Morning all

I have toothache again, so have been up since midnight.

I went to bed early, but can not get back to sleep, so I have:

Cleaned the inside of the conservatory windows
Leather cleaned suite in the sitting room
Leather cleaned the sofa in the conservatory
Put the cushion covers in the washing machine
Emptied the dishwasher

If I still can not get back off then I will clean the dinning room chairs (leather) and polish.

The up side is at the least the cleaning is getting done

I have had a bath and washed my hair

I have also leather lustered the dining room chairs
Put the tumble dryer on
Loaded and the washing machine again

I can not concentrate on reading and everytime I lay down the pain seems to intensifly

It is really warm here, but raining loads.

Crikey mad .. well at least your house is clean .. good luck with the dentist

I've eaten some porridge and looked at my Next autumn/winter preview catalogue (I obviously spend far too much money as the courier says no one else in the village has got one apart from me

Need to chuck kids in the bath and sweep the living room floor apart from that its pretty tickety boo

Dh back this afternoon (hes been away on a conference) so hopefully we'll do a "family" "fun" thing fly stylee

Have a good day all (scatty its overcast here)

Oh and waves to ev

Ludaloo · 07/06/2008 09:46

Morning

TMH Oh poor you, hope the dentist sorts it out, you must be shattered!
Sounds like the house is getting the benefits though.

Hello to EV and scatty and saga

Well dh is out all day marshalling a car rally.
I am going to distribute some more of my Avon books.

Kids are still in PJ's, but I'm dressed.

Ludaloo · 07/06/2008 09:54

Oh...and I am also feeling a bit bad....I had had a rant about the family opposite, (as I usually do for one thing or another) they had parked their car in our space, (they have two cars and then her parents come over pretty much daily and block even more space)
Anyway, it appears that the husband has left! Packed all his stuff and gone.....but the most awful thing is, that he has been having an affair with her best friend! I feel awful, as I wouldn't wish that sort of thing on my worst enemy...and I was in mid rant to DH as her parents were consoling her
To make matters even worse for the poor woman, he is moving in with her best friend only 20 yards down the road!

Ludaloo · 07/06/2008 10:16

Well, the mist has lifted and I think today is going to be a schorcher
I have slightly itchy eyes, which means the hayfever must be kicking in....it is late this year. Must go and take a tablet.

Ludaloo · 07/06/2008 10:16

scorcher.....

Hello there.

OOOO TMH Hope the dentist has been able to help.

RR Did you get the fancy dress done for DD? I'm sure you would not be phased with you're creative talents.

Scatty and Luda as it's overcast here

to saga and EV

Yesterday I approached the school learning mentor about seeing if they could help me with Prince George. I ended up having a bit of a meltdown as she empathised with the pressure I'm under. One of the coffee morning mums suggested we go to the main town and we had a day of retail therapy (at the discount shops ) Home, collect kids, coffees, Prince George would not help getting ready for rugby training so mad rush to get sorted and a taxi to the field. Then FIL picks me up to go and collect an eBay purchase from next town (part of Ed's birthday pressy) Then catch up on the Flying when DH out of the room. Phew

Late start this morning. DH got up with Ed and let me sleep I got up for breakfast and

Administered TLC to the 4 B&Q purchases from yesterday (3 organic herb plants in the 'take em away before we kill em' reduced sectiom)
Swept kitchen
mopped front roon
mopped kitchen
Take wet washing upstairs
Put dry washing away
Hang wet washing to dry

To Do

Probably loads but I am trying to be nice to myself

Dentists couldnt do anything, but prescribes anti bs I have a massive absess under the tooth. So I am going to have a root cannal, but not yet. I have 7 day dose of ABs and then back

He said the pain will not stop till tomorrow. It is horrendous worst pain in the world

scattyspice · 07/06/2008 18:20

Hope dentist was helpful mad.
Retail therapy good idea GO
for your poor neighbour luda. Its the kind of thing you think only happens in soaps.

Had a good day. Here's a tip: if your kids are bored, try suggesting they help clear out some toys for charity shop. They will then spend all afternoon playng with the toys you'e trying to chuck out !

Morning all

I am feeling pants - drugged up so much that even moving is an issue, but still in pain.

Poor DH he had to look after me moaning all night and then DS1 was unwell.

I can not sleep with this pain.

I hope the abs kick in soon and you get some relief from the pain. TMH

Hello FLYpals

Beautiful day here today, makes you want to get off your butt and get stuff done. External Flying

Been doing some gardening today. Trimming shrubs, pulling weeds,cuting down an elder bush, stripping the leaves for compost and the branches sorted for council collection. I have some bulb fennel to sew before the nday is out.

To Do

BBQ
Clothes ready for morning
Ironing
Lunches

I'm trying not to stress. I can roll some stuff til tomorrow.

TMH Dental pain is awful, worse I've ever had. I'd rather give birth. Boots Dental Pain tablets were my life saver with my 1st wisdom tooth. It flared up recently and the gum is bruised and sore but I have no infection (phew) it just sodding hurts. I'm 35 and I'm teething! I'll see if we have any Anbersol left

Hope all are having great days, gotta scarper and do the seeds

Ludaloo · 08/06/2008 17:17

Hi

Have been out most of the day. Decided to spruce the garden up, but DH decided to buy the kids a paddling pool, so the lawn didn't get mown, but we did buy bedding plants for the empty tubs we have lying around and they all look lovely now. Bought a couple of hanging baskets too and an ornament...of a mole (the kids picked it)

The house is a tip, the kids and the house are soaked, the garden is a bomb site, nothing is ready for tomorrow the kids haven't even done homework! Piles of washing to be put away everywhere, food shopping half unpacked, DH has sloped off to work, supposedly to get a strimmer but he has been gone at least an hour and a half!!
But it is a lovely sunny day....and the kids are very happy...so hey ho...I'll have to rescue the house at some other point.

Hope you are all ok and enjoying the weekend

dylsmum1998 · 08/06/2008 20:11
