DH has done all the morning routines

Curry was lovley - I made naan's too with poppy seeds yummy

Morning all
Glad you enjoyed the curry Mad!
Went to bed late again, stuck watching Children in Need. We all had lie in though til 8.30 and when I got up DS (4) had put breakfast cereals in everyone's bowls, got the milk and juice out and spoons - bless!

Off to yoga this morning so should feel better, then we are getting a couple of hours child free yipee! Going to avoid housework and shopping and go for a walk somewhere just me and Dh - first time in months and months. REally looking forward to it

See you all later and have a good day

Morning

Ohh yes, I spotted Dame was back Good to see you

I am clearing up the debris from yesterday. It's not too bad really, I just need to run the hoover round now and return all the cake tins etc to their correct owners and I'll be done.

I was supposed to be working this morning but haven't gone in cos ds was poorly earlier...he has brightened up a bit now though...I expect it was all the bouncy and eating which went on yesterday.
Dh has gone to work instead.

Had a 15 minute tidy up before bed so I came down to a tidy kitchen, bliss.

DS didn't wake up until 8:30am when he's usually up with the lark, so we had a lie in, bliss.

Load of washing done and drying
Sink still shiny
Got a hotspot to hit

But it's working again

tortoise · 15/11/2008 13:04

Hello.
Feeling a bit off at the moment. Was ok until i ate some toast then felt really sick. Not so bad now and am getting hungry!

I have kept busy to take my mind off it and have wiped all the bathroom walls down with bleach. they were getting rather mouldy. Looks much better now. DD's say it smells like a swimming pool!

Also Tesco delivery arrived and has been packed away. The stuffing wasn't on the list . Sure i clicked to add to order. Oh well!

Put more on Ebay last night. Here if anyone wants to have a look!

Also ordered a new tree and a few other bits from wilko online last night. The sing and splash Fifi that DD2 wants had £6 off.

MyDingaling · 15/11/2008 13:59

fallen behind with baby steps already! DD2 has had a stomach bug so spent last couple of days trying to keep on top of it. I am going to use the weekend to catch up so I am ready for monday! Off to shine my sink!

tortoise · 15/11/2008 14:48

Load number 1 million is in the machine! Only another million to go!!
Plus loads going through TD as no where to hang anything!

BiancaCastafiore · 15/11/2008 15:45

lol Tort. I have just put load number 4 in the wm. The td is on and every hang-able surface has washing hanging from it! I'm not sure how I managed to get so far behind! Thank heavens I only have half teh children you have - I have no idea how you keep on top of laundry/food/anything

Greyskull at the cake for your mum - your cakes are beautiful

Ds has gone to a party and dd has a friend back to play. We still have the bouncy castle so dd and friend are playing on it. We had alomost 60 children through teh house yesterday and not a single muddy footprint on the carpet - I spend 10mins upstairs just now hanging up washing and have come down to muddy footprints running the length of the living room

grouchyoscar · 15/11/2008 15:49

tortoise · 15/11/2008 15:51

Greyskull The tumble dryer is working overtime!

Bianca Thats the problem, i don't keep on top of it all. Which is why i am drowning in a pit with no energy to sort it. But i will have to if my friend is going to sleep here when i have op in a few weeks.
Sorry but lol @ muddy footprints. I get Dog prints all over my carpet/floor. Luckily seems to hoover off easily once dryed out!

DS's will be home in an hour. Feel like the day has flown by. DD's have been playing on the V-smile most of the day.

grouchyoscar · 15/11/2008 15:53

Oh yeah...Welcome back Dame it's strange, I was thinking about you yesterday 'hmm I wonder if Damewashalot is OK?' It's great to see you again

grouchyoscar · 15/11/2008 17:37

Jas · 15/11/2008 17:38

ludaloo · 15/11/2008 17:42

Quick Hi while my bath is running

Haven't had a chance to catch up but I hope all are well.
