Morning EHM

Thanks for the thread. Glad you had a good evening, its great to catch up with old friends.

Morning to ALL who follow

Well the house is once again upside down! DH spent most of the night tiling the kitchen. Looks beautiful this morning, so he is having a well deserved lie-in.

I'm trying to organise around the debree, but not getting very far TBH.

I have to go and pick some paint today for the non-tiled bits. I fancy a nice deep red, but not too sure whether it might be a bit too dark.

Bianca glad yesterday went well, hope those boys didn't wear you all out too much! Good luck with party No2

DD2 is 3 tomorrow, we have a few friends comming round so I need to sort the chaos out before then!!
Last few bits and bobs need collecting today at some point. I bought her a card with Tigger and Pooh on (she is a huge fan) got it home and showed DH and he just looked at me blankly....the card had a great big number 2 on it.....DUH!!! I obviously am completely number blind!....so I have to pick her another one up today (I am sure she would be non the wiser, but I have been collecting all their cards up until their 3rd birthday to put in their keep sake boxes, so I need a 3rd b'day card for her off us really)

Anyway, off to tacklr the complete mess that is our house!!!

x-posts...morning giraffe

good morning all, hope we're all ok!

i think i was a bit over-ambitious yesterday possibly but i did manage to thoroughly clean the whole of downstairs and put the shower up which arrived whilst in the middle of my 'spring clean'.

so today is upstairs day, and clear the entire stairs of the crap thats on there. and chill after that i think.

oh and some washing to go on line when my 1st load is dry!

hope all have a fab day, bianca good luck with second party!

right ive finished it all, apart from the kitcen floor which il do on the way out the door.

off to work now.

have a good day everyone.

afternoon all

everyone is poorly in the bewilder house today

the kitchen has been cleaned and the floor swept - not that you'd know it after ds's lunch.
Rubbish out
recycling out
bed made

ds had a 3 hour nap on our bed this morning, just climbed on and instantly fell asleep (who i this child and can I keep him) so I lazed aroung and read a book

bianca good luck with the party

Hi everyone,
Loopy I was laughing about your card dyslexia.
Lucys you are busy, but it sounds as if it's all coming together finally.
TMH that carseat sick thing can be vile, glad it's all gone now. Don't overdo it though, chest infections can be nasty.
EHM you have to watch out with those friends from Scotland, they can leave you very hungover.

I've been home from work for about two hours and so far have put on the dinner and that's about it.
Still to do
Hotspots 6 mins
15 minute Declutter - still need to do DS's bookshelf
Tiling - can't even begin to think how long

Oh look how sad I am. There is no postage charge at John Lewis online just now, so I treated myself to this

It's for my hotspots.
My mum thinks I have gone insane - looks at me blankly while I rave on about my mini dustpan.
Ooo and we are going to try making icecream later hopefully it will not take more than 30 minutes or so (not including freezing)

good evening everyone

loopy lol!! i'd be daft enough to do that

mad hope you all had a good day at railway museum, we like to take lo there for a wander when we're not too skint n she always enjoys looking round the 'shoooooos' as she calls trains

bewilder hope you're all feeling better!

rowingboat mini-dustpan???????

well my stairs are finally clear, lo's room doesn't smell of stale water any more and our room just needs a run round with hoover and polish tomorrow and all done. then i can start the week afresh n feel like i've actually got somewhere even though you wouldn't know ive spent 2 days cleaning from top to bottom.

Hiya, hows it all going?

I'm having a FLYing mare today....absolute mare!

I'm completely tidying in vain...its like running in quicksand. As fast as I'm sorting....it is messing up behind me.

DH decided it would be a fantastic idea....whilst I was in town choosing paint...to empty EVERY SINGLE toybox/stackbox/toys from under the bed/toys in the hangers/toys on shelves and any other toy he could find from around the house and pile them ALL in a gigantic pile in the middle of the kids room!!!!
AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!
WTF was he thinking!???

Wouldn't be so bad, but he then jumps ship in favour of painting the kitchen!!!

It took me 2 hours...and about 2 bin bags full of crap to sort it all back out

Don't worry...I have informed him that if he does it again, its DIVORCE!

So needless to say the house is still absolute chaos! The kitchen contents have taken over the WHOLE of the downstairs....washing is piled all over the place....the kids have created a tsunami aftermath in the lounge, as it has been the only room they have been able to play in all day.

I have all of DD2's pressies to wrap, the whole house to tidy, a party to prepare for, a half decorated/painted/tiled kitchen to finish....

All before 1 pm tomorrow!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!

Evening all

We didnt end up at the railway museum, I forgot we had a party to go to, so did that and then had a look round York.

Boys fell asleep in the car so are still up (normally in bed for 7pm). I am coughing like an old lady who is on 60 a day, although everyone commented on how well I looked post surgery, which was really encoutaging.

LML Men - different planet is all I can say.

BWB Hope yu are all feeling better soon

*Rowingboat How cute

[sob sob] I have just discovered my neighbour has given the kids 3 giant jigsaws to play with!!! NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

hurrah for the compliments TMH

DS1 loves jigsaws - he is mad with them and can do upto 100 peices. My issue is keeping them all together as DS2 messes them all up

I'm still up doing the house. DH is still painting, I've grouted, wrapped pressies, tidied the lounge (as much as I can as it is still full of kitchen crap!)

Better get on!

Well that's me....I HAVE to go to sleep.....DH is doing a sterling job so I'll leave him to it.

See you all tomorrow xx

I have just realised....this time 3 years ago I had just given birth!! She was born at 1.25am

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww

Morning

Happy Birthday LML DD2 - yeh 3 today

I let DH have a lie in. I am feeling a bit pants TBH. Coughing lots, but we are having a chilled day, with no real plans.

morning all.

loopy hope dd has a fantastic birthday! & your house is back to normal

mad enjoy your day chilling. sorry to hear you're still not feeling on top of the world, hope you're better soon

i'm not doing much today, quick hoover upstairs and on the stairs, make lasagne, make stock for tomorrow night's tea and thats about it i think apart from basic bits like pots & get a shower n dressed at some point.

might take lo to park while daddy at footy this morning..

have a good day all

Morning all,
Loopy your house is going to look gorgeous with all that grouting and painting and things. Don't worry about the mess, it's worth it to have lovely sparkly walls.
Hope your DD has a lovely birthday. Will she be starting nursery/Pre-school in September?
TMH have a great chill-out and remember to take it easy. Is your DH better now? If you have a chesty cough I can recommend any cough medicine with gaufenisein (sp?) it works really well.

My big bruv is up visiting and will be over some time today - he's a bit non-committal on times (just like when he was a teenager).

I was thinking of using the afternoon routine to think of a recipe for dinner

Oh and another thing, I want to start running (it's free) so I need to make a plan that I will stick to, which is realistic. Does anyone run?
