse if we had a BBQ for tea last night) Once his mentor came to get him and said what sort of things they would be doing this week made him feel much better about going. It was really great having him home this weekend. He did not even ask to use the PC or play any computer games So no moods over not being able to play on them.

I cant do today mission so HNtree is going to do it later this evening. For our 2nd room we are going to do our sort of outhouse. It has a loo and sink (there is also a shower but its really old and yuck) There is also a little room for keeping coats,shoes & boots etc I going to give that a good clean. We might even repaint it as well. It is a very very bright yellow which is a bit too much on the eyes. Its OK in the winter but summer time......... Its like trying to look at the sun when we walk into that room. The loo area is white, {{{boring}}} Need to find a nice warm colour.

Im going to get the washing in and iron that now. Im loving this sunny weather. Its so nice to have outside dried clothes.

TTFN
HN xx

Jas · 12/05/2008 14:02

Yay for your kind brother TMH

Welcome Gem

Hello Luda How are you?

I've done an hour, and downstairs is tidyish, and I've cleared a path through dd2s room. I can't hoover as ds thinks it is great fun to turn it off every two seconds so I'm going to do the bathroom before the school run and a bit more bedroom instead, and hoover when the dds are here to distract him.

Jas · 12/05/2008 14:05

X posts HN It sounds like you had a nice weekend
I'm ignoring weather forecast. I'm only just getting used to it not being freezing all the time.

Ludaloo · 12/05/2008 14:13

Hi HN glad the bar-b-que went well, and DS went off ok in the end.

Jas I'm good thanks
Feet are better now

Just been on the phone to my AVON woman, who decided to tell me now (after I have been distributing my brochures like a looney) that as a first time order, there is a cap on how much I can sell! I'm now hoping my orders don't exceed the limit! I'm going to have to ask people if they can wait another month....bummer!

TheMadHouse · 12/05/2008 15:06

Luda A Cap - are they mad?

HN Glad you enjoyed your weekend

I have got DS1 from preschool.

Fly went by the by at lunch time as I snuggled and fell asleep with DS2 it was yum though. Only just managed to wake up in time.
