Mission

I felt bad about leaving with no link

Back after toddler group. No shopping done yet, but parents evening was ok yesterday. DD2 is "unique"

@ unique dd2 Jas Kaplum* like the name Must catch up soon! Did ds get the present I sent?

Oh God I hate parents eve . Jas you a really good neighbour btw, I'm sure she'll appreciate the thought and feel less vulnerable knowing she has people around her looking out for her.

luda thanks for the haloween ideas and link to that site, I'm going to look at it later and make some stuff with DCs next week (like a proper mother lol).

I had a great time last night. I bought a slinky top and black jeans for my Xmas night out with work (last 2 yrs I've worn head to toe Oxfam lol). You know you're out of the loop when you go into a shop and ask for something they no longer sell lol, I said I was looking for some smart black trousers and the lovely assistant gently told me that black trousers were old fashioned and all the beautiful people wear jeans to go out these days LOL.

Back later with a list (no school today here either).

Morning all

Feeling rather tender this morning, but at least I am funtioning a little

Morning routine is part done.
DS2 is refusing to get dressed

I have to make a call - our heating wont turn off (have had to switch off the boiler)

Music and Movement
Shopping (didnt get out yesterday)

Then my lunchtime task is to bleach everywhere (maybe that was my prob and why we re-infected). I dont use bleach based cleaners and you need to to kill off the virus - thanks Anne for the link

Back from shops and park.

mad Hope you're all feeling better. Don't overdo it with the cleaning, you need to rest up to let your immune system pick up again. Take care.

To do:
re boot laundry
bedroom hotspot
visit blockbusters!

I am back from music and movement and just sorting the pasta and sauce for the children (from the freezer, It makes me glad that I freeze leftovers in small bags, all I have to do is cook the pasta)

I am feeling much better so:

Ironing
Bleech clean all surfaces - whole house
Mop and hoover
Change my bed

I have hot washed all the cloths that i use, so they are germ free (did while out)

Anyone have the Duplo castle is it anygood?

JUST GOT BACK FROM TODDLER GROUP TO FIND MY W/M HAS BEEN BACKING UP AND PUMPING WATER INTO THE KITCHEN SINK, WHICH HAS OVERFLOWED ALL OVER THE KITCHEN. AAArgh! (Didn't mean to be all in caps but it is quite appropriate atm!)

I've mopped the worst of it and undone the u bend. I now need to unblock the pipe (and find out who has been putting fat down the kitchen sink) and clean the entire kitchen.....

I've been a bit of a lurker on your threads this week but I'm delighted to read today's mission - cos I try to wash my bedding on Fridays! I love snuggling in to bed on a Friday night with clean sheets . Hubs is working at home today so I'm going to vacuum and flip the mattresses too.

I have been trawling the flylady site and written up a daily and weekly checklist for my wee flat. I'll keep adding to it and refining it... and play along. I really hope that this motivates me to be a tidy little kiwi.

Jas... shame about your flooding - but it is a good reminder for everyone else to clean out their drains!

Now I've just found out that Virgin have taken money out of my account without me knowing and I've been charged by the bank I can't get through to anyone to try and get a refund today, either....

I'd really like to go back to bed and start again tomorrow.[sad

Hi all

I have had a nice morning shopping with a friend...couldn't find any black tissue paper...or black crepe paper anywhere!

I've bought white crepe paper instead...so I'll make ghosts instead of bats!

Bianca Glad all was ok for your DD in the end...hope she has a good day Your ghost idea is a good one!

Right...off to do a bit of house work (craft making has kinda taken over!!)

HI just popping in to say hello, feeling very sad as my friend has just been for 12 week scan and has lost twins so not doing much today.

tigger How sad.

I declare today a fly free zone for everyone that needs it..

jas sorry you're having a pants day .. get in the queue for wine/crisps/chocolate

Oh and welcome kiwibella sorry am having a self absorbed whinge today and forgot my manners

TIgger That is so sad, brought tears to my eyes. I lost twins at 20 weeks 12 years ago. It was a hard time. I hope she is getting lots of support

Tigger that is so sad, I am sorry for your friend.

Sorry to hear that Mad. My friend is at home with her husband, have decided to leave her alone for day or 2 then will call her on sunday. ( i sent her text earlier telling how sorry I was and sending my love and hugs and told her to text or call if she needed me and that I would call sunday) Does this ok? wasn't really sure what to do or say and felt I should offer some support without getting in the way.

Very Tigger hope you're friend is getting the support she needs.

Hello, like my accurate halloween name?

Just popping by. Had a manic morning as I didn't wake up until 7:35! this morning so it was a mad rush to be ready and out by 8:30

I did as much of the morning stuff that couldn't wait, dropped DS off at school and went to my course. I ended up doing another ladies make up and it looked very good! I was so impressed with myself.
