claireybee · 19/06/2009 15:40

Well I dusted the sitting room, but the dc have put mucky handprints everywhere since then, I got my washing dry before it started raining but when getting it in there was bird poo over half of it and I hoovered but there are crumbs everywhere again. So I give up on housework!

But on the plus side I have baked an italian sponge cake, shortbread biscuits, granary rolls and a white loaf

MuppetsMuggle · 19/06/2009 16:03

Found out who my babys infant school teacher is today. I'm happy as she is with her best friend and one of the boys she gets along well with.

alicecrail · 19/06/2009 16:26

Hey slatterns

No list today or for the weekend as i have been working today and tomorrow. Next week is going to be busy as hell. I am going to list what we have each day in the hope i don't forget!

Monday
Messy play
Fridge freezer finally arriving!

Tuesday Babybounce Wednesday
Plasterer here to do ceiling
Stay and play

My grandad is also coming up next week to do loads of work on the house so need to get the garden cleared for him to do fence, finish painting the living room so he can put shelves up and get in enough food for lunch.

I have also got to ride the horses everyday as i am competing next sunday, and i have the farrier coming one afternoon.

I think i may go mad

TrillianAstra · 19/06/2009 17:53

Hi all, I now have another temp job for next week (more phone-answering, what joy) so might have to do a list for the weekend. Sorry I've been away, obviously I'd rather be on MN all day!

Anyone care to do a brief summary for me? Is everything okay? Is Muppets really pregnant?

alicecrail · 19/06/2009 18:04

Hi Trillian good news on more phone answering, means you will have to keep coming onto mn to keep your mind stimulated
I don't think we have heard about muppets wrt pg, but she has had some horrid child being abusive to her, makes me very

clairy is giving up housework to concentrate on making yummy things.

cwwm and sb are getting way too much done considering they have tiny babies and plum is becoming incredibly slatternly

Is that good enough?

TrillianAstra · 19/06/2009 18:07

Thanks!

Yes I am hoping that I will get to MN, but at the last place I could hardly do any as I had other stuff to do when the phone wsn't ringing.

HalfMumHalfBiscuit · 19/06/2009 18:12

wastingmyeducation · 19/06/2009 18:29

Evening! Had a good time in town with DS and Mum who is over for a visit from S.A. Then on the way home the pram got a flat tyre! Luckily we were right next to Halfords and the man pumped up all my tyres and replaced the punctured inner tube. It positively flies now!

DH has just gone to A+E with his arm, hopefully they'll get him sorted.

for another temp job Trillian. Hope you have enough time for 'proper' job hunting though - I got sucked into two years at a call centre by being too knackered to look for anything else.

Alice - what's babybounce?

List!-

  • dinner
  • DS bath and bed
  • clear kitchen
  • put milk bottles out
  • flop

Sweep Sitting Room Floor
Put Away Clothes
Bath DD3
Collapse on Couch

alicecrail · 19/06/2009 19:18

wasting Babybounce is run by Surestart at our local library. It is 20mins of songs and nursery rhymes followed by a story. It is supposed to be for babies up to 18mo, and then the older ones have Tot Rock, but it seems everyone just goes to babybounce instead.

smallblessings · 19/06/2009 20:15

Hi Everyone,

I am typing one handed as DD1 and DD2 have got me under cuddle arrest while DH is sorting baby.

Back in a mo, think she wants feeding.

smallblessings · 19/06/2009 20:32

Alice, I went to BB for the first time today. Sometimes not thinking too much about all the stuff I need to do helps me to feel less stressed. Breathe.

Trillian, good news about your job.

CWWM I hope you are ok. You are right enjoy Lola.

Waves to everyone.

I can't think straight today, I'm very tired. I feel like I am not making much sense when I chat to people......they probably think odd woman.

I had a great night out with my DP last night first date in about 6mths LOL.
