Slatterns and list makers reunited - FAQ returns!!!

[FAQinglovely]

new thread - a little early but I wanted to mark my return.

Sorry for everything I've missed - but I can promise you I'm BACK now

(any major updates please let me know )

I have just spent about 45mins doing housework and i have got loads done. It's times like this when i wonder why i make such a fuss about doing housework, as when i get off my fat lazy arse and do it, it only takes a few minutes

Everyone up done
Everyone breakfast done
Everyone dressed done
Make beds done
Put washload on done
Dry washing
Unload dishwasher done
Clean up kitchen done
Pick up all random clothes scattered about done
Pick up all toys scattered about the house
Hoover living room
Hoover sofas
Clean bathroom (quickly) done
A general tidy up of whole house done
Put buggy back in the car
Put clean throws on the sofa done

My friend is coming at 10, and i have to tidy up all the toys and hoover if i get time. There is no point putting toys away until the last minute as Daisy just gets them all out again. I have hidden the crayons though as she has got a bit carried away with them recently

Morning all

Alice Enjoy your visit

CC Congratulations, Baby Beths Christening is next week and dh is her Godfather also so we are all excited too!

JKS If you haven't read Patricia Cornwall's Kay Scarpetta Series I would highly recommend them but start at the beginning, the first 8/9 are brilliant, then she seems to loose her way abit but the last one was more like the start of the series,
I lent the first one to my neighbour at my old house and when her and her partner split up she took it with her and I haven't rplaced it yet, that was years ago!
The first one is called Post Mortem

Have only sorted out the last bag I filled, 12-24 months. Will need a large glass of wine for the 0-24 month clothes . Dh going out tonight to wet babies head so I might chance it then while watching BB

Hi everyone just ironed 3 baskets of washing, although pile dosen't look any smaller

Ladygooga we got a kitten that dh rescued from a bin lorry,

AND do you want to hear an amazing story, the other night dh went to work, and he was on site for 2 hours, when he went to leave he stopped to say hello to the security gaurd, (sometimes he drives on), and the gaurd said a wee kitten has just fell out of your wheel,
AND it was our kitten, we think he must have been in the back of the van got out when dh was working then somehow climbed up under the wheel arch and then when dh drove off he fell out!
dh couldn't believe it he was really studying him to make sure it was ours,
So again he was really LUCKY, perfect name for him, I'm wondering how many lives he has left now?
(I thought it was amazing anyway) he's on my profile!

Hi, we are heading off now in a while to see the baby! I cant wait, they have called him James

AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH Dh has mad me really mad!!!

5pm i send him a text to tell him i'm making shepherds pie and we have run out of potatoes. He texts me back saying he will get some on way home. 6.30 i ring him to ask him where he has got to, only to be told he is still at work. Well, your DD is getting very grumpy because she wants her dinner, could you not have mentioned that you were going to be late home, and i would have got the potatoes myself or just given her something else. His reply was, well, you know i was going to be late. If i knew you would be late i wouldn't have fecking asked you to get the sodding potatoes!!!!!

It may seem very small and insignificant, but i have had a day of doing stuff for everyone. Tidying the house because FIL is coming this weekend, trying to organise my Aunt so she can go racing tonight, organising with my sis and grandma about lunch next week and obviously looking after DD all day, trying to get dinner on the table before 8pm and making sure everyone has clean clothes etc. I generally don't mind but today it has got me wanting to throw the bloody shepherds pie (minus the potatoe) against the fecking wall. He was out last night (he goes out one night every week) i don't ever go out without DH or DD, and tonight i feel like i just want to go out and get very drunk but i have no bloody friends anymore
