Hello everyone

Haven't been here for a while as work (from home) has just been way too busy and I have had to let everything else slide.

I do hope you're all okay.

Trying to get supermotivated this week to:

get on with my work
get the house back in order
start redecorating

Wish me luck and have a good day, girls!

Bella x

swanriver · 09/02/2009 10:47

Good luck Bella!

bella29 · 09/02/2009 11:24

Thank you, swannie - if I get off MN I may actually achieve just a little bit of it!

Tortoise · 09/02/2009 12:05

Afternoon (just!).
Wasted my morning so far trying to get the PC to stay on then trying to get onto Tesco to do a shop. Site undergoing work.

Plan to make cottage pie for tea. Can make a start on that in a mo.

Rest of the house needs sorting out and i should get some of that done. Am feeling 80% back to normal now so i have no excuse not to do more!

Horrible rainy day so far. Risk of some snow overnight tonight but i think it will miss us!

Only tomorrow and wednesday left of primary before half term (well 2 days of inset first!) poor DS1 will have to go to school when the others are home for two days!

scattyspice · 09/02/2009 12:15

Mad - that sounds hard work! I need to get used to the idea of doing a workout at home (rather than going for a run) until the nights are lighter anyway. I think I need a dvd or something .

Tortoise · 09/02/2009 12:36

Scatty No he won't but his inset days will fall on days the other 3 have to go to school. So all evens out in the end.

TMH thanks. Good luck with the excercise. I want to get something to use but not really got space!

EustaciaVye · 09/02/2009 12:42

Ruby - you're a star. You have mail.

Been at work this morning. Got soaked on school run. Just collected DD2 from preschool. No housework done. Eek.

swanriver · 09/02/2009 12:49

Too late for photos now TMH, got sucked into sheet whirlpool. Ds1's having a sighttest tomorrow followed by dentist so I'll do his and my photos then, on mature reflection. (Oh we often visit grandma abroad, but now Eire needs passports due to it being a popular Emigrant dest, and you need individual ones not the oldstyle mother & kids in tow, and you can't just use your old passport to renew, and my name is spelt wrong on original Irish birthcertificate etc etc procrastinating further)

Done
Washed millions of sheets
hung out over bannisters
cleared floors ready for hoovering
deep cleaned 2 bathrooms
brought ironing downstairs
paid a bill
ate some leftovers from fridge (clearing

Cheers for the thread MAD

Serious procrastination her. I MUST do this personal statement but...I'm rather tired

intravenouscoffee · 09/02/2009 13:50

Hello all. Busy morning but have NO idea what I've been doing. Have tackled lots of ironing so pleased with that but there is still more to do. Is it breeding?

Anyway, dinner is cooking (casserole), washing is drying and lunch dishes are all washed and put away so just sitting down to a cup of coffee and a mars bar. V healthy

Glad people are having a productive day. Tort - haven't been on here since you've had your op so glad you're feeling better.
Mad Thanks for the thread
GO Good luck with the personal statement
Hello to everyone else, sorry for lack of messages.

Hey all

My goodness, you've been busy! I have too, honest - a major clear out of my desk hot spot, bit of paint-samples-on-the-walls, and a little bit of housework.

Feel so much better now I can see my desk
