Good morning slatterns

Car in for mot done (DD had to go out in her pyjamas, and have her breakfast in the car - she thought it was great!)
Go to baby bounce maybe (its raining)
Sort bathroom out

Feeling a bit unenthusiastic today, just as well really seeing as yesterday i was thinking of washing the skirting boards Although i had a dream last night that an estate agent rang us to arrange a viewing on our house (we are not even thinking of selling) and so we are trying to tidy the house, and i'm stressing because i should make a cake or biscuits to make the house smell nice, rather than worrying about the overflowing washing basket or grubby bathroom or the fact you can hardly get through our hall i am officially mad

Hello everyone!

FAQ - you disappear off here sometime over the weekend, hope you're okay?

I have read the thread but won't reply to everyone individually, just a for JKS.

No list today really, just one huuuuge task which is to clear out the living room and dining room ready for the new carpet going down on Thursday. We are going to the cricket tomorrow - yay! - so it's all got to be done today.
And I'm still in my pjs

Oh and I need to make a picnic, but that's it.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 05/05/2009 11:15

Oooh last post!!

TrillianAstra · 05/05/2009 11:17

Mwah ha ha!

That's what you think!
