Oo TwinklyMad - that routine looks quite scary to someone who's still babystepping

So far I have
Got up and dressed
Made bed
Emptied and refilled Dishwasher
Put washing in

which is quite an achievement for me given my previous slovenly ways

Still got hot spots, room rescue and declutter to do but we are off to toddler group soon so will have to wait till we get back. I am plucking up the courage to walk there in this cold weather rather than be lazy and use the car.

bythepowerofgreyskull · 02/12/2008 09:19

dishwasher unloaded and reloaded
washing machine unloaded and reloaded

Is it to early to post christmas cards? Opinions please, I have actually done mine this year, they are normally done after the last posting date and sent off on a wing and a prayer , so I have never had this quandry before.

BBL.

EHM · 02/12/2008 10:23

no I received 1st ! by post today.send them 2nd class. Normally mine & written & posted by now. They are still in loft, waiting dh to retrieve so I can write & post maybe by the end of the week!

Jas · 02/12/2008 10:32

Morning all WheretheWildThings - I was wondering that, too. I have written all mine, but they have 1st class stamps on them as I got them free earlier in the year and saved them!
I'm going to post mine at the end of the week, I think.

I really hope those without heating get sorted soon. It was awfully cold this morning!

Ds has a cold, and is still not sleeping in his bed at night, so is very tired anyway.

I need to feed us both and get FLYing. (I did give him porridge this morning, but he wouldn't touch it - not like him at all.)

ByThePowerOfBaileys · 02/12/2008 10:48

ooh christmas cards.. mine are written and stamped but not posted yet - will post them at the end of the week.

have recieved 2 - one at the beginning of last week.. it felt too early.

so quick opinions.. friend has not turned up for coffee... she is a bit flakey.. I have stuff to do in town and was going to go after she had been - how long do I wait... she was supposed to be here at 10. If I get ready to leave at 11 will probably manage to be out of here by 11.05-10 do you think I have given her enough time?

she doesn't have a mobile btw.

Jas · 02/12/2008 11:22

I hope you've already gone bythepower
Sounded a very reasonable plan btw, and I really like your Christmas name, too

So far we've eaten a load of toast.

I need a kick....

AndaGrouchyBahHumbugtoyou · 02/12/2008 11:34

Hello you loverly lot

Hello

Only got back from the hospital with mum at 12.15 and only just made it to Preschool with DS1 - eek

I have put dinner in the slow cooker
TD is on
Lunch has been had

I am lacking my motivation today - tired, cold and the boys were so bored at the hospital. Mum said it was only for bloods and would take 15 mins 2.5 hours later

No plumber till tomorrow - can not talk about it
