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.

Morning all

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRILLIAN

JKS cocoa powder like Trillian says will make them more chocolatey and also more moist I think or it could be dense, but I'm sure they'll be yum anyway

I bought more philly today might make some more if I have enough of the rest of the ingredients

I think my heart stopped beating for a minute today, as when I was down in Belfast the school rang,
and in the time it took me to answer the phone I had imagined allsorts had happened to either ds or dd1,
but dd1 has swimming today and decided to wear her swimmimg costume to school under her uniform, and then realised she hadn't packed any clean underwear, she whispered to the school secertary, so while I was out I nipped into pundstretcher and got her some pants and dropped them off to school

Everyone up washed dressed done
breakfast done
schoolruns done
Some jobs for dh done
go buy pants for dd1done
deliver pants to school done
wash & dry breakfast dishes
clean & tidy kitchen
maybe make brownies
load washing machine
finish putting away remaining clean washing
lunch
double school run

that will do for now

tick for JKS

Hows ds2 doing on the meds?

Superwasher - polish is for making people belive that you have been slaving on housework all day. In the winter months, when the heating is on, spray a little on the radiator and the house smells like you have been cleaning all day . Bleach in loo has same effect but I don't think bleach is a very MN thing!

Well gorgeous day here. I've been multi tasking.

dd project now complete she worked at dining table while I did ironing in the conservatory supervising ds played in garden. My garden is like fort knox but when the neighbour behind sets bubble machine going ASD compulsions are too high and it is like the Great Escape.

So i'm now having coffee watching both dc's in garden. Will start rest of list in a while when I drag dc's out of sun. As a family we are blessed with the whitest of skin!

JKS - most impressed with baking.

I've dug out a fab muffin recipe I've had for donkeys, and might mix it up while DS is rubbing lunch into his eyes.

I'm hoping we will get lots of chillis - we do have 5 types of chilli plant - from the outside our kitchen loos like a jungle!

Ooh we need a new thread soon - anyone got any good titles?

I MUST go and do some exercise!!!!!!!!!

5 types! That's very exciting.

My floor is smashing thank you! I intend to do it every night, so it's easy, and I can pick up the bits DS drops over the edge of the highchair and hand them back rather than be wasted. Plus he crawls on it so it needs to be not covered in dried yoghurt.

Plum - how awful! actually have done the same thing to the pool but in trousers and could just go home and get some!

JKS - I've been intending to do this for some time!
Our floor is unsealed tiles. They're lovely but absorb dirt. I miss the crappy vinyl floor at our last horrible house!

DS still napping on me so nothing else done. I may think about getting him to nap in his cot.

WME - what i wouldn't give sometimes for a crappy vinyl washable floor!
