Flying ahead, Confusing Clocks, Flytime Monday

[swanriver]

Dcs to school
dd still on sofa (has just thrown up on floor) sigh

Thought she was better alas, although keeping her at home to investigate tummyache. She had a very quiet day yest with Dad at home, so it must be same virus reviving.
She wants me to sit with her and tell her stories. But everyone slept well here.

Today I need to
mop floor
unload dw
put on wash
change sheets of boys and grownups
hoover playroom still not done
mop hall floor still not done
make a big pile of rubbish outside even if I can't get to dump

Dh has made v. useful suggestions for reorganising kitchencupboards to make more space upstairs ifysim. Threw out a big bag of stuff yest from top cupboard and made room for 7 tablecloths which have been lurking in spare room /airing cupboard/kitchen basket.

Enough rambling.
Action.

Morning all
swan Hi! thanks for thread. for DD, hope shes soon better.

mad hope you're on the mend today

Early start again....sigh... was thinking I would get to start the day at 6.30 now instead of 5.30, but DS woke at 5.45 so only got an extra 15 mins - despite him going to bed an hour later....except to me it felt like 4.45 so was even worse...sigh..

LOADS to do this week.... need to break down into day size pieces!

today:
re-home all the rubbish on the falling down dining room shelves so I can get rid of shelves , making more space in dining room!

Plant pansies in playhouse window boxes

Tidy out and organise garden clutter in playhouse to enable it to be used as play house again!

LOTS of clean washing to go away (as always on a Mon!)

Shopping delivery away

mow back lawn ?

More grass seed down on front

Hoover - up and down

Sort dinner (chilli in slow cooker - easy!)

Make hot cross buns

play endless hours of barbies with DD4 (her new obsession...sigh...)

Well spose I should get on then.... looks as if I might not be getting to bed tonight LOL

Have good Mondays all

thanks for the thread swan for dd. Seven tablecloths ! I don't even possess one!! Don't have a posh table, just a kitchen dining table which gets painted, coloured on etc. In the new house will be buying something 'posher'!
Just been to the bank - Mum looked after DD for me - to transfer money and even then there was a complication! Hopefully it goes through today so solicitor can exchange contracts tomorrow - keys on Friday!!!! Yipee

Hope you're ok, you sound a bit down? Do you have a reliable hot cross bun recipe? Would love to make.
mad thinking of you
Not sure what to do today. DS back at nursery but not had chance to enjoy time with dd as been at bank. may take them out this aft as i may not get chance otherwise when dd catches the chicken pox!

I know, I was thinking the same about the tablecloths, but they do absorb a lot of NOISE. and nice to lift mess bodily off table and shake it out.
Hurrah about keys.
Galen, it is very tiring this clock change. But it will be lovely when they are out late playing in garden.

wendy morning - will email you any second now honest!I'm fine - not down.... did do a lot of sighing in last post didnt I!
I do the hot cross buns in my breadmaker(well the dough that is) - could let you have recipe if you have breadmaker. If not there was an easy recipe in this months good food mag. could copy you that if you like - havent tried that one though!

swan I actually love it when the clocks go forward as generally prefer kids to bed a bit later and up later in mornings.... plus the best bit - I get to do some gardening after the little ones are in bed once it stays late long enough!Was expecting DS 2 to sleep a bit later though... sort of felt like the middle of the night still LOL

anyway so far..
today:
re-home all the rubbish on the falling down dining room shelves so I can get rid of shelves , making more space in dining room! CONTEMPLATEDE _SCAREY MAY ABANDON!

Hi all.

Had a busy weekend as DD is 4 today! (Where did the time go!). She had a lovely party yesterday, although it was at 10.30 (so felt like 9.30 lol). She has opened all her presents this morning (we have now entered the world of barbie and bratz too galen, oh joy!) DS has been a fantastic brothertothebirthdaygirl, no resentment at all .

Today:
play with barbies too!

BBtomorrow properly!

Happy Birthday Scatty's DD!

Galen - am in total awe of how much you manage to do!
Swan - Sorry your DD is poorly - I love tablecloths I have quite a few some for the kitchen table and some for the dining room table
Wendy - bet you are so excited about picking up your keys - you all ready to go this weekend then?
TMH - hope you are doing well.
TPT - where are you today?

Hope everyone else is ok.

Glad your party went well Scatty..was it SoftPlay ..our Softplay one was LOVELY too.
Only ds1's left - off to film I think(end of April - may delay till May what with Easter hols)

Have had a useless morning, dithering around. BUT HVE CRACKED DOWN ON TABLECLOTHS and sent 3 lovely ones (sob) to charity shop.Cheered up dd with long rambling story about catnappers.

Ddhas eaten a boiled egg. Off to dr's soon to check not grumbling appendix. Feeling worried something will strike when we are away for hols. Have heard so many appendix stories now from relatives friends that I'm suspicious.

BTW Galen, I love gardening in evening, esp twilight when you can't quite see the weeds, mess, just magical misty shapes.
BBTuesday.

swan cracking down on tablecloths

Keys on friday,greyskull but we are not moving in for a few weeks. have to give notice first on the rented house we live in.

Looking forward to gardening again.

happy birthday to mini-Scat! greyskull qumps ehm wolf and ev hello

well thanks to broken car i walked ds to school and dd to nursery then came back and have been doing some uni work.
had a bit of drama between ds school and dd's nursery. as i was crossing road the old lady that was crossing at same time as me tripped on kerb at the other side. poor thing fell straight on her face and had nasty gash above her eye. a lady stopped her car and came to help, luckily we was outside the docs surgery so lady ran in to get help and some nurses came out while someone phoned an ambulance.
the lady who went into the docs car got all scrathed and bashed, as the impatient git behind her tried to go round her car and hit it all along the side. that he couldnt wait a couple of mins for her to come back and move it cos she was helping poor old lady that had fallen!!
the nurses came out with compresses etc and cleaned up lady whilst waiting for the amubulance. they say lady gonna be ok will prob need some stitches but should be fine.

have sorted dry washing
washed up
tidied
hoover
completed 2 out of 4 sections of the portfolio i have to do for my next assignment.
