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.

Any news CWWM?

It looks like it might have stopped raining! So we're going out for a walk!

OOh, what have i missed!!!! cwwm having baby?? Any updates so far?

Hello everyone, and welcome new slatterns Hi sock

plum i have recently written out a list of jobs that need doing each day that is blu tacked to the cereal cupboard

I have been helping at a competition today so not done anything, however, last night i made my first ever purse and i didn't find it difficult at all! Will get DH to put a picture of it on later

Just got back from hospital after going in thinking I was in active labour 2cm dialated and monitor showed irregular ctx but they all stopped about 2pm and I have been sent home .

Very fed up and that I should know by now what bloody labour is .

Started having mild ctx again about an hour ago but not doing getting excited .

Plus DD may have to go to hospital to have her infection on her toe drained Think dd4 has the vomiting bug and dsis who was meant to be looking after dd4 when I have baby has come down with chicken pox .

Totally fed up only good thing is we are in the middle of a massive storm and it looks great .

Will read through thread properly later feeling knackered .
Welcome newbies and hope ds has a great birthday JKS.
Sorry for getting you all excited slatterns .

CWWM but with all that going on the baby is sure to come when you could maybe do with all sickness being away first

Oh CWWM, never mind about your trip to the hospital, sure you'll be back again soon .

We shall put our excitement on hold.

There is probably more but really must do ironing, we were supposed to be going to BIL engagement party but no babysitter so dh might have to go on his own, but hes not fussed (secretly pleased), I was also supposed to be going for high tea in a posh hotel as a pre engagement party meet up but dh is working and again no sitter, although don't really mind as I can't justify paying the money for high tea when I have so many other things at the min that require the funds first

My toilet leaked or overflowed or something while we were in bed last night. Not sure what happened, but there was water all over the floor. Really must get the ballcock seen to!

Just got home after jaunt out to the Debenhams sale with DS who was chanting 'big present this way' all the way round. Only stayed for an hour or so then found the ideal digger in Asda. Nipped over to the beach for a windswept walk and some lunch in a cafe then back home. Chucking it down now!

Got a few things to be doing whilst he has a nap.

Not really achieved anything so far today! read some papers, done some crosswords, been on the trampoline with the boys.

at trampoline.

DP decided to do some cleaning today - can you guess what he did? He cleaned the sink! I'm a but worried he might have been reading FLYlady.

PMSL TA - maybe he couldn't find us so wandered over to Flylady by mistake!!

CWWM - missed your post at 2-ish, hope baby doesn't hang about too long, then again would be better to get all the illnesses out of the way first.

Party went really well yesterday thanks
Soft play fun, then back here, stopped raining long enough for garden time, then tea, and cakes appreciated.
