Cheers Plum. Lots of stuff, but having to do everything round here is getting me down.
The fact I was only at the shop because DH had got paint on the sink certainly didn't help.

Plum devil child's mum is a busybody knows everyone and did some enquiring. Someone asked if he was single (not with my knowledge I might add!) and he said "not at the moment" but then someone else said "oh isn't he living with E (girl they went to school with)" so I dunno...not at the moment sounds like it's not serious but living with someone obviously is and if he was down playing his relationship then he is a wanker anyway!

So your BIL it is

Not in the mood for doing much today, ds is having a screaming and violent day so have no energy. Going to a friend's in a bit so hopefully that will help!

[aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

dd1 is crying her foot is sore so I said no point in going to dancing so now dd2 is crying because we aren't going to the library
ds is shaking his head, girls huh

Don't know what is wrong with dd1 one min shes screaming like someone has stabbed her but when I rub it its fine

Anyway did 2 baskets of ironing today plus my duvet cover and pillow cases

So going to a bit more ironing I think before early dinner
everyone off school tomorrow HAPPY SAINT PATRICKS DAY

Freak sounds complicated
JKS whats a bubble tube??

cikecaka · 16/03/2010 17:31

JKS, I am jealous of you going to Jersey, thats where we went on honeymoon! DH wants to go to London for a few days in Sept on our own, though looking at hotels earlier, it was quite pricy. I will keep looking, though might book flights soon before they go up, but then I dont know which airport to fly into

TO DO
Make a general list so I can copy and paste every morning
Write out phone number of all the scouts, that I will need tomorrow in case of any problems during the parade
Sew on DD2s badges
Finish tidying kitchen

JustKeepSwimming · 16/03/2010 18:14

CC - have you thought of City Airport? sometimes cheaper flights go there and it's meant to be convenient for getting into London (though I admit I've never done it)

Plum - well a bubble machine but not the popping kind of bubbles, a glass tube that has water in, you press a switch/plug it in and it makes bubbles that go up to the top of the water/tube and it has a light that changes colour at the bottom too.
Though ds1 seems to have miraculously made the switch not go in anymore will have to empty the water out and take it apart tomorrow, maybe. It still works just not with the switch, so just full on or off.
