tort that is a great bed, we are thinking of something similar for ds in a few years - when he can be trusted not to try skydiving

grouchy what a fab surprise

Done

Dad put my mirror back up in the bedroom but couldn't put the blind up as the company forgot to include the instructions a- if looks a good blind though especially for the money we paid for it so may order another one for the kitchen before the sale ends
Dp has kindly mopped the bathroom floor for me
I have made dinner which is just finishing off in the oven
Washed up
Cleaned hog and surfaces
Shone sink
Put deodorizing powder down drain
just having a quick five minute sit before I serve up

I did want to vac upstairs but I think that may have to wait until tomorrow now

Tortoise · 17/01/2009 19:11

lol @ skydiving! ds2 is 9 so i think i can trust him. Although saying that he will probably try jumping off!!

swanriver · 17/01/2009 19:36

mine would be very keen on beds and skydiving but I fear our ceilings (already showing cracks) would collapse.

Tortoise · 17/01/2009 19:39

DD1 currently having a screaming fit at me because she doesn't want to go to bed!

swanriver · 17/01/2009 19:42

Poor you, me next! dd is heading upstairs looking a bit determined.

Tortoise · 17/01/2009 19:52

she is now in bed! I completly ignored the screaming lol!
Hope your goes without any problems!

TheMadHouse · 18/01/2009 08:28

Good morning

Strictly was fab-u-lous darrrrlings. I had a whale of a time. So much fun.

I am tired this morning as ds1 has been up most of the night and proceeded to wake DS2 at 5am , but I am dancing round in my dressing gown, so all will be well with the world.

Loads to do today, but need to get us all dressed and DH up first.

Although I need another cup of tea first

Spiderplant · 18/01/2009 08:59

Morning peepers

I haven't been on for a while so hello to all, hope you are all ok

Bit of a rough night chez wolf I am having a cup of tea in bed before I go and face the day. Off to see my grandpa's memorial bench at lunchtime.

Have a lovely day all bbl

scattyspice · 18/01/2009 10:13

Morning .

for all those who've had poor nights (good one for me for once!).

mad I am picturing you rumbaing through the day today .

wolf Hope you have a peaceful moment to remember your Grandad .

Well I can't quite believe my luck. Dh has thrown in a visit to cinema for DC as well as shopping trip (to buy my present) so they have just left the house and WON'T BE BACK FOR HOURS! . I'm gonna join you in a Rumba Mad!!

TheMadHouse · 18/01/2009 10:32

Scatty I think - cha cha cha or salsa actually. I think the rumba would be far to raunchy for daytime jiggling

Enjoy your day.

TD on
Beds made
boys are all wii -ing
I am preparing sunday roast - yummy - I am even doing saus stuffing and chippolatta's

Hi Everybody!

DH just took DD to swimming pool. So I am going to try & get as much as I can listed one ebay. I have travel cot, buggy, dd clothes, toys, 2 winter coats of mine & clothes. So It may take me a while.

Lamb, potatoes & carrots are roasting nicely in oven. I marinated the lamb in garlic, chilli, olive oil & lemon juice over night & it smells yummy.

Hope you are all well, and glad you enjoy yourself TMH.

Bye for now ladies....laters.

I'm exhausted now so I've put myself to bed.

Still buzzing from my old friend's visit yesterday. It has done my self esteem a hell of a lot of good and helped to give my low mood a good kicking. We didn't part under the best of circumstances so it must have taken him a hell of a lot of gumption to call and I must mean a great deal to do that. DYKWIM?

Oh....Grouchy News Update....BF and DH are safely in Adelaide and remember the poor dog in the beck before xmas? The local paper has reported she has been adopted by a bloke in the next town.

Glad you enjoyed the dancing TMH

Going to have a cuppa and a nap. TTFN
