Morning EV. Thanks for the thread, why so bad a day?

DD woke at 5.30 and didn't really settle again so am a bit tired but morning routine is already done so can't really complain.

Need to do a shopping list and get organised for shopping later.

dylsmum1998 · 19/06/2008 07:57

scattyspice · 19/06/2008 12:40

Hi all.
I am feeling all muddled (lots of things in my brain to remember, need to write things down).

Still planned the nxt 4 weeks at work (written everything in diary). Only 4 weeks left til holidays .

Made a list for various birthdays in july. Need to get to shops at WE (alone!)

Bought squash. Need to start a grocery list .

Check fly lists when I get home (its all lists today lol).

dylsmum1998 · 19/06/2008 13:17

scatty lists always help dont they!
well i've done everything except the ironing.
was very shocked when had the housing inspection i expected 1 or 2 people but got 5!! swarmed like flies through the flat checking everything (they were polite and asked can we go in bedroom etc, didnt just go in!) they have to come back and tighten up some loose sockets and they want to replace the taps that were put in the other week to replace the broken one

well the ironing will wait dd wnts to go looking for pirates so we're off out!!
back later

Bewilderbeast · 19/06/2008 13:31

morning all

am having a shi**Y day so far and I am a big fat crappy mother

DS whalloped his nursery carer this morning whilst screaming the place down

I realised I have totally ballsed up my childcare for next week

sorry am feeling sorry for myself

done
nothing!

Jas · 19/06/2008 13:32

Have fun pirate hunting Dylsmum

@ only four weeks til hols Scatty! I've just realised mine break up in less than 5

I need to get on top of the house before they are home all day and things descend into chaos. We had to spend my summer holiday savings a while ago, so I realy need to look for some free days out too.

I need a list, too I think.

I've got m routine printed out on the kitchen wall, so I'm going to work through that and comeback in 1/2 hour.

Jas · 19/06/2008 13:40

X - post Bewilderbeast. Sorry you are feeling rubbish. Do you have time to make alternative childcare plans today?

You do know you can't always control what other people do, even your own child. that ds hit out.... is not settled at nursery,or was it a bad day for some reason?

grouchyoscar · 19/06/2008 13:58

Afternoon ALL BWB Hope it's not the builder who I recommended to you that's blocked your drain . It's not like him.

Been out all morning and

DH GOT UP AND DID THE MORNING ROUTINES !!!!

so I got up in my own time, at my own speed and I feel a HELL of a lot better for it.

Dropped Ed off at school and went mooching Round town and the next town for the morning.

I bought

1lb sweet potatoes
6 barn eggs
Large tub of Oxy Action
Travel Backgammon (for DGD who is sgtill in hospital and going mad with nowt to do)

There was just nothing to get and I had a bit of cash melting a hole in my pocket.

Got home, straight onto MN to check the OJ threads, do the online banking, make lunch and

err

That's it

To do is

Not a lot. (well Kelly and Anthea would tell me different but...)

I have a steering group meeting this evening so I think I've clipped my wings for the day TBH

Suppose I should collect Son and Heir at 3 or there will be trouble.

Hope all are well and happy

Jas · 19/06/2008 14:03

My half hour is up and all I've done is mn

I need to go and cook tonights tea...

mummymusings · 19/06/2008 14:09

sagacious · 19/06/2008 14:37

I have gossiped with a friend over a cup of tea for two solid hours
Been out shopping with dd (ok we went into down bought bread and milk and went to the cafe)

I've now got 20 mins till school/nursery pick up then I'm doing PTA stuff after school

Gah !

bewilder don't be too despondant DD sat on someone at nursery yesterday and was dragged off kicking and screaming

Jas · 19/06/2008 14:44

You are doing well with the FLYing IOS Are you managing to get up earlier?

Tea(cauliflower cheese) is made so I just need to put it in the oven when we get back.

Nothing else done

I will try harder later.

babyjjbaby · 19/06/2008 15:46

the doctor rangf me today and the blood test have come back and the doctor is certain i have dieabetes so am really worried agin now any1 else got it lol

dylsmum1998 · 19/06/2008 16:39

BWB i'm sure your ds isnt the first child to lash out at nursery worker, don't beat yourself up over it - my nephew threw a chair at his have you had to resort your childcare for next week? hope you manage to sort it easy enough
GO wow that was a nice suprise for dh to do that. hope you enjoyed the lie in
babyjjbaby i think it depends what kind of diabetes it is. ds's grandad has one kind (cant remember which) he has to be careful what to eat not too much sugar etc, but apart from that he seems to be fine (unless i'm missing something, i'm sure thats all he does)

hello everyone else- looks like i'm not the only one not in the mood today.

we went pirate huntng, we found the pirates ship, but couldnt see the priates, dd nearly caught a couple of pigeons for her tea , then we went to the castle to see if we could find any knights, but unfortunately it was just schoolchildren and their teachers there today- still better luck next time

best get on with tea now

littlemissloopy · 19/06/2008 16:46

well today has turned out quite nice weather wise

DD2 and I got some books out, and did a bit of shopping. Picked up some nice bits and bobs in a sale.

Just thinking about what to do for supper now (I know...left it a bit late!)
