Another hours worth of ironing done.
Probably put it away tomorrow. No time now.

I need to gather up DC's waterproofs and wellies before school pick up. It is really wet out. I hate the long walk we have when it is raining! Don't know if DS1 took a coat. Oh well! If he didn't he will get home a bit wet!

RR I feel a bit like that. Finally i have some time to myself to do more things that i want to do as well as keeping the house up together. So why can't i manage the house?!
No guests here at xmas so i can skip that one!

kiwibella · 20/10/2008 14:16

it's over my (pretty little) head . I'll have a good look at the site.

Jas · 20/10/2008 14:23

Hi,

My list is now only evening jobs still to do

Kiwi - If you can stick with the babysteps, it helps you set up your own routine which you can follow. Lots of us use MADs lists for the zone of the week (we focus on a different room each week on top of the regular wash up/do laundry type stuff) but I'm not this week as I have no bedroom, and no ensuite

kiwibella · 20/10/2008 14:31

oh, got it . I was confused about the zones.

scattyspice · 20/10/2008 15:45

Hello! I haven't been on for ages and feel as though I have completly lost touch with what everyone is up to - sorry

My dad is home from his trip so I am hoping to get my life back a bit as the week goes on. I have, however, agreed to take on a certain amount of the work I've been doing while he was away to ease the burdern from him. I hope it works out as it's be an extra couple of hours wages a day which would be v handy.

FLYing has been OK (ish) I have been able to keep on top of the basics but extras like ironing (not that I iron much) and the general clearing up/hotspot jobs have fallen by the wayside. I hope to catch up a bit this week if I can. I also hope to resume my half day helping at school if I can

It's dh's birthday tomorrow (the big 4 0 ) so dd and I have got a chocolate cake cooking in the oven. Hopefully we'll have time to decorate it before he gets home from work.

Ds was supposed to be giving Judo club a try this eve but he has a major attack of the grumps so I think we'll plan an early night instead...there's no way I fancy going out in the wind and rain again anyway!

I hope to be better at being in touch again - I've missed the chat
Bye for now x

scattyspice · 20/10/2008 16:31

House bleugh done (v quick).

Good for you Ruby .

bythepowerofgreyskull · 20/10/2008 16:48

afternoon all..
back from the days activities.. totally pooped.. DS2 has been a limpet all day, I think he is coming down with something.. he has needed lOTS of cuddles which on any other day of the week would be lovely.

Anyway sitting room still looks like a bomb went off in a dry cleaners and the is no tea assembled so the boys are having pork pie crisps and juice for dinner and I am having a coffee. We will return to a balanced diet tomorrow. ( I promise)

I will get on with things later just really need to stop for 10 minutes.

Jas · 20/10/2008 16:51

No Halloween smileys here (not that I ever use them tbh)

bythepowerofgreyskull · 20/10/2008 16:52

Jas · 20/10/2008 16:57

I've been looking....try pressing f5 on your keyboard. It worked for me
I apparently have to use them this year. There is no choice....

bythepowerofgreyskull · 20/10/2008 17:00

Hello ALL

Got side tracked today so just popping by to say Hi

Things seem good with the physio so I have to practise standing on 1 leg to strengthen my ankle. Sees the nerve impulses are intermittent too. Well at least I know what I'm dealing with.

Course tomorrow morning then...who knows?

Evening All

TheMadHouse · 20/10/2008 19:52

Evening again

Groucy Hope the pysio helps - have you thought about wii fit balance board?

Ruby How strage me and my BF (teacher 7-11 YO's) were discussing how bad it is for boys to learn now, as most of the teachers are female and learning is tailoured towards girls.

I am going to give the ironing a miss think I have done enough today. I am at the hospital tomorrow lunchtime to see the muscular-sceletal team regarding my blood results and my hands. Splints are def not helping - I take them off in my sleep and throw them at DH

Bewilderbeast · 20/10/2008 19:54

bythepowerofgreyskull · 20/10/2008 20:15

Ruby - think your 5 hours a week sounds great - good on you!
GO - Good luck with your balancing on one leg.. it is hard at the best of times - I wish you well.
Tigger - I can see your halloween smilies.

Today has improved.. I gave up and put the boys to bed shortly after 6, DH knows things aren't great so has helped with the sitting room and is now cooking dinner.
I have sewn on 3 more name tapes and have to arrange a party for a friend who sells silver jewellery (sp?)
