I have done absolutely nothing and can't be arsed

JustKeepSwimming · 23/04/2009 10:12

LOL FAQ - go and have a bath, that will tick stuff off and get the day started but doesn't feel like an actual 'job'!

TrillianAstra · 23/04/2009 10:15

Morning everyone. I am being lazy today, sitting on sofa going

Hope the lack of sickness continues Flame.

JKS and FAQ - I doubt the other mothers notice your thrown-on clothes, they're probably in pyjamas under coats themselves.

Good luck with the miracles PBM.

Wel done with the baby-stuff-sorting CWWM.

Sorry to hear about your sister alice. My family (specifically my dad's family) are not so much into the child neglecting but at the last family wedding my aunt (sister of the groom) got into a physical fight with her mother. An thwas on some tropical island so they were all stuck there with each other for a while after it happened. I didn't go.

Yes I know DD bed is covered in clothes but the Ironing Board is set up so it looks productive.

Hello - just popping in. This doesn't look too daunting, which is good! I haven't made a list yet so hope you don't mind me lurking a bit. Not really sure what to put on it - I said I'd phone the (non emergency number) police today as somebody egged our house last night Not that I'm expecting them to do anything but there have been a few vandalism incidents here recently so I feel I ought to report it.

PS I am SS from yesterday's thread if you saw it

TrillianAstra · 23/04/2009 11:47

If I were going to lie on MN I'd go over to AIBU and cause a ruck, not claim to have done chores in order to be told 'well done'.

PlumBumMum · 23/04/2009 11:57

PlumBumMum · 23/04/2009 13:15

Well my wonders have ceased for a min,
our dog just got knocked down, feeling a mix of sad and relief it wasn't the other dog, and angry at the stupid dog, dh just spent all morning fixing a hole and she still managed to push a hole in the barbed wire and got out!
Dh feels bad too because he was relieved it wasn't our lab(who we've had from before we were married), the second dog Sally (named during our Cars phase) we got given to us when we moved here because she was always escaping from a tiny garden into a street, it didn't matter about more space she just wanted out

Thank God nobodies car was damaged, we live off a very fast main road

PlumBumMum · 23/04/2009 13:23

Sorry forgot I had left soup on, dh in now for a cup of tea,
hoping the dcs won't be too upset as they had just come round to her as she was very excitable and abit much for them

TrillianAstra · 23/04/2009 13:50

Oh no Plum, is the dog okay? Actually reading your post it doesn't sound like it. Are you okay? I guess the driver of the car is a bit shaken too.

cikecaka · 23/04/2009 14:04

Oh Plum, hope the dog is ok!
