i like your list btw!

wotulookinat · 17/09/2008 13:14

I can't remember everything that I've done.
BUT - Knickers are you dressed today ?

And is no-one making time to play with their kids today ?

I'm using playing with DS as an excuse to not do the housework

wotulookinat · 17/09/2008 13:21

(except he is asleep now and I could be doing some work, but I am on MN instead)

Wow, Knickers, your nesting instinct has really set in big time! WHen you are done, feel free to come over here and do some too!

wotulookinat · 17/09/2008 13:35

pssssst, Knickers, you'll be pleased to know that I am getting a new vacuum cleaner! The one I wanted was in the Littlewoods sale today so we've ordered it

SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore · 17/09/2008 13:40

im still feeling ill and cannot drink more coffee as i feel sick now too so im going to do the bare minimum i can get away with today.

  1. go to post office
  2. go to fruit shop
  3. locate dd1s ballet leotard
  4. pick dd1 up from school
  5. attempt trip to dancewear shop without buying the whole shop
  6. take dd to ballet - read a trashy mag for an hour while she is there.
  7. buy pizza on the way home
  8. eat pizza
  9. put the children to bed
  10. go to bed and wake up feeling much much better

oh i forgot i need to make up dd1s snack bag.

Well I used SSSS's idea for her number 10 and had an hour's kip and I do feel a bit better! Still all bunged up and stuff, but a bit more lively. I think I shall even take DS for a walk in a bit. Except it's cold.

Blimey, Knickers! I'm exhausted just looking at your list!
DS and I walked one of the dogs and I'm pleased with that - as is DH because now he only has to walk one this evening.

cheesesarnie · 17/09/2008 20:12

plus listening to dd and ds1 reading ,feeding pets,dh and children

wotulookinat · 17/09/2008 21:53

wotulookinat · 19/09/2008 12:48

No-one doing anything else then?

wotulookinat · 21/09/2008 12:22

God, I have become the ultimate thread-killer.
