Friday Fly (yes prof today is friday).

[scattyspice]

Morning.

Stand by for links.

I've given up trying to understand some things and some people TM. My dsis (the occasional MNer one who used to be on this thread sometimes but kept the fact incognito that she's my dsis (can't think why! ) is brill. When she comes to stay she always gets on with something that needs to be done.

My to do list is untouched but I have stripped our bed and put a load of washing on and found b/d cards (I have boxes of cards all labelled i.e. b/d, thank you, wedding/engagement/anniversary) for everyone who I send to who has a birthday in the next 3 weeks.

I'm not hungry but I suppose I'd better have lunch sometime!

Sorry, didnt mean to rub faces in it. I think my mil is trying to make up the fact that i do not have a mum.

tm, that soft play looks ace!

Hey KOMH I don't mind, really! And you and I have something on common as my Mum passed away a long time ago. Knowing me, I'm going to go overboard the other way if I become a g/mother.

Lunch time over. Back to (house)work!

I am so lacking in motivation today! Thank goodness for this thread.

To do:-
~ ironing
~ finish the paperwork that's littering the kitchen
~ post some stuff back to John Lewis and order some replacements
~ put financial paperwork in the files they belong

Ds and i went to bed so i havent got much done. Anyone know how to keep bluebottles away from my wheely bin?

Tiny steps
I have wiped all doorhandles and bannister knobs
s & s loos and basins
chucked some school and life papers
wiped kitchen worktops
emptied a wpbskt
put away lots of clothes

picked up kids with ds2 in tow
he is now watching Oliver (live version of which he missed at school and was moaning about)
others are watching something too - healthy lifestyle has gone to wall

I think pasta and pesto for supper

hello again

we have

taken ds to nursery
wm unloaded reloaded adn on
dw unloaded reloaded and on
been to 3 x garden centres
been to the tip
dp has been doing handyman type things in the garden
I have strimmed the grass and painted the new garden table with oil

mad pretty much anytime for me for soft play as long as I have a bit of notice to book time off. If its a saturday though I can't do the 18th or the 25th this month I'm afraid.

thee garden centres Wolf what did you get - something particular...although it is annoying when you have a scheme in mind and the most obvious component is not in stock... I only found my dark red petunias after much rummaging.

now this afternoon we are heading for lackadaisical
but have staggered out to hang another load of washing on line
and noticed that everythng is dying of thirst
and dug some potatoes out of curiosity! They aare ready Maybe I will leave some for another week or two but pots and bacon tonight instead of pasta..

Also now need to drag dd from Oliver and do some vp with her for tomorrow.

Also quickly hoover ds1's room for poss guests

three not thee

feeble pathetic wave from a snot ridden grouchy to ALL

Bad parenting alert : Ed is being childminded by Mario and Luigi and I haven't even asked if they're CRB checked

Potatoes (Arran Pilot) are all v. Large . Ds1 is totally disinterested, but dd hs showed a bit of enthusiasm. Hope they don't taste of plastic trug.

Re REPORTS: Everyone (who can read) in our school is utterly flummoxed by the ratings, and pushy parents were berating their children for getting "c"s when in fact they had gone to next level, ie; 4c is better than 3a. The jargon is never explained in words of one syllable, and we all finally work it out, only to forget it in time for next year

Perhaps fractions are sort of metaphysical, and philosophical whereas subtraction is jsut plain spadework. She is a creative thinker

LOL.

Done:
Visiting children collected and house/garden restored.
Lidl
reboot laundry
ironing
tea and wash up
floors swept

To do:
DC bath and bed
WRAP THE PARCEL

Tomorrow:
