[TheMadHouse]

Evening all

I have done my daughterly duty - beed to mums and washed pots, tidied round etc

Boys are in bed and I have dinner in the oven.

Bianca Cool about the camera, but poo about work.

Menopause has killed my braincells

Groucy Have you heard from the VET?

We are off out to the last agricultrial show of the season tomorrow, so hoping for good weather.

[lucysmam]

hello hello

had a beer, all chilled watching shite soaps with oh

Did nothing this afternoon apart from wander to shops & make spag bol for tea tongiht as oh kinda took over the house after J went to school.

Mad I love shoes too! Have at least 150 pairs at my dad's that there's no space for here & cafebistro I didn't know feet grew when pg! Will warn BIL's gf as she's only 8 weeks & already quite big!

Bianca . . . egg throwing contest? Why on earth???

I've just got pots to wash this evening & my list for town to do before mopping the kitchen floor & then going to snuggle with oh & watch Death Race with Jason Statham . . . yum yum

[tortoise]

Oh and DD2 has thread worms (again!). So i treated us all today after school. Will let school know on monday.

[tortoise]

Evening all.
I have a cold and a sore throat. DC all fine thankfully! Fingers tightly crossed they stay that way although it is probably the year for my lot to get ill! DS's and i think DD2 haven't had sickness bug for 2yrs+. DD1 only had something very mild last year. We seem to get all the coughs and colds which is fine by me.

Hope all poorly people/kids are feeling better soon.

I am now the proud owner of a Tuxedo pre pay credit card. Finally i can buy things online! 1st job is a Tesco shop online. And Look for some thing for DS2's birthday which is in 3wks(Or so he keeps telling me lol!). Such a great idea too. This way i can't get into debt and i just have to stick money on it when ever i can or need too and it will be there for me to spend when i need it.

Haven't got much done at all this week. Next week will be better. DD2 is at school until 12.45 each day. That will give me time to list all that stuff on Ebay.

Bianca Egg throwing? Sounds messy fun. Have fun working out your new toy! I love my digital camera.

Am at your shoe collection TMH. I have only a few pairs of shoes/boots/flip flops. Recently bought some Dr marten boots off Ebay and i love them! I want loads in different colours now lol.

[BiancaCastafiore]

Hello, not really read through the thread, sorry!

I had a friend over for coffee this morning which I had forgotten about and then as soon as the coffee was made I had a phone call from work wondering where I was - I had completely forgotten I was supposed to be working today! Duh!!
Friend went home and I rushed into work so my day has been a disaster really...nothing has been done which needed to be done except that I nipped out from work and finally invested in a digital camera! Photos of kids costumes should be available tomorrow sometime....if I can fathum the fancy camera!

We are off out now to an egg throwing contest

[TheMadHouse]

Yes I picked up my script and I am going to do what you suggested.

I really do want the shoes, but can not justify them, we are over the overdraft this month and now DS1 needs waterproofs for school - oh and my fav jeans ripped yesterday - unfixable

[TheMadHouse]

evening all

I got a phone call from the school - god I was all of a panic, but it is OK. DS1 had been playing outside in the water and was soaked to the skin, his shoes are dripping.

We all went and had a cuppa at friends house, it was well needed and I also cleared somemore of the baby things for her newborn little boy that is due in January

I need to e-bay 2 prams this weekend for more christmas money or even patent mary janes

[minorbird]

Afternoon all, my organised mum calender has come! Hurrah! And I am very impressed that by meal planning - I saved over £10 at the supermarket today! It can't be a coincidence! And, I can rest assured now apart from perishables, I have plenty of food for all of our meals this week. Its such a blardy good idea, I cant believe I have never done it before! It also forces you to be a bit more creative, me the LO are making cookies this afternoon, I've never done that before in my life! Flying is turning me into a Stepford Wife! LOL

[cafebistro]

Dont worry about the link not working Lucysmam...I wont even try anything like that, totally computer illiterate. You've given me loads of ideas and been really helpful .
Madhouse at your shoe collection. I used to love buying shoes when I had disposable income as opposed to no income . Also my feet grew during my first pregnancy and never shrunk again. So ive got shoes that are a bit tight that I wont get rid of....There may be a chance that my feet might shrink back down right?

Done-

Cleaned up after lunch
Cleaned Fridge
Laundry
Meal plan ideas

To do-

Change Bed
Hoover throughout
Room rescue

[ludaloo]

Rubes I really admire the way you look after your lot You seem to keep everyone happy...my DH would absolutely love it if I looked after him as well as you do for your DH!!

[ludaloo]

Well you know, as you say TMH, there are definately worse things to indulge yourself with!

(That's what I keep trying to convince myself about my DH and all his lego!)

[TheMadHouse]

What makes it worse Luda Is I am hankering after a pair of purple patent clarks mary janes but they are £45. I have no cash at all. I used to buy shoes all the time before the children, they were my thing rather than diamonds or drugs - he he he

[ludaloo]

@ all your shoes!!!

I've probably got about 3 pairs of shoes/trainers/boots to my name!!!

[ludaloo]

Hello one and all

I'm only just back in today! Had to cover at the nursery. 12 small children...nightmare!! They all thought it would be a good idea to poo in the drains outside today!

Now just trying not to let the washing get out of hand so one loads just gone in. I'm just sat eating a packet of the new Walkers Lamb Curry flavour crisps....really nice!!

Gosh its chilly here...the sun came out earlier and it was stupidly hot!
I've heard we are in for an Indian Summer!?

[lucysmam]

Anyone noticed I'm here a lot today!?!? OH has taken over with the lo so I am redundant, which means I can play on MN all afternoon

But I am a bit bored, and also gasping for a cuppa and biccy. Off to the kitchen I go, sure there's some more pots to wash or something to be done in there, always is

[lucysmam]

cafebistro may be something useful in here, it's one from a while ago when I had some random fish to use up smiwww.mumsnet.com/Talk/1379/586770le

Hello Giraffes,Laura, Bewilder EHM, Tigger, Greyskull, Bianca, Ruby, Cafe, Minor, Lucys, TMH, Shannara,Scatty and Ludaloo
We've been offline for a couple of days and are now back on. Yippee!!
Sorry to hear so many of the children are feeling ill. I remember that flu that used to go around university the second week. The lecture theatre would be empty by week three.
Guess what! I've almost finished my tiles. Yay! I know I know. But at least we are nearly home and dry, definitely going to post a photo after (carefully avoiding the bashed and marked walls)
Hope your BIL's test are going OK Ruby
I haven't had time to read all, but hope your mum is improving TMH I noticed her BF was helping out last time I checked.

[Shannaratiger]
