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.

HELLO TA did you not read my posts, no lemon drizzle meetups!

Sorry, it took me a while to write that last post while also making chilli for lunch (had a craving for hot spicy meatyness cos the weather is so awful) so your posts weren't there.

I will do as I'm told, sorry mum.

Actually I might beg, steal or borrow and get a ticket to join you Trill, if you bring chilli as well

I shall do some baking this week.

Chilli sounds good too! Trillian you make lots of yummy food!

trillian i didn't know you were stalking near me

Was in quite a good mood today until i text my best friend to say sorry i didn't organise for her to come over last night (DH goes out with his geeky friends most tuesdays) but Dh didn't go out and i have fluey bug anyway. She then text back saying 'poor you, you are always ill lately' erm... I have been ill only once (other than this) since having DD 18months ago and she is the one always complaining of period pain or her hernia (which i'm sure is painful) so a bit grrr at that (irrational, i know)

And then i spoke to my dsis, and she was telling me about a house they are thinking of renting that costs £390 a month (which is quite reasonable i thought). The only problem is that at the moment they are in a council flat, and her dp has been declared bankrupt and they are always spending their money on holidays/new clthes/take aways, and then complaining how everyone has more money than they do So i said it sounds great, but best to have good sort out finacially to make sure you can afford it etc and she just has an answer for everything about how they won't spend so much money up there because they are near the beach and ..... AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Sorry for the rant, feel a bit better now

I am going to sit on birthing ball and bounce around on it while the apprentice is on.

Hope everyone is ok night night xx

Bless your dsis CWWM, .

I remember last time decided to watch a film. It was a rubbish film and not good enough to be a distraction from the pain of the contractions.

Hope all goes well. xxx

Bread and butter is great HalfMum - good for growing babies!

No need to apologise NBM - I am told that not everyone is a Mn-aholic

CC that sounds like a very cool party

CC I'm about 45mins (I think)from Newry, so if the English slatterns ever decide to have a lemondrizzle meetup, we will have a chocolate brownie meetup (does brownies trump lemondrizzle)

HMHB Hope so, although got script for anti flams so better go take one and behave, no more wii(pretend I don't care dh got fitness of 28)

CWWM when I had dd2 they sent a student doc to me to practice getting patients history and she said that the majority of women who have had more than 2 dcs go into Labour in the early hours of the morning and at the weekends

TO DO
Dishes
get dcs in bed before football

knew that was going to post twice because something strange happened

having the pary TA is the a way of keeping me focused so that I dont end up depressed and crying because my babies are growing up. But dont you know I will be on here the morning of the party doing some crisis cleaning blush].

Just thinking that means that at once point you had babies who were 3, 1 and just born all within the space of a week. Eeek!

Yeah,DD1 was born 2 days before DS 2nd birthday. DD2 was born 4 days before DD1s 1st birthday. ......................then there was 7 yrs and 8 months between DD2 and DD3!

Wow CC - that's close!! did you learn then before dc4

CC - I just told DH about the age gap between your DC and a look of pure terror crept over his face!

This thread is making me broody!

Can't remember what I needed to do.

• finish pots
• mop floor
• bring washing in
• take meat out of freezer

Hullo. Trillian said I should come. It's a bit like the Weightwatchers of doing stuff here, isn't it? The thought that others are aware of your list keeps you to the grindstone?

I shall think of a to-do list for tomorrow.

We don't count points though duchesse. Welcome!

Actually if you are too keen and complete your list more than 3 days in a week we spank you and send you to the FLYlady threads (where they do LOTS of cleaning!)

I definitely wasn't at the grindstone today, too much time on MN and sofa.
