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.

It is lovely here, and is supposed to be like this all week It feels like it is getting warmer at nights too - summer is nearly here!!!!!

wastingmyeducation · 21/05/2009 08:11

Morning!

Well, it looks lovely out but the BBC says it's going to rain in a few hours.

I was convinced we had a dirty nappy when DS woke at 4.30 and got DH up to help and it wasn't. Then he woke us up at 7.15, thankfully as it turned out, being 1/2 an hour after DH had turned his alarm off! Eek!

  • breakfast, clear up
  • dry pots
  • fold dry washing
  • rinse and spin nappies
  • DS dressed
  • Me dressed
  • clean washing away
  • sort my clothes for packing

That'll do for now.

cikecaka · 21/05/2009 10:36

6.30 is really the only time we can go for a walk, with all the thing the kids have on. Plus the walk is done, you are not thinking about it for the rest of the day. DH works long hours so it is the only time that suits and if left to my own devices I wouldnt go.

PlumBumMum · 21/05/2009 10:58

Got him a litter tray think hes too young to know to use it yet

JustKeepSwimming · 21/05/2009 11:31

Plum - good luck with that then! By the time we brought our kittens home, their mother had taught them to use it, we only had one accident when Dh picked one up on his way to the litter tray.

CC - rather you than me! think my DH would get a right earful if he tried to get me out of bed any earlier than aboslutely necessary

Sun gone! am being optimistic with washing i think, looks like rain soon.

TrillianAstra · 21/05/2009 11:52

Hi all, hope you're having sun.

Good luck with the hospital CC

Love the kitten PBM - he's probably not too young for you to try to train him, although they do usually learn it from their mums - just put him on the tray whenever he has pooed and he'll get the message. Cats are pretty clever and they do like to be clean and have a place to poo. How old do you think he is? Is he eating/drinking on his own?

Today:
get up and dressed DONE
go to research place and give them blood DONE
go to Tesco DONE
buy too much stuff and make back hurt cycling back with it DONE
go to coffee with lab people (and take DP's thesis to his old boss)
washing up
apply for jobs

This week:
take spare chilli plants to people who want them DONE
clean bathroom
think of something to cook when SIL comes to visit DONE
supermarket (don't buy extra crap) HALF-DONE
clean cooker top
make place look tidy IT-DOESN'T-LAST
take DP's thesis in
think of something good to make DP get me as payment for taking his thesis in

PlumBumMum · 21/05/2009 11:55

He's only 4/5 weeks hasn't mastered going to the saucer yet so am feeding him with a dropper, I've put him in the litter tray and he has pee'd so hoping he will pick up soon to go to it!
Its been ages from I've had a cat and they lived outside at my mum and dads
