Lists for the Slatternly - May edition

[TrillianAstra]

Okay, I am clearly worrying way too much about this but there are only a few spaces left in the old thread!

(What do I think will happen if we finish without a new list? We'll just make a new one. Relax woman!)

Thanks to alicecrail for the title.

Please finish the old thread before starting on this one - there could be a prize if you are number 1000.

HI everyone, Thank you all, we had awonderful sunny day, everyone had a brilliant day, and if you look at my profile you can see dd1 in all her finery, and the cake!!!!Have loads of beautiful photos but it takes too long to load

DS sat on my chilli plant and broke it . It did produce one chilli last year and had loads of flowers coming this year but not sure it will come to anything now-I've staked it up and am hoping he didn't kill it completely

Lovely pics Plum Wow! at the cake too! And is that your kitchen?

Trillian gardening is definitely addictive, have never been into it but dd loves planting seeds and looking at flowers etc so I've been doing a bit with her and now get quite excited when things start growing . In fact I've just been for a walk around to survey my seedlings

Glad it went well PBM, laughing at her in the bouncy castle in her dress. Mine couldnt wait to get changed!!!

plum i am so glad it went well. Your dd looks lovely and i am amazed at the cake!!! The way you were describing it i was sure it would be a mass of icing and cake but wow!! Does a new career beckon?

Headache is lingering a bit but i am able to actually move now so a definite improvement. It got so bad i had some calpol, as couldn't find any pills but then found a couple of ibuprofen kicking about in the bottom of the baby bag. DD was so good and watched cbeebies while i snoozed on the sofa.

I think i need a mini list to get me started:

Get dressed
Get DD dressed
Have lunch
Tidy up all the newspaper that is covering my living room
Empty dishwasher
Put sheets in tumble (washed them yesterday, and still do not have a line up )

I think that will do for now

Todays list for me:

Lunch for me and DS
DS milk, story, nap
Ring gardeners for quotes
Wash sheets and towels
Unload dishwasher
Go to wholefood store for breadflour, pulses etc
Vax landing and staircarpets
Sweep front porch and path
Go to tescos for chicken and peppers
Take DS to swings/park

Love the bouncy castle picture!
