'September Slatterns/List makers - How clean is your skirting??'

[PlumBumMum]

Stealing Ali's title as just realised we're out of room, and hopefully all lost slatterns will find us!!!

Flame can you just take car and go nowhere for a bit?

I did a totally unnecessary job the other day - renewed my pile of teatowels! Asda had 6 for £5 so i bought them, then recycled any with holes/stains. Felt bizarrely better afterwards

I have put away all the clothes (apart from one box that I am ignoring). Conclusion... we have far too many clothes, and that was with me filling 3 charity bags of too small/don't like etc!

My feet are killing me, haven't stopped since yesterday (they were even waking me in the night)

I have tea, and am curling up til school run time.

Not been downstairs yet to see DH's progress, but seeing as the majority of the diningroom mess was the clothes, it should be looking a hell of a lot better.

Ooh I have packed a baby birth bag too - nappies, first babygrow etc. Handy to have all together for homebirth, or to grab if hospital has to happen.

Afternoon all!

Soooooooo busy....
Got a bit lost in Sheffield yesterday. It's like the Bermuda Triangle
DS had two naps yesterday and none so far today.

The whole baby clinic/HV thing makes my blood boil. I had myself worked up on Tuesday for an onslaught as DS had lost weight, and noone said anything!

I have given in and bought DS a valve-type cup from Asda, as he is always stealing his cousins and won't drink from his normal sippy-cup. If he still isn't interested then it must be the juice he's after.

Cups of tea all round I reckon.

Rest of today-

• try get DS to nap
• tea
• DS bath and bed
• wash pots
• wipe sides and tidy round in kitchen
• tidy living room
• sweep and mop
• lists and organise
• sleeeep

was anybody baking today, so that we can have something nice with the cup of tea???

Hi everyone,

Clairey yes it is that time again, think thats why I've been feeling so crap and popping migrelive(sp) the last 2 days

Flame big hugs to you, I think I would have cried if that had happened to me, forget Hugh fernlywhit, Tesco have offers on chicken at the min

JKS my MIL turned up today with lovely t-towels that had been reduced in Sainsburys

She had a whole bag of bargins, she has a sore leg so she now works on the checkouts and sees all the bargins, and gets me some, its great!
Although now I need to go find space in the cupboards for the mountain of different baking trays & roasting dishes she got me!
I think she said the whole lot cost £20 and you would not believe the stuff she had, some of it I won't need

You've all been busy today
I went for a walk with dh
then my friend came for a couple of hours

CC I'm baking white chocolate mud cake tomorrow or Sat for FILs birthday, I will share round

The counselling went well, I am definitely going to do all the sessions that are offered through my GP (5 more after today). Then I can decide whether to pay for more if I want to.
