Alice - mmm dinner sounds yummy. I always end up talking about kids whenever I go anywhere too.

JKS - night nurse is lethal stuff, glad you got more sleep though!

CWWM - I'm glad he's sucking up. You just concentrate on you and the baby

Good morning everyone.

Can I dump my to do list here again today?

hello Winter - of course you can dump your list here - I renamed the thread slightly this time as I realised that some people who really aren't slatterns were avoiding the thread as they didn't realise it was also just a dumping ground for "to do" lists for each day

Mmm, mozzarella and parma ham and chicken sounds looooovely alice.

Good luck with reloacting your spaceship () Ali

I love using the weight graphs on there
Will have to try and do a weigh-in tonight before going to dinner as that'll throw off anything tomorrow, lol.

Wintersun - hi there

FAQ - good to see you back!

AliB - is he finished yet? LOL at the description of the fridge

Alice - glad you had a good time. I don't have much else to talk about if i'm honest that's just temporary i hope until i get more of a life one day....

Right, hello ladies, thank you for all the welcomes! I have lots to do today and ds is off school with a sore throat, argh...

Washing up and clean kitchen i.e. wipe down surfaces, clean sink with Cif
Peg out the washing
Dust whole house
Clean hamster's cage before the RSPCA raid the premises
Swiff and mop the floors
Sort out my work bag and what needs to be done for school over the holidays, i.e. lots
Go to post office
Drop £10 through friend's door for a mutual friend's joint bday present
Go shopping for boyfriend's birthday present, completely clueless and it's our first birthday together, so no pressure to get it right, obviously...

Just having a quick cup of tea before launching in to it! Hope everyone has a good day!

I get your point Trillian, though sometimes hoovering is fun, I like all the bits of crud and dust disappearing.
What area is your phd in? just cos I'm nosy ()

JKS, women have a lower centre of gravity which would make it easier, but we don't have to tell them that!

He is finished!! We have to wait for the edges to dry and then we can move everything back in.

Trillian you are quite productive this morning

Parsley - ooh exciting, how new is the boyfriend - can we help with present ideas?

Well just back went out to go to bank, and on my way there my friend rang to say she had her baby this morning (her 4th girl) so had to go buy a present, and decided I would go to Boots and buy.......a mooncup!

at 'quite productive this morning'. Do I get a gold star? Feel like you are all professional busy mummies and I am a slacker student-type who should just get on with the three things I have to do every day (which is why I fill up my list with silliness).

JKS - where are you going out for dinner?

PBM - you bought a mooncup as a present for your friend who's just had a baby? I'm sure I must have read that wrong.

Wasting - I do quite like seeing all the stuff inside my cheapo-dyson-ripoff-hoover swirling around. I'm always at how much there was even when it doesn't look dirty.

Boyfriend present buying could be fun Parsley- how old is he, what's your budget, and does he have any special interests?

Nope moon cup for me!
TA you do make me laugh,

ROFL at busy professional Mummy - I am MNing in my pjs still!! In fact I must go and get dressed before DS wakes up from his nap and wants lunch.

I rather like the idea of you thinking i'm a 'professional busy Mum'

Lazyarse is more like it
