Morning Everyone

Good Luck to grouchy

Thanks for the thread TMH Jas hmmmmm pancakes for brekkie! yum

Well two of my three are at school/nursery today.
DS and DD2 have both gone as their blisters have gone. DD1 still has the odd one or two on her hands and feet.

DS was upset he had to go and DD1 was upset she couldn't go! You just can't win can you! DD2 as always was happy to go to nursery.

I'm going to do a quick clear up and make some toast.

Morning all

Chaos seems to have set in at themadhouse.

DS1 has been up since 5am, his bum is still sore, DH is still not right and has gone to work regardless and my hand bloody hurts.

As DS1 is so tired he is beeing a royal pain in the backside and has sprayed bum stray everywhere, so we have spent the last hour trying to get the stuff off everything

He is in my bad books.

I am hoping swimming calms us all down

Happy birthdat baby BwB

Good luck Groucy

I will be back with a list later

Good morning

Mad sorry to see your dh is still not well & your lo is sore, hope they're on top form again soon!
Happy birthday to your ds Bewilder hope he has fun
Grouchy good luck with your interview

I have been up most of the night with sore shoulders, they're very painful but nothing wrong apparently, making another appointment at Docs if they're still bad tomorrow as I don't think they're right at all!

LO is in a fab mood for once so am taking advantage & having chilled out relaxed day of pottering & doing odd bits.

To do:
~pots away
~clean bathroom
~dry my undies . . . anywhere they fit other than td!
~dry load of washing that's in wm at the mo
~clear the stairs
~declutter shite pile on table again
~bake a loaf of bread for MIL as she's skint & no pennies until tomorrow!
~finish shopping list & Fridays budget now we know how many we have for bonfire night as it falls right in between pay days!
~strip & remake big bed
~declutter one bedroom drawer at least

Right off to put pots away, bbl. Have a good day all xx

TheMadHouse · 22/10/2008 09:58

I meant Bum Spray

It is a special spray from the GP which I got when DS2 had a really nasty infetion thing going on. Well I have none left now.

I had steam coming out of my ears like one of those cartoon ladys

Good luck grouchy

Jas · 22/10/2008 11:06

Hello again

I was wondering about bum stray, tooTMH

LOL at me being organised. We all had a yummy breakfast, and got to school without shouting, but the kitchen looks like a bomb has gone off in it still!
I also made ldc last night, but my main motivation for all this activity was the 12 organic eggs I bought for a pound last week that go out of date today

Have a lovely day out BWB and happy birthday little beastie

If your rl persona is anything like your mn one GO, you wil be fine at the interview

Kaplumbagadort · 22/10/2008 11:10

Morning.
PC doesn't want to stay on today so quick post in case it goes off again!

Going to walk the dog in a minute then clean bathroom.
Need to sort shoe rack again. Seems that it is invisible to the kids because the shoes/boots etc are all over the floor. Then they chuck them everywhere searching for a pair!

GO Good luck with the interveiw.

BBL hopefully!

tigger32 · 22/10/2008 11:42

lucysmam · 22/10/2008 13:23

Well, I'm in . . . our local PO closed down last week apparently! No signs anywhere, only found out at the shops just now from an old lady queueing at bus stop to get to the one in town! Soooo, kaplum if you don't mind, can I post the tights in town on Friday? If you need them before then I will get oh on his bike though so they get to you

grouchy I had to laugh at you preparing for interview being in bed!!!

luda would some Avon order forms and possibly some other bits I have be of any use to you?

My list is done, biccy's are in oven at the mo, along with flapjacks. Thought I might need something to munch while decluttering dressing table drawers!

nly other thing on my list left to do is shopping list, which I intend to do in a mo, while the lo is munching jelly! very very funny . . . she's struggling to get it on the spoon so trying to pick it up with her fingers but it's melting everywhere! Thank-God for bibs!!!

Right, kettle on then back to it!

Kaplumbagadort · 22/10/2008 13:52

Lucysmam Thats fine. As long as i have them before the 31st. I don't think i could manage of our PO closed.

Bathroom is clean all over inc windows.

Kitchen sink has been scrubbed too.

Shoe rack tidied. Wish i had taken before and after pics so you could see how bad it was.

Just going to sit and watch Neighbours and maybe Home and Away before school run.

lucysmam · 22/10/2008 14:08

I'm not sure how a lot of people around here will cope tbh, many of them are elderly or on benefits & simply don't have the cash to get into the one in town! It's very annoying that there was no warning as well, I thought it would make a nice walk out for the lo since the sun is shining for once!

I should be doing my list, but am still laughing at the lo . . . now eating a cheese toastie with my oh & covering the both of them in mayo . . . kids are sooooo funny!

Kaplumbagadort · 22/10/2008 14:16

How far is it to the one in town? Isn't fair on the elderly to have to try to get to it though.

I have to remember i have my flu jab Friday. Primary school has inset that day which is a bit of a pain! They have mufti day tomorrow to get donations for the xmas bingo. Have to take posh biscuits,mince pies or give a donation. I have no money until the morning and i don't want to pay out for the bingo but i suppose i have to.

lucysmam · 22/10/2008 14:21

It's a good half hour on the bus into town, feels like forever though

Could you make something for them to take to school? Shortbreads or something simple like that that would save your cash?

I'm debating applying for a p/t job as a make-up consultant based in our local Debenhams. Not sure how I'll get on though as I've not had a job for 3 years now but might give it a whirl
