PMSL Alice

I have a sore throat, runny nose and general achiness today plus slept terribly. don't feel hot though so don't think it's worth staying off work for....

Poor you perhaps you have got what your ds had? Remember to drink lots of fluids and it may be worth taking your temp just in case. Hope you feel better soon

I meant not the safest of races!!!

Good morning all! I had a productive day yesterday, got everything done plus, did an exercise video [preen] and made chicken stock. Didn't Anthea-ize my towels though.

Oh I love H&M! The fat section got pretty rubbish though, and then our H&M in town got rid of it, so no H&M for me. I have a child though.
The 18mth-5 years stuff isn't as cute as the baby clothes though, I'm quite disappointed.

I'm going to try feeding DS earlier in the evening, he's been grumpy at dinner all week.

Morning slatterns! We had a lovely weekend away . We got back at 9pm and I started the unpacking when we got home, and a wash went on and I folded clean washing The wash was v.necessary - DS did a wee all over our duvet as I was changing him before we left on Friday! Thank goodness for enormous washing machines.

JKS - about DS2. Hope you are feeling better soon as well.

CWWM - that sports day sounds fab. How about a three-legged race, I always loved that one!

Evening slatterns

No i haven't done DD's room yet, think i may do that tomorrow morning as we have nothing on.

Well, i have cleaned my oven today and i must say it does look better, but i think i am going to put more cleaner in overnight so there are bits that are well stuck. I am currently cooking a chicken and it does smell a bit like burning fat does but i did rinse the cleaner off well, so i am sure it will be fine (i hope)

Plum is there anything your DD wants to do that doesn't require nice weather?
